San Francisco, Nov. 17,-Wher
the Ruef trial was convened this
morning for the second session since
the attempted murder of Francis j
Heney, graft prosecutors last Friday,
the same warlike military aspect
marked it's deliberations. Ruef was
driven to Carpenters hall in the
sheriff's car surrounded by guard
of five detectives and five mounted
police who rode behind the van to
see that no attempt was made to in
terfere with the prisoner
The crowd outside the building
was kept moving by mounted police
and there was no disorder. When
the Ruef wagon was driven to the
court, the police formed line and
kept the crowd away until Ruef
could be taken inside.
Henry Ach and Thomas 3. Dozier,
Ruef's attorneys, were driven to the
court building guarded by detectives.
BY the express order of Judge
Lawler, the court room was not al
lowed to be crowded and everyone
was searched for weapons before he
was allowed to enter. ..lE
Thomas b. Dozier opened the
court proceedings by filing supple
mentary afildavit to support the mo-
tion OF Ruef's counsel for change
of venue made yesterday Attorney
Hiram Johnson objected TO the filing
OF the AFFIDAVIT on the ground that Il
was stipulated that all evidentiary
afiidavits in support OF the motion
for a change OF venue we're to have
been filed by he defense yesterday. |
Ruef's counsel opposed the OBJ |
lection with the statement that itI
was expressly stipulated by the law
and by the attorneys i'm the case |
that the motion could be renewed at |
any stage OF the trial and that an
davits covering a period of time
subsequent to the filing OF yester-
days afldavlts, could be introduced
In support of the motion for n
change OF venue at any time. The
court ruled that this contention was
correct and DoZier was allowed to
read his afildavit. which covered the
lime from yesterday up to this morn
ing.
The afildavit reviewed at length
he proceedings of yesterday and al
eyed that Ruef was In such danger
II his life that he had 10 be driven
