final summing up for the proseeu-
ton, said:
Yesterdays victory means more
to San Francisco than a score OF tri'
umphs in warfare. We have dis
proved that our law is sham and
our administration OF justice a tray-
esty. Ruefs race is run. His con-
yietion sounds the death knell OF his
system and that OF his accomplices
public service corporations-the
system by which political bos ssells
system by which a political boss sells
privileges and rights which belong
20 all the people. Henceforth Ruefs
personality will be eliminated from
this city"
District Attorney Langdon said;
"Te public is familiar with the ey-
idence presented by the people in the
Ruef case. From that evidence II
was apparent that no honest jury
could do other than find verdict OF
guilty. The conviction of Ruef is
hut a forerunner of other convic-
tlons. The graft prosecutions will
20 on until Il is demonstrated that
san Francisco is capable OF enforo-
ing its laws and that courts and
iuries are not a mockery and sham
The arch criminal of San Francisco
is now on his way TO the penitent-
larry"
Detective William ]. Burns said:
The verdict rendered by the
ury IN the Ruef case is a vindica-
lion of the people OF San Francisco
the law-ab.ding people Of the city.
The conviction clearly demonstrated
that once public opinion is aroused
the people can be depended upon.
This verdict shows that right-minded /
honest men cannot fail 10 discern /
the guilt OF Abe Ruef. The bowling /
Dro-g-aft press, that has been
block % the prosecution
