SAN FRANCESCO. May 14. Charles 8.
Wheeler, attorney for Rudolph Spreckels.
was called to the stand by the prosecution
In the trial of Patrick Calhoun today. Hia
testimony, like that of ex-Mayor James
D. Phelan, was directed, according: to
the statement of Assistant District At
torney Honey, to the refutation of the
Implied and Insinuated" charge of the
defense that Mr. Spreckels, Mr. Phelan
and others had engaged in a conspiracy
to oust the United Railroads from the
streets of San Francisco wita a view to
obtaining the franchises for themselves.
Purpose or Municipal Company.
Und-?r the Interrogation of Mr. Heney
Mr. IV'heeler told of his appearance be
fore ihe street committee of the Board
of Supervisors In 1905 in relation to the
petition of the railroad company for an
overhead trolley franchise on Sutter
afreet. Mr. Wheeler's legal argument
against the petition was related by Mr.
Phelan when he was on the stand and
was gone over again Ty Mr. Wheeler
today. The witness also told of his draw
ing up the Incorporation articles of the
Municipal Street Railways Company and
of his subscription of $10,000 to that
project.
The cross-examination by Earl Rogers
was construed by Mr. Heney .as a chal
lenge of the motives of the incorporators
of the Municipal Company. Mr. Wheeler
declared that he had taken no part in
any discussion of the project until "after
Mr. Calhoun had Intimated his intention
of trolleytzlng Market streef," and Insisted
It was only to combat that plan that the
opposition company wa Incorporated.
Why It Never Built Road.
"Mr. Wheeler, did the Municipal Com
pany ever lay a foot of track or a single
brick of a powerhouse?" asked Mr.
Rogers.
"It did not," said the witness.
"Thst .is all." said Mr. Rogers.
"Why did not the Municipal Company
lay a foot of track or a single brick of
a powerhmme? Kxplain that to the
Jury," said Mr. Heney. The latter part
of the question brought an Immediate ob
jection from the defense, but, holding
that the motives of the witness had been
questioned. Judge Lawlor permitted It to
be answered.
Under a running fire of objections and
arguments, the witness told the Jury that
the opposition had been planned solely
for the purpose he had already stated;
that it was specifically stated In the ar
ticles of Incorporation that the company
should get the Supervisors to offer such
franchises as It sought at public auction
and should seek to have inserted in
those franchises a provision that the city
could buy up the road at any time it
MW fit.
"We fixed upon the cost of construc
tion, the actual outlay, plus S per cent
Interest, es the price at which the city
could secure the property of the corpora
tion at any time." said Mr. Wheeler.
"Then the Are came. The United Rail
roads procured Its franchises and we did
not see our way clear to go ahead."
The examination was not concluded,
Mr. Rogers stating that he had many
questions to ask, when court adjourned.
Refutes Conspiracy Charge.
In the face of objections. Mr. Heney
drew from Richard Cornelius, president
and business agent of the Carmen's
Union, a refutation of the point which
fhe defense sought to make, that the
strike of 1906 wu Incited by Rudolph
Ppreckels, Fremont Older and others.
Counsel for the defense termed these
questions "an attempt to rehabilitate the
reputations of Mr. Spreckels. Mr. Phelan
and Mr. Heney." A declaration by Mr.
Heney that the prosecution proposed to
refute the insinuation that Mr. Spreckels
incited the strike by putting him on the
stand and allowing the defense to "ques
tion him from his birth down to the
present ttrm," brought forth the retort
from Alexander King, of the defense:
"What has the Spreckels family to do
with this case? Whenever the name is
mentioned Mr. Honey goes off Into a dis
course and gets angry."
Saw Ruef Get "Big Bundle."
Robert II. Perry, a special agent em
ployed by Tetectlve W. J. Burns to
shadow Abraham Ruef in 1906. was next
called. He told of the movements of Ruef
on July SI and August 23. 1906. the day
on which Tlrey I.,. Ford, general counsel
of the United Railroads, withdrew large
sums from the mint in currency, the
money which the prosecution alleges was
paid to the Supervisors by the direction
of the defendant. Perry said that on
August 2S Ruef went to the railroad
company's office at the carbarns and.
after a short stay Inside, came out and
hurried to his automobile with something
Dunaisd up under his coat. Ford came to
the door of the office as Ruef drove awav.
Cross-examination by L. Bylngton. of
the defense, reverted to a statement
made on direct examination that some
one had appeared to take Ford's picture
as he stood In the doorway after Ruef s
departure. The identity of this man was
the cause of a wrangle, but was not es
tablished. Heney Ridicules Fly-Specks.
Much of the cross-examination was de
vote to a minute scrutiny of a diary
which Mr. Perry kept while shadowing
Ruef. Mr.- Bylngton noted every blot or
blurred figure or letter on the page re
ferring to Ruers visit to the railroad of
fice and sought to show that the witness
had contradicted himself in stating when
he had made the entries.
Mr. Heney ridiculed this impeachment
by turning haphazard to various pages
to show similar blots and erasures, and
sternly demanding of the witness what
he meant by endeavoring to hide certain
words or against whom he was conspir
ing when ho put "fly-specks" on this or
that sheet.
