TELLS OF COMMISSIONS
Ruef's Lawyer Has Gallagher
Go Over Old Boodling Story

For the first time in 13 days some
slight progress was made in the hear
ing of Abe Ruef in the Parkside case
yesterday. 1t was the fifteenth day
that James L. Gallagher has been on
the stand and the thirteenth day or
his cross examination by Attorney
Newburgh. Police Judge Cabaniss in
formed NeWburgh that he was anxious
to finish at the earliest possible mo-
ment, and he allowed Ruefs attorney
much less latitude in asking delaying
but otherwise purposeless questions
than formerly.
Under cross examination Gallagher
related details of the payment of $500
to the supervisors from Ruef for grant :
ing privileges to the fight trust. Of
this amount Gallagher admitted that
he had retained. s25 in each instance
as a commission" He testified that
Supervisor McGushin had been more
10th to accept the bribe than any of
the other members of the board.
Gallagher again baked at the use
of the word "bribe." which Newburgh
insisted on hurting at him and to which
Assistant District Attorney Ward OBJ
lawyer was entitled to use the word
if he cared to- but suggested that good
taste would keep him from being pur-
-posely offensive to the witness.
After hearing court during the whole
afternoon, Judge Cabaniss decided that
he would not insist on a night ses-
sion, as he had previously ruled, after
Newburgh had assured him that he
would try to finish his cross examina-
tion in four hours more.
An affidavit will be presented to
Judge Cabaniss this morning to sign
TO the effect that no unnecessary delay
has occurred in the hearing of the
case. This affidavit is to be presented
to Judge Lawlor in an effort to secure
further postponement of the trial of
Ruef in Lawlor's court.

FORMER CLERGYMAN
SENT TO PENITENTIARY
r. L. Morrill, Sentenced to Five
Years in San Quentin for
Passing Fictitious Checks

+. I. Morrill,, ex-Methodist clergy
man and ex-lawyer was sent TO san
Quentin for FIVE years on two charges
Of passing fictitious checks by Judge
Cook yesterday. Ten days previously
Morrill, had pleaded for mercy with
tears in his eyes, saying that the loss
OF his wife had started him drinking
The judge placed him on probation, but
since then he has forged three addi-
Iional checks.
All that Morrill, had 10 say in extern
uatiOn Of his continuance in the path Of
crime was that he could not get work
on account Of being partly paralyzed
and that he had been drinking.
i told you AT the time l didn't think
you would be able 10 resist the tempta
zion 10 drink Judge Cook told him.
But I listened 10 your plea and
dropped my original intention of giving
You one year on each charge. Only 10
days have passed, and you are arrested
for doing the same thing again. An
example must be set those who are out
on probation In your case probation
viii be revoked and you viii be SEN
fenced to serve two and half years in
san Quentin on each charge"
Morrill, made no plea for mercy on
this occasion, evidently realizing that
il would be futile.

RUFF is BITTER
AGAINST LAWLOR
Seeks to Have Case Tried Be-
fore Other Superior
Court Judge
CRATER Files Long Affidavit
Alleging Prejudice on
Part of Jurist

The trial of Abe Ruef on the charge
of bribing John j. Furey of the Doodle
board of supervisors in connection with
the trolley franchise is on Judge Law
lor's calendar to begin today. Pur-
suing their usual tactics of muddying
the issue, Ruefs attorneys yesterday
filed notice of three motions, accom-
panied by verbose affidavits by the de-
fendant. They will move that the case
be transferred to some other depart
ment of the superior court on account
of the alleged bias and prejudice of
Judge Lawlor against Ruef; that in
dictments 1895, 1897 and 143S be dis
missed and that they may be stricken
from the trial calendar
In his affidavit supporting the motion
for the removal of the case to another
department, Ruef asserts over and over
again that Eawlor is animated by ha-
tired toward him. One cause for this,
he says, is that in 1906 he prevented
the judges Endorsement by the repub-
lican and union labor conventions. He
states that at that time he criticised
Judge Lawlor's capacity, ability and
fairness as a Judge, and that his re-
marks were conveyed to the judge.
Ruef alleges that the judge is on terms
of amity with Rudolph Spreckels, Ere
mont Older, Francis j. Heney and Will
nam j. Burns, ana complains lildl wien
Heney denounced the defendant as a
criminal Judge Lawlor did not censure
the prosecutor.
Many pages of his wordy affidavit
are devoted to threshing over the old
matter of the immunity contract. Ruef
asserts that Lawlor was party to an
agreement that all subsequent indict-
ments against him would be dismissed,
as well as those returned before the
immunity contract was signed. He
announces that he will rely upon the
immunity contract as a defense in the
trial of the case, and that Judge Law
lor will be a material witness The
judges credibility is involved and may
be questioned, Ruef impudently asserts,
and, therefore, he adds, the judge is
not able to give him a fair trial.
To the motion to dismiss and the
motion to strike from the calendar,
Ruef has affixed his so page printed
pamphlet containing the text of his
affidavit before Judge Dunno in support
of the motion to withdraw his plea of
guilty in the French restaurant cases.
