did you say 1t read wv c. Henry?
Heney-No, said A. A. Moore said
wv. c. Heney"-yes.
Stanley Moore-It does not read that
way on our copy of the transcript
Heney-I don't know what the copy
Of the transcript shows, but know the
report shows w. C. Henry, and the wit
ness testified that w. C. Henry was
Henry C. WILDER; it takes off a little
bit of the curse of it IL it does appear
in there as w. G. Heney In the tran
script, but it does not take off much,
because Raymond Burns testified in
regard to it, and there could not be
any other name he was testifying about
but that one.
In February. 1907, when the trapping
Of the supervisors took place. let us
see what was occurring. February 8
and February 9, or February 10, in the
skating rink matter, Roy was paying
that money out. and Burns and Reeves
and Scales were In the other room.
! Stanley Moore don't want to inter-.
rupt. but it is W. C. Heney here on the
original report turned In by Spreckels.
Heney-Yes. it is. But still that
does not take the curse off 1t, because
it was as to that, that particular name,
that Raymond Burns testified.
HENEY REsENTs INTERRUPTION
In February, and 1 hope 1 won't be
interrupted any more. in view of the
fact l only have an hour and half at
my disposal, when the matter of the
trapping of the supervisors was taking
place out there, Abraham Ruef was be-
ing pressed to trial in the extortion
case. Now. what happened and let
us see'how 1t was that Handlon got UP
this fake story for Scott, which he un-
doubleday got up, because II he didn't
get 1t up. Handlon would have taken
the witness stand and contradicted II.
Handlon has been on this witness stand;
there is no reason on Gods earth why
he should not have been put back by
them il he could contradict it, and the
very fact he has not contradicted It is
absolute proof that Handlon got the
story up, that fake story which was in
tended TO be used, only that Scott would
not become perjurer for hire.
Now, when that matter of that trap
ping was taking place. let us see how it
got out, and how Handlon got the
story. Wilson tells you that at the
of Ruef, he went down and was sitting
on the lid, and the lid was getting
pretty hot down there in February at
the time Ruef was being crowded TO
trial. and his case was being set for
March 5. The lid was getting pretty
hot and when he was down there he
found out that that skating rink mat
ter had been traced to somebody. What
did he do? He told Gallagher, and
Gallagher took Lonergan up to Ruef.
What did Ruef say to Lonergan when
they got him up there? We haven't
been able to produce that to you, but
you can naturally infer what he woul6
say TO him. Why as a matter OF
course, he would warn him. and didn't
he warn him. Didn't Boxton say that
Gallagher came to him and told him
(BoXton) that he had been trapped by
Roy, and didn't Boxton say, No
don't believe Roy is that kind of a
man." and would not believe that there
was a trap. and Boxton didn't believe
it, because when Roy went to him and
asked him to introduce the skating rink
ordinance March 4, or rather that fake
oil ordinance March 4. he introduced
1t for him the day before Ruef was
to go to trial How, then, did Handlon
get the story in February that Cor
whenever he got it) before the super
visors had already confessed March 16?
How did the Chronicle get the story
of the trapping March IT? Why, Will
son testified that about a month befor.
the supervisors had gone over to the
prosecution, which was March is, that
they went over. and about a month
before that would be February Is, that
he was down there sitting on the lid:
and he had discovered this thing; and
that Gallagher took Lonergan up to
Ruef; and that February II the .Chron-
icie had a story that supervisors are
trapped. All. who gave 1t to the
Chronicle to be published. and why?
Did Burns. or the prosecution, after all
the trouble they went to in order to
consummate that trapping, give il to
the newspapers and spoil their game of
getting majority of the supervisors
trapped if possible? No. Who gave 1t
