Bulgaria declared its indepen

that he did not wish to be understood as
casting any Imputation upon Ruef or
making the intimation that there was
any danger Of his fleeing from the juris
diction of the court, but he had made
up his mind fully to exercise the discre
tionary authority vested in him and de
cided to order Ruef into custody unless
some other satisfactory arrangement
could be made.
Conceal Facts From Jury.
Judge Lawlor suggested that Ruefs
sureties select some man satisfactory to
the court, to be in constant ' attendance
upon Ruef and be responsible for his ap
pearance; but at the same time it waa to
be understood that this would not re
lieve his bondsmen of any liubility. The
judge submitted this to "counsel for both

inconveniencing the defendant during the
trial and preferred some such arrange

lieving that It could be effected without
the facts becoming public. He especial
ly desired that the jury should not know
it. in order that Ruefs position might not
in any way be prejudiced in the mind of
the 12 men who will pass upon his guilt

The judge asked that the attorneys look

EXAlVIINER FEARS
ATTACK OF MOB
Office Barricaded and Guards
Posted, Because Crowd
Is Angry.
SUDDEN CHANGE OF FRONT
In Terror of Being Mobbed, Man
agers Abandon Itidicule and Vrge
Diligent Prosecution ot
Haas and Grafters.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. Nov. 14.
(Special.) Hearst's Examiner compo
sition and editorial rooms were barri
caded last night and guarded by armed
men. as the managers or the newspaper
I feared that a mob woula be formed to
attack and clean out the offices. 1-or
several . months the Examiner has
printed daily cartoons ridiculing F. J.
Heney. Rudolph Spreckels. W. J. Burns
and the entire -graft prosecution, and
each day at the bottom of its editorial
column it has run the. legend about
the time since the prosecution began.
Thus Friday morning it ran the line:
"It is now 755 days since the prose
cution began and no one is in -the pen
itentiary yet."
Cartoons "Knock" Prosecution.
The caricatures in the Examiner
were drawn by "Bud" Fisher, a former
Chliagd boy. who' is very clever. They
represented Air. Heney In many ludi
crous plights and always' refererd to
him as "Beany." Mr. Spreckels was
caricatured as "Pickles, a prize booby
whose leg was pulled by Heney and
Burns." while Sir. Burns was held up
to ridicule as "Tabasco, hot stuff of
the detective force."
These cartoons were so clever and
they hit off the weaknesses of the
men so artfully that the prosecution
complained bitterly of them, but the
Examiner persisted. The paper also
never omitted any opportunity to op
pose the prosecution. When the Ap
pellate court knocked out the convic
tion of Schmitz on a technicality, the
Examiner played this up. It never
missed an opportunity to enforce the
point that Rudolph Spreckels was In
fluenced by corrupt motives in back
ing the graft prosecution, and that' the
methods employed by Mr. Heney could
not succeed.
Crowds Turn Wrath on Hearst.
So relentless waa. this' opposition that
the public finally came to believe that
Hearst really desired to see the prosecu
tion fail and the grafters escape pun
ishment. Therefore, when Haas shot Mr.
Heney. the local managers of the Ex
aminer felt much as they did when Mc
Kinley was shot by Czolgolsz, and as
the crowds in the street began, to rave
about the Examiner's attacks on Mr.
Heney. they decided that the better part
of wisdom was to prepare for attacks.
As the offices are down on Folsom street,
near the water front, the mob could have
gutted them before the police could have
reached the scene. The first excitement
calmed after dinner and no organized at
tempt was made to ,deal out vengeance
on the Examiner. f
Changes Tune Completely.
In this morning's Examiner, in the
same editorial columns where Mr. Heney
and the graft prosecution so often have
been held up to scorn or savagely lam
pooned, this curious editorial waa
printed:
"Quick justice for Heney's would-be
assassin quick justice for the grafters.
"The attempt to kill Assistant District
Attorney Heney by an ex-convict at the
moment when Heney had brought Ruef
to the prison door and seemed to be in
the very act of thrusting the arch
grafter into the place where he belongs.
Is one of the most regrettable occurrences
ever witnessed in San Francisco or any
other city. It is shocking and lament
able, but it is gratifying to know that
Mr. Heney is not mortally wounded. The
physicians hope to save his life and
every good citizen fervently hopes that he
will be spared. No motive is impelling
enough to warrant the use of a pistol in
court. San Francisco is a law-abiding
community.
Quick and Speedy Punishment.
"And there must be quick and speedy
punishment for the would-be assassin
quick and speedy punishment for the
boodlers and grafters as well. The speed
with which punishment is meted out to
the man who struck down Heney will
blazon to the world the speed with which
punishment shall be meted out to the
grafters who made the name of San
Francisco a by-word the world over-.
"The trial of the grafters and boodlers
must go down must go on to the end.
Heney's place must be taken by good
lawyers and the case proceeded with Just
where Heney left it.
"Ruef'a trial must not be halted, rie
is at the prison door now. Push him
and keep him there. Punish the would
be assassin quickly and punish the bood
lers and grafters as well. Let there be
no delay In this public duty."
SAYS SISTER PAID GILES
Sirs. Dunphy Finds Defender in
Woman Who Saw- Transaction.
MISSOULA. Mont.. Nov. 14. Two days
of constant effort on the part of news
paper men of this city Tesulted early
today in the identifying of the sister of
Martha Maybel Dunphy. mentioned in
a dispatch from Chicago as playing a
prominent part in connection with the
accusation of the larceny of J6000 worth
of Jewelry and securities made against
the latter by Charles. F. Giles. Mrs.
Dunphy's sister is the wife of a promi
nent business roan of Missoula, but re
quested that her name be withheld from
publication. She spoke feelingly of the
case and upheld Mrs. Dunphy in every
way.
"It is an attempt on the part of Giles
to break up my sister's home," she said.
"Mrs. Dunphy borrowed the monay of
Giles and gave him Jewelry worth sev
eral thousand dollars to secure the loan.
Mv sister gave Gilea $:S every week until
she had paid the debt and it was right
here in Missoula, at my house, that he.
returned to her the Jewels and I am sure
that everything was settled then. I am
positive that Mrs. Dunphy does not owe
anything to Giles."

