The prosecution. therefore, ran 4
blum" on the community and the
courts. The community was ablaze
with righteous indignation over the
yillainous proc edings which had GER
tanly occurred. Everybody recog-
nized-and II was true--that both
Ruef and Schmltz ought to go TO
states prison, and everybody was In
a mood to put them there II By any
color Of law they could thus get their
deserts. The people cannot be
blamed. for II is proved that Ruef
took the money and nobody doubts
that he divided It with schmltz, and
one must imagine, with others.
Consequently the prosecution took
up the theory of extortion and con-
nected Schmitz with II by certain cir
cumstantial evidence. Ruef was not
put on the stand. The testimony was
that the restaurant men sought Ruet
and that rascal had apparently been
smart enough TO avoid any express
sion whatever that had the appear
ance of a threat. He was bribed,
but he did not extort. The con-
spiracy OF Ruef. sehmitz and the po-
lice commissioners, II sufficiently
proved. would make out an extortion
case. and in the opinion OF the jury
that was made out. But here comes
the dIficulty--lt is not unlawful but
merltorlous, TO Withhold liquor IL

Schmitz was discharged. II Is a fine

might disagree. but legal opinion
generally seems TO hold the point
good. II was that, apparently. which
was in Ruef's mind when he pleaded
guilty 10 extortion while insisting
that he was not guilty The whole
