that Of miner who was in Bells
saloon in this city Thursday and pur-
chased half gallon jug of whiskey,
but his name is unknown. 1t was
reported that the man had been en-
ployed at the Pittsburg & Fairmont
Fuel Company's mine at Robinson,
but the acting coroner received word
from officials there Friday morning
that none OF their men was missing.
The body of the Slav who was kill
ed by an interurban trolley car on

Renewed Violence from
Maddened People.

SAN FRANCISCO. Calf, Nov. Ii
Frederick ]. Heney, who was shot
in the court room yesterday by Nor
iris Haas, retained consciousness
throughout the night and rested we'll.
No alarming symptoms had develop
ed this morning. and his condition is
saidto be improved. His physicians
state he has a good chance to recover.
Never was the city more stirred
than by the attempted assassination
of Heney. News OF the shooting
/ spread like wiIdfre and people in
every walk OF life hurried to swell
the crowds in the downtown district.
Haas was last night confined In the
county JAIL
There was no attempt at a demon
stration. but muttering crowds gath
cred about the city prison and court
room where Heney was shot. Thirty
policemen. armed with rifles, guard
ed the approaches to the jail during
the night.

custody by Judge Lawler immed-
lately after the shooting and is also

/ ing been locked up in fear that he
! might he made a victim OF renewed
violence from an excited and unex-
| pected quarter.
Haas declared no one except HIM
self knew of his determination to
slay Heney.t
Heney is a leading figure in the
prosecution of municipal corruption
in this city, and Haas Is a. Jewish
saloon keeper, who had been accept
ed as a juror in previous trial and
afterwards removed, 1t having been
shown by the prosecution that he was
an ex-conyict, a fact not brought out
in his examination as a yenipeman.
The shooting occurred at 4:22
O'Clock in the afternoon. Judge
Lawler had few moments before
declared ten minute recess and the
jury had left the room.
| The attorneys, for the prosecution
and defense had returned to the room
for short conference with Judge
Lawler in his chambers. Mr.. Heney
had resumed his customary seat and
was conversing with Chief Clerk Nc
Cabe, OF the district attorneys Office,
when Haas came forward. He ap-
preached Heney, and, placing re-
volver against his right cheek, fred.
Instantly the court room was the
scene of the greatest excitement.
Some bystanders seized Haas, others
'hastened to the relief of Heney, who
was caught as he fell forward, the
blood streaming from his wound.
When he was arrested, Haas said
he shot Heney because he had ruined
him. ts4
In a statement made to Police Cap
tain Duke, Haas said:
;sHeney denounced me in public,
which.ruined my life and branded me
as an ex-convict. 1t was an outrage.

sacrificed myself. not for my own
honor, but for those who are situated
like myself. by God, would not
have brought my four children into
the world to bear such brand If +
had known that the fact that 1 was
an ex-conyict would become known.
Heney ruined me. That is why 1
shot him.
