He was too late, however, and the former oonvlct reached his victim - ' The Shot and the rail. Before the courtroonv packed with people, and In the presence of the jury imnaneled to trv Abe Ruef for briDery, Francis J. Heney, the fearless and abki prosecutor who has driven the grafters out of office, in San Francisco, was shot by a cowardly assassin. Heney was not ulven an oDPortunltv to defend himself. The murderer stepped up behind him ana, , placing . the revolver to nu ear, miliar! the trle-arer... Heney's " condition Is reported to be ..serious, put the doctors at tne-uentrai lOmergehcy hospital say there is hope for eecoverir. The bullet entered the liend Just above the cheek. , Heney was seated at the- table re' served for counsel, chatting "with a friend, when Haas suddenly appeared. gun in hand, and fired. The prosecutor pat dased for an Instant, then, Sudden Iv Duttiuar his hand to his head, he sprawled forward - on the floor with blood gushing from the wound. Heney's First Statement. When the Injured man was placed on the operating table at the Central Emer gency hospital he was still conscious end remained ro during the operation of the surgeons. He made a statement to-the public; and It was in ma usual confident spirit. ' "I'll got well," he said, "and will put Buef in prison along with this fellow, whoever he is, that shot me. -i have not finished my work yet . To Dlstrlcf Attorney Langdon Heney said: I "I -was Just sitting down, or had hi at sat down, when I felt what- I thought was a blow from behind.

Sev eral of Special Agent .Burns' assistants. v.lth Heney's bodyguard, Foley, seized Mm and threw him to the floor, where he lay glaring nA-defiant. Says Heney "Ruined His Life." When asked his name by reporters, the exconvlct said: "I am Morris Haas. I was .summoned en a Juror in the ftuef, case. That man Heney ruined my life and I got him." The wouia-ue muraerer was cnoscn as juror In a former trial of Ruef. and lils willingness to erve aroused the sus picions of the graft prosecution and ai investigation Into his record was com nfbnced after he had been passed into the box by both sides. It was found that he had served a term In the state penitlentiary for emlieszlement and when he admitted this in opon court he was promptly disqualified. The. evident purpose of his statement was to show that his disqualification and the dis grace, brought upon him hy Heney in proving what he was, rankled In his breast and his brooding, over what he considered a wrong ttone him led to the attempted murder. ; Act : Premeditated. It became known short! lv after the attempt to kill Heney that the assassin hid been indulging in pistol practice in the basement of his home ror several weeks, proving that his act was pre meditated. The shooting occurred Just at the end of a flve-minute recess and the jury had not yet entered the courtroom. The door was open, however, and the Jurors witnessed the struggle with Haaa and his captors and saw Heney lying pros trate on the floor. Bnef Ordered to fall. Judge Lawlor exoused the Jury until Monday and Ruef (was ordered into the custody of the sheriff, the court direct ing that he be confined in the county jail. Counsel for Ruef asked that for mer Supervisor ''Big Jim" Gallagher, the star witness for the prosecution, be ordered Into custody or compelled to give bonds for his appearance In court on Monday,, but the request was denied. Haas has a wife and four young chil dren, ranging from 6 to 15 years in age. His., wife states that ..recently " he has been ranting over his life history, tell ing the children, particularly, chapter after chapter at night. He endeavored to impress upon them that he had never been accused of a crime or been in Jail and represented to them that Heney had done htm a great wrong. Bullet located. On hearing of hi" act and hia subse quent arrest, his wife fell into a faint and remains prostrated. The bullet in Heney's head was lo cated by the doctors at the Central Emergency hospital about 7 o'clock last night. It was found to have entered above the cheekbone and was deflected downward, missing the brain by a frac tion of an Inch, After locating the bul let the phyateians stated that the pa tient had- a fighting chance for his lira and expressed the opinion - that his strong constitution would do .much to ward pulling .him through unless un lookod for complications set in.

"I cannot think that anyone will at tempt to condone the crime of this wretch, who was prompted in his work.

The- detectives found empty cartridge shells strewn about the stone flooring and In Haas' room above they found two Doxes or cartridges.

Heney gained national prominence when he entered upon the prosecution of the Oregon land fraud, cases, five . years ag. Prior to that tlma ha had gained ' a reputation as a keen, fearless and able lawyer, but he had not attracted national attenUos, When President Roosevelt appointed special prosecutor to , conduct the in vestigation of therOregon land frauds, he became at 6nce a figure of import ance In the publio eye. T,he biatory of the land fraud prose cutions in this state is familiar The first case was that in which a A. D. Puter, Horace McKinley and others were defendants. The result was a sweeping victory-for the government and Heney proceeded at once to the Investigation of other cases. Indictment followed In quick succes sion. Heney's-aim was to strike down the men of influence and prominence who had been concerned in the illegal acquisition of publio lands, and the re sults of his inquisition were startling. A - number of. men who had figured largely In Oregon affairs were more or less directly involved in the disclosures and while Heney's methods did not es cape strong criticism, he secured one Indictment after another from the grand Juries called to consider the evidence.

Heney reconvened the Brana jury in uctooer, iut, and brought Indictments in the following cases: The Blue Mountain case. .Blnger Her mann, Congressman J. N. Williamson and oths; the so-called Siletz case, with Willard N. Jones and T. 8. Potter.

