was for? Al don't know 1 handed
him the check and asked him to in
dorse 1t.
Q-It was $4,000 he was indorsing?
Ale may have been told by some
body else. had no difficulty in get
ting him to do it.
Ole indorsed the check, handed it
back to you. and said nothing? A.
Yes. sir. I said nothing.
Q.-Then when you took the money
over, what did he say? A.-Nothing.
Ole was there; you handed it to
him? A.-No.
o.-what did you do? Alt was the
other Umbsen.
Q.-Whom did you hand the $50, 900 to I?
At was in an envelope. l had it
in my newspaper at the time I was
going home i had to wait few min
utes, If 1 remember correctly-he was
Umbsen, Gus. as I went in and said,
Hello, Gus aAd spoke about some
thing and while doing that laid the
thing down on tho desk and said
goodby and went out.
Q.-What did Harry Umbsen have to
do with it, the check was made out to
him? A.-Harry Umbsen owned a
piece of land jointly together This
was presumably a purchase of that
block of land.
Q.-Gus and Harry were familiar
with the transaction? Al could not
say that.
Off you could not say that, what
arrangement did you have with Harry
Umbsen? Al went back afterward.
after couple of days, and gave him a
deed.
Q.-When he signed the deed. did you
tell him what it was for, why he was
doing it. and why you asked for the
deed? Al was given the deed. !
don't remember but what that was sent
to me in. an envelope to my Office.
Q.-When you went down with the
checks and handed them to Gregg, did
he pass out the envelope with the cur
rency in it? A.-No, he had to get it.
@. Did he put it in an envelope be-
fore handing it to you? A. Brought the
envelope at the time he did. counted 1T,
and put it in an envelope upstairs.
@. Is it customary to furnish an en-
velope every time a man asks for
money without asking for It? A. j
don't know.
Q. ] mean bills? A I haven't had
enough experience with bills to say.
Juror. Mr.. Watson, as secretary of
the company is probably familiar with
its financial condition. Did that COM
pany have that much to it's credit in
that bank at that time or did they ar
range for a line of credit to get this
money? A. If I remember correctly
we had between nine and a hundred
and twenty thousand on deposit.
Q. Did this deed from the corporation
back to you folks who executed that?
The San Francisco call., 1907-06-16

A. I think Mr.. Green and myself as Sec
retary.
O. Did the board of directors-A.
(interrupting) Pass on that? No, we
had blanket resolution on file at the
city hall.
@. Green told you to execute this
deed? A. Yes, sir.
O. And at the time he told you to
execute it, he told yeu the company
would execute a deed back to you? A.
/ would not be positively sure that he
did that.
@. You didn't execute that without
knowing that you were going to get it
back or the money for it? A. No, 1
don't think I would have executed a
deed without knowing I was going to
get something back. don't think any
thing was said as to that at ALL
O. What was the value of that piece
of property? A. At that time it was
approximately the value. within a
couple of thousand dollars may be. of
the value of the checks-bring more
than that at that time split into lots
O. So it made a very good blanket
1T shows you the difficulties of tracing
any of these things. Witness gives no
answer.
@. Were the lots selling out there;
you had the selling end? A. The sales
end of the property was in my office.
The company was organized with the
understanding that I was to have full
charge of the sales end of the property
O. Did you give guarantees with
deeds or contracts OF sale you made
that a railroad system should be in
operation within certain period Of
time? A. No period of time, no. There
was a warranty that went in each con-
tract of sale which stated that we
would do the street work, fence every
one of the blocks, sidewalk, and put in
sewers, put in water and that we would
put in a railroad.
Q. No gas? A. I don't think that gas
was in. It has been almost a year
since I severed connection with it,
don't recollect the exact wording of
the contract
Q-It was of great interest to your
people that the franchise should be Sc
cured. With that franchise the hand
ling of the property would be much
easier? A.-That is quite true. I had
been selling a great deal of lots there
myself prior to the formation of this
company, and the necessity for rail-
road became very apparent and that
was what started the formation of this
company If a railroad could be, we
would sell great deal of land out
there
Q-When did your contract termi-
nate with the Parkside company A.
I resigned in July. last July.
Odd you have a contract? Al
was employed on salary.
Q.-You received no commissions on
the sale Of property? A.--Not at all
The San Francisco call., 1907-06-16

Q.-Afterward a new contract was
entered into with Umbsen & Co.? A.
Yes, sir.
Q.-On salary. or commission basis?
A.-That couldn't say; that was done
after the severance of my relations
with them.
Q.-You were not stockholder? A.
I was.
Q-Are you now? A.-No.
< Q--At the time you severed your re-
lations you sold your stock? A.-Ye Yes,
sir.
Abraham Ruef called. Sworn.
Q.-You are willing to testify and
have it used against you? A-Yes, sir.
OF wish you would tell this grand
jury about your receipt of money in
the Parkside matter or promise of
money. Al will state the situation
as to the Parkside matter quite con-
cisely because 1 have thought it over
while waiting. Shortly before the ap
plication for a. franchise for the Park
side road was filed, that is, an applica-
tion to have a franchise offered for
sale. the matter was brought up by
Mayor Schmitz, as I remember, in the
caucus of the board of supervisors ore
Sunday night, and it was stated by
him that number of people who were
extremely desirous of operating such a
road, being interested in realty in its
neighborhood, were desirous of secur-
ing the franchise and having 1t Of
fered for sale. not caring who secured
the franchise, whether it was the
United Railroads or any other company,
but being prepared themselves to bid
for it. and he stated to the board of
supervisors or members of the board
of supervisors there, that these people
were developing the city and spending
large amounts of money in improving
real property. They were progressive
citizens. 1t would, in his opinion, be
a good thing to award them the fran
chise. The board of supervisors then
it in that light just then, and postponed
The mayor presented it on the basis
personal regard for the people inter-
tages to the city, suggested that it be
pretexts the members put it off and put
it off and put it off. 1 had endeavored,
at the request of the mayor, to have
them vote for it but l found myself
