They gained ad mission to a garden surrounding the palace, from which position they boldly oDened fire with sawed-off carbines on what they thought was the royal chamber. Guards heard the shooting ana rushed up in time to capture three of the men. on which they found 50 additional cartridges. Investigation by the police revealed that two of the three men arrested for attempting to kill King Haakon were laborers wtio naa notmng to do with the outrage.

(United Prett Uad Wire.) San Francisco, March 10, The most startling affidavit ever filed in the fight being, waged to send Abra ham Ruef and Eugene Scbmits to prlBon has been prepared by Prose cutor Heney and becomes a part of the mass of court records today. The document reviews the methods of the defense and points to Ruef as a monumental liar, besides exposing the alleged duplicity of the defend ants' attorneys. Heney, who has spent many days In preparing the affidavit, files It as an answer to the many accusations alleged to have been made against the prosecution by Ruef and his counsel and as a response to attacks that have been made, Heney says, to win public sentiment from the side of the state Some of the most important points raised in the affidavit follow: That Ruef had never been promised complete Immunity from punishment, but was given to understand that he must accept sentence for extortion. That Supervisors Wilson and Gal lagher approached Ruef at the little St Francis and discussed Immunity with him without the knowledge or authori sation of Langdon or Heney. That Rabbi Nieto himself declared that he believed Ruef should receive some punishment for his erimes, and that 'he agreed with Heney that the district attorney should retain the power to sentence Ruef at any time If Ruef failed to keep his agreement. That Ruef himself prepared a draft of a proposed Immunity contract, which rteney aDsoiuteiy reruseo to consider. That Henry Ach and Rabbis Nieto and Kaplan held several secret conferences with members of tha nrosemiHnn In Heney s office, gaining entrance by a back door.
