HENEY'S CHARGES
MAY SHOW UP GRAFT
IntimatiOn Is There Was to Be
a Rake-Of in the Purchase
OfPark Sites
(By Jack Jung Meyer.)

San Francisco, Nov. 2S.-With the
entire anti-graft movement in Alameda
county for the time being focused on
himself, Attorney George MeDonough
appeared before Judge Frank B. Ogden
today in answer to citation to show
cause why he should refuse to answer
grand jury questions as to the identity
of the overlords of 0akland's alleged
civic corruption,
He was hailed into court on an affi-
davit sworn to by the foreman of the
grand jury asserting that McDonough
had flatly refused to testify who had
employed him to defend the four in.
dicted election officials charged with
crime in connection with the recent
primaries. He had also refused to di.
vulge the source OF the $4,000 cash
bail provided for one Of the quartet
During the day there was buzz Of
excitement about the headquarters Of
the eOmittee Of one hundred where il
was expected a reply from Governor
johnson to a plea for the naming Of
Francis j. Heney as special graft in.
vestigatOr might be received,
Whether or not there was intended
graft profit in the proposed purchase Of
$4,000 worth Of park property by the
city Of Oakland from several big realty
syndicates is engaging the attention Of
the Alameda county grand jury today.
The crux Of the investigation rest
on the admission Of President Manuel
Of the park commission that one year
ago the S. Trestle Glen park site had
been offered to the city at $4,000 an
acre, the price now being $3.50.
This is one of the sites on which Oak.
land has an option.
Both Manuel and Mayor Mott how.
ever vehemently deny the price at
present is exorbitant.
