SCORES HUNDRED PER CENT
Prosecutions Objections to Affi-
davits All Sustained

Assistant District Attorney O'Gara
scored 100 per cent yesterday in his
legal attack on the affidavit fled Tues
day night by Tirey L. Ford in his at
tempt to delay trial by disqualifying
Judge Lawlor. Out of % objections made
by the district attorneys Office to Ford s
document So were sustained. That left
the original Ford affidavit of S5 pages
a badly dismantled craft in which to
negotiate his tardy attempt to sail out
OF Lawlor's jurisdiction.
Nearly four hours were devoted to
the razing of the Ford affidavit, and
during that period the array of United
Railroads officials and counsel grad
ually dwindled away, until at the end
there were only left Louis F. Byington
and w. H. Orrick.
Patrick Calhoun and Tirey L. Ford
were arraigned early in the afternoon
on the charges contained in the three
indictments returned last week by the
Mcfarland grand jury. In reciting the
list of attorneys who would be Of rec
ord in these cases A A. Moore men
toned Garrett McEnerney, Stanley
Moore, Byington and Alexander King,
but neglected to include Earl Rogers of
Los Angeles, who took an important
part in Ford's previous trials.
The time for pleading on the indict-
ments was set for Friday afternoon at
4 o'clock Abe Ruef, much against his
wishes, was also arraigned yesterday
afternoon on the three latest indict-
ments and was ordered into court for
Friday afternoon OGara said in re-
sponse TO the inquiries OF the defend
ants. that no stenographic report was
taken of the evidence given before the
grand jury
O'Gara's attack on Ford's. affldavit
was made on the ground that 1t was
based largely on information and be-
lief. Byington tried to defend the
document, but without avail. The court
held that information and belief state
ments were not permissible, usually,
when direct knowledge was available.
There was little argument over the
particular points which were stricken
out on O'Gara's motion.
This morning at 10 o'clock the dis
cussion of the admissibility of Ruef,
Nieto and Kaplan's aff1davits, which
were attached to Ford's, will be con-
sidered.

answer would not reveal much.
When it was suggested TO Robertson
that if he would return to San Fran

quilted. he said:
1t would be a toss up"
He believed, however. that Brown,
Bartnett and Treadwen were up

placed too much reliance in the out

other words, Brown was too optimistic.

Dooling promptly denied the motion to
disqualify him.
The final move of Ruefs attorneys
was to attempt to muddle the case by
a motion similar to that which has
caused so many weeks of delay in the
Ruef trolley case before Judge Law
lor. In spite of the fact that Ruefs
plea in the Parkside cases was not en-
tered until January 80 of this year.
after the immunity contract had been
annulled, Murphy calmly moved to have
the plea set aside on the ground that
Ruef had waived his rights on the
strength of an understanding with the
prosecution and in reliance on the i'm
munity contract. Murphy said that
Ruef had merely acted in a perfunctory
manner in the case and that he should
be allowed to renew a demurrer and
preliminary motions which he waived
at that time.
