Taft said the attempt to deliver the

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct.. 30-The
jury that is to try Abraham Ruef on
a charge of bribery, which was yes
terday believed to have been com
pleted after weeks of effort, still lacks
a mmber. At a night session of court,
during which the arguments of the
attorneys several times grew heated,
Judge Lawlor discharged from the
box George H. Cross, who was yes
terday accused by Prosecutor F. J.
Heney of having obtained a saloon
license through the influence of Ruef.
Cross denied the impuattton, but at
the night session the records of the
police commission and the testimony
of witnesses convinced the court that
Cross was not an unprejudiced juror
and the challenge of the state was
allowed. ' , .
