IN THE RUFF TRIAL
Sixteen TaIesmen Examined at
Former Call Nearly Exhaust
ed Without Argument
Leopold Altschnl Challenged by
Ruef's Attorney Because OF
His Relationship

and OF this number IA had irremovable
timony of an accomplice and another.
Leopold Altschul of 24S2 Bush street,
Is the brother in law of a man who Is
an uncle by marriage of the defendant;
The complicated relationship was made
the subject of a challenge interposed
by Ruefs counsel, Henry Ach, and not
denied by Assistant District Attorney
Heney, and Altschul went the way of
the other Is.
When court adjourned there were
five men in the box waiting examina-
ton, together with the seven ALREADY
passed subject to peremptory challenge.
Judge Lawlor ordered the drawing or
new venire of 100 names returnable
Tuesday morning. The trial will pro-
ceed Monday morning with the exam
fnation of the talesmen remaining from
the last venire
With but three exceptions the exam
ination of jurors was conducted ex-
peditiously and the men were excused
readily. Only William M. Lacey, real
estate broker of 419 Clement street.;
Marks Christensen. a retired liquor
dealer of $40 Fifth street, and Corne-
uus Coakley. retired, Of 533 Connectf-
cut street, had to be questioned at
length.
Lacey had an opinion in the case
which he had formed from reading the
newspapers. He had read an account
of the confession Of the supervisors
before the grand jury, but did not re-
member if he had seen The Calls ver-
batim report of the proceedings or had
read a general report of the affair In
another morning paper James y. NC
Cormick, an employe of the Chronicle,
brought the files of that paper into
court and Lacey examined the papers.
He could not state definitely even then
where he had seen the report, but was
so firm in his opinion that he was ex-
cused.
Marks Christensen had been one or
the witnesses during the Burns con-
tempt case. He had signed the petf-
tion of the San Francisco Improvement
club presented to him by r. c. Schind-
Ter, the Burns detective. This paper
was declaration against the continu-
ance of the graft prosecution. Though
Christensen admitted that he had
signed the paper without-knowing what
it contained he was of an opinion ad-
verse to the graft prosecution and was
challenged by Heney.
Cornelius Coakley required tedious
questioning before it developed that he
would not believe an accomplice. He
was dismissed

Cuneo, Morris Hyman, Andrew Griffin,
