Judge Lawlor said that when this

On being questioned concerning
; the activities of his attorneys, Ruef
! declared that they bad not prepared
1 an apeal, but said that If he hud
been in court when Ach agreed to
the stipulation of tho court, he
I would not have consented to it, as he
1 felt that It deprived him of his con
! stltutional privilege,
j Declaring himself not entirely sat
: Isfied by the assurances of the do
i fendant nnd his attorneys. Judge
Lawlor made the order stipulating
that the district attorney's office

I perfect an appeal,
j Ruef then asked the court to allow
i him to make frequent trips Into the
', city for the purpose of attending to
j the disposition of his business nf-
fairs, but the court refused to con
sider the request.
Since the order granting a seven
days' stay to Ruef, there have been j
persistent rumors that his attorneys j

the federal circuit court and If he ;
did not get relief, to telegraph to j
the V nited States supreme court an ,
application for his release on bail,
