SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 4. The case
against Tirey 1 Ford, chief counsel of
the United Railroads and ex-Attorney
General of California, accused of bribery
of ex-Supervisor Thomas F. Lonergan,
went to the Jury at 6:25 o'clock tonight.
Assistant District Attorney Heney con
cluded the closing argument for the pros
ecution, a speech of great power and
effect, at 6:0 o'clock. He spoke for two
hours, following Earl Rogers, who, in a
brilliant and vigorous argument, closed
for the defense. Judge Lawlor began the
reading of his charge to the Jury Ave
minutes after Mr. Heney finished. In
cipient applause was quelled a score of
times, and once, when Mr. Heney flashed
a stunning answer at Mr. Bylngton.
who had interrupted him, the big crowd
broke into a storm of clapping. A bailiff
pointed out to the court the two men
who had shouted and Judge Lawlor had
them ejected.
After Judge Lawlor concluded his
charge, the jury was taken down stairs
to the courtroom of Judge Dunne to de
liberate. At 7:30. no verdict having been
reached and none belr.g in sight. Judge
Lawlor sent the 'Jury' to the ' Falrmount
Hotel for dinner and himself went to
his club, saying he could be found later
at the theater if the Jury had anything
to report. If no verdict ; should be
reached by 11:30, he said, the Jury would
be locked up for the night.
Denies Evidence Is Direct.
In resuming his argument for the de
fense, Albert A. Moore reminded the Jury
that the prosecution had not even at
tempted to introduce a word of direct
testimony connecting Ford with the com
mission of Uie crime, charged the brib
ing of Superi-isor Thomas F. Lonergan.
Mr. Moore stigmatized as a figment of a
distorted Imagination, In substance and
effect a downright lie, the accusation
that Ford bribed Reuf and Reuf
bribed Gallagher and Gallagher bribed
IS of his 17 fellow Supervisors.
asKea ir me attendant, a man
full of years and honor, were to be de
prived of his liberty and his character
and In effect, his life, by "such weak
halting. Inconclusive and suspiclonable
testimony as the prosecution has here
adduced, when Mr. Ford has been by no
evidence connected with the crime."
He repeated that the only accusatory
allegations against Ford in all the vast
bulk of the transcribed testimony were
these:
First That Ford drew a large amount
of money openly and publicly from the
Mint.
Second That Ford saw Ruef In the lat
ter's bathroom at his temporary quarters
Immediately after the Are.
Third That Gallagher, the confessed
perjurer, said that Ruef told him Ford
had given this money to him.
Rogers Appeals to Sentiment.
Moore finished at 11:10 o'clock and after
the usual morning recess of ten minutes
had been taken. Earl Rogers began the
closing argument for the defense. The
crowd In attendance was greater than
the seating capacity of the synagogue
and many people stood.
Mr. Rogers opened by painting an lm
passioned picture of the harrowing eondl
tions that existed In San Francisco im
mediately after the earthquake and Are,
He said that the first man to bring a
biscuit Into the smouldering city was
Thornwell Mullally; that Patrick Calhoun
was the first man to say: "My fortune
goes Into San Francisco; how about
yours?"; that George Chapman, then gen
eral manager of the United Railroads,
walked ihlmself into the grave going up
and down among the ashes of a ruined
metropolis feeding the hungry and
sheltering the homeless with the food and
under the roofs of the United Railroads
that "the first spadeful of dirt In the
rehabilitating of San Francisco was
turned by the United Railroads, which
carried the penniless populace free in
their cars until stopped by Rudolph
Spreckels from doing so, and then opened
their treasury to the relief corporation.
"And now." cried Mr. Rogers, lifting
his voice till it rang under the dome of
the painted tabernacle, "now their as
oclate, Tlrey L. Ford, who labored with
them and for you, side by side and
shoulder to shoulder, through days that
, tried men's souls and nights of darkness
WITH
ft
tentlary why? because Kudolph Spreckels
wants ihelr streetcar system for himself;
are you soing to stand for it?'-'
Lawyers Shout Contradictions.
Taking up "the case of Lonergan," Mr.
Rogers charged that his confession to the
San Francisco Examiner, secured "be
fore Mr. Spreckles got to him." a confes
sion that contradicts his story on the
stand was made under threat by the
Examiner to accuse him of "a hideous
crime" unless he "told the Examiner the
story of the Board of Supervisors skul
duggery." Assistant District Attorney O'Gara In
terrupted Mr. Rogers at this point with
the declaration that the newspaper In
cident did not happen until after Longer
gan had been before the grand Jury, and
that the insinuation that Lonergan had
revamped his testimony at the behest
of Mr. Spreckels was "deliberately and
unqualifiedly false."
The two lawyers thundered at each
other for several minutes. Mr. O'Gara
finally shoutin that. If Lonergan's con-
v X asm - "

