" . "Apparently It must. But there is
t least no longer any reason to doubt
where - the responsibility lies. A. hare
chance, the momentary tremor of an
assassin's hand, may have saved the
. life of Francis J. Heney to this com
munity. There will be no tremor in
the finger of scorn that points past the
miserable wretch that did the shooting
to the men that desired It. The worth

' "The Immediate hancf that did this

What the Examiner Bays.
"The attempt to' kill Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Francis J. 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? Who Js the man to do the greatest-
work for San Francisco that arty
lawyer can ever d for this glorious
city? ...
"This Is a time for calmness and re
flection, a, vital day In the city' his
tory. "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. An officer of
the law was shot down in cold blood b
7-
a cowardly assassin whom he had o
fended in the discharge of his off icial i Qantenbeln in the circuit court yester
f (motions. Happily the murderer for . . . '
to all intent and purpoees he is a mur
, derer failed to wholly accomplish his
purpose, for at this writing there is
: reason . to hope and believe that the
victim will recover. 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. " The victim and his family will
reoelve trie profound sympathy of the
community, coupled. witn fervent nopes
that the nvseiit belief that he will re

Denver, CoL, Nov. 14. "The at
tempted assassination of Francis J.
Heney. I believe, will tend to solidify
publlo sentiment Jn favor of the prose
cution," vatd F. J. Cooper, head of the
Million Club" of San Francisco, at
the Brown Palace hotel today.
"Hoftey has tieen opposed bitterly by
the street railway Interests, some of
the banks and the public utility cor
porations. -
"I would not like to say that the at
tempt on Heney's life was a part of a
concerted movement to kill him. I re
call that Haas said that he did not
know Abe Kuef, and yet his son waa
associated closely with Ruef.
"It has been expected for a long time
that something would occur that would
crystalise sentiment In Heney's favor.
"I do not . think the attempt on
Heney's life came as a surprise to the
people of Ban Francisco."

today received the following message
from President Roosevelt:
"White House, Washington. D. C. I
ara inexpressibly shocked at the news
of the attempted assassination of Mr.
Heney and greatly relieved at the news
this morning that he was doing well
and probably would recover. I hope you
will aocept my deepest 'sympathy Like
every other good man, I hold, your hus
band In peculiar regard for the abso
lutely fearless way in which he has at
tacked and exposed corruption without
any regard to the political or social
standing of the offenders or to the dan
gerous character of the work.
"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.
The infamous charaoter of the man who
has assaulted him should add not only
to the horror and detestation felt for the
deed, but to the determination of all de
cent cltlzeris to stamp out the power of
all men of his kind.

After J hours in the Jury room, the
12 men who are considering the fate of
Jack La Rose,' whose trial for the mur
der of Hyman Neuman endod yesterday
morning, have given no sign of agree
ment on a verdict. - As time wears on
without word from the jury room tho
Impression gains ground that the result
will be a disagreement, although the
attorneys on each side still hope for
verdict favorable to them.
This morning the Jury sent word tha
It desired to come into court for further
Instructions. Judge Morrow and - the
lawyers responded, but after a short
wait the information came that the
jurors had reconsidered and would not
come into court. Jriad tne jury asKea
some questions It might have been
f.ossible to tell whether they are debat
ng the degrees of guilt or are tied up
on tne question or guilt or innocence.
As it la, everyone Is at soa, and the
theories as to what la transpiring in the
Jury room are theories only. All that
is certain is mat mere is a strung di
vergence of views and that an earnes
effort ls beinar made to aeree.
Denutv District Attorney Fitsarerald
this morning declared that if the Jury
disagrees he will have the case set down
for another trial as soon as the docket
will permit He would haiard no pre
diction as to the result, but says he
thinks the evidence should bring a ver
dict of rulltv as chare-ad.
La Rose ls patiently awaiting ' the
verdict in nis ceii in tn county jail
The long delay gives him Increased hope
for at least a disagreement. L. W.
Humphreys, one of the attorneys for
the defense, gives the opinion that the
long fight in the jury room means ac
quittal or manslaughter. There are
four possible verdicts, first degree, sec
ond degree, manslaughter and aoquittal.
The Jurors have with them a copy of
tne testimony, wnicn was sent in
to
them yesterday afternoon, as well as
tne gas pipes, witn wnicn Meuman and
Max Herman were assaulted, and all
other exhibits in the case. The per
sonnel oi ino jury is regaraea as ex
ceptionally strong, and It. may be as
sumed that some good argument ls be
ing usea in tne jury room.

black in the Inner circle of the Union
Republican club because of the action
of Secretary Max O. Cohen and his po
litical .adviser, , Jimmy Kertchem, In
dragging the . sensorial question into
the . organisation. Several members of
the club are indignant at the move at
tempted yesterday afternoon . - lh
meeting of the executive committee and
some of them havo signified their inten
tion of leaving the club should the sena
torial flgbt be carried further.
' As It waa. the resolution lntrnrfnrj.il
advising all members of the legislature
elected on Statement Nb. 1 . platform
to disregard their pledges, was laid On
the table and will be consldoivui at -
next'" called tor Wednesday afternoon
At the meeting of the executive cam.
ml t tee, called for yesterday afternoon
at 4 o'clock, the senatorial questions)
waa brought up and caused a heated dis
cussion. A . resolution was introduced
advising ail members of the legislature
pledged to Statement No. 1 to violate
their pledge and vote for some Repub
lican candidate for United States sen
ator.. .
This resolution at once became the
cause for. - heated discussion. It was
urged by Cohen apd Kertchem, T. J.
Monahsn and E. B. Colwell. It was op-
Bosed by W. M. Davis, Dr. Einmett
rake. John GI1L president of tha club.
an,d Judge Thomas, McDevltt.
Those who were opposed to the reso
lution took the ground that they them
selves, were they members of the legis
lature who had subscribed to Statement
No. 1. would not see their wav clear tn
violate the pledge. The speakers urged
mat it would be a dishonorable thin
for any member of the lea-inlatura tn
violate a pledge which had been given '
to the people and that any man who did
such a thing' would by that act brand
himself as - dishonorable. They could
not, therefore, the speakers argued, con
sistently favor a petition "which would
ask-members of the legislature to dis
honor themselves.
An the men expressed themselves
strongly on the subject, urging that the
club should not be brought Into th
fight, especially as It would be on the
wrong side of the question, from a
standpoint of good cltlsenshtp.
The matter waa finally laid on the
table by a vote of 6 to 4, the motion
being made -by F. E. Beach, who had
taken no part In the discussion. Tho
question will come up on.. Wednesday
next for final consideration.
The question has caused a great deal
of comment among the members of the
club, and it-Is certain that the meeting;
of next Wednesday will be an excltlnir
and interesting one. Several members
of the organisation have taken violent
exwptlrtn to the attempt- to "drag the)
club into the senatorial battle, and
brush aside the primary law, they be
lieving 'strongly In the theory of dlreot
election of senators.
Home of these men have threatened to
leave the club should Cohen and Kert
chem be allowed to lead the organization
Into a light with the principle of the)
direct election of senator.
