his cell at the county jail Saturday night
and early today the seven physicians In
attendance upon the prosecutor OF the
bribery cases agree in the belief that the
long and anxious interval has developed
not a single unfavorable symptom resultant
from the bullet wound in his head. There
is neither fever nor indication OF dread
blood poisoning; the patient has shown no
unexpected loss of strength and between
periods of long and refreshing sleep last
night he was given a little liquid nourish-
ment.
When Abraham Ruef is brought to the
court room for resumption Of his third
bribery trial Ruefs attorneys may ask for
a continuance, but such motion will be
vigorously contested by the district attor-
ney's office, the three newly associated vol

How Haas Secured Pistol.
There has been no satisfactory explana-
ton CT the manner In which Morris Haas
procured possession of the Derringer With
which he shot himself in the county Jail
Chief OF Police Biggy and some Of his i'm
mediate .subordinates are content with the
declaration that the prisoner carried the
weapon into his cell concealed in his shoe,
Other members of the department and w
}. Butns, a special agent of the district at
torney's office, insist that this was impos-
sible and that the pistol was handed him
either by his wife upon the occasion of her
visit or by some other person.
Mrs. NJ. Kohn, who had known Haas in
timately for twenty-five years, has in
formed the police that Haas acquainted
her with his determination to shoot Heney
some time ago and that when he reiterated
his intention a few days ago she threatened
to have him arrested. She identified the
Derringer as one of three pistols she had
known Haas to possess. Mrs. Haas. when
she visited the county JAIL was accom-
panied by Mrs. Kohn. who. however, was
not permitted to approach the prisoner
closely. She stated that she did not inform
anyone of Haas threats because she feared
the anger OF her husband
