were called before the grand jury they
went into the history of the dealings
with Ruef in full, hiding nothing, and
seeking leniency on the sole ground
that they were held up by Ruef. This
has been their position all along With
these three men on the witness stand
to declare that the money paid TO Rlief
was extorted from the Parkside COM
pany, Ruers usual cry of ''an attor-
ney's fee" will be but a sickly moan.
G. H Umbsen undoubtedly will be
the star witness for the prosecution
1t is expected that he will describe in
full all the dealings with Ruef. even
to the payment of the money. and that
Thus the testimony against the ex
boss will be direct and conclusive.
BETWEEN TWO FIRES
On the other hand will be the bood-
ling ex supervisors to tell how Ruef
held out after promising them certain
amount and how he paid them only q
portion of the sum promised
The Parkside case is the only one in
which Ruef does not have the men who
furnished the bribe money aligned
strongly on his side for their own pro-
lection and willing to go to any lengths
to save him. Green, Umbsen and Bro
beck have frankly admitted their deal
ings with Ruef and have defended
themselves with the declaration that
the money was paid simply because
Ruef forced them to pay it
To make their own position secure
these men must abide by their original
declarations, and instead of aiding Ruef
will give the most damning evidence
against him.
