Heney by an ex-convict at the moment when Heney had brought Ruef to the prison door and seemed to be la the very act of thrusting the arch-grafter into the place where he belongs, ls one of the most regrettable occurrences ever wit nessed in San Francisco or any other city. It is shocking ajid lamentable, but It Is gratifying to know that Mr. Heney is not mortally wounded. The phy Biclans hope to save his life, and everv good citizen fervently hopes that he will be spared. "Who Is the man to lead in Heney's place?

"Punish the wouldrbe assassin quickly and punish the boodlers and grafters as well. Let there be no delay In this public duty." The Chronicle says in part: Words From the Chronicle. "The appalling crime which was committed in this city yesterday adds another paragraph to the long record oi iisaoir which imvo Deiauen mis unfortunate community.

Happily the murderer for . . .

But murder was intended and almost accomplished and a most dastardly murder, for the cow- ardly assassin stole up unseen behind his unsuspecting I victim and shot him in the back. "Mr. Heney, let us hope, will recover. The would-be assassin must be left to the hands of the law. Fortunately, the city has been spared the spectacle of summary vengeance at the hands of horrified witnesses of the atrocious leed. Nothing ls gained and much la lost when people take the law into their own bands. "It is not possible that this city can escape suffering from this occurrence, as it will be represented In the press of the world. It would seem that there r is no end t our misfortunes. We shall suffer least if we regard it as an ap palling crime and let justice take its regular course with such machinery as we ha,e' -provided for -the "purpose, wlth- , ont inflammatory anneals to human cas- jMon.

"Tour husband has taken his life in his hands. in doing this great task for our people, and he ls entitled to the credit and esteem, and. above all, to the heartiest support, of all good citizens.
