SEHLEFATEOFRUEF
Played
PrssecHlIm False From
Yiry Beginning.
MEMORY SUDDENLY FAILED HIM
Thought DecUlon of Appellate Court
Would Rstult In Releasing
Him From Jail.
San Frnncirco. Jan. SO. An attempt
to klJnap Abe Had from ttio county
jail and spirit him awny vtm unearthed
last night by Sheriff Larry Doian. The
details of the plot wero.revealed by cine
of the guard, who hail teen the prepa
rations. Tho plot was being engineered
by the Indicted magnates, who recog
nize that they moat get liuef oat of the
way at all haw nil to mto themselves.
In the nilJit of the denunciation be
ing heaped upon tho graft prosecution
by Patrick Calhoun and hit fellows In
indictment has come a clear light show
ing that the prosecution stands at the
present moment ai strong at, It not
stronger, than ever.
Abe Reel's trial will bo pressed with
vigor. ' Then ho will beientenced to 14
yean In prison, lie may at Mice be
placed on trial again and bis renter.ee
rmUcd to 28 years. Then Patrick Cal
houn will be pnt on trial and Ruef
dragged from tho priron to testify.
This arrangement has been made
necessary by tho discorery that Rnef
and the Indicted magnate were nego
tiating during the very time that Knef
was under guard. The plot has been
unearthed by Sreclal Arcol William J.
Barns, and it includes the Insinuation
that Kuef had an advance tip on the
decision of tbe Appcllalo court, which
quashed the indictment againit him.
With this Information, Ruef, believing
that he would be turned loose, sudden
ly lot his memory on all matters that
would tend to incriminate Calhoun and
other Indicted magnates.
HALL ON STAND.
Testimony Is Vigorous Denial of Con
spiracy Charges.
Portland, Jan. 30. For over three
hours yesterday John II. Hall, ex-Unit-ed
States attorney, testified in defense
of the alleged conspiracy charged in the
Indictment on which be is being tried
la tbe Federal conit. He vigorously
denied that he had ever entered Into a
onspltary ot an illegal agreement with
tiiflvrrr and his associates or wilh any
ixxly site. He asserted that at no time
had he erer bean BDfuitbfal I) bti trust
as a piotecuting officer for the govern
sent, neither bad he ever been dilatory
In pro-rtuting all violations ot the law
that had bwn reponel to hi tn and jid
ported by the neceetary evidence. Mr.
Hall will proUbly complete his testr
mony this morning and tho cross ex
amination ot the witness by lleney will
follow. Aside front tho final argu
ments to the Jury, Heney's cross exam
ination of Hall promises to be the feat
ore oi tbe trial.
Judje Webster, counsel for Ml- Hall,
said last night that ho would probably
call only one witntes when the tttneta
finished his testimony, although It is
understood Ktelwer will be recalled for
lur her cross examination. Heney will
offer Willie te-tliuony In rebuttal when
the defen-e lias conclude 1 Its case, so
that the final arguments cannot begin
before tomorrow ademoon and prob
ably not until Situiday.

Hsney Has Evidence to Offset Haifa
Testimony.
Portland, Jan. 31. Francis J.
Hcncy's cross-examination ot John II.
Hall yesterday materially strengthened
the case ot the go -eminent Uno letter,
that will bo followed by several others
today, was Introduced by Henry show
ing that Hall In 1001 and 100:!, when
frequent complaints wrro bolng re
celved agalmt the Butto Creek com
nanr. took Immediate and effective
steps to unto prosecuting settlers who
had Horn 1MU to uu acres ot govern
ment land enclosed. The purpose of
these letters Is tc show conclusively
that Hall did not molest Slelwet'e
company, whoso enclosures oi puuno
land embraced about 2U.00U acres.
Neither were other large violators of
the fencing law dlstuibed, either by
cirtl or criminal nrocredincs.
Further evidence, con radlctory of
the testimony ot Hall on direct exam-
Ination, was onerrU by lieney si last
nicht's session. It conlted ot a letter
written by the department ot justice to
Hall In November, 1002, In response
to a request from the department of the
Interior on the application or special
Insncctor Greene, assigning Greene to
report to Hall tor tho specific purpose
of investigating complaints of uniawiui
fencing by w. W. llrown In Harney

torted to the Interior department by
Greene In tbe month of October, 1002.