On a table in the room where the
three were found were several empty
bottles and glasses. Penny, It is as
serted, secured the key to the boat
house yesterday. He says he and Rey

months, and that they had Invited her
there to have a social time, and that
only one bottle of beer and as much
cider was- drunk, and that the girl
did not drink at all. Chief of Police

death was due purely to accident. He
added that there was no evidence that

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 14. The fol
lowing telegram, supplementing; one to
Mr. Heney, which has not yet been
made public, has been received from
President Roosevelt by itudolph Spreck
els: "White House. Nov. 14. Rudolph
Spreckels, San Francisco: I am inex
pressibly shocked at the attempted as
sassination of Heney, and most ear
nestly hope he will recover. The in
famous character of the would-be as
sassin, no less than the infamous char
acter of the deed, call attention in a
striking way to the true character of
the forces against which Heney and
you and your associates have been
struggling.
"Every decent American who has the
honor and interest of the country at
heart should join, not only in putting a
stop to the wave of violent crime, of
which this man's act Is but one of the
symptoms, but also 1n stamping out
the heinous corruption .in which men
like this would-be assassin are bred
and flourish, and that can only be
done by warring, as Heney has warred,
relentlessly, against every man who is
guilty of corrupt practices, without
any regard to his social standing, to
his prominer.ee In the world "of poli
tics or in the world of business.
"I earnestly hop that Heney will re
cover, and I give utterance to what I
know would be Heney's wish -when I
say and earnestly hope that, whether
he recover or not. there be 'no faltering
in the work in which Heney has been
so gallant and efficient a leader.

Bonaparte Says Country Needs Men
ot His Type.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 14. Attorney-General
Bonaparte, who was here today, said
of the attempt upon the life of Francis J.
Heney :
"I was shocked to hear of the attempt
ed murder of Mr. Heney. and deem it a
matter of the gravest public Interest that
his life should be spared. His services
have been of great value to the Depart
ment of Justice, and he is emphatically a
man to be esteemed because of the ene
mies he has made. His talents and cour
age made him a terror to evildoers, so
that It is not really surprising If an at
tempt has been made to take his life. I
know of no one who has shown more
hatred to iniquity or done more effective
work In making the way of the trans
gressor hard. American society sorely
needs more men of his type, and can ill
afford to lose one like him."