fesslon to the Examiner was made under
threats and coercion, the story itself
should be viewed by honest men aa a lie.
All Testified TJnder Coercion.
Mr. Rogers snapped this upr replying
that under that reasoning the jury must
view the testimony of all the Supervisors
in this case as a web of lies, for every
one of them testified under the weight of
notorious coercion. Imposed by Mr.
Spreckels, Mr. Burns and Mr. Heney.
Mr. Rogers then requested a brief ad
journment, as he was obviously exhausted
by the vehemence of his pleading. His
request was granted.
Why Iid Not Ruef Testify?
Mr. Rogers, resuming at the afternoon
session, impressed upon the jury the ex
action of the law that the burden 01
proof is upon the prosecution, and that
the defendant must be acquitted unless
all of the testified circumstances are
consistent with his guilt and exclude be
yond a reasonable doubt his innocence.
He laid powerful, stress on the. failure
and refusal of the prosecution to make a
witness of Ruef after promising In its
opening statement to prove by the testi
mony of Ruef that Ford paid the $200,000
of bribe moneys to him.
Mr. Rogers demanded to know why. If
Patrick Calhoun desired to bribe the Su
pervisors, he did not transport the $200,000
here secretly, and so hide his tracks, in
stead of passing it publicly through the
Mint In broad daylight, and through the
Relief Corporation, at the time the most
pUDiic place In San Francisco, If not in
the country. He asked the jury why Mr.
Heney did not ''fulfill his boasted prom
ise' to show that this $200,000 was never
entered in the United Railroads books,
and continued: . .
When we brought our books here, Mr.
Heney sidestepped he evaded his promise
ha made no attempt to make good.
Says Heney Has Fallen Down.
If Mr. Heney Is going to get a conviction
by tracing paper money if he is going to
send a man to the penitentiary on the de
nominations of currency, perhajjs he will
be adroit enough to harmonise tor you the
testimony of his own .Mint, officials that
the .largest bills they gave General Ford
were gold certificates of the denomination
of $100 and the testimony of his own. immunity-bathed
Supervisors that they got
$300 bills.
They charge in the indictment, and sol
emnly in their opening statement promised
to prove that charge to you. that Tlrey L.
Ford gave and offered to Thomas F. Loner
gan a bribe. I defy them now to point to
one word of testimony Introduced in this
case In substantiation of that charge and
that promise. They've fallen down they
have not delivered the goods, yet they're
trying to collect a verdict from you Just
the same aa if they'd kept their pledge and
vindicated their damnable charge and
earned conviction at your hands.
In conclusion, Mr. Rogers demanded to
know where was the link connecting Ford
with Ruef. "It isn't here, he answered.
'They couldn't forge it, though they kept
the fires of their secret forge blazing
night and day."
Heney on Corruption.
In his closing argument Mr. Heney said
that the cause of corruption in municipal
government was the want of the criminal
element and public service corporations'
for something that they are not entitled
to under the law.
"They want money beloved money."
He continued:
And how shall It be easiest made by such,
oornorations as the United Railroads? All
you have to do Is to change & $20,000,000

tient says:

Why Ruef Was ot Called.
After summing up the evidence, Mr.
Heney explained why Abraham Ruef was
not placed on the witness stand by the
prosecution.
"It was. he said, "because we do not
trust him.
"You do not trust him," Interrupted
Mr. Bylngton. of the defense, "and he

