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

When the Injured man was placed on

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

whoever he is, that shot me. -i have not

To Dlstrlcf Attorney Langdon Heney
said: I
"I -was Just sitting down, or had

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

and expressed the opinion - that his
strong constitution would do .much to

Sprockets today - said to the United
Press: . . -
"When I wu approached by an Ex
aminer reporter last alght for a atate
ment, I said: "Tell : Mr. Hearat that
I believe Jia hai beea jegpoasible for
another, murder - :: ' ."
"This constant vilification, ridiculing
and caricaturing of Mr. Heney Is aa
much responalbMTTor the attempt to
assassinate him as the bold plot which
I believe was behind the whole thing.
Sot TJallke, JtoXialey. "
"The shooting of Mr. Heney la not
unlike the assassination of President
McKinley. That crime was laid at the
door of the vile yellow journals, which
have consistently advocated anarchy by
making vicious attacks on publio of
ficials. It la time' for good citizens
to take steps to curb-these vile organs,
which have openly defended crime and
venomously attacked the sworn publio
officers who have fought fearlessly to
rid San Francisco of its debauchera
and the shame which they have brought
upon the municipality.
"I cannot think that anyone will at
tempt to condone the crime of this
wretch, who was prompted in his work.
The time has come when our citizens
must realise that to excuse crime sim
ply because of personal friendship for
the accused acts as a stimulus along
these lines and tends to convince the
vicious that they can disregard the
rlsrhts of life and property with Im
punity,
Uphold the Law. ..
"I hope that every honest man will
do his share promptly to restore the
good name of our city by upholding
the law, regardless of his personal In
terests. I think that respect for law
and order will be instilled into some
of the criminals who are doing their
utmost to disrupt society.
"No man's ideals are higher than Mr.
Heney's. He has devoted himself to the
cause of civic righteousness and risked
his life In fighting the battles of the
people. His death would be a national
calamity."

HUSBAND S CRIME
Francis J. 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.
The most notable of all the convic
tions ODtalned bv Henev waa that

the Interior HltchcAok sought an able
western lawyer to act as special as

prosecution or ine Oregon land-fraud
cases, Attorney-General Knox chose
raeney ana ne was appointed in ISyOS.
His first case was the famous "11-7'
case which ..resulted in the. conviction
of 8. A. D. Puter, Horace McKlnlev and
others, and led to the indictment of
Senator Mitchell, F. P. Mays, Willard
N. Jones and- United States Attorney
John H. Hall. 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.
These resulted In the following trials;
First, that of United States Senator
Mitchell on July 3, 1906: the William
son, Dr. Van Geaner and M. R. Biggs
uuaas. wnitu were tried tnree times and
resulted in their conviction in Bnntam-
ber of that year, and W. N. Jones and
oiieiz case, in wnicn conviction was ob
tained in October. 1905.
Upon the completion of the Siletx case
Jleney lert Portland, but returned in
July, 1906, when he convicted H. W.
Miller. F. E. Kincart, M. Q. Hoge, tried
the "Blue Mountain" case and convict
ed W. W. Jones, George Sorenson and
. f. Mays.
This cleared up all the cases except
ing the Herman case, which was to
have oeen tried by him in Portland,
January 1 of next year. Mr. Henev flo
uring that the Rueff case would take
until Christmas to complete.
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.

Land Fraud Defendants to
Bo Prosecuted "Whether
Heney Is Able to Handle
Them or Not Says Tracy
C. 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

days ago, may practice law or be ex

of testimony in the case is nearly com

will be ready for the supreme court by .
the latter part of next week.
King remains unperturbed over the '
proceedings and has no apologies to
mike, saying that be has committed no 1
wrong- and therefore ia not in leonardv. i
He is charged with two offenses, that he
was drunk in court and that he over-
charged a client, Roy Summers, while i
defending him on a charge of larceny, !
and who is now serving time in the state i
penitentiary.
Deputy City Attorney Grant has sol

Eugene Council Will Start
Work on the McKenzie
River Power Plant
(Spaclal DlapatcS to Tba Anmli
Eugene, Or., Nov, 14. At a meeting of
the city council yesterday It was decided
to go ahead at ones with the work of
building an electrical power plant on
the McKenzie river with which to op
erate the pumps at the water -plant
which the city ts about to take over
from the .Willamette Valley company
for $140,000. The pomps are at pres
ent operated by electricity -furnished
from the company's plant at Springfield,
but the city authorities wish to be en
tirely Independent of the corporation.
The power plant will be located about
16 miles east of Eugene, at a point a
short distance below the county bridge,
which crosses tne McKenzie at a point
formerly known as Hendricks" ferry.
Here there Is sufficient fail to furnish
several hundred horsepower and It Is
thought sufficient to furnish more
power than the city will need for years
to oome.
Active preparations wers begun today
for taking over tha water plant by the
oity. The Invoices axs being checked
up and In a very few days the actual
transfer will bs made. The printed
bonds recently ordered by the city have
arrived and are being filled out Morris
Brothers, the successful bidders on the
bonds, have already taken J60.000 worth
and will take the remainder in different
sums from time to time, as the city
needs tne money.
