OF INDICTMENTS
FAH Charges Against Joe Abbott
of PooIroom Gang Are
Dismissed
Especial Dispatch to The Call

SAN RAFAEL, June 20.-The indict-
ments of pool selling and grand larceny
against Joseph Abbott, leader of the
Sausalito fake poolroom gang and prin-
cipal witness for the prosecution in the
trial of former Police Commissioner
Harry p. Flannery. were dismissed to-
day by Superior Judge j. d. Murphy, on
motion of District Attorney Thomas P,
Boyd. Judge Murphy, who came from
Mono county to preside in the absence
of Judge Lennon, dismissed the indict-
ments on the ground that Abbott fur
thered the ends of justice in giving tes-
tinlony for the state before the Marin
county grand jury and in court.
Boyd did not dwell upon the details
of Abbott's charges against the former
police commissioner. Nothing was said
of Abbott's allegation that Flannery
and invited him had his pals to operate
bunko games in San Francisco under
protection.
Abbott showed no elation over the
dismissal of the case against him. He
has been at Mark West springs in So
nonla county with his wife since the
acquittal of Flannery, and if nothing
interfereS with his plans he will prob
ably leave for the east when certain
of his business affairs in San francisco
are arranged.
Abbott expressed considerable uneasi-
ness regarding the attitude of Elan
merry and his friends toward him. He
fears that an effort will be made by
those in power in San Francisco to
cause his arrest on some other charge

ST. PETERSBURG, June 2o.-A
clipping from a German news
paper, which recently fell under
the czar's eye, has given him a
fresh terror. 1t reported that
Gorky and Andrieff. exiled Rus
sian writer's, have bought Curtiss
aeroplanes and are learning to
fly, their ambition being to- wing
their way back to Russia and
drop explosives upon the palace
occupied by the czar.
He called into conference Baron
Renne. one of the pioneers among
Russian aeronauts, and asked him
if it would be possible for any
one TO let explosives fall from an
airship in such a way as to blow
UP the palace and then escape.
The baron frankly admitted that
such a thing might happen.
Thereupon the czar commanded
the premier to collaborate with
the minister of justice in framing
a law to govern aviation.
