Judge Announces That He Will

Week
JEROME BASSITY HAS
DROPPED FROM SIGHT
THE first real sensation in the
trial of Harry P. Flannery, un
der indictment by the Marin
county grand jury on a charge of
grand larceny, occurred at o o'clock
yesterday afternoon in San Rafael,
\u25a0Rhen the jury charged with the re
sponsibility of determining the guilt
or innocence of the defendant was
ordered into custody.
Rumors of attempted interference
with the jnry followed close upon the
action taken by the court. Although
Judge Lennon declared that he had
given the order only as a precaution,
the matter became doubly significant
in view of the fact that never before
during his occupancy of the superior
bench has Judge Lennon ever put a
jury in a criminal case under the
guardianship of the sheriff. More
over, the court had declared Thurs
day that he had no intention of having
4 he jury locked up unless unexpected
ievolopments should arise.
New Evidence Secured
Sheriff W. P. Taylor was absent in
San Kranr.isco' until the middle of the
afternoon yesterday on a mysterious
rrrand which District Attorney Boyd
admitted was in relation to the case
on trial, and it was because of his ab
fncp that the acti»al time given to
the hearing of the case was brief. Boyd
hinted that some new and important
evidence in the case had been found,
an<j f=aid that it would be impossible
for him to proc^d with the presenta
tion of evidence before Monday.
Immediately following- the final ad
journment of the court at 3:30 o'clock,
Boyd came to San Francisco with
Ffarry Wilbur, a detective \rho has
r>*<»n identified with the prosecution of
the ?ausallto fake poolroom eases and
»rho has been with Joseph Abbott dur
ing much of the time since the latter
mad* his confession involving: Klan
nerjr to the Maria county grand jury,
r.oyd refused to discuss the purpose of
his trip to San Francisco, but it Is
known to have had to do with the in
vestigation of the new evidence.
The taking" of testimony consumed
feut an hour and a half yesterday
morning. At 11 o'clock, following the
t^amination of two witnesses. District
Attorney Boyd asked that a recess be
taken until 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
H« explained that he intended to call
Sheriff Taylor as the next witness, but
had supposed that the cross examina
tion of Robert N. Wood, his first wit
iess, would extend over* until after
noon, and that Taylor wag away from
?an Rafael on business pertaining to
Orders Jury Locked Up
Thin firet continuance was granted,
but when court reconvened at 2 o'clock
Taylor had not returned. It was then
:hat Judge Lennon announced his *in
cntion of putting the jury under the
•ustody of the sheriff and keeping -its
nrmbers together until the case was
roncluded. Another recess was taken
antil 3:15 o'clock, but although Tay
or had returned at that time Boyd
'aid it would be impossible for him to
>roce«d either during the afternoon or
'his morning:, and asked for another
Irlay until Monday.
"We have no objection," said George
V. Knight, chief counsel for Flannery.
'We wish to give Mr. Boyd all the
:irne he needs to get his witnesses."
Under Sheriff L»ichtenberg and Deputy
;h<?riffß; h<?riffß George Taylor, George Martin
md Pet*r Crane were sworn to take
•harg« of the jury, and late in the
.fternoon the jurors were sent to the

PUNISHMENT

COMBINE
Conspirators Doubly Liable for
Making Sea Product a
Luxury
RESPECT FOR LAW
IS LESSON IN VIEW
After Individuals Are Landed
Monopoly Can Civilly Be
Dissolved
PROSECUTORS BELIEVE
EVIDENCE COMPLETE
BEFORE bringing, the case
of the fish trust to the grand
jury. Attorney General
Webb and District 'Attorney
Fickert made a thorough study of
the Cartwright law.
' This law attacks trade combin
ations in two ways — by prosecut
ing its members criminally and by
enjoining in the civil courts any
continuance of such combinations.
"The criminal feature," said
Fickert, "is the stronger, for it
gets right at the conspirators.
Such combinations act subtly and
secretly and may not be greatly
hurt if first dissolved. But when
the conspirators have been taught
to respect the law the secondary
action is likely to stick."
Personal Penalty Needed
This view was also expressed
by Attorney General Webb, who
"It isn't blood we are after in
this thing. But we feel that if
the men themselves who form
these combinations have person
ally to pay the penalty, the law
will then be held in respectful
fear. And that is what we want.
"The fact that there must be
such a conspiracy among whole
salers to uphold prices seemed to
me self-evident on its face. For
why, otherwise, could fish which
is at our very gates come to be
sold at extortionate prices? It
was to verify this' suspicion that
I suggested that the senate com
mittee take it up. It is now
completely verified so far as I am
concerned, in the evidence coming
to light since then."
Besides giving . the services o£
members of its reportorial staff
exclusively to this work during
the last month, The Call has
employed John B. Markley, an in
vestigator widely known in the
Investigator a Fighter
Markley, a relative of General
Markley, retired, fpught with the :
famous Sixth United States in- 1
fantry at San Juan hill and the
actions about Santiago during the
Spanish war and later against the
ladrones in the Philippines, where,
as> sergeant, he was for some
time in command of a company of
Filipino scouts. On leaving the
army he took up \u25a0 investigating
.work with such success that it is
now his profession.
