"Hon. U. H, Webb, nttonioy-gfln-oral.
- Dear Hit". I desire to call jour
attention to a Ho-cnllod prizefight to
tulco plaeo on (ho Fourth of July
next In tho city mid county of Kan
1'VaneiHco, between ono Jim Jeffries
and ouo Jack JoIiiihoii. Many com
plalnlH aro received at this office
from prominent citircn of tlio tnte
protoHtiui; iiKaiimt thiH Ho-eallod
fiulil and io(iii;HliiiK' that Nome ac
tion ho taken by tlio proper author!
tioH to prevent tho Hiimo.
"Tho dhitriet attorney of San
i FranoiHCo Iiiih informed me that he
, dooii not propoHo to interfere in the
tiitit tor. The find HoKHiou of the loir-
iHlntiiro held in (IiIh Htato in the year
I 185(1 enuetcd a law makiui; it a fel-
on.v for two puiHotiH to fiiht oaeh
'other upon u proviotm aerccuient or
j upon a waiter for money or any
' other rowurd. TIiIh law Iiiih boon
amended from time to time, but
never ho iih to make pricfiehtiiiu
lawful.
' "In 3(I(KI the leeifilature apiiu
i iiuiunded the law relating to pri.i!-
fiKhlint;. While the law an amended
j permitted 'Hparriue exhibitions' for a
' limited number of roumlH with kIovoh
to bo hold by a domoHtic incorporated
club, it did not remove the hnu
j which the Iiiwh of thin Htato have al-
wayfl plaeod upon prizefighting.
While a Hptirrinc exhibition, under
contain couilitioiiH and restriutioiiN
Ih punuiHiible, under thin act, a prire
fiulit w t ill remaiiiH a felony. Therc
foro tho (iiicHtion ariHCH, what in a
prize fik'ht nod what i a Kparrinu'
exhibition? Tho formor Ih n crime.
Tho latter ik lawful.
"It in claimed by many that the
content hooii to tnko placo between
JohuHou and Jeffries ih to ho a prire
fiuht, nH that tonn is understood in
the law. and therefore a crime under
our HtatutoR. If thin in (me, it
Hhould bo proveutcd, but if carried
out tho iutercHtcd parties should be
ipiminhcd, an provided by law. I he-
! Imvo that you should investik'ato the
matter nt otiee and (tike such leir.il
tepH iih may bo pi-opor in your judit-
ment, if warranted by the facto, in
( prchentiiiK the case to the court f r
iitH deciHion, and ask to have all in-
I (crested parties enjoined pendiuu the
heariuc. Our Kiiproino court linn
never defined n prize fiiIii, and 1
believe that an opportunity should
bo u'iveu it to do no. Since the
amendment of tho law in 1SHU pcr
miltiuj; Hpnrrine; exhibitions, prize
fis;htini?. under tho ciiiHe of thin
nuieiidmont, hns irreatly increased
and has been tolerated in California,
until today our Htnlo is a Mecca for
prizofiuhtom, much to our disorodit.
Our people have a richt to demnnil
that prize fit-hlinc shall cease in tin
state, and it will, if our present laww
are enforced, especially if our eouits
fdlow the decisions of the supreme
eourtrt of our sitor btatca in dofin
injr prizo fichtn.
"In Michigan u prizo fiijlit exists
iieii more ih an expectation oi re
ward to bo Kiiincil by tho contest or
competition eithor by the contest or
competition either to bo won by tho
contestants or to be otherwise
awarded, coupled with an intent (o
inflict unon such contestants some
doirroo of bodily barm.
"In Kansas tho supremo court held
that tho contest must bo a fight and
that thoro must bo nn intent on (he
imrt of tho contoHtantH to do vio
lonco to and inflict hoiiio ducreo of
bodily harm on each othor, and tho
fight must bo for some prizo or re
ward. Othor stntes havo mado Bimi
Inr rules to show thnt tho' so-called
sparring exhibitions hold in this
stale under tho nuspieos of an in
corporated athletic club linvo not
boon spnrring exhibitions, but prize
fights. I nood but refer you to tho
fights of our daily pnpors. I will
call your attention to tho two or
Ihreo recent ones. First, the Mornn
McCailhy fight.
