SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 23. This
morning, in his room at the Lane
Hospital, Francis J. Heney, conval
escent from the bullet wound of his
would-be aseassLn, Morris Hass, made
the following statement: ,
"I humbly thank God for my mir
aculous escape. It was the corrup
tion of man that levelled the murder
ous weapon, but divine psovldence
that directed the bullet. Henceforth,
my life work will be consecrated to
the just enforcement of the law, on
the principle that no man shall be
above the law. In this great human
battle against vice and corruption
let no one believe Its true source is
to be found In individual dynamiters,
jury bribers, kidnappers or assas
sins. The extermination of these
elements means ultimate victory."
Mr. Honey is rapidly regaining his
strength and vigor.

SHERIFF i STAND
Cinches State's Case Against
Cardiner Minister
PARROT f CORROBORATED
Hearing Enlivened by Tilt Between
Court and Lawyer, Resulting la
Fine (or Contempt
With the testimony of J. G. Sner-
lock, Bheriff of Throckmorton county,
Texas, introduced at the preliminary
examination in Justice Long s court,
this morning, the stnto welded Its
last link In the clip-In of evidence
around Rev. George Clark Summers,
the Gardiner minister, who Is resist
ing' extradition to Th-ockmorton.
where he Is wanted cn ths charge
of obtaining money under false pre
tenses. Kev. M. u. Wire, or Eugene,
district superintendent of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, was placed on
the witness stand by the defense, but
his evidence, If anything, fnvored the
state. The defense expected to have
prsent Rev. T. B. Ford, pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal church at Pen
dleton, but he did not appear, al
though he has been subpoenaed. At
torney W. W. Cardwell, of the de
fense, asserted that Rev. Ford's tes
timony was Imperative In the inter
est of his client and asked for a con
tinuance of the hearing until such
time as he could appear. Justice
Long granted the request, adjourning
tne hearing until next Wednesday.
Sheriff Fenton was instructed to tele
graph to Rev. Ford to come to Rose
burg forthwith. Owing to tho large
crowd of spectators that assembled to
hear the cose. Justice Long held
court not In hlB limited size otlice, but
In the more spacious city council
chambers in tho city hall.
Ciirtlwell Fined
At tho conclusion of the introduc
tion of testimony this morning, Dis
trict Attorney Brown requested., in
view of the addltionnl strength given
to the state's case, that the bond of
the accused man be increased from
$r,00 to $2000. as provided by the
Texas statutes for a case of this char
acter. . Attorney Cardwell Interposed
strenuous objection. "This man,"
snld he, referring to the lefendant,
"has made no attempt to get away,
neither has ho any intention of going
away. It s perfect nonsense to In
crease his bond every time a new wit
ness Is called. .
Justice- Lone replied that ho did
not care to be responsible In cose of
nn escape and he considered that the
evidence Introduced warranted a
heavier bond. He placed the amount,
however, not at $2000, as requested.
but at one-half that amount. This
did not sntfflfy Mr. Cardwell, and he
repeated that It was "nonsense" to
Increase the bond. Justice Long did
not like to have his rulings referred
to as "nonsense." and he told Mr.
Cardwell If he Insulted the court he
would be fined for contempt. To this
the attorney replied that he wouldn't
pay a fine. The Justice then wnrmed
up.. "Mr. Cardwell." said Justice
Long, with threatening gestures. "I
want you to distinctly understand
that you can't bull-dose this court,
and if you don't ceaso your remarks
you will be fined."
'Try It, was the defiant rejoinder.
'Mr. Cardwell, you are fined $2ri
for contempt. Mr. Sheriff, take
charge of him."
Sheriff Kenton led Cardwell to
one side and said something to him
in a fatherly sort or a way. "I won I
pay It," Cardwell was heard to re
mark, and then he mingled with the
crowd filing out of the court room.
Turning to District Attorney Brown,
Justice Tying directed him to pre
pare the necessary papers for a eon
tempt ease and then reached for his
hat, with the remark: "He will either
pay that fine or go to jnil." Up till
2 o'clock this afternoon, the fine had
not been paid, neither was Mr. Card
well In Jail. His client, however, In
default of the Increased bond, again
languished behind bars.
Knew IMni Instantly.
Sheriff Sperlock testified on the
Rtand that he recognized "Clark as
Summers the moment he saw htm at
breakfast In the dining room of tho
Roseburg Hotel this morning. Sper
lock explained that he often heard
Summers preach in TexaB and had
met him innumerable times on the
street or at residences.
"Are yon certain the defendant Is
Summers," queried Attorney Card-
well on cross-examination.
"I am positive," replied the wit
ness, with emnhAsts.
J. B. Mnssle. the father, so It Is
