INFAMOUS ATTACK ON HENEY
SAX FRANCISCO. Cal., Nov. 14. Rndolph Spreckels, friend of
Francis J. Heney, tlny received the following telegram fr.m the presi
dent: "WASHINGTON, D. C Nov. 14. I am inexpresirMy locked at
the attempted asmasi-inntion of Heney and mst earnestly Im. that he
will recover.
"The infamous character of the would be asnin. no less than the
infamous character o- the d-ed tali "attention in a startling way to
the true character of the forces ag.-iinst which Heney anl you and your
associates have been struggling,
"Every decent mnn who honors and has the interest of the commu
nity at heart will join in putting a stop to the wave of crime, but also
in stamping out the hideous corruption in which men like this wonld
be assassin are bred and flourish.
"That can truly be done by warring as Heney has warred, relent
lessly, against every man who is guilty of corrupt practices without any
regard to his social standing, to his prominence in the world of poli
tics or in the world of biixiness.
I earnestly hope that lienor wi(l rcover, and I give utterance to
what I know would be Heney N wih when 1 say that I earnestly hope
that, whether he recovers or not. there will he no fnltering in the work
in which Heney hits heen'so efficient a leader.

BURNS SAYS
CRIME DUE TO
HIGHER UPS
Spreckels Lays the Crime
at the Door ol Hearst
and His Yellow Papers
Digs up McKinley's Death
(By Detective William J, Burns.)
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal,, Nov, 14.
The attempt to kill Francis J. Heney
last night was the result of a deliber
ate ploiit planned by the higher-ups.
This fellow Hans planned this attempt
ed murder for wooks. He practiced
shooting with his revolver in his house
for the last week, lie was urged os
It was a great elmnen for 4 ho ene
mies of the prosecution. Here was a
hi au who bore a grudge against Heney
because he was exposed in the Park
side case as an ex-couvict after ho had
made a desperate attempt to get on the
Rnef jury. He needed but little prod
ding mill goading by these eut-of-mght
murders. He soon decided to kill He
ney. T am sorry that T wait not in the court
room at the time of the shooting. This
man Haas is no crank, no rattle-brained
lunatic, but is cool-headed. It was
not his fault that he did not succeed
in instantly killing Heney.
Bums Was Warned.
A saloon mnn on Kearney street when
he heard of the shooting said in hear
ing of one of my men:
it serves the of a damn
well right. They onght to kill a few
more of them."
Only a week ago n received a letter
warning me" Ji .lik omit. The attempt
to kill me was to be made near my
house. I snw some of Rnef's plug-uglies
hanging around my resideace but
they fled when my men took their stand
by the house. We will use every en
deavor to connect this feiiow Haas
with the men who wero behind him, the
men who egged him on. Haas is a craf
ty criminal. He cvndes all answers to
questions as to who were egging him
on in this attempted assassination by
saying: (,T was alone. j
The graft investigation and prosecu-j
lion with all of its features will go
on. This is their second attempt to j
disrupt our work by murdering people!
connected with the movement, but they;
can't stop us. Ituef will go to the pen-;
itentiary. We hope many more with
him.

People of the neighborhood recall

The detectives found empty cartridge

Several of the bullet holes in the
