HENEY TALKS 12 HOUBS.NOTTIRED Closing Speech Against Cal houn Keeps Vast Crowd in Courtroom. JURY WANTS TO HEAR' ALL Prosecutor Dissects Arguments of Moore and Flings Back Charge of Clara Prejudice Uase Goes to Jury Today. SAX FRANCISCO. June 18. Making no concession to physical fatigue or "train Assistant District Attorney l-rancls J. Heney. after 12 hours of argument devoted to presentation of his case against President Patrick Cal houn, of the United Railroads, refused to curtail his discourse tonight and made necessary the first night session of the record-breaking trial. There was every reason to believe that the case would go to the jury tonight, until Judge William P. Lawior made direct lnnilirv am tt - . v. . still required in which to bring his talk to a close. Mr. Heney refused to be restricted. He asked for another hour to determine bis power of en durance, and when judge. Jury and spectators were wearied he had to be reminded that his privilege had ex pired. Jurors Want to Hear All. Speaking from his seat In the jury box one of the men Imprisoned since last March expressed his willingness to stay all night and hear the final word of argument. Another juror an older man suggested to the court that Mr. Heney be given the additional hour he asked. "The court will expect argument to be completed at 10:30 o'clock tomorrow morning." said Judge Lawior, after or dering the Bight session, and unless inere la an unexpected disagreement iiWe" court and counsel the Jury will be given the case almost on the hour of 12 o'clock Saturday. Intense Public Interest. As the end of the trial draws near there Is expressed In gathering crowds the public Interest that has attended every important issue of the graft prosecution during the last three years Men prominent In civic affairs and wom en whose places in society have previ ously given them undisputed entrance to every function, of whatever kind xtood In line for hours outside Car penters' Hall today hearing Mr. Heneys voice, but unable to distinguish his words. Packed In a narrow space beyond the last tier of seats, spectators who deemed themselves privileged' stood through the final hours of argument, and beyond these were others who stood on tiptoe In the lobby and craned their necks to catch a glimpse of the speaker, 100 feet away. Strong Guard on Building. The policemen and agents of the District Attorney's office In uniform and In plain clothes guarded the en trance to the building, regulated the Incoming stream of spectators or sat In watchful attitude near the Inner rail, where Mr. Heney paced back and forth, as his argument proceeded. Editors, clergymen and the foremost adherents of the prosecution and defense hemmed In the tables of the attorneys. Patrick Calhoun gave his undiverted attention to Mr. Heney's address, and his attorneys. Interrupting the speak er with a dozen objections to his ac cusations or Inferences, furnished him with several subjects for Impromptu rejoinders. Most unusual of the Interruptions made to Mr. Heney's speech was the prose cutor's charge that Dr. W. B. Coffey chief surgeon for the United Railroads! had attempted from his place behind the defendant to Influence the action of the jury during the argument by holding his hands to his temple and smiling. Dr. Coffey arose to address the court at this Instant, saying: "The reference Is outrageous. I demand an apology from Mr. Heney." "You won't get it." said the prosecutor. "I deserve one, because I am a gentle man and you are not." said Dr. Coffey, (landing to confront Mr. Heney. Judge Lawior requested Dr. Coffey to sit down and ordered Mr. Heney to pro ceed. Ridicules Moore's Argument. - Mr. Heney . ridiculed the theory ad vanced by A. A. Moore In the latter's clos ing argument that Tirey L. Ford, of tha 1'nited Railroad, had paid a fee to Abraham Ruef, and that the supervisors had extorted the money they received from the former boss and not from the defendant. "It Is fabricated evidence," said Mr Heney. "it shows the guilt of the de fendant even hypothetlcallv to admit so much as that. They ask you to be neve. as a reasonable- hypothesis, that ord paid $60,000 to Ruef as a fee, and that the greedy supervisors extorted JSo.000 from poor Abraham Ruef, with R net loss to the boss of $35,000.' Why It Is an Insult to your intelligence' I-.ven a half-witted person would know It for what It Is. "Mr. Moore presented to you matter of this sort with a certainty and confidence lor which I cannot account. I therefore rely upon your honesty or your Intelli gence." There was a prolonged wrangle and several further Interruptions to the argument when Mr. Heney went Into the matter of class prejudice, which Mr. Moore had asked the jury to Ignore. "Is there anything here?" asked Mr. llcney. "that leads to a belief that Ru dolph Spreckels was perjuring himself wh.