RUFF'S Defense A
DENIAL OF BRIBERY
Patrick Sullivan and Paul Bar

Parkside Jury
Ach's Questions Indicate the
Tactics to Be Pursued

Patrick Sullivan. a retired shipping
mission merchant and well known mem
Der of the Italian colony. were added
yesterday to the list OF jurors in the
Ruef case who have been accepted.
subject to peremptory challenge They
successfully weathered the storm of
severe cross examination at the hands
Of Henry Ach without disQualifying
themselves for jury service in the case
on trial, but the exhaustive inquiries
made by Ach consumed the entire day
and no other talesmen were Ques-
toned.
There are six jurors in the box at
the present time, but all except one
of them have been passed over chal-
lenge by the defense, and it is prob
able that at least two will be per-
emptorily challenged when the time
comes for the exercise of this preroga-
tive. Barbieri is one of these. Aoh
fenced hard with him all the afternoon
in an endeavor to break down his posi-
tive assertion that he held no belief
as to Ruefs guilt in the Parkside mat
ter at the present time. but failed to
shake him, and found more than his
match in the game of endurance.
BATTLES ACH'S EFFORTS
Sullivan was selected after two hours
of examination by Ach at the morning
session of court, but not single
fact was developed to cast any sus-
picion on his assertion OF complete i'm
partiality, and he was SO eminently fair
in his answers that the challenge in
terposed against him by Ach was a
mere formality based on the fact that
he had served as a juror in the Tevis-
Bulletin libel case. With Barbieri 1t
was different. for he admitted having
been instrumental in the formation OF a
merchants anti-graft organization and
being active in number OF other
associations particularly unpopular
among the defendants In the graft
cases Ach consequently used every
means at his command to secure an ad-
mission of bias or prejudice from Bar
bieri, but the latter was so steadfast
in his assertion of fair mindedness that
no legal grounds for disqualification
were developed. and Ach gave up the
attempt after Barbieri had stated that
II he were so unfortunate as TO nno
himself in Ruefs position he would
ask no fairer a jury than one composed
of men of his own state of mind.
sullivan and Barbieri were each
asked several preliminary questions by
District Attorney Langdon before court
adjourned Thursday afternoon, and the
prosecution did not continue the in
ouiry yesterday morning. but turned
the two talesmen over to the defense
at once. Charles G. Fredel, the juror
who declared Thursday that some man
representing himself to be from the

on the jury panel. corrected his state

The Paragraph Pulpit
Unitarian
science and Religion

Science and religion ars not IN the
least antagonistic. Once they were so
considered by the church, believing, as
1t did, In a supernatural basis of reve-
lation. The Unitarian church, how
ever, stands for religious philosophy
that is in fullest accord with the prin-
ciples and basis of science. 1t is will
ing to submit religion to the closest
possible scrutiny and investigation.
If religion is so artificial and unreal
that it has anything to fear from the
research of the honest human mind. it
is hardly worth ones loyalty at all.
Only in so far as religion is able to
withstand all doubt can it approve it
self to the modern mind.
