STORMY PASSAGES
 IN CALHOUN TRIAL
Heney Accuses Attorney Ach of Knowledge Beforehand of His Shooting Last
 Fall by Morris Haas
DAY PASSES WITHOUT RESULT AND ONE SEAT EMPTY IN BOX

SAN FRANCISCO, February 20.-Re. viving his attempted assassination last November, Francis J. Heney today
 charged that Henry Ach, attorney for
 Abraham Ruef, knew of the intention
 of Morris Haas to shoot the prosecutor.
 The accusation was flung at the at
 torneys for the defense during the course of one of the most heated ex- changes that has occurred during the trial of Patrick Calhoun, and before the session assumed its usual calm com. plexion, Judge Lawlor threatened the two belligerent attorneys with impris- onment in the county jail.
 There were references to armed gun men, to the use of dynamite, and to the prospects of imprisonment before the court succeeded in inducing both sides to lay aside the immediate basis of dis. agreement and cease their objectionable references
 Adolphus Shubbard, an elderly tales. man, whose time is occupied by his fra ternal association duties, was under ex. animation when the stormiest outbreak of the trial occurred.
 Earl Rogers, of the defense, asked:
 Do you know that your son has been the associate of men in the employ of Special Agent w. J. Burnss''
 ''I don t know it, and don t believe It," said the talesman.
 ''I know it's hard thing to be- lieve,'' commented Rogers.
 "We don't like that form of exam. ination, and We must obiect,' inter. posed Assistant District Attorney Heney.
 A. A. Moore took immediate objec- ton to Heney's tone, saying:
 "A few days ago, Heney, in course of the examination of Sam Leake, turned to the attorneys at this table, and said that he had established d line over which no man dared pass in the future. Are we to understand that his retainers, with sword and pistol. will endeavor to maintain that line? Heney. in my estimation, has been in the habit of bnlldozing jurors and persisted in accusing us of engaging in that practice. He is in such position that it might be | said of him, Thou sayest such an un. disputed thing in such solemn a way I"
 Heney at this point rose to remon- strate. Addressing the court, he said:
 ''If the defense will produce any witness who will take the stand and | testify to matters derogatory to my character, l will promise not to inter. rupt nor wit make any objection dur ing the argument where my name is mentioned. But Heney is not on trial | here and he doesn t propose to be tried during the trial of Patrick Calhoun. I | have taken more insults during the past six months than I will ever take again. For all that time l stood for the abuse of Henry Ach, and l am satisfied Henry Ach had personal knowledge before hand that Morris Haas intended to kill me.
 "Hereafter I don intend that any reflections shall be cast upon me. My character is not an issue here, nor do conceive that Burns or Langdon have been put on trial.
 ''Now, I think that this is an occa- sion where we may understand oneI another, and for my part, Tn promise not to indulge in any side remarks"
 A. A. Moore, of the defense, made reply to Heney's address, saying: r.
 Heney makes the mistake of ere. ating men of straw, and blowing them over He says in bellcose way, he won't permit this and he won't permit that, but I doubt if we are obliged to 1 regard his prohibitions. If we should attempt to show that Heney enteredl
