HENEY BEGINS

l.. Ford, sometimes called General,
on this stand, and he could tell, for
he was the man who paid Abe Ruef.
Tiery l.. Ford saw Ford's hands pay
Ruef the money. Ford was the sole
witness to that payment of money to
Ruef. or course, they defy us-of
course they defy us. Why shouldn't
they, when they know, as we know,
that Tiery l.. Ford ia the only man
who can testify that he saw the
bribe paid?
II partake OF the insults offered
10 these ladies of the League OF Jus
tice by A. A. Moore. partake OF
them, and so should every man who
wants 10 see justice done.~ II he does
not. he is unfit TO be an American
citizen.
This is not the first republic the
world has ever known. Other repub-
lies have fallen, every one In history
has fallen. and this one will fall just
as sure as It's form OF government
Is attacked by people in II and its
laws destroyed by wealth. greed and
corruption. IL the corruption inside
a republic that destroys, not the at
tack from the outside"
Here Heney made his remarks
about George Washington, and his
own political ambitions. Continuing
along that line, he said
II do not want 20 be district at
torney. / didn't want TO make the
sacrifice | gained the ambition af-
ter / heard Helms tale, and got an
Insight into the terrible crimes that
have been committed to keep this
defendant out of the penitentiary.
Crimes OF iury-fixing, bribery and
tealing. And I'll fulfill that ambi-
tion, II God permits me to live.
They say Spreckels, Heney and
Phelan wanted TO gain political con-
troll, and that there would be a fight
over the United States senatorshlp.
They forgot that II takes two to
make a fight. There won't be any
fight over the United States senator,
ship. Anybody can be United States
senator. II they want to-so far as /
am concerned. II we want political
power, why didn't We keep Il when
we had the big stick over the super
visors. Why didn't We get out and
turn over the government of the city
to DR.. Taylor and give him full pow
er to appoint his own board OF super
visors and his own commissioners
They can't show where DR.. Taylor
put a single man TO work for us. We
could have made Spreckels mayor,
We could have made James ID. Phe-
Ian mayor, and We wouldn't have
been far on, for he was the best may
or San Francisco ever had.
They talked about the $4,000
got for office expenses. Where was
the money coming from to pay all the
stenographers and clerks who pre-
pared indictments; to furnish type
writers supplies and the like. Fran
els j. Heney should have paid 1t. Ell?
Francis j. Heney wasn't sacrificing
enough when he sacrificed his busi-
ness. which was as good as any pos
sesged by those men (pointing to
Calhoun's lawyers). Heney not only
gave his time, but he should pay the
expenses incurred by the prosecution.
l wish that l had been able to do 1t.
Rudolph Spreckels would never had
paid dollar for anything.
Are you going to stand for the
abuse they have heaped on me? They
say have ambitions. Yes. l. have
ambitions. have an ambition to
conduct this case in such a manner
that every young man in San Fran
cisco and in the state will arouse
himself and stand for the right"
Heney stopped speaking at 1890
and continued this afternoon. He
gives no intimation of how long he
will talk, but viii probably keep up
until tomorrow.
