IMPOSSIBLE TO CONVICT
MoNEYED MAN OF CRIME
Oakland ENQUIRER

The result of the Calhoun trial in San
Francisco will do much to strengthen
the belief in the minds of many that
it lis impossible to convict of crime
rich man who is willing to spend un-
limited sums of money in his defense.
After clamoring for months for
speedy trial and an opportunity to clear
himself from the charges made against
him Mr.. Calhoun did not attempt to do
the one thing that would have shown
him to have been unjustly charged with
the particular crime>for which he was
being tried viz, show that a legitimate
and proper use was made of the
100000 which was taken from the San
Francisco mint on his order by TREY
L. Ford and which it is charged was
used to bribe the members of the board
of supervisors in the overhead trolley
franchise matter.
If Mr.. Calhoun was the innocent man
he claims to be would he not have done
this instead of relying on the efforts
of an army of attorneys and gun fight
ers to prevent by every technieality
known to The law his conviction by
jury?
