.ACH THOUGHT TO
HAVE LEFT RUFF
Believed to Have Withdrawn
From Grafter's Defense
Since Conviction
Ex=Boss Secures Delay Until.
Day Before Christmas
for Sentence

Abe Ruef, through Attorney Thomas
B. Dozier, yesterday. pleaded for and
secured another brief respite before
judgment is pronounced against him
by Judge LawIor.. The delay granted
was not exactly what Ruef anticipated
however. for instead of putting the
case over. until after the first OF the
year. Judge Lawlor- consented only to
. continuance until Thursday, and 1t
seems probable now that Ruef will
have penitentiary sentence handed TO
him as Christmas present on that
day.
Henry Ach did not appear in court
yesterday, and DozieR practically veri-
ned the report that Ach has separated
from Ruef permanently. He refused
to admit it when asked the direct ques-
ltion, tbuts ia his statement to the court
IN support of his request for delay he
said that he had been left alone in
handling Ruef's affairs Since the con-
lNIction and that he had been unable
to accomplish all he intended to do for
his. client in the time that had elapsed
since Ruefs fate was decided by a Jury
He attributed Ach's withdrawal TO the
condition of his. health and said that
Ach was preparing TO leave the city
for several weeks and had been unable
to give him any assistance in prepar-
ing motions in Ruef's behalf.
Assistant District Attorney OGara
objected to Dozier's proposal that the
case be put over until January 2, and
Judge Lawlor said he believed such a
lapse Of time was unnecessary to the
preparation and presentation of such
motions as the defense would be priv
iieged 10 make before Judgment was
given. He pointed out that the only
motions possible prior to Judgment are
for new trial and for arrest of judg-
ment.
Dozier asserted that he wished to
make these motions and to support
them with an evidentiary showing.
consisting partially of affldavits, which
he had been unable to secure Judge
Lawlor finally consented to the con-
tinuance, but instead of granting the
time asked for, limited the time for the
showing until Thursday morning at 10
o'clock.

When the Western Pacific begins
running it's trains" said ansofficial of
the Gould lines, "it is hoped that the
express service will be a trif1e better
than that which is now furnished from
Oroville to this city.
we had an amusing accident at Oro-
vile, at least it is amusing from one
point of view. We were in need of
some important papers from Oroville,
and wired to our agent up~there to
send them down by express.
Our agent took them late at night
to the express office, and, as all trains
had left, he put them in the safe.
Next morning he could not open the
safe and wired to the head Office in
San Francisco to send an expert safe
cracker to Oroville to open it,. That
was on December 5.
"The safe cracker arrived at Oro-
vile the same day, tried to pick the
lock, then wired to the head Office that
the only way to get at the money and
papers was to blow open the safe with
dynamite.
He was then ordered to place the
safe on freightcar and send. 1T to the
Oakland machine shops. The safe was
opened Friday, and we were exactly
13 days waiting for the papers.
"Oh no, nothing Of evil omen hap
pened, though we had to wait for 13
days. 1t only goes to show that they

too strong, and it is. not always safe