alleged, of "Clark's" so-called wife at
Gardiner, d!d not accominny Hper
lock here from Throtk morion, ni
expected. Ill health, attending his
advanced age, would not permit him
to make such a long trip. He told
Sperlock, however, that If his erring
daughter so desired she could return
to her father's home. This fact will
be communicated by Serlock to the
woman probably today or tomorrow
Parrott. Corrolorled.
In every material letali, Sheriff
Sperlock corroborated Jack Parrott'a
testimony of last Thursday. He toh'
tne minister s desertion of his wifi
d three children in Texas and ol
elopement with Bessie Mnssle
I who was his church organist. He nl
so stated that Summers Joined the
Masonic Lodge at Throckmorton li
the spring of 1904. but was expelled
after his elopement In tho same year.
Sperlock produced the olllcial requi
sition for Summers, Issued upon the
Governor of Oregon by the Governor
of Texas, also the original indictment
against the accused man and an ex
cellent photograph of him. Sperlock
will not present the extradition pnp
ers to the governor, of course, until
nfler the testimony of Rev. T. B.
Ford has been given.
The desire of the defense to gel
the testimony of Rev. Ford is prompt
ed by a letter which he wrote to
"Clark," and which was Introduced
In evidence. Rev. Ford, who former
ly lived In Toxos, says In the letter
that he "Is glad to say that he Mite
defendant) Is Clark and not Sum
mers;" that he "knows the two Rev.
Summers." In connection with this
phase of the case. Sheriff Sperlock
stated that he knew anothor Kev.
Summers in Texas, but that he In no
way looks like the man on trial. The
other Rev. Summers, reforred to by
Kev. r-ora, is neitoved by the state
to be a minister who wns born in
Coos county and has resided there all
of hlB life a man whom Ford prob-
auiy met while on the circuit as sup
erintendent of this district. Whether,
inererore, Kev. Ford can give any
testimony that will shake the dam
aging evidence produced by the stnte
is problematical. ,
Rev. M ire's Testimony.
Rev. Wire's testimony dealt ex
clusively with the movements of the?
accused man during Mb residence In
Oregon. He produced a certificate
showing that "Kev. George Clark"
nan been transferred from the South
Methodist Church In Texns to the
church In the north. This document
dated as far buck as 1900, four years
nerore Hummers Is alleged to have
lied from Throckmorton. Hev. Wire
admitted on cross-examination, how
ever, Hint he had made no effort to
ascertnin whether the certificate wns
genuine in all respects and that he
had seen no other documents or let
ters showing the holder to be "Kev
Clark." Ho said that "Clark" told
mm nis wife's maiden name was
Elizabeth Massle, but he had often
heard him address hor as "Bessie.
This woman, he stnted, told him her
father was John Massle, of Dallas.
Texas, and that both of her paronts
were dead. The witness attested his
knowledge of this falsehood on part
of the woman by slating that ho had
received a letter from Miss Massic's
father, acquainting him with the fact
of her elopement with Summers, and
asking llov. Wlro to give his daugh
ter proper enre. Summers was re
rerred to In the letter in very tin
complimentary terms.
Masonry Invoked.
An Interesting hit of testimony
came out. when the witness wns ox
plaining the process of Investigation
Into. "Clark's" past life nftor Jack
Parrott made his charges at Gar
diner. As the Accused man claimed
to be a member of the Masonic
lodge, J. S. Gray, who Is also a mem
ber of that order, volunteered lo
Kev. Wire to examine "Clark" Mnson-
ically. Seeing Mr. Gray afterwnrds,
Rev. Wire asked him about the ex
amination.
It was very unsatisfactory,"
piled Mr. Gray: "I couldn't even find
out when or where he joined the
order."
Adultery Light Crime.
If Rev. Clark Is proven beyond nny
doubt to be Rev. Summers and is
taken back to Texas for trial, he
will suffer more for swindling for
which he has been Indicted, than if
placed on trial for adultery. In ex
amining Texns criminal reports, Dis
trict Attorney Brown found thnt the
penalties for swindling have ranged
from 2 to 7 years' imprisonment In
the en!tetitiary. Out of about 20
case of adultery, however, the highest
penally wor a fine of $200, while In
the majority of the cases Ihe penalty
was a fine of $;0. A decided con
trast, In the eyes of Texns Justice, is
shown In cases of horse stenllng.
where the penalty ranges as high as
0 years imprisonment.

TIIIO Nil ITU CHINAMAN.
Miss Mary McDowell, of the Uni

observing a girl who was operating
an unusually heavy and Intricate ma
chine In n large hardware factory In
an Ohio city.
"Strong, clever girl," remarked I
Miss McDowell, or words to that'
effect.
"She's doubled tho output of that -mnchiuu,"
said the superintendent. I
"How did she get such a good
Job?' asked Tviiss McDowell. (
"Her rather," Bald tho supt n

"How much?" said MIkb McDowell,

"'Half," Bald the superintendent.'
