IBy Morning journal ADeciai l.ensed Nirel
san Francisco. June lb--Analysis of
testimony and reviews Of evidence
came to an end today when A. A.
Moore. senior counsel for Patrick CAL
houn inaugurated the kter half OF
the argument upu,s the enarge of bri-
berry against the fNesident Of tpe Ulf-
ted railroads. Alexander King. of
Atlanta, Ga. had devoted nearly five
hours to Il dspassionate survey Of the
case from the standpoint of the de-
fendant ana concluded in time to give
Mr. Moore two hours for his introduce
ton.
Standing squarely in front of Assis-
tant District Attorneys Francis j Hen
ey ana John O'Gara. Mr.. Moore turn
ed to look at them when his remarks,
tinged with the extreme Of sarcasm
and bitterness, were FIRST directed to
the payment Of the chief prosecutors
office expenses by Rudolph Spreckels
and then the extracts from Mr.. O'Gar-
ra's address of yesterday.
Seats IN the court room were at a
premium and as the number Of spec
tators increased through favor or re-
laxed vigilance on the part Of the po-
lice guard at the doors. the atmosphere
within grew dense and Sitting.
Mr. Moore opened with a declara-
tion that the defendant had answered
ready on forty occasions following the
return Of seven indictments against
him in 1907 and that he had once been
refused a hearing because, as he said,
"the hired prosecutor who works
for fame or glory or money or all,
had chosen to let James l.. Gallagher,
his chief witness leave the state"
After review of the jury system,
Mr.. Moore said: "Thls defendant
stands bold. confident and upright,
willing to take his rights and anxious
to have them.
Il was sorry to note in Mr. O'Gara' 81
discourse the tendency Of the prosecu-
tion to claim that the rich are OPP

stolen and bribery committed and that

fchdant It was unworthy ana the
poorest jockcying. and when he turn

crowd is fit to rub the shoes of Fran
els j Heney,' it made my gorge rise

have said. The poorest boot black IN
San Francisco is well qualified to rub
Mr. Heney's shoes or his head, If occa-
sion should arise.

fill the avenues of this city with gum
shoemen and piston men and hatchet-
