from his cot and fell on his back on the
floor Of the cell.

asked Coroner Leland, aghast at the
audacity of Biggy's advocate.
7 represent Biggy," Webb reiterated,
meekly.

sired this investigation shortened?'
Langdon asked in establishment. This
is amazing. appalling"
BIGGY BEGINS TO WHINE
Now, Mr.. Langdon,p whihed Biggy,
and then stopped.

to the subdued Webb.

Langdon asked sarcastically of the
chief.
The chief of police is not on trial"
Coroner Leland commented. This re-
assured Biggy.
You're not afraid of discriminating

again resorted to sarcasm.
Detective Burke went on with his
apology. He said that the mans
trouser leg was pulled up half way to
the knee when he was found after the
shot. Captain Duke asked If the trou-
ser leg could not have slipped up
through movements of the man in bed.
The coroner held that the answer to
that question could be nothing more
than the opinion Of the witness.
Burns asked Burke IL any abrasion
was discovered on the leg which might
have been made by the weapon press
ing against the flesh.
Biggy nudged his attorney and the
young man again dared the wrath by
objecting to the question.
Just keep quiet" warned Coroner
Leland firmly.
This is the most unusual thing 1
ever heard of, Langdon declared.
What object can there be in hindering
this investigation?'
CORONER SURPRISES CHIEF
Coroner Leland then spoke a few
words of stern advice to Biggy's law
yer, and the attorney shut up. while
Biggy himself muttered inarticulate
expostulations.
Biggy's course is the more remark
able from the fact that under the
charter the district attorney is the
legal adviser of the chief of police.
Burke went on, explaining that he
decided the pistol had been in Haas
shoe because he could not think of any
other place where it might have been
concealed.
Captain Kelly asked If Haas shoes
had been removed since the time of his
arrest to the moment of the shooting.
and Burke replied that he understood
they had not been and that the man
had not been searched to that extent.
Burke said that he and Policemen
Charles Kelly and Jack Attridge were
in charge of the prisoner.
At the inquest Thursday Haas shoes
will be put on the foot of a living man.
and the weapon will be crowded in be-
tween the elastic and the foot to see
IL it were possible for a man so armed
to walk without betraying the weapon.

Bribery Case

why not qualify on the Ruef jury?
That's a good stock, was the cop
ment made by Morris Haas, the man
who tried to slay Heney. to R. E. Chap
man. a business friend, less than two
weeks before he was impaneled as
juror in the Parkside bribery case in
which Ruef was the defendant. The
two men had frequently discussed in
yestments in mining stock and the
word stock" meant to them something
lucrative.
Frequently after Haas had been
allied as venireman in the Ruef
ase did he make that remark to
Chapman. who conducts a plumbers
supply house at 1910 Post street.
That evidence and other facts Sc
cured yesterday proved conclusively
that Haas went on the Ruef jury as
the representative of the defendant and
corroborates the theory that he was
acting in a murderous conspiracy when
he shot Francis j. Heney in Judge Law
lor's courtroom.
Mrs. M Cohn the dead mans conf
dante, would not discuss his case yester-
day nor her Friendship with the man.
Each succeeding day brings to light
evidence of the sanity of Morris Haas
at the time he fired the shot in court
In spite of the hysterical efforts to
prove Haas maniac, who shot Heney
merely because of a private grievance.
it has been shown that he was perfectly
sane.

Chapman yesterday, "and he always
seemed to be in a good humor. About
last January or February we got to
talking about mining stocks, and when
we would meet on the street he would
usually say something about buying
one stock or another. Finally, just
prior to February 81. of this year,

WAS INTIMATE WITH WOMEN
Chapman was asked if he ever heard
of Haas being mixed up with any
women, and Mrs. Cohn was described
to him.
"One woman used to be in the place

not say that Mrs. Cohn was the one.

Mrs Cohn was seen at her residence,

in regard to her knowledge of Haas
actions in connection with the shooting
of Heney or anything else, she would

she had been i'll and was unable to

frequently to the absurd examination
of herself by Chief Biggy and Captain
of Detectives Kelly on Monday, saying
that she had told all she knew thuen.
OF her own volition Mrs. Cohn pointed
out the fact that Biggy and Kelly had
not been severe on her or asked her
any ungentlemanly questions in regard
to the would-be assassin, whom the
head of the police force allowed to
commit suicide.

remarked, why not let that\ end the