Risked an Accident.
SENDS INSPECTOR ORDERS
Man Who Carried rittsburg Delega

License for 9 0 Days for
Taking Risks.
EVAN6VILLE, Ind., Oct, 4. (Spe
cial.) President Roosevelt has tele
graphed a peremptory order to United
States Inspector of Hulls 'Williams, of
this port, directing that the license
of the steamer Fred Hartweg be sus
pended immediately. The Hartweg is
a swift little Ohio River steamer and
carried the Pittsburg delegation down
the Mississippi on the notable journey
which ended at Memphis today.
The Hartweg yesterday gave its sis
ter steamers a chance to show their
speed, and ran past the -Mississippi,
upon which the President was guest of
honor. The license of the captain of
the Hartweg was suspended at once by
Mr. Williams. The message from the
Chief Executive follows:
Memphis, Oct. 4. On board TJ. S. 8.
Mississippi. Supervising Inspector of Ves
sels. BvansvlUe, Ind.: I direct-that the
license of the master or whoever is re
sponsible for the Fred Hartweg during
the present voyage be suspended at once
for 90 days. I wish this done by tele

cedure is possible. Colonel Sears can
give you the details of the misconduct,
which has been of a serious nature and
might have at any time caused an acci
dent to this boat as well as to other
boats. THEOOORE ROOSEVELT.
The steamer Fred Hartweg's home port
is Cairo and it is inspected at Evan svi lie.
While details are awaited from Col-'
onel Sears, it is .believed here that tho
President did not relish the sight of
another boat running past the one on
which he was.
The race In which the Hartweg par
ticipated yesterday was only of short
duration. She challenged the Alton,
upon which members of the Business
Men's League, of St. Louis, were guests
and showed a clean pair of heels. But
the Alton stuck to the smaller boat
tenaciously, and in the course of events
both the Alton and Hartweg passed

NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 4. The Im

by the strike of 8000 members of the
dock and cotton handlers' union.
The cotton handlers have arrayed
against them all the business ex
changes of New Orleans, which have
declared that the commercial life of
the port depends upon the outcome of
this strike. From 10,000 to 12,000 men
probably will be involved, because the
railroad freight handlers have served
notice that they will not work with
non-union men at the docks.

FRIENDS ADHERE TO IT
Well-Known Official Appears to
Have Fallen or Been Thrown

. pointed at Being Supplanted.
John D. Daly, United States Surveror
General for the State of Oregon, was
found dead at the foot of the stairway in
the Park-street entrance to the Selllng
Hlraeh building at 4 o'clock yesterday
morning. The body was found by P. Wal
ton, who was returning to his apartments
In the building, and who Immediately no
tified the police. When th deputies from
Coroner Flnley's office arrived on the
scene the Indications were that death was
due to accident, but later It has developed
that Mr. Daly may have been murdered
and his body left where it was found by
his as?allants.
Dr. Fred J. Ziegler, City Physician, ex
amined the body t.t the morgue yesterday
morning and found that death resulted
from a fracture of the skull near the
right temple. This fracture, according to
Dr. Zeigler, could hardly have resulted
from a fall, but was more likely made by
some blunt Instrument. The fracture Is
circular in shape, and 'is about three
quarters of an inch in diameter. If made
by a fall the fracture would have been
oblong and several Inches In length. Dr.
Ziegler says. The fact that Daly really
had no business In the building at that
hour In the morning also tends to support
the murder theory, for his presence there
has not yet been explained
Captain of Police Bailey began an In
vestigation last night on being Informed
of Dr. Ziegler's theory, but up to a late
hour last night had not reported prog
ress. When the body was found a piece
of the balustrade from the head of the
stairway was found near the body, and it
was thought that this might have been
used as a weapon, but there were no signs
of blood on it, nor was there any indica
tion of a struggle. From the position of
the body after falling such a distance it
is strange that the neck was not broken.
There were a number of contusions on
the head In addition to. he fracture men
tioned, but these may have resulted from
the body falling or being thrown down
the stairway.
The murder theory is scouted by 'Mr.
Daly's friends, who think that he wan
dered " Into the Selling-Hirsch building
while mentally unbalanced over the re
ceipt of a telegram to the effect that
President Roosevelt had decided not to
reappoint him.
Several days ago Mr. Daly, whose
term of office had expired, i
ceived news that he was not to
be reappointed by the President.
Brooding over the disappointment Is
thought to have been the indirect cause
of his death. Mr. Daly was 69 years of age
and his friends think that 'the unexpected
blow to his hopes unsettled his mind, In
which condition he wandered Into the
Selling-Hirsch building and met his
death. Mr. Daly had no reason to visit
the building at that hour of the morning.
Roosevelt Appointed Him.
John D. Daly was appointed to the po

four years ago by President Roosevelt,
and his term recently expired. He car-

Friends who saw him at 1 o'clock yester
day morning say that, while he was
rather depressed, he exhibited no marked
signs of mental trouble. Nothing Is
known of his actions after this until he
was heard in the hallway of the Selling
Hirsch building, about 1:30 o'clock, by
Mrs. P. Walton, wife of the Oregon Hotel
chef. She heard Mr. Daly stumbling
about in the darkness for some time, and
finally heard him fall down the stairs.
When Mr. Walton reached home at 3
A. M., his attention was called to the
peculiar case, and he investigated, find
ing the body, crushed and cold, at the
foot of the steps. It had fallen fully 80
feet.. Death had occurred a long time
previously, according to City Physician
Zeigler, who was called by the police.
Deputy Coroner Flnley removed the body

