San Francisco, Jan. , 11.- From his cell in' the county Jail, Abo Riief today began his campaign to wring an abso lute immunity contract, signed and at tested by a Judge of the superior court, from the .forces of the grsft prosecu tion, .V-.1. ,v , ;.' -',. , After a day. spent In seeing his at torneys and other persons interesting themselves in his behalf, Ruef pro fessed to bs very pleased with his pros pects tonight. He was very cautious in referring to his plans, however, and continued to wear the same mantle of hauteur which he has been draping himself with since the appellate court' has decreed that a rnaa whto extorts coin of the realm from his brother breaks no law. It has become known, however, that Ruef Intends to follow the same plan as Eugene Schmits and make formal ap plication to the courts to. have his bail reduced to some comfortable sum on the inside of $1,000,000. . If the courts refuse to entertain tills application Ruef will try to secure his reieass through Habeas corpus procoeu ings. ' Ruef reduces the entire graft prosecu tion to an equation very much like this: xne prosecution declares mat me pri mary object of Its labor Is to convict the corporation captains who gavs bribes, rather than .to convict the men who accepted the bribes. The prosecu tion,' by its own admissions. Is pledged to adhere to this policy, and if it falls to obtain convictions of the men higher up it will be forced to admit that It has failed in Its purpose. Will it allow an immunity contract, to Ruef to stand In 'its way of doing what It has set ont to do? Ruefs anawer to th ques tion ts In the negative, and he believes the history of the graft prosecution Is replete with incidonte to prove the cor rectness of his analysis of It since the Daniels of the appellate court have come to his assistance. - The coming trial of Patrick CalhoUn In February, will Drove Just how accur ately Ruefs graft gyromancy will turn out. The graft prosecutors profess to be lieve that they can secure the promised convictions without the testimony of Ruef. They say that there is additional evidence, in their possession in connec tion with the overhead trolley franchise that was not used In the recent trial of Tirey L. Ford for bribery, and that Ruefs refusal to testify will not event ually disconcert them. - Police Believe Jealousy Was ': Cause of Fiendish Murder .'; of ' Ludsky Kubak.
