FOR CALHOUN MEN

Emissaries of Defense to
Help Heney.
LAWYERS STORM ALL DAY
Defense Strive to Statu Oat Evidence
Counteracting: Monroe's Story.
Effort to Implicate Cal
houn In Thefts.
BAN P-RAICCISCO. May it. A tor
rent of legal eloquence was turned
loose In the trial of Patrick Calhoun
today when John Helm, once a detec
tive In the employ of the United Rail
roads, waa called upon to relate the
details of an alleged attempt to prevent
his appearance aa a wltnesa against
Calhoun. During a period of two hours
the courtroom echoed with the spirited
arguments of prosecution and defense,
and at times the personal equation en
tered so strongly into the debate that
the intervention of Judge William P.
I-a wlor was necessary to restore the
customary decorum of the proceedings.
Set Trap for Calhoun's Men.
Helms, who was under examination,
had told of visits made to hla ranch in
Trinity County by two men who are
alleged to have been emissaries of the
defense, and Mr. Heney attempted to
show that Helms, with the authoriza
tion of the District Attorney of this
county, had invited the offer of a bribe
for the purpose of entraplng any one
making such an attempt. Alexander
King, Stanley Moore and John J. Bar
rett, attorneys for the defense. Inter
posed many objections to the testimony
of Helms.
Mr. Heney"s questions brought out
that Helms had conferred with District
Attorney W. H. Langdon and with O.
Burns, special agent of the prosecution.
Early In the day Alonzo J. Munroe.
an attorney of Eureka, had testified
that he sent Wlnneld S. Lamb, a ranhc
er, to Helms' residence to carry out In
structions transmitted to Munroe by W.
H. Metson. an attorney who has repre
sented officials of the United Railways
In recent proceedings connected with
the Calhoun .case. Mr. Heney. In the
effort to establish the theory of a con
spiracy, to which Calhoun and William
M. Abbott are alleged to have been par
ties, then reviewed a large portion of
the testimony, declaring that reports
stolen from the offices of an agent of
the District Attorney had been placed
in the defendant's hands through Inter
mediaries. Defied to Implicate Calhoun.
Alexander King and Stanley Moore, of
counsel for the defense, challenged Mr.
Heney to produce any testimony to that
effect, and the prosecutor promised to
do so. Mr. King objected to many con
structions placed on testimony by Mr.
Heney, declaring that the packages ln
troduved in evidence contained no docu
ments stolen from the office of W. J.
Burns; that Calhoun had never received
a stolen report from any agent of the
defense; that there was not a line of
evidence tending to connect the defend
ant with -lelms, and that there was
nothing before the Jury In the nature
of a charge against W. II. Metson.
"further." said Mr. King. "If the Dis
trict Attorney had in possession anything
relating to the prejudices of Jurors he
waa bound by his sworn duty to furnish
the defendant with copies of those re
ports." Anything to Escape Prison.
"t society Is to bo at the mercy of
men who have enough money and who
are willing to take chances." said Heney,
"then let us dispense with our pretense
of laws. Experience has shown that,
when a defendant Is facing the peniten
tiary, he does not hesitate at the bribery
of Jurors or witnesses who may be in
position to assist him to liberty."
Judge Lawlor finally deferred for future
decision the question Involving Helms'
further testimony and the trial was ad
journed until next Tuesday.
Munroe. in his testimony, said he un
derstood tnat He.ms was under arrest
on his ranch In connection with some
forestry matters and waa being taken to
ireka under arrest, and that he was
requested to see that Helms was advised
of his rights, legally defended and not
"sweated." He denied that Mr. Metson
ever suggested that an should do any
thing luegal or suppress testimony. He
denied knowledge that Winfleld 8. Lamb
had been concerned in the murder of
Erickson.
Talk of Facile Swearers.
While evidence was being taken as to
the raids on the United Railroads' offices,
Mr. Heney made a remark about Earl
Rogers' conduct on those occasions,
which provoked Mr. Rogers to say:
"You cannot prove that, even by your
facile swearers."
"They cannot be any more facile In
swearing than you have been through
your Luther Brown," retorted Mr.
Heney.
Later Mr. Heney objected that Mr.
Rogers was attempting to make a farce
of the trial by laughing and Jesting with
witnesses.
Hugh O'Neill, the attorney, who Is al
leged to have Interviewed Helms and who
disappeared, has been subpenaed by the
prosecution. ,
