Challenged by Boyd

Boyd finally challenged on the
ground that when Blumenthal was
called as a talesman in the trial of
Frank MacSherry, which ended with
the latter's plea of guilt, he had ex-
pressed a positive an decided opinion
regarding MacSherry's guilt The at
torneys for the defense responded that
this same ground of challenge had
failed to disqualify Olmsted, and a long
argument ensued, in which Heggerty
Keys and knight all joined with Mar
tinelli against Boyd. Judge Lennon
declared that the two cases were radi-
cally different, in that Olmsted's opin-
ion was not a positive one and that
Blumenthal had also stated that he did
not think he could try the case fairly
Judge Lennon explained that as it
would become necessary for the prose-
cutfon, in order to support it's case to
prove the guilt of Joe Abbott and
Frank MacSherry prior to proving a
connection between them and F1annery,
the question of a belief in the guilt or
innocence of these men became a ma
terlal point in the examination of ju-
rors. At the same time, he said that
he was not satisfied that Blumenthal
had qualified or that Olmsted had dis
qualified. He questioned Olmsted again
and then repeated his former ruling in
that case. He took the Blumenthal
matter under advisement, however, I'M
til this morning in order to go carefully
over the latter's statements under ex-
animation.

out any questions. but his examination
by Martinelli brought out the first ref
erence to detectives"
DO you know either Harry Wilbur
or John Mccarthy, couple of San
Francisco detectives?" inquired Marti-
nelli.
Speaking OF detectives" countered
Boyd, do you know Captain John
Cleary. San Francisco detective?'
Grady answered both questions in
the negative and was passed without
challenge, as was also Adolph Bauer
a newspaper agent of Ross valley VINO
declared that he had no opinion con-
corning the merits of the charge
against the defendant and could give
both sides fair trial
John A. Filippini, retired farmer,
said that he was opposed to gambling
and that while he wouldn't hold it
against" the defendant if the latter
refused to take the witness stand in
his own behalf his failure to do s.,
might make him feel that there twas
something back of it that the defend
ant didn't want to tell" Martinelli's
challenge was allowed
Maurice Foley, Louis Peter and Will
liam r. Pepper qualified without chal-
lenge from either side, but Morris Blu
menthal caused a struggle. 1t was evil
dent from the beginning of the exam
ination that Boyd didn't want him as a
juror, and the reason became apparent
when he brought out the fact that Blu
menthals partner, S. Herzog, was one
of the men who qualified on the bail
bond of Constable John f. Greed of
Sausalito. who was indicted for al
legged completely in the fake poolroom
case and who since has died. Boyd
also made the point that the talesman
was on intimate terms with NJ. F. Coeh-
rane, who, according to Joe Abbott's
statement before the grand jury. was
active in supporting the poolroommen
after their arrest

MAY GET WATER
FROM NEW MAINS
Pan to Supply SoutnsIde by Lay
ing PIPE Across JMDes
River.

Three plans for Improving the
water supply of Washington Ward
were submitted To II sub committee on
water by Superintendent Eugene r.
Davis, or the " alter Department Mon
day night No action was taken by
the committee members, but they
seemed most impressed with Il plan
10 lay Il large main across tn river
James, connecting with the Richmond
Reservoir on one side. and the South
Richmond mains on the other other,
Such ii plan, IL carried through, viii
cost about $4,000, but has the ad
vantage Of insurlng an adequate sup
ply OF water at all times According
to Mi, Davis TOO the original cost
viii be practically all that need be
expended. whereas. two other plans
submitted by him, II adopted. Will re-
quire an outlay OF several thousand
dollars annually for maintenance.
OF the other two plans submitted by
Mir. Davis, one arranges for the install
lation of several large distributing
mains on the principal streets OF the
South Side, The other arranges for
the installation of pumping maehin-
cry for the old Manchester Pump
house. This last would cost $4,000
but would require an expenditure OF
$4,000 yearly for maintenance.
The water supply question is of
paramount importance to Southside
residents. in that upon its settlement
hinges the question of improvements
OF the fire department OF that section.
A request by the board OF fire COM
missioners for new fire engine for
Washington Ward was recently laid on
the table by the finance committee on
the grounds that the water mains and
tank OF the section in question are
totally inadequate to meet even the
present strain on them.
