W0RDY BATTLE WITH WITNESS
STORMY DAY IN TRIAL OF GAL HOUN PASSES WITH JURY
 BOX UNVEILED.

SAN FRANCISCO, February l6.-- Patrick Calhoun s trial upon indict- ment for bribery, now entering upon its fifth week, has produced no session approaching in interest the proceedings of today, when the panel of twelve jurors, completed after days weari- some effect, was broken up by the dis charge of one juror, and when Assistant District Attorney Heney, resenting the demeanor of witness on the stand, declared he had fixed line over which no living man in the future could step.
 Two alleged cases of jury tampering were made public during the afternoon, and while there was no substantiation in either case before adjournment, it is likely the proceedings tomorrow will be devoted to the examination of wit nesses summoned in connection with these and other affairs of the same character.
 Sam Leakc, former newspaper man and politician, who was summoned to | the stand because of the allegation that he had endeavored to purchase an ital stock has been increased to. $33,0 900. a brother of one of the jurors, precip. | itated the most sensational incident of the day.
 | Leake had warned Heney that he could make certain revelations concern ing the prosecutors s past. Leake, who had been questioned as to visits to a saloon, said:
 ''I think it is very improper for you to refer to those things, Heney. l could tell of places I saw you"
 ''I want you to stop right now, !" interrupted Heney. 1T don't propose you shall make any more threats. You are here to answer questions.
 "Thcre is one conversation you don't dare to refer to, retorted the witness. "There was once when you went up the back way into the Call of flee and tried to go back on Phelan and Spreckels. !"
 "That's all there will be of that, v said Heney at this juneture. "I took this sort of thing from Henry Ach for months, until it led to an attempt at assassination, and aftor this l want it understood that I won' t take it from any man living. If am going to be shot again, I'll be shot in front, not from behind nor from the side. IT Lewis Byington, of the defense. arose at this point, saying:
 "We wish to except the remarks of the district attorney and we request thap the court would instruct the jury to take no notice of these passages. We believe the district attorney should recognize the limits of his duty in the examination of witnesses.
 1t was at this point that Heney, aris. ing to his feet with some difficulty. pitched his voice so that it penetrated beyond the confines of the courtroom. and said:
 This district attorney is doing his duty as such, but before l am dis | trict attorney I am an American citi- zen, and in that capacity I want to say that right here and now l draw the line over which no living man may step. For months I took all the vilifi cation that could be heaped on nie mere ly because l dared to do my duty, which some one had to do. But I am through with it now and want this thoroughly understood. v
 It was shortly after this that the I day s session ended, as the prosecution was attempting to present additional testimony regarding Juror Walter Rock and after challenge for cause had been interposed as the basis for supplement- ary proceedings.
