SAN FRANCISCO, June IT.
Comparing himself to George
Washington, Francis ]. Heney de-
clared today that the people of
San Francisco would Justify his
political ambitions and vindicate
him of charges which have been
hurled at him by enemies by elect
ing him district attorney of San
Francisco.
Heney's declaration was made
in the midst of his closing argu-
ments in the trial Of Patrick Cal
haun, president of the United
Railroads, who is accused of BIRTH
Iery.
George Washington was accus-
ed of being ambitious, declared
Heney.
They asserted that he wanted
to make himself king, but the peo-
pie of the United States vindicat-
ed him by electing him to the
presidency. as the people of San
Francisco will vindicate me by
placing me in the Office of dis
trict attorney"
Concluding his argument in de-
Tense OF Calhoun at 10:45 O'Clock
this morning, Attorney Moore sur
rendered the floor to Heney. A
brief recess was declared by the
court, after which, at 1915
O'Clock. Heney addressed the
jury.
Moore followed the general line
of rhetorical argument, that yes
|terday held spellbound the larg-
lest audience that yet had packed
the court room.
After scoring Moore for the al
legged abuse he has heaped upon
the heads OF the supporters of the
prosecution, Heney said:
Moore asked you to believe
that Spreckels, Phelan. Burns,
O'Gara, Heney and the members
of the league OF Justice are all
criminals, that they've all commit
ted crimes, and he says It's proven
by the records. II the records
prove that what will you say about
what they proved about Patrick
