oourt experiences before Judge Frank

: arosa In tha Tampla Bharlth Israel and
cried while pleadlnr auilty to tha In
dlctmenf charring him with being an
'extortioner. ' Dismay followed Kuefs

Kuef .became wblte and there were
disquieting glance In bin black eyea.
He waa .chewing gum, and hla Jawe
iwicned nervously. uuer xopi to riia
eest. Finally Murphy arose and nudged
mm, ituer inn eiooa up anu Murpny
began te hurl out objections to the
ruling, which precipitated on Inter
change of the most brlatltng talk heard
I rrom me oencn since 1110 grail prosecu
tion began.
Pnnne Scores babble.
Answering the reference made by
Afurpny to what Rabbi Jacob Nleto
-and. Rabbi Bernard Kaplan had said
about tha midnight meeting at which
Kuot a Immunity was dlacussed. Judge
, Dunne declared that any persons mak
ing these statements were uttering de
liberate untruths to assist the greatest
criminal that bad ever' appeared before
' the bar of hla court. Judge Dunne
followed up this Indirect attack on the
veracity of the two rabbis by saying
that If It were In his iower he would
recommend the grand jury to investi
gate the persons who hud made trie
statements, ije ended by declaring mat
Ruef would have been sentenced .to
'oleom for the maximum term pro
vided by In w tf the supreme court had
not come to hla aaslstance.
Heney Interspersed this utterance
. from the bench by declaring that the
fieople had not been given an opnortun
ty to argue the matter which the su
. preme court had ruled upon In fnvor of
.Ruef and Schtnlta. He added that the
supreme court ' might yet discover mat
4WW, 11 1 . WIVIUUrt
stOD right there.' said Judge Dunna.
"I want to aay that a parson or persona
making any such eUtementa that they
have stated wilful and vicious falsa
hood and a deliberate untruth mad lor
no other reason than to Interfere wiib
the administration of justice and to us
elst the greatest criminal that baa ever
appeared before tha bar of this court to
escape hla Just deserts. And I want to
aay that If I had the power I would
order this whole matter submitted to
tha grand Juu- to tha end that Indict
ments be returned. I would make such
in order here an now If I had that
Ddwer. but that Dower rests with the
1'er, but that pi
llftrict attorney r
eourt."
and not
started to
with this
Interrupt, but
1t had committed an error and that It
would not bo the first time that this
had happened.
. A motion to arrest Judgment that was
muds by Murphy was gi anted by .ludtfe
. Dunne, who" then left the bench tb
; ruptly while Ruef a counsel was trying
s to follow this up with other formal ap
plications. This action wns followed by disorder
In court that had to be suppressed by a
bailiff. The onlookers betran laughing.
Ruef and Murohv aoneari-d nonplussed.
They finally left court when they saw
Heney and Rudolph Spreckles enter
Judge Dunne's chumbers and remain in
conference with him.
Exciting- Morning.
The exciting morning began in court
when Ruef uppenred with Murphy to
.have all the extortion charges against
him dismissed. Ruef found Heney and
. Bpreckels .present to represent tho
i prosecution. Murphy began reading
, from the affidavit. When he came to
the part which referred to the allega
tions set fortk by Rabbis Nleto and
Kaplnn Judpe Dunne interrupted him.
MnFnhv
.Tui1a fmnna waved hint to his seat.
"Th.n ! ahanlntelv no merit to your
motion that tha defendant be allowed to
Withdraw hla plea. 11 is uen.cu
Aunnaia auim v
Whim Hur rinallv arose In indecision
Judga Dunne Inquired If he did not en
ter a plea of ullty and If he had any
I am run to show why Judgment
should not be pronounced on him.
Necks were craned throughout the
courtroom and ali eyea were fixed on
Ruef. Murphy engaged Kuer in wnis-
nered conference. Then he addressed
the court. . . i .
jgurpny odj-cis.
"W first take exception to the order
denvln the Dlea to De witnarawn, saia
Mnmhv. "And we now move that judg
menl in hla case upon the ground that
tha Indictment in mis' case aoes not
rtate a public offense."
"I think I understand your position
Mr. MurD!.' said Judge Dunne, "Let
us hear from liva aiairict attorney.
I did not coma here prepHred to ar
gue any aucn questions, oegun ueney.
"because, it aeema to me lr me indict
ment Is not void It Is sufficient to sus
tain the tentence of this court on the
plea of guilty.
'Tha only chance the peonle have for
having Ruef punished under . this plea of
guilty is lor your nonor to sentence
him. The defendant has the right of
appeal, and he may appeal by habeas
corpus."
"Tho defendant would be sentenced to
the Folsom penitentiary for the maxi
mum term provided by law If the su-
Fireme court had not come to hia re
lef on Monday. At this time I aee no
other alternative than to grant the mo
tion," declared Judge Dunna.
"I want to aay here both as a cltlxen
and a Judicial officer that in my opin
ion it is a matter much to bo regretted
hat the appellate court did not reach a
concluaion which would bring as much
comfort- and encouragement to the
forces of good as the conclusion which
tlvey did reach will bring to the forces
of evil through the state. Tho motion
in nrrest of Judgment Will be granted."
The granting of the motion restored
Ruef to equilibrium, the ruling of tho
court effectually disposing of the extor
lon charge. Murphy tried to follow up
this advantage by getting Heney to
consent to having Kuet oDtain release
bv offering ball on all but one each of the
different seta of indictments returned
against him. Intend to deal in fu
ture with opposing counsel at arm'a
length," said Heney. "All applications
for ball or any other matter will have
to be made formally In court."
,"Wa are quite willing to deal with
the prosecution a arms length," said
Murphy.

while Mr. Kickers may be a roan of

this project Mr. Westbrook has sent

"To Ous C. Moser, Roger B. Slnnott,

In the little wardroom of the Culgoa,
