MAYOR SCHM|Tz
WINS ONE POINT
California Supreme Court De-
cides Against Prosecutions
Application,
INDICTMENT WAS DEFECTIVE.
IL Failed to Aver That He Was Mayor
And That Rucf Was
Political Boss.

san Francisco, March e.---The SUI
preme court this afternoon, by unani-
nous vote, handed down decision
denying the application of the prose-
cution in the San Francisco bribery
graft cases for a rehearing, after n
decision by the district court Of APP
peals, in the case of former Mayor
Eugene Il. Schmit7. convicted of ex-
tcrtion in the French restaurant
cases. without dissenting vote
among the seven justices, the court
sustained the appellate court in Its
decision that the indictment upon
which Schmltz was convicted was de-
fective. in that it did not aver that
Schmitz was mayor. that Ruef. his
co-defendant, was n political bliss,
practically in control Of the city, that
as such they were In n position to
exercise power and undue influence
over the police commissioners. and
that it did not show that Schmitz re-
sorted to unlawful means in threaten
ing to have liquor licenses withheld.
STATEMENT OF SCHM1Tz.
"The decision demonstrates" said
ex-Mayor Schmitz, that the highest
court in the state believes what [
have always claimed, that I was re-
moved from office and railroaded to
prison."
'"rhe contention of the respondent
that the appeal was prematurely
taken" says the supreme court, has
no merit. The court Is unanimous in
tho opinion that the district court of
appeals was correct in its conclusion
that the indictment was insufficient,
in that 1t did not show that the in
jury to the property threatened by
the defendant was an unlawful in
jury"
This decision practically rullifies
Ruefs plea of guilty to the same
charge invalidates the remaining four
extortion indictments against the
former mayor end ruef. and will en-
able Schmitz to gain his liberty on
bail after eight months confinement
in the county jail.
Campbell, Metson and Drew, coun-
sci for Schmitz, announced tonight
that immediate steps would be taken
tomorrow morning for the former
mayors release, and expressed graft
flcation over the decision, declaring
that 1t showed that the highest court
in the state sustained the law, in spite
of public clamor and the denuncia-
tions and attacks of the press that
followed the decision of the appellate
court.