MURDER CASE.
BAKER CITY. Or., Oct. 4. (Spe
cial.) J. W. LUlard, uncle of
Steve Adams' wife, says he paid
Brown Federation money to testify
In behalf of Adams at Wallace and
later paid him $166, and that Brown
was in the employ of the Federation
at the time of the murder.
Three men were engaged in the
murder, one of whom wore a kimono
to disguise nlmself aa a woman. The
kimono was bought In Baker City
the afternoon before the murder.
Five rapid gunshots, fired shortly
before 3 A. M. Friday, are reported
to have been exchanged by the po
lice with characters that refused to
bait near the Mayor's bouse, but the
police deny the story.
The woman suspected of aiding the
plotters Is Mrs. Charles Klnnlson.
The bloodhounds led un to the home
of her father-in-law, H. J. Klnnlson.
The woman Is a Federation sympa
thizer. The detectives and police say they
expect to make arrests shortly.
It has been established that the
tallest of the three men wore the
kimono- and he --beers a -striking re
semblance to a person known as a
Federation extremist, who has been
absent from the city for a long time.
The man In the kimono was seen by
at least four veracious persons walk
ing on the sidewalk leading past
Brown's house.
BAKER CITT, Or., Oct. 4. (Special. )
A network of facta and circumstances la
weaving- to encourage the belief that the
officers are following closely the dyna
mite murderers of Harvey K. Brown. In
dications point more strongly than ever
to Federation radicals as the assassins.'
Their motive seems to have been to de
stroy a man who they thought was play
ing them double or whose fate would be
a warning to . all foes of the Federation
who have not "had the fear of God put
in their hearts' as the miners have
often expressed it.
The network of evidence is tightening
around several local characters who are
known to be Federation extremists. That
they know they are suspected is realized
by the detectives and officers. Consid
erable evidence has been gathered, but
not enough yet for arrests, and now an
other anxious night has drawn Its blan
ket over the city for the troubled people
to sleep under.
Last night a gunshot encounter be
tween the Sheriff and bold characters,
the night before an attempt to kill the
bloodhounds In the county jail and
threats to demolish it these occurrences
are causing the people of Baker County
to wonder if tonight will bring forth an
other deed of terror.
Killed to Strike Terror.
The assertion of Mr. LUlard that he
paid Federation money to Brown for his
testimony in the Adams trial and that
Brown was in the service of the Federa
tion is borne out by Clarence Darrow,
legal counsel for the Federation officials,
and by Haywood that the miners re
garded him as a friend. But this is not
believed as a sure sign that the Federa
tion did not desire Brown's murder. De
tectives say that 'Brown or Mr. Suther
land, ex-Sheriff of Shoshone County,
lQttno, were; ma.rn.eu iur mivuKiiier. in or-
der to strike- terror into the hearts of the
Federation's foes and intimidate the jury
In the Pettlbone trial, next to be called in
Boise. Several attempts have been made
to kill Mr. Sutherland. Because Brown
had open town enemies in Baker City,
he is believed to have been chosen for
death. In order to give the world at large
the idea that they enacted the horror,
while foes of the Federation and jurors
would know better. A prominent anti
Federation man from Idaho said In Baker
City today that the miners always re
garded Brown as an enemy.
Skulkers Exchange Volley.
Mr. LUlard scouts the theory of Fed
eration murder. He is a well-known
sympathizer of that organization. He
is an uncle of Steve Adams' wife, and
Adams was arrested on his ranch by
Brown and James A. Panting, of this
city, led by Detective S. C. Thiel. Mr.
LUlard was in Baker City most of to
day. Lafct night's gun volley was ex
changed near Mayor Johns' residence
by a special Deputy Sheriff and per
sons who refused to halt at his com
mand shortly before S o'clock. Offi
cers tried to hush up the matter and
denied all knowledge of It, but too
