FIannery Deposits $4,000

In accordance with the order made by
the court Thursday afternoon, Flannery
deposited $4,000 in cash with the clerk
of the court before the calling of the
case yesterday morning. When court
opened he was again surrounded by the
five members OF his counsel, while Jo-
seph Coffey, an attorney connected with
the United Railroads In this city, sat at
his side. Coffey has been present in
court. paying close attention to the pro-
ceedings ever since the case began but
said yesterday that his only interest in
the trial was due to his personal friend
ship for Flannery.
During the examina ton of Robert
Wood the first witness Attorneys
George A. knight and E. B. Martinelli
of Flannery's counsel were reprimand-
ed by the court for having taken up a.
position too close to the Jury box Boyd
first called attention to the fact that
they had moved their chairs directly
against the rail of the jury box within
two or three feet of some of the jurors,
and were conversing in whispers.
Counsel should not sit where they
are" declared Judge Lennon when
Boyd commented upon the fact Some
of these whispers may be overheard. I
desire that counsel should take their
places at the counsel table"
swINDLED OUT OF $500
ROBERT w OOQ went into the details
of the manner in which he was swim
died out Of $500 in the fake Sausalito
poolrom. He told of having become
acquainted with one of the "steerers''
in San Francisco and of how he was
induced to go to Sausalito, lured into
the bogus gambling joint and there
encouraged to write a worthless check
and later to mortgage his property to
raise the $500 outs of which he was
swindled.
Knights cross examination of Wood
was brief. He said that he believed
the story told by the witness to be
true and contented himself with a few
questions. The only other witness
examined was Edward A FranuueIin.
manager of the Marin county district
of the Pacific telephone and telegraph
company. who said that he had visited
the fake poolroom in Sausalito after
the raid upon It, had examined the
telephone instruments which it con-
tanned and had found that they were
bogus instruments, not connected out
side the building.
There will be no session of the trial
today, but Judge Lennon announced
that. in order to save the Jury from
any longer confinement than necessary.
he would hold night sessions next
week.

talned over the jurors at the hotel last
night and will be continued over Sum
day.
The spectacle of IL men, constitut-
ing jury, marching through the
streets under the guidance of deputy
sheriffs, is unusual in San Rafael, al
though 1t was a common sight in San
francisco during the trial of the graft
cases. Just why it was deemed neces-
sary in the Flannery case was a matter
upon which District Attorney Boyd re-
mained as mute as Judge Lennon him
self. but several incidents are supposed
to have contributed to the decision of
the court to order the surveillance
"GumShoe" Tactics Suspected
The presence of number of gun
fighters and detectives in San Rafael
ever since the beginning of the en-
parchment of the jury aroused a tinge
of suspicion that "gumshoe" tactics
were being employed in the case. An
insurance agent who had been inter
viewing several jurors and who took
number of them to lunch on Thursday
was ordered by Sheriff Taylor and Dis
trict Attorney Boy1d to keep away
from San Rafael, despite his statement
that his conversations had related
strictly to insurance matters. Other
men were seen to be closely watching
the jurors during the noon adjournment
yesterday and among the newcomers
in court during the day was Isaac
Cohn, man said to have been en-
ployed as detective in the Ruef and
Calhoun trials in San Francisco.
All these things have tended to cre-
ate atmosphere of uneasiness, and
are supposed to have been responsible
for Judge Lemons decision. Whether
any reports of jury tampering had to
do with the activity of Sheriff Taylor
and District Attorney Boyd in San
Francisco. however, was matter
which neither would discuss.
Where Is Bassity?
Jerome Bassity, the San Francisco
dive keeper and politician, who is
wanted by the prosecution as a wit
ness. is said to have disappeared. 1t
was stated yesterday that a subpoena
had been issued for him several days
ago, but that he had not been at his
home for the last few days and could

subpenas have been secured for Older,
Isidor Jacobs, who has taken an active
interest in the case, and for John Nc
Carthy and Harry Wilbur, detectives
who have been almost constantly with
Abbott since he gave his testimony
before the grand jury.
The various developments yesterday
including the activities of the county
officials, the locking up of the jury, the
several postponements of the trial and
the rumors of new evidence and of in
reference with the jury was summed
up by Flannery's chief attorney,
George A. Knight, in the remark that
the prosecutions case had blown up"
District Attorney Boyd, however, de-
clared that all that had occurred with

stronger than ever"

!"nSe who are quick to observe

rrversion to the pursuits of a more

Such an occupation becomes virtually
a rest cure in this epoch of rush
