HAAS WAS AN
EASY TOOL FOR
THE GRAFTERS

Attorney Richards of the firm of
Roberts, Richards and Fowler, of this
city was personally acquainted with
Morris Haas, the man who attempted
to Stay Heney in San Francisco last
week and afterwards killed himself.
Speaking of the man yesterday he
said: When knew Haas in San
Francisco, several years ago, 1 did
not know that he was an ex-convict
and feel certain that the majority of
those who knew him at that time
were unaware of his former penal
servitude. Haas was a heavy drink
er. do not mean to say that he was
one who was given to periods Of
drunkenness, but was one that kept
in just about a certain degree of in
toxication all the time He was a
man who would have to have a GER
tain amount of liquor in him before
he was able to transact any business.
He was in the saloon business then
and went around in more or less of
a dazed condition.
From what remember of him l
would consider him a man who
would have been an easy mark, es-
pecially after he had been exposed
by Heney, for any one to play upon
and cause him to commit the fright
full crime. This was my belief until
had heard that he had killed him
self, but now think differently. Had
he done the work at the behest of
any one, he would have gloried in
the crime and would have fought it
out. Such was the case, however,
and his act was only that of a drink
crazed man, smarting under the lash
of what he considered great wrong.
In his statement that he made to
the officers at the time of his arrest
he stated, When Heney exposed me,
he signed his death warrant and
this goes to show with what l knew
of the character of the man, that he
had suffered the disgrace and conse-
quently brooded upon it and in his
demented condition-perhaps stirred
on to certain tent, by the feeling
