FRANCIS HEiM'S
REMARKABLE ENERGY
MAY SAVE HIS LIFE
San Francisco, Nov. 14. At 11 o'olock Doctors Ter-
ry and Bunnell issued the following: "Mr. Heney is rest- f
ing easily and his condition we regard satisfactory. His t
throat is quite dry, his pulse and respiration perfectly nor-
mal. He slept peacefully for a considerable period after f
midnight." t
The next consultation has been set for 7 o'clock this J
evening. An X-ray photograph of the wound in. Honey's J
head has been taken, but the plates are not dry yet. t
THE PRESIDENT
COMMENDS WORK
OF MR. HENEY
San Francisco, Nov. 14. Francis Honey, who was shot
down in the court room yesterday afternoon at 4:22 o'clock,
while conducting the prosecution of Abe Ruef, will recover from
the effects of his injury unless something unforsccn develops.
At the end of an anxious night in Lane hospital, whore his
wife and several relatives awaited the first news of a change in
his condition, it was reported Mint the patient displayod symp
toms most favorable. He slept long and well and had no recur
rence of the nausea that last night followed the shock and pain of
the wound. His intimate associates are united in the bolicf thnt
the indomitable energy which characterized his work as prosocu
tor in this city and elsewhere will contribute toward his recovery
and the physicians, while speaking guardedly, appeared to con
Cur in this opinion.
Morris Haas, the ex-convict and former liquor dealer, who
fired the bullet into Heney's head, passed a sleepless night in his
cell, guarded against possible mob violence by thirty officers
armed with rifles. Although the period of excitement following
the attempt upon Heney's life lasted far into the night, increasing
momentarily as the news spread and orowds gathered, and al
though intemperate speeches were made and rash counsel given
in some instances, not a single attempt at violence was reported
to the police. That Haas escaped even a minor injury in the
court room at the hands of two hundrod persons is considered
a remarkable testimonial of the efficiency of the police depart
ment and the admirable self contral of the citizens present.

HAAS SEEMS DEMENTED
San Francisco, Nov. 14. A report to the chief of police was
made today by Detective Thomas F. Burke, who slept in the cell
where Haas was last night confined. Its contents have not been
made public, but it is knowm the prisoner made no disclosures
regarded as important. Haas slept scarcely at all and the only
food he had taken since the arrest was a cap of coffee. The do
tective deolared Haas acted like a man intoxicated and ex
pressed the belief that be is at least partially demented.
Buef, who was ordered into custody shortly after the shoot
ing, is still confined in jail and at noon there seemed no prospect
of a move to secure bis liberty before the resumption of the trial
on Monday next.
ATTORNEYS OFFER SERVICES
San Francisco, Nov. 14. District Attorney W. H. Langdoa

tion. The men rank high in their profession, and each has i
large practice, demanding their constant attention, yet they vol
nnteered for what may prove a lengthy period without remunera
tion of any kind.