-n he told you of the time that Pat rick Calhoun offered. to move a railroad off Pacific avenue, where Mr. Spreckels 1 1 V t CI ? Class Prejudice Shown. l1, th? was an PPeal to the class prejudice of Mr. Spreckels by the de fendant. Mr. Moore blew hot and cold on this subject as his subjects required "Mr. Moore would rather be called dishonest than be called a bootblack because he said his gorge had risen at the suggestion of performing menial service. I would rather be a bootblack than be called dishonest but Mr. Moore considers the bootblack, even though " ,ar bene"h him that he win not be compared to one. Talk about t-Us. prejudice. Why, he Is steeped In m"V "JVS take thre months to'trv Michael Coffey, the Supervisor, nor did it take two months more to convict Mm of accenting ,,ik funvict - . in mis verv i trolley matter. That was a matter of di"linc,!?- caey did hv ---a." "nsiruci justice. He was convicted on the same teaUmonv offered here. Including the testimony of James L. Gallagher." There was a chorus of protest from the. defendant's attorneys, who charged that Mr. Heney was again guilty of eirur in mining such reference. Judge Lawior, after examination of the record, instructed the jury to dis regard the remark, but not until Mr. Heney and Mr. King and Stanley Moore had indulged In flat contradictions. Charge Ruef Held Up Calhoun. "You have repeatedly charged that my father declared Mr. Calhoun was not held up," said .Stanley Moore, inaugurating one of the wrangles that occurred during the day. "Well, he did," said Mr. Heney. "He was careful to declare without qualifi cation that Patrick Calhoun was not neld up by Abraham Ruef. That was for publication by the newspapers, to be read by Ruef in his cell at the County Jail, so that he would not get the Idea that he might want to testify again. They did not dare to go too far and say that Ruef held up Cal houn, because Ruef might come here and tell what he knows of the so-called holdup. "The fighting Mr. Calhoun, who would not suffer the opposition of Mr. Spreckels; who would not allow the demands of the carmen, hut destroyed their union the fighting Mr. Calhoun did not allow that curly-headed rascal to hold him up. It was not In the proud eplrit of Mr. Cal houn to permit any such thing. He was one of the class that has for Its motto 'millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute' until they are Indicted, and then the millions flow, as they have flowed here. Could Have Wiped Out Ruef. "Do you suppose that if the gas 8nd telephone and railroad officials had been Jnvited to yield tribute and had joined hands Ruef would have been able to hold them up? Don't you know that if they had determined to spend what they spent for these privileges in the municipal election they could have wiped out Ruef, Schmits and their administration? "But they preferred to join hands with the crooks of the tenderloin, who also wanted special privileges. They were willing to pay out as tribute a small part of the millions they reaped through increased gas, telephone and other rates." One of the Incidents of the day was the arrival of a woman who bore an elaborate basket of roses and who re mained In front of the courtroom over an hour, awaiting Calhoun's return from lunch. As the automobile of the railroad president arrived the woman transferred the basket to her B-year-old daughter, who presented the flow ers to Calhoun. The defendant thanked the donors and placed the basket In his automobile. LITTLE ROOM LEFT ELIOT'S "FIVE-FOOT SHELF" OF BOOKS ABOUT FULL. Bible Is Not Included and Shake speare Also Is Missing From List as Eliot Compiles It. NEW TORK, June 18. (Special.) The first list of books which ex-President Eliot, of Harvard. announced would adorn his five-foot shelf were not gen erally published. The entire list has not yet been announced, but there is not much room left on the five-foot shelf, and the addition will be awaited with interest. The first list is as follows: "Autobiog raphy of Benjamin Franklin"; "Journal of John Woolman"; "Fruits of Solitude," by William Penn; Bacon's "Essays'" and "New Atlantis"; Milton's Areopagltlca" and "Traotate on Education"; Sir Thomas Browne's "Religio Medici": Pla to's "Apology," "Phaedo," and "Crito"; "Golden Sayings of Epicfetus"; "Medita tions of Marcus Aurelius"; Emerson's "Essays"; Emerson's "English Traits"; the complete poems of Milton. ELIOT BOOKS ARE UNPOPULAR Only Four Read by Gotham People. Bible and Shakespeare Left Out. NEW YORK. June 18. The failure of Dr. Charles W. Eliot, recently president of Harvard College, to include the Bible and Shakespeare in a list of 25 books for the liberal education of any man, is caus ing much comment in literary and reli gious circles. Heretofore no educator has published a list of liberal reading without incorporating these works. Few of the books mentioned by Dr. Eliot are popular with public library readers, apparently. Reports show that In the month of April there were 25.103 readers at the Astor and Lenox libraries in this city. There were also 632,438 readers to take books home from the various branch libraries, and 47.905 readers who use books at the branches. In that Immense total there are only four books on Dr. Eliot's list for which there Is any considerable demand. They are the autobiographies of Benja min Franklin, Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations." Emerson's essays and Bacon's essays. SHOT DEAD BY MEXICAN Well-Known Arizona Citizen Assas sinated While Prospecting. YUMA, Ariz., June IS.
