ic climax late Friday when Assistant
District Attorney Francis Heney. who
has been in charge of the prosecution
during its tortuous course of two years.
was shot and seriously wounded in the

cry.
Heney is now resting easily in the
Lane hospital. and the physicians say
his wound is not fatal. Haas Is in the
city prison.
Heney. as he lay on the operating
table, said: 81 will live to prosecute
both Haas and Ruef."
The assassin is a saloonkeeper, who
was drawn upon the jury panel in the

having been temporarily passed by
both sides. was exposed by Heney as
an eX-convict.
Heney dramatically produced a pho

had been a convict and was immediate
ly discharged from the jury.

Examiner Changes Its Tune.

San Francisco Cal.-For more than
a year the Examiner has kept up
bitter attack. not only upon Heney.
but upon Spreckels. Burns, Langdon
and all others connected with the
prosecution. Cartoons have been used
almost constantly to belittle the graft
fighters. For many months the Ex-
aminer has run this line on its edi-
torial page:
1T is 755 days since the prosecution
began and no one Is in the peniten-
tiary yet"
The figures were changed daily.
Saturday for the first time this line
was missing. A two-column wide edi.
torial said this OF the man the paper
has tried in every way to belittie:
"The attempt to kill Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Francis J. Heney by an
ex-convict at the moment when Heney
had brought RIef to the prison door
and seemed to be In the very act Of
thrusting the arch-grafter into the