After completing the above mentioned cases he left Portland, but returned In January, 1908, and convicted United States Attorney John Hall of conspir acy. There are but two cases those of Hermann and Congresman William son, who has secured a new trial, that remain of the Oregon land fraud cases begun by Heney. WHAT RUEF HAD TO SAY OF CRIME (Special Dispatch to Til Journal.) San Francisco, Nov. 14. Shortly af ter the shooting of Francis J. Heney last evening by Morris Haas, Abe Ruef made the following statement to a re porter: . ( ) ' "All the time of this' unfortunate oc currence I was at the door of the court building talking with my attorneys, wnen l was startled by the sound or a shot. The doors burst open and the crowd surged out and I heard people say mere naa oeen a snooting airray, "First I heard someone sav that for mer Supervisor Gallagher had been shot, then a reporter told me that Heney was shot and that this man Haas had done it. "I 'walked to the sidewalk and sent my chauffeur for the nearest doctor. He returned shortlr with Dr. Tuehlar. who was the first physician to reach tne scene. Arter tne doctor had left the court building I went with him to his office to learn what he thought of the wounded man's condition. I also telephoned to mr ramiiy to calm what fears they would have upon learning there had been a murder attempted In the courtroom. "I don't know this man Haas to sneak to and never heard of him until ha wu called as a Juror In my previous trial. I remember the Incident of his being disqualified." "What was the incident?" he was asked. "I don't care to ear; the reoord will sJtow that," Ruef replied.

Becker. The shooting of Francis J. Heney In San Francisco yesterday will In no way Interfere with tha prosecution of the' Oregon land fraud oases. Sven shwuld Mr. Heney die the cases against Blnger Hermann and J. N. Williamson Blnger Hermann and J. Williamson, which Mr. Heney was to prosecute per sonaUy. will ba carried on by the gov ernment officials to the best of their ability. Tracy C. Becker, special ' assistant to the attorney general, who was detailed to assist Mr. Heney In the prosecu tion of the Oregon land fraud cases, gave out tha following statement this morning: "Mr. Heney's death would have no effect whatever In pushing the land fraud cases except In the trials against Congressman Williamson and Blnger Hermann. These cases had been re served for Mr. Heney to prosecute In person. Beyond the fact that the pros ecution would be deprived of the bril liant and zealous services of Mr. Heney, and would, to some extent, be handicapped by the fact that no one could try these cases as well as the famous lawyer who has tried the Wil liamson case three times and Is thor oughly familiar with the facts in the Hermann case, there would be no seri ous results in hindering the work of the government , Wo Belay In Any Event. "Mr. Heney Intended to try these cases as eoon as possible, notwith standing all reports to the contrary. I know It, and I have within the last thr.ee days, under Mr. Heney's direc- llnna. haan .trvlnff tn arm naa a t'lnta fwhen the Hon. William H. Hunt, tha United States judge berore whom these cases have been tried before, would oome to Portland to hear them, as he Is so thoroughly acquainted with the facts and the -law in those cases, and because Judge Wolverton will be un able to hear him, as he or his family is in some way related to ope of the defendants. Furthermore, speaking for myself, , I should consider it a legacy of sacred duty Imposed upon me by Mr. Heney to prosecute these cases to the best of my ability and with all the assistance that I am sure the depart ment of Justice will give me. ' These defendants are instances of 'the hfgher ups,' it is claimed by Mr. Heney, who prostituted their offices to aid in de frauding the government. I know that Mr. Heney has always thought it more important to prosecute and bring to Jus tice such men than he did the small fry who had beea trusted with official po sitions." "I cannot commend the work of Mr. Heney too highly, although he has been criticised a great deal. I know it to be the fact that it is almost impossible In 'graft cases' and Tand-fraud cases' to secure a conviction unless the testimony is used of some of the parties more or less criminal themselves as to the trans actions. True, their testimony should be and always is carefully scrutinized, and it should be corroborated, as the law says it must, because they are ac complices. "I know for a fact that Mr. Heney himself always examines the statements of such men, who as the saying is. tarn state's evidence," and with the greatest care, and never accepts their statements or uses the testimony of such men un less he himself Is firmly convinced that they are telling the truth. In this his wonderful, knowledge of human nature and his Keenness of perception enables him to Judge whether the men are tell ing the trutn or not, with almost mar velous accuracy. I have seen him drive men from his room, where he was ex amining them, who were evidently making up too strong a story against other defendants to curry favor for themselves, and I know that he takes just as great pains to ascertain the truth of what such men are savins-. when they are favoring the persecution or trying to oo so, as ne acres when they are trying to favor the defense. "Take him all around. Mr. Henev ia an Ideal prosecutor, and no less for his Kindness or neart and his fairness of mind toward defendants in criminal cases than for his seal and abtlitv as a state's attorney. His deata would be a calamity to every good citizen who loves his country and wishes to sea it purged of the evils that now threaten ! tne very xounaaiions or society. ATTORNEY'S CASE NEARLY CLOSED Next week: the sutreme court will ria- dd whether or not H&ry C King, the attorney who assaulted Deputy City At torney Frank Grant on the street a few days ago, may practice law or be ex pelled from the bar association.
