shot ye.Uurday by Morris Haas, pas
sed a good night at the hospital and
is resting quietly today. He Is In
full possesion of his faculties, and
the report that the wound would

The attending surgeons are holding a

which found lodgement under the
right jaw. The brain was not
touched. The latest bulletin, issued

E roREMOSTDRY.GOODS ESTABLISHMENT
Mass Meeting Tonight.
After immense crowds watched the
bulletin boards all night, getting an
nouncements of Heney's condition,
public sentiment settled down into
sullenness, which the police Inter
pret as foreboding evil. Strong men
are urging moderation, and every ef
fort is being made to prevent a state
of anarchy which will follow any
overt act.
After an all-night session, the Citi
zens' League of Justice, whteh is
fathering the graft prosecution, to
day issued an appeal for a mass meet
ing tonight to decide upon a plan of
action regarding the continuance of
Heney's work. The appeal says, in
part:
"We appeal to the calm reason of
the citizens to preserve order. Let us
proceed only by processes of law,
looking not for vengeance, but for
swift justice through the courts. The
prosecution will proceed; we aro
assured that the Ruef trial, will re
sume next Monday." .
Despite the conservative wording
of the appeal, the police are taking
every precaution to prevent violence
at tonight's meeting.
Examiner Blamed.
Rudolph Spreckles, owner of the
San Francisco Call and one of Mr.
Heney's strongest supporters, said
to a United Press representative to
day. "When I was approached by an
Examiner reporter last night and ask
ed for a statement concerning the
murderous attack on Mr. Heney, 1
said: 'Tell Mr. Hearst that I believe
he is responsible for this attempted
murder.' This constant vilification,
ridiculing and caricaturing of Mr..
Heney in the Examiner, which is
owned by Hearst, is much responsible
for the shooting, which Is not unlike
the assassination of President Mc
Kfnley, which is laid at the door of
such yellow journals as Mr. Hearst
owns."
Wm. J. Burns, the detective, who
is associated with Mr. Heney in the
graft cases, declared today that the
shooting was the result of a deliber
ate plot planned by the "Higher
Ups." r Burns declares that Haas

Huns Trained His Aim.
Rude scrawls of targets, drawn
with pencil, shattered boards in the
cellar and alley way found at his
home today by the police, furnish un
mistakable evidence that Morris
H aas, who at tern pted to m u rder
Heney, had been practicing to im
prove his aim. Neighbors frequent
ly heard shots, but upon Investiga
tion found nothing.
Haas awoke in jail today appar
ently unconcerned over Heney's con
dition or his own fate. At his little
home on McAllister Btreot his wife
and children are being consoled by
neighbors.
Story of the Crime.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 13. The
San Francisco bribery-graft cases had
a dramatic climax today, when As
sistant District Attorney Francis J.
Heney, who has been in charge of
the prosecution during Its course of
two years, was shot and seriously
wounded In the crowded courtroom
by Morris Haas, an ex-convict. The
shooting occurred during a brief re
cess In the third trial of Abrnham
Ruef on the charge of bribery, which
Is now in its 11th week.
The would-be assassin Is a Jew and
a saloonkeeper, who was drawn upon
the jury panel in the second trial
of Ruef and, after having been tem
porarily passed by both sides, was
exposed in a dramatic manner by Mr.
Heney as an ex-convict and dis
charged from the jury. Haas de
clared after the shooting that Heney
had ruined his life by this exposure
and that he had determined to kill
Mr. Heney for that reason. Upon
being taken to prison, he said:
"Heney ruined me. I don't care
what becomes of me now. ,
A Cowardly Act,
When recess was declared, Mr.
Heney, Instead of going outside to
enjoy a brief airing, stepped for a
moment into an ante-room, and then
came back to his counsel table.
White many of the persons who
crowded the courtroom-had gone out

