blood on it, thought Hoffer had cut his
throat, and there was a wild scramble

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16.-Al-
though nearly three days have elapsed
since Francis J. Heney was shot down
in the courtroom by Morris Haas, who
committed suicide in his cell at the coun-
ty Jail Saturday night, the seven ply
sicians in attendance upon the prosecutor
for the bribery cases agreed today that
the long and anxious interval has de-
veloped not a single unfavorable symp-
tom resultant from the bullet wound in
his head
There is neither fever or indication of
dread blood poisoning; the patient has
shown no unexpected loss Of strength
aud between periods of long and refresh

was given small portion of liquid nOur-

eys vocal powers will be unimpaired by
the course of the bullet now lodged in
the muscles of his throat and this, in
view of the demands upon his voice by
the prosecution in which he is engaged,
will be welcome news to the assistant
district attorney when it has been more
definitely ascertained.

roads overhead trolley franchise
There has been no satisfactory expla-
nation of the manner in which Morris
Haas procured possession of the der
ringer with which he shot himself in the
county Jail. Chief of Police Buggy and
some of his immediate subOrdinates are
content With the declaration that the
prisoner carried the weapon into his cell
concealed in his shoe. Other members of
the department and w. J. Burns, a spe-
cial agent of the district attorneys Office
insists that this was impossible and that
the pistol was handed him, either by his
wife upon the occasion of her visit, or by
some other person.
Planned Crime Long Ago
Mrs. NJ. Kohn, who had known Haas
intimately for twenty-five years, has in
formed the police that Haas acquainted
her with his determination to shoot He
ney some time ago, and that when he
reiterated his intention a few days ago,
she threatened to have him arrested. She
identified the derringer as one of three
pistols she had known Haas to possess.
Mrs. Haas, when she visited the county
Jail, was accompanied by Mrs. kOhn,
who, however, was not permitted to APP
proach the prisoner closely. She stated
that she did not inform any one of Haas
threat because she feared the anger of
her husband.
Bullet Is Removed.
The bullet fired by Morris Haas at Mr.
Heney was removed today from the
muscles of the lower left maxiIlary,
where it was located by means of the
X-ray. Mr.. Heney bore the operation
well and is reported to be resting quiet
ly and showing no i'll effects.
