charged with completely in the briberies.
Mr.. Calhoun, together with Abraham
Ruef and three subordinate officials of
the United Railroads, was indicted on
fourteen counts, three of which were
returned by a later grand jury.
Graft Is Charged
1t was charged that the corporation
had secured from the supervisors May
q, 1906, permit authorizing the sub
stitution of the overhead trolley Sys-
tenn for the cable lines partially de-
stroyed by the earthquake and fire of
April 49, Calhoun and the other de-
PENDANTS were accused of having paid
Ruef, Schmitz and the supervisors $780,
900 for their services in securing the
permit for the company, and each in
dictment was based upon the money
received by one of the supervisors.
Tirey L. Ford, general counsel for the
United Railroads, was one of the Off
cials implicated by the indictments, and
during a period of eight months was
tried three times.
In the first instance disagreement
resulted, and in two subsequent trials
Ford was acquitted.
Ruef's trial upon one of the so-called
trolley indictments was commenced on
August 27, 1908. There was an inter-
ruption of several days subsequent TO
November l3, when Francis j. Heney
was shot down in the courtroom by an
ex-convict, who subsequently COM
mitted suicide in the county Jail, and
three volunteer prosecutors took up the
case, which ended December 10, 1908
when a Jury returned a verdict of guilt.
December 20 Ruef was sentenced TO
fourteen years in San Quentin peniten-
tiary and since then has been confined
in the county Jail, awaiting action on
an appeal to a higher court.
The prosecution, during. the several
trolley trials, has attempted to prove
that Calhoun on the day following the
final passage of the permit, sent from
New York to the mint in this city $780,
600 which he previously authorized the
mint officials to pay to TREY L. Ford
The money, as is admitted, was with
drawn In three installments by Ford
who presented orders signed by Cal
houn
1t was alleged by the prosecution
that within few days after each OF
Los Angeles herald., 1909-06-20

Ford's visits to the mint he received q
call from Ruef. Following this the
ory James l.. Gallagher chairman Of
the supervisors, testified that Ruef had
paid him over $40 900 in July and an
equal amount in the following month.
Gallagher declared that he had re-
tanned $4,000 for himself, had paid $10,-
900 to Andrew M. Wilson, one of his
lieutenants, and had given $4,000 to each
of the other supervisors. 1t was af-
firmed by the prosecution that Ruef
and Schmitz divided the balance of the
fund, amounting to about $115,000
The specific indictment upon which
Calhoun was tried was the offer of a
bribe of $4,000 to Supervisor Fred p.
Nicholas to influence his action upon
the trolley permit. Nicholas, called as
the first witness, admitted acceptance
of the money for that purpose.
Since the trial commenced great
number of new issues, more or less
important, have been presented for the
jury's consideration
In March, when the trial was nearly
two months old, warrants were issued
for the arrest of several men charged
with stealing documents from the Of
fee of William j. Burns, special agent
of the district attorneys office.
Gave Private Reports
The list of defendants, headed by M.
M. Abbott and Luther G. Brown, in
cluded Rex Hanlin, secretary to Burns,
and three other of Burns assistants,
who confessed that they had given
private reports, letters and kilograms
to John e. Helms and the agents OF
the United Railroads.
Saturday and Sunday, March 26 and
27, the offices of Abbott, Brown, Cal
houn and Mullally were raided by the
police upon a search warrant secured
by Burns, who professed to have in
formation that the men named were
in possession of his stolen papers.
safes and desks were forcibly opened
in the presence of protesting attorneys
and officials and documents to the
number of 1000 were seized and deliv-
cred into the custody of the police

fore the raiders had completed their

After visiting the park Detective
Browne called on Mrs Weeks Wright
at her home, 1915 Dacotah street.
II am 81 years old" she said to the
detective, "and 1 gave readings before
you were born, but l have never seen
any such action as this before. Why, l
gave a sitting for Abraham Lincoln.
Los Angeles has fallen on evil times
when we must be hauled into court for
practicing our belief. Young man, 1
fear for the future of this city"
Evidence to be presented by the de-
tectives will be directed to show that
the mediums gave private work for
which charges were made, but this was
denied by the mediums.
Accept Contributions
"The woman who obtained the evil
dence came to me- said Mr.. Norris,
"and asked me what we charged. I
told her that no charge was made, but
that we merely accepted entirely vol
untary contributions. She laid down
dollar and that was all that there was
to it,"
P. A. B. Kennedy, president of the
Semi-Tropic association, said that the
Spiritualists believed that the arrests
were inspired by prejudice against Spir-

ready been decided in the California
courts. All but one of the six arrested
are ordained by the Spiritualist church,
and this they are confident will be in
their favor.
The six persons arrested are all prom
inent In spritualistic work. John Slat-
er is noted as a medium in Europe as
well as in all parts of this country.
Prof. Norris, although young man,
has been engaged In the work twenty
three years. He came to Southern Call
ifornia from Washington, D. c. Mrs.
Weeks Wright is said to be the Oldest
living woman medium, both in age and
in years of service.
Mrs Nettie Howell is prominent
among Spiritualists for her business
ability as well as her religious work.
She manages the Semi-Tropic park and
also has the management of Burank
hall and Howell hall. At one time she
controlled practically all the meeting
halls in Los Angeles outside of the
theaters, and she has accumulated s75,-

ness woman.

TO GET GRAFT VERDICT

can only be conjectured, but it is es-
timated that it will exceed $4,000.
Patrick Calhoun was one of a score
of corporation officials indicted as an
outcome of the municipal upheaval OF
1907 when the administration domin-
ated by Mayor Eugene e. Schmitz ana
Abraham Ruef was overthroWn.
In November, 1905, Francis ]. Heney,
already we'll known as public prose-
cutor, charged in a public address that
Ruef and Schmitz were guilty of cor
ruption, and with w. ]. Burns, for
merly a government secret service
agent, undertook an investigation of
privileges awarded several public SER
vice corporations.
Ruef and Schmitz were indicted on
charges of extorting money from
French restaurant proprietors in No
Vember, 1906, after Ruef had failed in
an effort to seize the district attorneys S
office through his own appointment by
the board of supervisors.
Inquiry Conducted Secretly
The graft investigation, as it came to
be known, was conducted secretly for
several months following, but in the
early part of March, 1907, Burns. sue
ceeded in trapping Supervisors Thomas
T. Lonergan, Edward I. Walsh and
Charles F. BoXton in the act of accept
ing money from GOluen M. Roy, q
skating rink promoter who was acting
in the interests of the prosecution
Within week eighteen supervisors had
confessed their acceptance of money
from six different sources. 1t was SUBJ
sequently announced that the super
visors had been promised immunity for
their testimony against the men
charged with offering the bribes.
The Oliver jury, impaneled under the
direction of Mr.. Heney in October, 1906
heard the confessions of the supervisors
on March 10, 1907, and during period
of forty-eight hours returned over BOO
Indictments against various persons
