Then there were a great many t'isgruntied Democrats who were chagrined because Parker was nom inated, and they voted with the Social ists. This year they went back to the Democratic party and voted for Bryan. I count that we have made a gain in the actual Socialist vote." , Heavy Gain in Milwaukee. MILWAUKEE. Nov. 5.

The taking of testimony In the third trial of Abraham Ruef, former political boss of this city, on one of the several score of bribery In dictments against him, will be commenced before Superior Judge ljawlor tomorrow. After ten weeks' work, during which time more than 1400 veniremen were sum moned, new record in criminal cases, the twelfth man to complete the Jury, was secured and sworn In today. Jury Completed. The Jury as accepted Is as follows: John Anderson, builder'; William S. Har rison, merchant; Timothy Sullivan, con tractor; John Beuttler, butcher; Alexan der Bond, real estate; Charles A. Roller, retired; William J. O'Leary, no business; Dennis Murphy, retired; George M. Shil ling manufacturer; Joseph O'Brien, real estate; James McNamara, retired; William Oakley, retired contractor. The work of getting a Jury was begun August 26. The transcript of the exami nation of the veniremen covers 6000 pages, containing 1,375,000 words and if printed would make two volumes the size of the Bible. The cost of the transcript alone, preliminary to the actual trial, is about 15000. The specific charge upon which Ruef will be tried this time is the bribing of cx-Supervisor John J. Furey, to vote for a trolley franchise for the United Rail roads, which was granted to the street railway company soon after the disaster of April 18, 1906. . Opening Statement Made. After hearing the contentions of coun sel. Judge Ljawlor denied the application of the defense ' for the exercise of addi tional peremptory challenges. The Indict ment was then read and Assistant District Attorney Heney began the opening state ment for the prosecution. Judge ilurasky today denied the motion to set aside the Indictments against Frank J. Murphy and A. S. Newburgh. charging them with attempting to bribe John M. Kelley, a venireman on the panel from which a Jury was to be selected to try Abraham Ruef. Murphy and Newburgh were two of Ruefs attorneys. Tomorrow Judge Murasky will hear the argument upon the demurrers to the Indictments. utes later the lawyers for the defend ants were making the customary mo tions for a new trial, for ball and for permission to take an appeal to the Cir cuit Court of Appeals. Prisoners Go to Tombs. Judge Hough said that he would hear the motions tomorrow morning, when' the prisoners are to be arraigned be fore him to be sentenced. He then dis missed the Jury. Morse and Curtis were accompanied as far as the Tombs prison by their wives. There has been wide Interest In the Joint trial. It was brought out In the testimony that Morse had made large loans from the bank through dummies, and that President Curtis had enabled him to do so. The money thus obtained was used to finance the Morse ice pools and steamship operations. Blacks Camera Fiend's Eye. After the Jury had retired, upon re ceiving further instructions, Mrs. Cur tis, who had been listening intently to Judge Hough's Instructions, burled her face in her hands and began to sob. Mrs. Morse, the wife of the other defendant, hurried to the side of the weeping wo man and placing her arms around her, endeavored to reassure her that every thing was all right for both defendants. The tedium of waiting was relieved for a time early this afternoon when a newspaper photographer attempted to take a snapshot of Charles W. Morse and two ladles who accompanied him, when he was leaving the courtroom for luncheon. Just as the camera man was about to snap the shutter, Morse sprang at him, seized the camera, smashed It and gave the photographer a black eye. United States District Attorney Stim son said that according to his compu tation the prisoners had been convicted on 64 counts, all of which were com bined In the charges of misappropria tion of funds and making false entries in the books of the bank. The latter charge also inoluded the charge of making false reports to the Controller of the Currency. Tonight Curtis was hoping for a sus pended sentence because of the aid he had given to the Government attorneys.

MORSE AND CURTIS GUILTY (Continued From First PaRe.j v Foreman John Elder was reading the verdict, and their wives eat near them, leaning forward in tense attitude to catch every word. "We , have agreed upon a verdict In the case of both defendants," said the foreman in a subdued voice. "On the charge of conspiracy we find them not guilty." A look of relief came to the faces of the prisoners and their wives, but It lasted only a moment, for Mr. Elder continued' "On the charge of misapplication of the funds of the tjank we find both de fendants guilty. On the charge, of mak ing false entries In the books of the bank we find both defendants guilty. In the case of Alfred H. Curtis the Jury wishes to make a strong recommenda tlpn to the mercy of the court." Morse Shows Disappointment. A stifling sob of relief escaped Mrs. Curtis as she heard the recommenda tion for mercy for her husband. Curtis took the verdict like a stole, but Morse was unable to conceal his disappoint ment, while his wife showed no signs of emotion. She kept her eyes -on her husband, forgetting herself. There -was a momentary hush in the courtroom. This was broken by a buzz of excited conversation and a few min- Police Arrive to Find Men With Re volvers in Separate Rooms, RENO, Nev., Nov. 5.
