APPELLATE COURTS
RULING ATTACKED
Attorney for Marin County
Seeks to Appeal Bradbury
Perjury Case
Lawyer Declares Justice Wrong
in Directing to Phrase,
TOLD the Bank"

SAN RAFAEL. Nov. 5.-The case OF
James 5. McCue against William Brad
bury, the well known millionaire or
Corte MADEIRA, which created a furore
several years ago, came TO notice again
here today, when Thomas Boyd, dis
triet attorney for Marin county, filed
an application for an appeal from the
recent decision of the appellate court.
which reversed the judgment given by
the superior cOurt>in the trial OF Brad
bury for perjury.
In 1904. McCue and Bradbury had
trouble over a mortgage and note for
$4,000. which was secured by property
worth $4,000. McCue asked Bradbury
to renew the note, but he refused Me-,
Cue says he then informed the mill
lionaire that his money would be de-
posted in the Marin county bank at
San Rafael and that he could call for
it there. Bradbury refused to DO SO
and then he advertised the property
for sale in the columns Of a little
known newspaper. McCue discovered
the advertisement and brought suit 10
stop the sale.
During the hearing of the case it
was alleged that Bradbury had used
his influence at the bank TO keep it
from lending McCue money to pay his
mortgage. Bradbury. however, denied
the allegation in court and was in
dicted for perjury. He was tried. con-
victed and was facing a term in the
penitentiary when an appeal was taken
10 the appellate court. There it was re-
versed by Justices Cooper, kerrigan
and Hall on the ground that the indict-
ment was not definite enough when IL
said that Bradbury told the bank.
Justice kerriGan, who wrote the JudS-
ment. said that the phrase was
meaningless as though Bradbury had
been accused of telling the United
States something"
Boyd has appealed the case, declaring
that Told the bank" is understood per-
fectly by businessmen and has a clear
meaning. He points cut incidentally
that in giving his testimony Bradbury
always understood what Told the
bank" meant.
Should the decision of the supreme
court uphold that Of the appellate court
Bradbury will be freed entirely from
all danger Of reindictment. because the
matter has dragged so slowly through
the courts that further action is out
lawed.

ANTI-RACETRACK LAWS
SAID TO BE ASSURED
Secretary of League Declares
Legislature Will Do Away
With Gambling on Horses

Secretary III. Spencer of the Anti
Racetrack league has issued state
ment declaring that Tuesdays election
was a decisive victory for the principle
of the league and that the results of
the election insure the adoption of
legislation at the coming session of
the legislature which will put a stop to
pook making and pool selling at the
tracks and in poolrooms, cigar stores
and saloons
;, according @ to Secretary Spencer.
more than twothirds of the as
semblymen went on record as op-
posed to racetrack gambling and
Will vote for anti gambling legis-
lation, while % of the 40 state
refor@ wt aff fyo two 6sags p{seged to the
spencer declares that the charge that
racetrack interests contributed largely
10 the election of republican machine
candidates is untrue, and that in prac-
tlcally every county south of Te-
hachapf as well as in the Sacramento
and San Joaquin valleys and the north
ern part of the state. the assemblymen
and senator's elect stand for anti-race-
track gambling legislation.
The only fight lost by the league, ac-
cord1ng to Spencer, was the one made
against Senator Eddie Wolfe in San
Francisco, who was member of the
senate committee on public morals,
which chloroformed the bill introduced
during the 1907 session. Senator Henry
w. Lynch of the thirty-first district,
who was another member of the COM
mittee, was defeated by Archie Camp
bell, who made a f1ght on the anti
racetrack gambling plank.
Spencer asserts that no fund that has
or can be raised to fight an anti
gambling bill will be sufficient to bring
about its defeat. and that the reform
is bound to be brought about.
