better demand and from now on 1T is

PRISONERS MUST REMAIN
IN JAIL ANOTHER 80 DAYS

san Francisco. Jan, 9,-The news OF
the decision of the appellate court de-
eIaring the Indictment of eN-Mayor
Sehmitz for eXtortion invalid spread
rapidly over the city, causing con
sternation In some quarters and de-
light in others. The effect of the de
cisfon will not be the immediate re-
lease of Schmltz from the county jail
where he has been confined since his
conviction on the charges OF eNloftloh
in the French restaurant cases.
District Attorney Langdon said that
Schmitz and Ruef viii be prosecuted
on other indictments that are public
offenses
Schmttz and Ruef cannot take ad-
vantage of the decision for sixty days,
The prosecution has twenty days in
which to ask for a re-hearing. Then
the appellate court will have ten days
to consider the application When this
is done. the prosecution will go
through the same procedure in the
supreme court which will take the
same length of time Consequently
Schmitz and Ruef will still be kept
in the county jail for two months at
least.

Superior Judge Dunn, before whom
Schmitz was convicted, tonight said;
1T is to be regretted that the hear
ing of this appeal came up before a
court whose members have relatives
and intimate friends against whom in
dictments were returned by the grand
Jury that returned these true bills. In
view of these facts, ! do not believe
that the court was in the proper
frame of mind to give this matter an
impartial consideration and decide 1t
strictly upon its merits. ! am salts

dict. | will further say that the jury
which returned this verdict in ac-
cordance with the evidence and the
law. will be remembered with res
pect and honor in the community long
after the court which set aside the
verdict has been forgotten
Both Schmitz and Ruef when seen
at the Jail tonight refused to make
any statement or comment upon the
decision.