"Tho Oakland Tribune in its issue
of April .'10, in reporting il, uses this
language: 'After (he Kith nmnd hud
gone hoiiio f0 seconds, Moran landed
a blow on McCarthy's jaw. It did
not look to be a heavy punch, but
(ho young fighter went over back
wards. His bend seoniiiiL'lv dronnml
Mow as though his neck had been
injured, and as ho struck the floor
(ho sound of (ho impact could bo
heard th'roughout the building.
"McCarthy died.
"Next, (ho Nelson-Wolgast fight,
ihal look plaeo on Washington's
birthiluy (it seems (hat prizo-figbl-ors
all want (o fight on Washing
Ioii'h birthiluy, Decoration day and
Independence dny) nnd reported in
nil tho daily papers in tho stale l
rounds. 1 ipioto from the San Fran
cisco Chronicle of Februnry 2J:
"'Hound 1! NoIsou'h liiis were
puffed and his mouth and eyes swol-
Ion, Thoy mixed It like tigers, Wol-1
gust having nil tho bettor of it, land
ing ropontodly on tho body and jaw,
willi Nelson fighting wildly and spit
ting blood.' ''
Tho following Hcnlciico in (ho gov
ernor's letter was underscered:
"'WolgiHt literally cut tho Hnt
tler'n face to ribbotin, hut still the
Dano enmo for moro.'
" 'Round .'10 WolgaHt appeared
loath to put in tho finishing punch.
Ho jabbed iuccBHantly at tho Bat
tler's anatomy and again tho blood
floued in n stream. WolgaHt al
moHt Hout NoIhoii to tho floor, land

Ichh champion'H fnee'
"In tho saino issue of tho Chrou
iclo ih a report of tho fight between
Conley and Attoll, which took place
near Los Aiigelcn on February 22. I
(liiolo from it:
'"After wearing IiIh opponent
down until ho practically had no
strength loft with which to mnko an
ndeiiiato defense, much Ichh put up
an offennivn Htvlo of bntllo, Conley
rushed in and gave Attcll hiicIi n ter
rifio drubbing in tho 42(1 round of
their scheduled -If)-round fight at
Vernon thiH afternoon that tho Snn
Francisco boy wan unable to rise
when knocked lo (he floor with u full
right Hwing that caught him on the
back of tho head.
"Attcll was lying unconscious upon
his buck, sprawled at full lenuth, and
did not movo when his seconds lifted
him in their iiruis and carried him to
his corner.'
"If these contests wcro not prize
fights, then the historic bnttle be
tween Ilcenan and Snyres wns not.
"I havo no doubt thnt the coming
contest between Jeffries and John
son will bo a repetition of tho bru
tality mentioned in tho foregoing
fights, only on a largor Hcnlo.
"Such contests nro prizo fights,
not permitted bv the law, and should
bo punished as such,
"Those who encago in them are
prize-fighters and mnko their living
bv fighting each other for prizes and
rewards.
"The wbolo business is demoraliz
ing to tho youth of our stnte, cor
rupts public morals, is offensive to
the senses of a great innjoritv of our
citizens nnd should nbatc as a pub
lic offense nnd the offenders pun
ished. "If tho court, upon your petition,
refuses to grant the relief prayed
for therein, and pennits tho parties
interested to proceed as advertised
bv them, then I desiro you, on behalf
of the peonlo of tho state, to gather
all evidence possible, nnd if tho con
test is carried out as advertised and
the parlies fight for n purse or for
a roard nnd inflict muni eneh other
bodily injury, thon you nro to cnusc
tho nrrost of tho principals and
thoe inteioslod with them in pro
innting the fight nnd try them on .i
felony charge for violating section
112 of tho penal code.
