RUFF KEPT
FAITH, SAYS
HIS COUNSEL
ACTUAL TRIAL OF BOSS MAY
BE LONG DELAYED
Preliminary Motions Are Not Vet Dis
posed of and Already Record
Contains 10000
Words
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 1S--With
10000 words, covering about $50 type
written pages, already in the record on
what is merely the hearing on a pre-
liminary motion to vacate his arraign-
ment. and as yet no counter showing
put in by the prosecution, the actual
trial of Abraham Ruef seems far dis
tant.
Henry Ach. Ruefs leading counsel,
finished his argument this afternoon.
and Judge Lawlor gave Frank ]. Muir
ply, Ach's associate, one hour tomor-
row morning in which to present his
views and authorities.
One days time WIFI probably then be
granted by the court to Ach to get such
additional affldavits from Drs. Nieto
and Kaplan. the two Jewish rabbits,
and other persons bearing upon the i'm
munity contract and the alleged meth
DDS adopted by the prosecution to get
Ruef to testify before the grand jury.
This will be followed by tho counter
affidavits of the prosecution.
Ach today gave notice that he would
insist upon suhpoenaeing and placing
upon the witness stand those who re-
fused to make affidavits, mentioning
Judge Dunno, Judge Lawlor, District
Attorney Langdon. Special Agent w.
J. Burns, Francis ]. Heney and w. H.
Buggy.
The defense appears to be somewhat
in doubt whether It can appeal from
Judge Lawlor's decision on the mo-
ton should il be adverse, but 1t was
intimated In that event writ for pro-
hibition as q bar to the trial of Ruef
would be applied for.
Says Ruef Kept Faith
During the course OF his long argyll
ment and the citing OF a formidable
array of authorities upon the status
of immunity agreements from 1775 to
the present day, Ach declared: Both
Mr.. Murphy, my associate, and myself
have been assured by our client. with
out any reservation whatever, that he
has kept his part of the immunity
pact to the very letter.
SHOULD the court deem 1t necessary
to go into the matter of the good or
bad faith of the defendant of this
prosecution not only will we endeavor
to prove that Mr.. Ruef kept his part of
the agreement in every respect, but
that the breaking of the contract by
the district attorney was entirely due
to Interior motives.
"It will be for this court to determine
what Mr.. Heney and District Attorney
Langdon meant by their denials upon
the public rostrum during the munici-
pol campaign ana Dy statements TO va
rious parties that Ruef had not been
and would not be granted immunity,
when at the same time they were party
to a solemn agreement that he was not
to be prosecuted.
sit won't be pleasant investigation,
can assure your honor, and II will
involve the credibility of some of the
persons connected with this matter"
Ach, during his argument, also made
the assertion that Assistant District
Attorney Heney and Special Agent
Burns had requested him to see Judge
Lawlor with reference to getting the
latter to dismiss the cases against
Ruef.

MOTHER LOVE.

A mother, wearing an old spIit-bon- net, pushed her way through the crowd. She stood at the foot of the gallOws and begged the sheriff to let her kiss "her baby" once more. A grown and repul- sive murderer now! Yes: to you, but not to that mother. Once I saw row of criminals, chained neck to neck, marched into train by a Texas peni- tentiary agent. As the cars began to move, woman clad in black waved a dark -bordered handkerchief and, with quivering lip, said: Goodbye, Tom mie!" That was his pet name when she rocked his innocent, curly head over her mother-heart. Such love is deathless all else yields to it's reign. Of Nero one of the worst tyrants that ever held sway over Rome, 1t is record ed that on the morning after he was buried amidst general execration fresh flowers were found strewn by an un- known hand upon his grave. True Down in the human heart, crushed by
 the tempter,
 Feelings lie buried that grace can
 restore;
 Touched by loving hand, weakened
 by kindness,
 Cords that were broken will vibrate
