 San Francisco has not had so warm an October day in years. The air with the tabernacle and the exceptionally lofty and well ventilated chamber was stiffling. Bailiffs reinforced by police men kept order at times with difficult ty. Incipient applause was quelled a
 score of times and once when Heney flashed a stunning answer at Attorney ByingtOn who interrupted him the big
 crowd broke into a storm of clapping. A bailiff pointed out to the court two men who started it and Judge Lawler had them elected.
 Judge Lowler concluded his charge
 to the jury at 6:25 p. m. The jury was
 taken down stairs to the courtroom
 to deliberate. At 7:20 no verdict hay ing been reached and none being in sight Judge Lawler sent the trial

 theatre if the jury had anything to report. If no verdict should be reached by 11:3O he said the jury would be
 locked up for the night in their rooms at the Fairmont.
 IL was 3:25 when iIenev began his argument As in the Glass case he erected on a huge easel in front of the jury box a lettered placard bear ing the tabulated figures of the Unit cd Railroads bank deposits. tEe with drawal of the funds. and the amounts alleged to have been expended as bribes He said the very fact that the supervisors on the witness stand had varied in their recitals of the circum- stances was the very highest proof that they Were telling the truth. ab solutely uninfluenced by the prosecu- tion. because human minds almost never see the same thing in exactly the same way.
 Tt was urged by Rogers said Heney, that | as a private prosecu- tor was secretly paid; if that is so. lit is a crime punishable by the law of the state. I'll guarantee that the dis trict attorney will appoint him (Rog- ers) a deputy to go before the grand jury in my place and indict me if he can produce syllable of evidence that I am being privately paid. or that the Spring Valley is back of the pros ecution or any other things he has dragged in here in a desperate effort to get you to acquit the defendant whether or not you conscientiously

 Why" Heney demanded. when af- ter the fire it was of the utmost inn portance that the street car system be resumed at once by the United Rail roads. the whole city was in favor of granting the trolley franchise. why do we find the United Railroads going to Abe Reuf? Why didn't Patrick Calhoun go openly to the board of sU- pervisors and demand. not ask. but demand that the franchise be granted? Why did he go to Reuf?"

First and foremost on the list to come are the prize fights. IL starts with the vicious and criminal element. And with whom are they married. a polygamous marriage. if you please. but one that exists nevertheless The prize fighting. criminal element. and houses of prostitution are married to the public service corporations. Why? Because a common interest draws them together politically. They all want something they are not entitled to under the law The fight promot- CTS want protection from interference with fake fights. The keepers of the houses of prostitution and many keep CTS of saloons want protection for crimes committed therein. Both of them. like the public service corporal tions. want money. beloved money. And how shall it be the easiest made by such corporations as the United Railroads? All you have to do is to change a S2O.O0O corporation over night into a s9O.OOO.00O corpora ton. If you take in money enough from the cars to pay interest at f per cent a year on your s90.000.000 you find bankers. like Hellman. who are willing to buy your bonds and stocks, and who thereafter deplore the denOu- ment and who from a sense of public duty demand that this sort of thing