OF SOUTHERN OREGON
J. UOOSKVKI.T SHOCKED.
Special to the Review.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14.
John D. Spreckels today re
ceived the following telegram
from President Roosevelt:
"1 am Inexpressibly shocked
at the attempted assassination
of Mr. Heney. 1 earnestly
hope he will recover. The in
famous character of the would
be assassin Is no less thnn the
infnmous character of the
deed. It calls attention In a
very tragic way to the true
character of the forces against
which Mr. Heney, yourself and
your associates are battling.
on the sidewalk, there was still a
large crowd In the room.
Mr. Honey was leaning over on his
table, conversing In low tonos wllh
Al. McCnbe. chief clerk of . the Dis
trict Attorney's office. Directly In
front of him was James L. (Inlla
gher', the witness, and a newspaper
representative had Just walked to
Mr. Heney's tnble and was standing
at his left elbow, waiting for an op
portunity to speak to him, when a
small man, neatly attired and having
a decidedly Jewish cast of counten
ance, approached tho assistant dis
trict attorney from behind ill quick
steps, but with deliberation. Sud
denly his right hand shot out and,
before the newspaperman, Mr. Mc
Cabe or John Foley, Mr. Heney's
special bodyguard, sitting about eight
feet away, could make a move, there
was a flash and a loud report rang
through tho courtroom.
For a moment everybody Boomed
stunned and paralyzed. The would
be assassin, whose revolver was with
in a foot and a half of Mr. Honey's
head when he pulled the trigger,
stepped back, his arms by his side,
one hand still clutching the smoking
pistol, as If hesitating what to do.
Before the assassin could raise hie
pistol again Mr. Foley and K. J.
Wisflotihlll, a special policeman,
were upon him, had thrown hlin to
the floor and wrested the weapon
from his grasp.
Ruef's nutomoblle stood In front
of the building nnd he Immediately
ordered his chauffeur to get the
nearest physician.
The report of the attempted assns
'':.vlrn niroad throughout the cllv
like wllclriie and caused intense ex
citement and Indignation.
Itllcf Out IK I!,.hIIh.
In a corner of the courthouse Mr.
Ach and Mr. Dozier, Ruef's coun
sel, wero in the chambers of Judge
LawJor.
"My God," extlalmed Mr. Ach. "I
wish I had never taken a criminal
case In my life. I will never take
another when I get out of this one.
This is a dastardly outrage. I can
not express myself In strong enough
terms. Mr. Heney did not denounce
this man Hass. If he is the one who
did the shooting. In pursuance of
his duty he disclosed the fact, dur
ing the other trial of Mr. Ruef, that
Haas was nn ex-convlc.t and as such
had him dismissed from tho Jury
box. I Blncorely hope that Mr. Heney
will recover."
Mr. Hosier nlso regretted thnt he
was engnged In a criminal case after
having several times made a resolu
tion that he would not again take
one.
"It's getting to bo a pretty state
of affairs when a man engaged In
the performance of his duty js shot
down In an open courtroom," he
said. "It was a dastardly act, an out
rageous deed.
Ri.of denounced the attempted as
sassination most vehemently.
"I cannot find iangunge strong
enough to denounce the attempt to
kill Mr. Honey."
Htlef Sheltered til .Tail.
As soon as a soinblnnco of order
wns restored, the court ordered Ruef,
who has been at liberty on bonds
aggregating $ I ,.100,000, Into the cus
tody of the sheriff and he was soon
afterward taken to the county Jail.
Tho action of Judge l.nwlor In
ordering nuer into custody was
taken. It Is said, not so much for
fear that he would endeavor to ften
as for his own safety from possible
moo violence, evidently fearing that
some demonstration might be madi
also against the would-be AKsnsnl n
the police removed him tonight from
tne cay prison.
Hvm-f'n Dei liiriitliin.
"I'll live to prosecute that man,'
declared Mr. Ilenev on the onernt
Ing table at the Central Kmergency
hospital, while the surgeons were
pronmg his wound. The wounded
man was entirely conscious and grit
tily endured the ordeal.
Motive for linn' Crime.
Haas was convicted of embezzle
ments in San Hernanllno county, and
on May 23, 1SKS. was sentenced to
three years in San 0'ientln. He serv
ed two years anil eight months, hal
ing earned four months by grwul be
havlor, and was released January
2". 1890. Rome years later he was
married, and has a wife and four
children. He lived with his family
at 184H McAllister street, and was
engaged In the saloon business at In
time he was drawn on the Jury pnnel
for the second trial of Ruef last
May. After he had been passed by
both sides, Mr. Heney learned thnt
he was an ex-convlct. He dramatic
ally confronted Haas with his pic
ture In convict strips, closely-crop
ped hair and number across his
breast. Haas was forced to admit
his penitentiary record anil was Int
mediately discharged from the Jury
From his statement It apears that
he has been brooding over his ex-
posure ever since that day. and has
nursed a deep hatred for Mr. Heney.
which culminated In today's tragedy.
Heney nnd Ills Work.
Tho Portland Oregoniun Bays, edi
torially:
That Heney has done, on the
whole, a good and grent work. The
Oregonlnn fully believes. Thut In
some of his methods he wns not Ju
dicious and wise, Is conceded. Yet
it remains that Heney has done a
great work.
One principle of hnmnn nature he
has antagonized, which has rendered
his work unpopular. Ho has used
certain malefactors for conviction of
others. Now it is a common thought
that this Is wrong. It is snid that
Heney has pushed certain men to ex
tremity, who were no worse thnn
those whoso acts and crimes he has
condoned.
Therefore It is argued that, since
nil can't be punished, none should
be. Tho Oregonlnn does not ngroc
with this reasoning or with its con
clusion.
Heney,' wo havo thought, has not
always done his work Judiciously,
but Boclety has a right to use all pos
sible means for conviction and pun-
isnment or those who rob and op
press it. It hns'a right to grant im
munity to some, for their testi
mony against others, and to get nt
the proof against those who are rob
bing It, how it can.
Heney, then, has simply been a
public servunt, pursuing public
thieves. The reslBtunce he hns met,
even from those who should wnnt
public thieves punished, is nmnzing.
The general ground of the opposition
Is expressed in the Inquiry, "why
should this man be let off nnd that
man punished?" Hecnuso legal tes
timony must be had or nobody will
be punished, and the Iniquity will go
on forever; nnd besides, society must
always use, as It has a right to use,
tho lesser criminals for conviction
of the greater, so as to break up the
system.
Whether nnybody hns liked Heney
or not is nothing to tho purpose.
He has been breaking up rings or
thieves in California and Oregon, and
has done some mighty good work.
The personality of Heney Is no more
than an incidental factor. He lias
put a Btop to u mighty deal of wrong
doing. Only by iti'Iefntlgable pursuit
of the principals in it could tills be
done. Their Bntellites have been
likely to murder him, nt any time.
No man could stand In his place with
out taking that risk. In the case
of Heney, during years past, many
have thought of It.
