SULLIVAN ATTACKS
DOzI[R'S STANDING
Attorney for Prosecution Refers
to Personal Reputation of
Ruef's Lawyer
Jurors in Case Will Be Served
With Thanksgiving Dinner
at the st. Francis

The denunciation of his personal re-
putation that Thomas B. Dozier of
Ruef's counsel has been bidding for
since the first day of his connection
with the trial of the former boss came
al. the close of the court session yes
terday afternoon. The rebuke was ad-
ministered by Matthew /. Sullivan and
of his contempt for Dozier and Dozier's
methods
Dozier brought the storm of denun-
citation down on his own head by his
repeated charges of misconduct on the
part of the attorneys for the people
and by final accusation that Sullivan
was deliberately attempting to coaeh
the witness in the answers to be given
by the form in which he put questions
to him. Judge Lawlor was aroused by
the sneering statement of Dozier and
reprimanded him even before sullivan
could respond. He told Dozier natly
that such imputation of motives would
not be tolerated in his court Iheh
Sullivan addressed the court
REFERS TO CHARACTER
IF I belonged to the same class or
attorneys as the gentleman VINO ac
cuses me so persistently of misconduct
I might sit quietly and not answer the
insult" he dclared. However, wiz
not stand in this court or in any otlel
court and have a charge of that char-
acter made against me by man OF MS
standing and reputation In MS proAeS
sion.'' -,
There was bitter infection in Sulh-
vans voice that carried even deeper
meaning than the words themselves
and before seating himself he nuns
back the charge that Dozier had mace
and openly questioned the latter
ability as an attorney. DozleI an
swered by assigning Sullivans declar a
tion as misconduct, and made ahO'ne'
personal retort- 80,
in assuming to characterize me, ne De
clared loftily. Il consider myseh 80
far above his ilk that his remarks TAR
from he like water from uueA ,
back -.
.Yes-Shasta water" suggested Suih-
van. You ought to go back 10 SHASTA
where your reputation is known
The DISCRIMINATION of former su-
pervisor John j. Furey was completed
at noon and his redirect examination
came to an end soon after the resump-
ton of court in the afternoon. he
was followed on the stand BY former
Supervisor and Railroad Commissioner
Andrew NJ Wilson. whose direct exam
nation was still in progress when ad-
journment was taken last night VII
son told of the various caucuses held Dy
Ruef and the boodIing supervisors prior
to their installation in Office and OF the
attempt made by Ruef to thwart the
Hetch Hetchy water project proposed
by the former board. Ruef attended all
caucuses as counselor and adviser OF
the board, he said, and no ordinance
or measure was ever considered at a,
meeting until it's fate had been deter
mined in the caucus.
The quarrel that disrupted proceed
ings at the close of the session was
brought about by violent objections on
the part of Ruef's attorneys to secure
the substance of conversations between
Ruef, Gallagher and Wilson at the st.
Francis hotel while Ruef was there un-
der custody of elisor. Sullivan an
nounced that the purpose OF the inquiry
was to show that certain open admis-
sions had been made by Ruef and that
by his silence he had admitted other
charges.
Adjournment was taken until 9
o'clock tomorrow morning. A special
Thanksgiving dinner has been arranged
for the jurors at the St Francis hotel,
but none of them will be allowed to
receive calls from any members of
their families.
