Saw Others Threatened.

Another probable reason that the two
defendants did not assert their constl-
tutional privilege before testifNing was
that they had seen other witnesses who
refused to testify on the ground that
IL might incrimlnate them threatened
with prosecution unless they took the
stand and answered the required ques-
tons. Judge Hunt adds that John w,
w. Grim, attorney for Mellen. gathered
from certain things said 10 him by
solicitor Folk that immunity was to
be- extended to some OF the witnesses.
BY It's very acts, the Judge holds, the
commission itself gave the two defend
ants the impression that they would
receive immunity.
The same facts do not apply in the
case of Il. -. Robbins. the court holds, AS
nothing was done to warrant the as
sumption on his part that he was to
receive immunity without formal as
sertion OF his constitutional privilege.
William Rockefeller might have
gained immunity with Messrs Elton and
Skinner had II not been for his poor
health, which prevented him from COM
plying with the commissions request
that he also appear as II witness.

SAN QUENTIN, Aug. 2S.-Abe Ruef. companion of former Mayor Schmidt, in the San Francisco graft cases has finally been paroled after spending many years in the penitentiary. Ruefs parole was granted Saturday on the recommendation of the state parole board which, however, did not give the prisoner full liberty for the present and restricted his movements to Mendi- cino county for a period of three months following his parole
 This practically amounts to an exile of the prisoner as it is especially pro vided that he shall not leave that coun- ty for the period stated thus barring him from returning to San Francisco for the present. The parole board gave no reason for their action beyond stat ing that it was not deemed to be ad- visable for the prisoner to return to San Francisco during his first months of liberty.
