Is probably one of tbe most remark
able papers ever addressed to a Cal
ifornia court the prosecution In the
flan Francisco bribery-graft cases to
day filed with the Supreme Court a
petition for a re-hearing of the de
cision of the Court of Appeals In
which ex-Mayor Kugeno Bchinttz and
the former political boss, Abraham
Ituef, were virtually held to be guilt
less o f extortion, tbe conviction of
the former reversed und tbe plea of
guilty by Ruef practically nullified.
Tbe petition openly criticizes tbe
Court of Appeals for Its decision and
charges that the court by Its act had
virtually legalized blackmail In tbe
state.
Tbe appeal Is signed by Attorney-
General U. A. Webb, Francis J.
Heney, W illiam H. Langdon, Charles
W. Cobb and Joseph Dwyer. The pe
tition concludes:
We ask for a rehearing because
the decision, with the greatest re
spect to the court that rendered it
and to this court Is:
1. Fallacious In Its logic.
2. Devoid of reason to support It.
3. Unsupported by the authorities
cited.
4. Diametrically opposed to high
authorities, which we cited In our
briefs but which are unnoticed by
tbe opinion.
