HIS RETINUE OF GUNMEN Accused Briber's Lawyers Spend Whole Day In Denunciation of Heney's Methods and Denial of Crime Is Proved. SAN FRANCISCO, June 15. Analysis of testimony artd reviews of evidence came to an end today when A. A. Moore senior counsel for Patrick Calhoun, in augurated the latter half of the argu ment upon the charge of bribery against ainoun. Alex. King, of Atlanta, Ga. had devoted near'y five hours to a dts passionate survey of the case from the standpoint of the defendant and con cluded In time to give Mr. Moore two hours for his introduction. standing squarely in front of Assistant District Attorneys Francis J. Heney and John O'Gara, Mr. Moore turned to look at them when his remarks, tinged with the extreme of sarcasm and hitterneaa woo first directed to the payment of the chief prosecutor s omce expenses by Rudolph Spreckels and then to extracts from Mr. O'Gara's address of yesterday. Seats in the courtroom were at a premium, and as the number of spectators increased inrougn lavor or relaxed vigilance on the part of the notice doors, the atmosphere within grew "ciioo anu aiming. Directs Attack at Heney. Mr. Moore opened with a declaration that the defendant had answered ready on 40. occasions following the return of seven indictments against him in 1907, and that he had once been re fused a hearing because, as he said, "the nirea prosecutor, who works for fame or glory or money, or all. had chosen to let James L. Gallagher, his chief witness, leave the state." After a review of the 1urv sv-Ktem VTi- Moore said: "This defendant stands, bold, confi dent and upright, willing to take his rights and anxious to have them. I was sorry to note in Mr. O'Gara's dis course the tendency of the prosecution to claim that the rich are oppressing the poor, that streets are stolen and bribery committed, and that you should therefore convict this defendant. It was unworthy and the poorest jockey ing. Ana wnen he turned to us and said "no one of that crowd is fit to rub the shoes of Francis J. Heney," it made my gorge rise. It was something no prosecutor should have said. The poor est bootblack ln this city is well quali fied to Diacken Mr. Heney s shoes, or rub his head, if occasion should arise. "Raucous Roarings" of Heney. 'Any case that has to depend on matter so insulting to any man, so ser vile and so indecent in its reference, is a rotton and bogus case, that needs must fill the avenues of this court with gumshoe men and pistol men and hatchet men. such as those who sit be hind Mr. Heney. . Time was when this would not have happened in a court of justice, when there was no such indication of hate or malevolence against a defendant. Time was, too. when the District Attorney did not snarl and indulge in raucous roar ings, did not fix a dead line over which no man might step and live, did not enter court with a retinue of gunmen and did not tell his opponent that he would get wnat was coming to him. - One Citizen Prosecutes Another. "This is the first time in history that a prosecuting officer has been appointed to office by a person with property in terests at stake and has served without pay to prosecute another citizen. The evidence shows that he and his partners received 62,000 from this patron, and that Mr. Heney individually received J23.000 in two years for office expenses, if you like but $23,000 is $23,000. Unfortunately, if honorable, more humble members of the profession pay their own office ex penses." Mr. Moore is expected to consume to morrow's session of court and will be fol lowed by Mr. Heney. The case probably will be submitted to the jury "Friday. Mr. King's address was quickly di rected to a review of the testimony and he began by attacking the prose cution's motive in commenting on Tirey L. Ford's failure to testify for the de fendant. "Who alone has been calling the witnesses in this case?" he asked. "If Ford, as they say, could have swept away all this suspicion, why did they not call him here? The defendant has taken the position that he did not have to call witnesses, and should he dis criminate, calling a witness on one is sue and failing to do so on another?" Mr. King undertook to tear down every detail of the theoretical fabric construct ed by the prosecution. No Proof Ruef Got Money. ' "Where is the proof that Ruef ever got this money from Ford?" he asked. "Gal lagher did not even know the amount Where is the proof that the money was put to the use you are asked to believe? It may have been used in the affairs of the .company that cannot be disclosed tc the knowledge of the corporation's pow erful enemies. Beyond inferences, there is nothing to show where this money went and for what it was used. Every, thing about the conduct of Ruef, Ford and the defendant is consistent with the theory that the money went elsewhere."

But finally reading of the food results of the Cuticura Kemediea, determined to try them. I can truth fully say I was more than surprised, for I bought only a dollar and a half's worth of the Cuticura Remedies (Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills), and they did more good than all my doctors' medi cines I had tried, and in fact entirely cured him. I will send you a photo graph taken when he was fifteen months old and you can see his face is perfectly clear of the least spot or scar of any thing. If I ever have this trouble again, I will never think of doctoring but will send for the Cuticura Remedies at once. As it is, I would never think of using any other than Cuticura Soap for my babe.
