SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 10.-The
district court OF appeals handed down
decision setting aside the Judgment
In the case or ex-Mayor Eugene +.
Schmitz, convicted OF extortion in
the French restaurant case.
Abe Ruef also benefits by the rul-
ing Of the upper court, for, accord
ing 20 it's decision. he pleaded guilty
TO an act that was no offense against
the laws OF the state,
xyAccording TO the appellate Judge,
the compelling of French restaurants
TO pay fees" to Abe Ruef was not a
crime, even though Ruef divided the
fees" with the mayor.
After discussing the point, the court
reversed the judgment against
Schmitz on the ground that no acts
constituting a crime had been proved
against him. Abe Ruef, who pleaded
guilty to extorting money from the
French restaurants, is therefore equal
ly guiltless.
The decision wipes out the French
restaurant cases and pending charges
OF extortion against Schmitz and Ruef
must be dismissed.
Both are now entitled to release on
bail II they obtain the necessary
bondsmen, they can remain at liberty
until such time as a jury finds them
guilty on one OF the indictments
charging them with receiving brides
from corporations. Owing TO the num-
Der OF cases against them, the ball,
figured at $4,000 a case. would reach
an enormous figure.

vantage Of the decision for so days.
