Former Chief of Police Is Refused
More Than One Weeks Contlnu-
ance In Indictment on
Bribery Charge

A request for one months postpone
ment in the trial of Thomas H. Broad
head, indicted by the last grand jury
on a charge of bribery, was made to
Judge Davis of the criminal court yes
terday by Attorney H. II. Appel, who
stated that the former police chief S
crops on his Corcoran ranch would Sut-
fer if he was compelled to go on trial
on the date originally set, July IL.
Judge Davis offered to grant week
continuance, further delay, he said,
being impossible owing to the crowded
condition of the calendar.
Attorney Appel declined to accept
the offer and the trial is expected to
proceed at the time set.
That the trial will be long one is
indicated by the number of witnesses
already subpoenaed and the fact of the
publicity given to the affair, a circum-
stance which will make it difficult to
select a jury.
The witnesses for the prosecution
will it is understood, number almost
a score, while Attorney Appel stated
Yesterday he had caused subpoenaes to
be issued for five times that number
who will testify in Broadhead's behalf.
