FOLEY TELLS MEANS
USED TO FIX JURY
Transcript of Evidence Before
InquisitOrial Body Against
Capt. John j. West
Ruef Attorney Arraigned Before
Judge Cabaniss for At
tempted Bribery

Light was thrown on the jury fix
ing bureau maintained by Abe Ruef
yesterday through the testimony before
the grand jury upon which Captain
John J. West, an attorney employed by
Ruef. was indicted for corruptly in
fluencing John r. Foley TO go on the
jury and vote for the acquittaI Of
the boodler. West was arraigned in
Judge Cabaniss' court and the tran
script of testimony was handed to him
by the district attorney.
The actual offer of money was made
to Foley by Philip de Martini a saloon
keeper at Montgomery and Sacramento
streets, according to Foley's testimony.
On the afternoon of September . Foley
visited the saloon with a friend. De
Martini asked Foley to remain and
is alleged to have made the corrupt
offer
He said TO me If I would go on the
jury and qualify in Ruefs favor-those
are the words as near as / can recol-
leet-there was something in it." testi-
fed Foley. I said, How much?' Well,
probably 81, ,000-probably that at least,
maybe more. from $4,000 to $4,000, as
far as money was concerned, but he
consider this"
Foley testified that he saw De Mar
tint again a few days later, after he
had been excused from serving on the
jury. and said: For heavens sake
never approach me on any such propo-
sition on any consideration" Foley
said De Martini was one Of his best
friends, and that he testified against his
will.
Foleys testimony also implicated
George Turner, said TO be an insur-
ance man in the Merchants exchange
Foley said that between his first and
second conversations with De Martini
Turner said to him: why didn't you
go and qualify on that jury2"
De Martini testified that West came
to his saloon and said: You tell Foley
to stay on the jury" He added: 'I
said TO him. rs there anything in it?
and he lodged his head as much as
to say yes so I understand there
was something in It"
De Martini denied that he had told
Foley there was $4,000 or $4,000 in it.
He said that he mentioned no sum to
Foley.
West himself was the only other wit
ness. He denied having told De Mar
tint to advise Foley to get on the
Jury, and that there was something
in It" for him.

SUGGESTS GOOD
AUTOMOBILE TRIP
M. de Motto of Corning Says
New State Road Will Be
Ideal
Tells How Motorists May Visit
One of the Most Interesting
Spots in California
By K. z. PHonnedfeu

1ai uo Ahotlc oi COTHIHS, a most en-
thusiastic motorist of that place, has
written to The Call suggesting what
he claims to be one of the most inter-
esting motor trips out of San Fran
cisco. De Motto writes
1t has been announced lately that
the state engineer has decided upon the
route for the new state road from the
sacramento valley to the coast, and
that 1t is to be from Red Bluff to Eu-
reka. This will make possible one of
ne grandest circuits in the state. Up
he coast through the redwood forests
nu farms, then through the mountains
nd into the Sacramento valley and
down 1t on the finest auto roads in
the state Probably 500 miles. Why
not take this matter up under such a
style as the grand circuit?
The road over the mountains will
not be ready this year. but there is one
leg In the trip that needs work at that
end, and that is provision for cross
ing the bay from Vallejo Junction to
South Vallejo, and road from the
former place up the hills to the San
Pablo road. The Port Costa crossing
is impossible. 1 have tried it and al
ways advise friends not to go that way.

expensive for most people, so that it
It could be arranged for a crossing

THE COMMISSION CROOKS.

Bitter Root shippers of fruit and
produce know something of the wiles
and trickery of commission men
theirs has been a bitter experience
But even they have no realization
of the magnitude of the operations
by which the growers of the nation
are defrauded of the fruits of their
toll.
An Illuminating article anent this
subject entitled 'Robbing the Hand
that Feeds" appears in Everybody's
magazine for June. The author,
Forrest Crissey, spent seven months
in the great markets of the country
carrying on his investigation aud he
facts he presents have created a SEN
sation, Judging from the newspaper
comment already in evidence.
The author presents South Water
street, Chicago, the second produce
market in America, as the type of the
metropolitan market from which
millions of citizens draw their sup
plies of produce, fruit and truck.
He describes the many tricks and de
vices by which the commission men
rob the growers and declares tha,
such are common practices of the mar
kets; that these practices are part
ofthe daily and routine operations, the
methods of the many rather than the
few, the methods that are the estab-
llshed traditions of the street and
make its atmosphere tricks of the
trade to which the man who finds en-.
ployment must be "wise" if he would
hold his job" The author admits
that there are some honest commits.

methods of the commission men,

ONE PATHETIC CONTRIBUTION.

ONE PATHETIC CONTRIBUTION
One of the most appreciated contri-
buttons which the Miner hes received
for the Peyton Memorial Fund came a
short time ago from an inmate of the
Deer Lodge penitentiary.
The subscription was for SIS and was
acknowledged through the Miner, but
for obvious reasons, no special men,
ton was made at the time of the posi-
tion of the donor, because it seemed
probable he would not desire to have
his identity disclosed.
In the letter accompanying the sub
scription the writer said; Il trust you
will not consider this tainted money,
coming as it does from a convict"
The Miner certainly does not con-
slider any money tainted the gltt CT
which is dictated by kindly heart,
This subscriber went on to say that
he knew Mr.. Peyton personally, and
that in better days he had been a
member of the Montana State sports
mans association and also of a rod
and gun club in one of the towns of
the state.
The Miner does not know the
offense of which this man has been
convicted, but it does believe, what
ever it may have been, there are far
worse men than he is outside the
the prison walls.-Butte Miner.

The realization is forced, however,
that in dealing with commission men
the grower cannot be too wary. When
