Tense was committed, because 1t did
not allege any threat to injure prop
erty, the court holding that liquor
license was not property, but mere
permission; that g threat to prevent
the obtaining Of a liquor license by
one who had no authority In the
premises did not constitute threat
against property, and because of nu-
merous errors in the ruling Of the
trial Judge, the appellate court held
that the Indictment was invalid and
the conviction null and void. In ef-
feet, the court held that Schmitz was
not given fair and impartial trial.
The decision will have the effect
of invalidating the other four indict-
ments, charging Schmitz, as well as
Ruef, with extortion, and renders void
the plea Of guilty made by Ruef, as
the appellate court held that no crime
was committed.
BY this reversal It is feared that tho
prosecution has lost its hold upon
Ruef and 1t is freely predicted that
the former political boss will now
refuse all overtures for immunity,
wholly or in part, to testify in tho
brfbery-graft cases, and fight every In
dictment against him.
Although the court ordered Schmits
discharged from custody on the ex-
tortion indictments, neither Schmitz
nor Ruef can take advantage Of the
reversal for sixty days, and even
then there is little likelihood that
either Of them will be able to get the
enormous bail required for their re-

HE|NzE HAS LOST CONTROL

Copper Magnate Was Unable to Meet

New York.-Unabe to meet pay

tuition on Wednesday, F. Augustus
Heinze lost control Of the Mercantile
National bank, the conduct Of which
as its president. had brought about his
arraignment in the United States cir.
cult court earlier in the day on
charges OF generalization.
One year ago Heinze bought con.
trolling interest from the Goulds, with
whom he pledged his holdings as Sc.
curity for his promise to pay for them
in full within one year. This loan Of
Sf,200,00O was due on Wednesday to
Edwin Gould and William Nelson
Cromwell, who was a member of the
Gould party In the bank before the
Mercantile was added to the Heinze-
Morse-Thomas chain of financial
houses. Up to the last moment al
lowed him Heinze struggled to meet
his obligations, and so to retain his
banking interests.
His failure was chronicled by the
following statement, issued by Mr..
Cromwell after an afternoons confer
ence Of the parties concerned:
THE Heinze stock In the Mercan-
tile National bank has been acquired
by Mr.. Gould In a satisfactory ar
rangement. Mr.. Heinze was given
every possible chance to pay for the
stock, but because of his inability to
do SO In the time agreed upon, we
have been forced to take It over"
Later Mr.. Cromwell added that the
Gould interests would assume their
proper place in tho bank board at the
meeting On January IA. This implies.
of course, that the so-called Heinze
directors will then retire.
