TRAGEDY TURNS
INTO A FARCE
Opinion of Lawyer for the De-
Tense of San Francisco Bri-
berry Graft Prosecutions.
LANGD0N SAYS OTHERWISE
ABRAHAM RUFF TREAcHERoUs
ALL THROUGH.

San Francisco, Jan. 21.-"It was a
tragedy; now it is a farce" This was
the opinion, tersely expressed today by
counsel for Patrick Calhoun, of the
present status of the San francisco
bribery-graft cases and the prosecu-
TONS change of attitude toward Abra-
ham Ruef Rogers came from Los An
geles last night and was present in
court this morning when Luther
Brown. associated with the defense in
the United Railroad cases, was ar
raigned before Judge Dunno on the
charge of subornation of perjury
growing out of the alleged attempt to
kidnap Fremont Older, managing ed
itor of the Bulletin. Browns pleading
was continued until Feb. 3.
Sincerity Questioned.
Counsel for Calhoun not only ques-
toned the sincerity of the prosecution
in turning upon Ruef, after promising
him immunity, but declared it to be his
opinion that the whole matter was
framed up TO fool the public"
THE apparent sudden change of at
titude on the part of the district attor-
ney's office toward Ruef was no sur
prise to us" said Rogers, neither was
the disclosure of an immunity contract
any news to us.
1--WE had long been aware of the ex-
istence of this contract, knew who had
it, and were well informed as TO its
provisions. What we did not know
however, was the fact that Judge
Dunno and Judge LawlOr had been
consulted in the matter"
snodonss Sfsfsnoanf
THAT Rogers and the defense in the
Calhoun case knew about the immu-
nifty contract. and just what Ruef
would testify to if placed on the stand,
is true" declared District Attorney
William II. Langdon, when informed
of Rogers statement. THAT very fact
is just what got Ruef into trouble
that the other side not only knew about
these matters. but l know positively
that they had been given information
about other things.
Rogers told the truth when he said
he was fully informed upon what had
transpired and was transpiring. The
prosecution became we'll aware of that.
To that Ruef can lay all his trouble in
which he now finds himself and all the
consequences that follow"
"As to the statement that the prose-
cutiOn is not in earnest about prosecut-
ing Ruef to the full extent" continued
the district attorney, that is too absurd
to merit any reply from me. That viii
be fully answered by Ruefs trials"
