RUFF PLEADS GUILTY.

Confession of Erisco's Political Boss
Terrihes Grafters.
The amazing court confession of
ABE" Ruef, political boss of San Fran
cisco. CAL, and the county for years,
when he was arraigned for trial be-
fore Judge Dunno on charges of craft
and extortien, and his plea of guilty,
has caused the most profound ssnsa-
ton in San Francisco and Throughout
the State.
In the ranks Of the grafters and
boodlers, and especially among the mil
lionaire bribe-givers who have bought
and sold public rights and franchises
for years and corrupted scores Of pub
lie officials. Ruefs startling surrender
and his explicit promise to expose those
responsible for the existing vicious con-
dltions, created terror amounting to
panic.
While Ruef did not 90 into details
In his remarkable statement to the
court he declared his desire to Join the
