| IHENEY SPARRING
AGAINST. ADMISSION
OF TESTIMONY

San Francisco, April 23.-To OBJ
tain from ex-Supervisor James l..
Gallagher a detailed history of the
immunity contract between the bood-
ling supervisors and the graft prose-
cution was the apparent object of the
defense in today's session of the Call
houn trial.
Under the guidance OF A. A. Moore
OF the defense, the former chairman
OF the supervisOrial board recited the
history of the negotiations between
the prosecution and the bOodlers.
The evident attempt of Moore to
lead the jury to believe that Gala
CHER endeavored to reach an immuni-
ty understand ng with the proseol-
tion, upon hearing of the immunity
Supervisor Boxton had been prom
ICED, was frustrated by Heney's OBJ
iections.
Despite Moores' statement that
such an admission on the part of
the witness would have important
bearing on the case. Judge Lawlor
sustained Heney's objection, and the
defense abandoned the attempt.
In order to prove that the testi-
mony given by Gallagher in the pres
ent trlal was at var ance WIN MS al
fidayit. made shortly after the ex-
posure OF the former supervisors,
Moore requested permission to in
troduce as evidence the document
containing the aifidavits of the for
mer board
Moore declared that in these affl-
davits the supervisors stated that
they had done no wrong. and that
they were not guilty OF crimes against
the people. His object in introduc-
ing this, ne said, was TO contrast the
aiIdavit OF Gallagher with his testl-
mony In the present trial that he and
other members of the board of super
yisors had acceted bribes. The tech
nlcal objections offered by the prose-
cution were overruled by the court
anu the document introduced.
