LANE HOSPITAL, San Francisco,
Cal. Nov. 14.-Francis ]. Heney, who
was shot down by Morris Haas, an
ex-convict, in the Ruef trial late yes
terday, is resting quietly after good
night. The surgeons are hopeful for
his recovery more than they were at
midnight
Heney is in full possession Of his
faculties. The report that he will
lose his voice is denied. The sur
geons held a consultation this morn
ing over the removal of the bullet
which was under the right jaw 1t
passed downward from behind his
right ear. A bulletin issued at .
O'Clock this morning, by DR.. Edwin
S. Bunnell, says Heney will recover if
complications do not follow. The bull
let did not touch the brain.
Heney's Condition Good
A bulletin issued by Dr. H c. Mof-
fit today read:
"Heney passed a comfortable night
and his condition this morning is very
favorable. Drs. Terry, Bunnell and
myself are about to take an X-ray
plate following which we will hold a
consultation with Doctors Stillman
and Huntington to determine what
further action is necessary. In case
an operation is necessary it will be
performed by Terry. Bunnell, Hunting
ton Stillman and myself
Heney Improves.
DR. Bunnell has issued this state
ment:
"Heney's condition is improved and
his pulse is stronger. The probabili-
ties are that the patient will rest
from now on. He Will
not lose his voice. The wound is
the pOsterior nerve, but does
not touch the brain"
Mass Meeting Tonight.
After immense crowds watched the
bulletin boards all night, sentiment has
settled down into sullenness that the
police thinks BODIES evil and strong
men are urging moderation. Every
effort will be made to prevent a. state
of anarchy, which would follow any
overt act.
After an all-night session the Citi
Zens' League of Justice today issued
an appeal for a mass meeting tonight
to decide on the plan of action re-
garding the further prosecution of the
graft cases. The appeal says:
I'VE appeal to the calm reason Of
citizens to preserve order and proceed
only by process of law. Look not for
but for swift justice
through the courts. The prosecution
will proceed. We are assured the Ruef
trial will proceed Monday
The police are taking every precau-
ton to prevent violence at tOnights
All Citizens Invited.
Every citizen is invited to attend the
meeting The league was organized
when tn prosecutors announced the
court room at the graft trials was
daily filled with thugs alleged by them
to be hired by higher ups" Police
Chief Biggey issued this statement to-
day:
IT do not look for mob violence here;
but 1 am taking every precaution TO
prevent any possible ruction and ]
think the citizens will help US. Ruef
