Viii Be Signed by Shaw,
Angelotti and Sloss

BY a four to three decision OF the
state supreme court yesterday after
noon the conviction of L5uis Glass for
the bribery OF Supervisor Thomas Lon
ergan was set aside. The tribunal not
only sustained the findings Of the ap-
pellate court, which had previously or
dered new trial, but found additional
grounds for the reversal. The opinion
was written by Justice Henshaw JUS
tices Melvin and Lorigan concurred in
every particular. Chief Justice Beatty

agreed with the findings '1n most par
ttculars,'' but intended to prepare a
separate opinion. A dissenting opinion
Is in process of preparation. It IS
understood that 1t Will be signed by

for reversal. They may be enumerated
as follows:
Admission of evidence of Glass
actiyft yto block the Home company
franchise IN Oakland
Admission of evidence that Abe
Ruef was employed at a monthly salary
by the Pacific telephone company.
S-Faflure of the lower court to in

pany was to be regarded merely as
showing guilty intent and motive
4-Failure of the lower court to in
struct the jury that the refusal of E.
j. thinner to testify was not to be
construed to the disadvantage of Glass.
The appellate court has based its
reversal solely on the first and fourth
points cited above.
RUEF,S ATTORNEYS BUsy
Attorneys were busy during the day
endeayoring to find something in the
decision which might bear upon the
Ruef case. The supreme court did not
pass Upon the law of accorapMces
The phase of the decision that at
tracted the greatest attention was the
declaration that Judge Lawlor erred
In not limiting the jury in its consid-
Grafton Of other briberies by the Pacific
telephone company. Specifically, the
court held that the error consisted in
the failure to give the following in
struction:
Il charge you that this evidence was
admitted for the sole purpose of prov
ing guilty intent. motive, or guilty
knowledge Of the defendant and that
II can 5e considered ey yoei for no
ether purpose"
It is stated that the record in the
Ruef case is well buttressed against
similar assault
The dissenting opinion was not com
pleted yesterday. 1t is believed that It
will be handed down within a day or
two.
