GALLAGHER R[C|T[S
DYNAMITE OUTRAGE
Former. Supervisor Star Witt
ness for Prosecution in Trial
of Boodler Coffey
Carroll Cook Fails in Effort to
Show No Bribes We're Paid
for Trolley Franchises

James I. Gallagher, former super
visor, held the center of the stage at
yesterday s-session of the trial of NJ. w
Coffey In his role as star actor, CAL
lagher led Carroll Cook, leading coun-
sci for Coffey, merry chase. Cook in
advertently questioned Gallagher as
to whether he was paid witness fees
Tor teStifying in the various graft
cases. Gallagher declared that he was
not living across the bay and was not
entitled to such fees, but the question
asked by Cook opened the gate for a
recital of the dynamiting outrage, and
the witness dramatically narrated a
lew of the important incidents in con-
nectlon with the outrage, for which
the Claudianes brothers were indicted
The greater number of Cooks ques-
tlons We're objected to by the prosecu-
ton and the objections sustained upon
the ground that the answers concerned
In no way the offense specifically
charged in the indictment.
AT frequent intervals Judge Dunno
found it necessary to caution the at
torneys for the defense. Once Judge
Dunno declared that Gallagher was not
on trial, although the import of the
questions indicated that the witness
was being tried for some offense.
Resorting to questions of a personal
nature regarding the life of Gallagher
Cook found an opportunity to make 1t
unpleasant for the witness, but in the
end Gallagher turned the tables on his
interrogator.
DO you not reside in Oakland?"
asked Cook.
mo, have not lived there for some
time-not since an attempt upon my
life was made" With this reply the
gates were opened for complete re-
cital of the outrage. Gallagher
dramatically told of the attempted as
sassination. When Carroll Cook asked
Gallagher whether he was friendly
with Ruef, the witness said:
1T had come to my knowledge from
authoritive sources that Felix Pau
duveris, who bribed the Claudianes
brothers. was hired by Ruef. Until 1
learned these facts 1 could not conceive
Ruef doing dastardly trick like that"
At this juncture District Attorney
Langdon announced that his Office was
not yet through with the dynamiting
investigation and that he expected to
involve others in the case.
More than half of the afternoon was
taken up in argument between counsel
over q technical objection raised by
the defense to the introduction of GER
tain testimony made by Coffey at for
mer trials. During this procedure Car
roll Cook stated, in effect that Heney
has induced Coffey to lie before the
grand jury. To this statement Assist
ant District Attorney Cook objected
clared in emphatic language that the
defendant had deliberately lied when
he denied having received bribes, after
he made his confession in the Glad
stone apartment house and was grant
ed immunity.

FATHER OF PUBLIC
SCHOOLS IS GONE
James Denman, the Educator
and RefOrmer, Dies of
Old Age

James Denman, often referred to as
the father of san Francisco's public
schools. died yesterday in his home at
3S0S Clay street of old age. Born in
New York, April IA. 1929, he received
his education in that state. being grad
uated from the state normal school in
1S49. He came to California via the
isthmus in 1851 and Immediately or
ganized the first free school in San
Francisco under an act OF the legis-
lature OF that year. The school was
subsequently, named for him.
For many years James Denman was
superintendent of schools. and under
his administration the boys and girls
high school, the Valencia, Hayes valley,
Clement and Lincoln grammar schools
and the Columbia and Eighth street
schools were organized. 1t was while
he was superintendent Of schools that
he defeated the attempt OF squatters
TO take from zhe school board the Lin
coin school lot at Market and Fifth
streets, next TO the Emporium, thus
saving the city more than a million
dollars. The buildings which were
elected on the land were destroyed at
Denman's direction.
In 1889 he retired from the school
department. His policy in the sohoolS
room was TO have a limited number OF
courses taught thoroughly. and in
subordinating the interest of teachers,
contractors. politicians and schoolbook
men to those of the pupil. After his
retirement from the school department
he served on the board of supervisors
and took an active part in the civic
movement which began with the wal
lace grand jury and led to the adoption
OF the charter. AS a member of the
Wallace grand jury he voted for the
Indictment Of Boss Buckley and took
part in the examination of Senator
Stanford as 10 the alleged briberies

Deuman was a member of the Pacific
Union, Commonwealth and Unitarian
clubs and was one of the original men,
