known, but it will be large. Large num-

RUFF TESTIFIES,
IS CONCLUSION
Former Boss on Stand Would
Benefit by Penal Code Sec
tion, Say Prosecutors
Regardless OF Effect, Evidence
Will Be Used Against
Schmitz if Necessary

According to the Interpretation given
by the district attorneys Office to sec
tion 1924 of the penal code, if Abra-
ham Ruef testifes in the trial of for
mer Mayor Eugene e. Schmitz he will
gain immunity from further prosecu-
tion OH the charges of bribery hanging
over him.
This point, which was. reported ex-
clusively in The Call, was reviewed
more extensively by the district attor-
ney's staff yesterday. District Attor-
ney FiclSert was out of the city, but
the effect of Ruefs testimony was con-
sidered at length by his deputies. The
intention of the district attorneys Of
flee yesterday was to call Ruef to the
stand in the Schmitz case, if it is be-
lfeved advisable to use him as a wit
ness, regardless of what effect the law
might have on Ruef:s future prosecu-
ton. 1t was believed. however, that
the law would work to the advantage
of the former political boss, who is
now serving il year term in San
Quentin for bribery in connection with
the passing by the .Ruef-Schmitz board
of supervisors" of the United Rail-
roads overhead trolley ordinance.
That he might testify in the Schmitz
case when needed. Ruef was brought
over from San Quentin to til ecounty
jail Wednesday. He will be kept in
this city until his services at the
schmitz trial before Judge Lawlor are
no longer needed.
Ruef said yesterday that he had not
yet read the code section which might

correspondent learned tonight that
Governor Johnson has telegraphed to

California should make straight out

SUPREME COURT DECIDES TEST
CASE WHICH MAY DUST OTHER
APPOINTED BY GOV. SMITH.

Atlanta, May 17.-Under a decision

VS.. H. S. West, involving a contest
over the judgeship of the city court

When the senate refused to consider
it and adjourned, Governor Smith on

gave HIM commission.
Judge West refused to turn over
the office and Mr.. Shackelford
brought quo warranto proceedings.
He lost in the superior court and
likewise in the supreme court by

can make no such appointment where
senate confirmation is required, ex-
cept in case a vacancy occurs when
the senate is not in session.
The decision of the court on the
test case affects similarly all of the
appointments made by the governor
which the senate refused to con-
firm.
Among them are the following:
