CHARGgS of attempted jury tampering in the trial of Harry P Flan-
police commission, came to
I^ yesterday morning at San Rafael, when William Elliott, night

t^ Fbnnco^rts^ presenf "^ "^ at Whkh
j n i i"T tiffationS made by a Sents of District Attorney Bovd
andSJ.enft UP. Taylor S ince last Friday, the grand jury of Marin county
has been called to convene Thursday morning to begin an inquiry into the
alleged attempts at "jury. fixing." William Elliott, Jerome Bassitv and Wil
hnm Gcfiazzi. a brother of Juror Henry V. Genazzi, will be the men ajainst
whom, the \u25a0: firsts fuc of^ theinquisitorial body will be directed. The film- of
a number of indictments is expected to culminate the inquiry
JUROR'S SISTER INVOLVED
The disclosures regarding the Elliott incident yesterday morning cleared
up he mystery surrounding the identity of the heavily veijed woman who
,made,a.sccret v,s,t to District Attorney Boyd in San Rafael last Saturday
This .woman was Miss Carrie Genazzi, a sister of Juror Henry V GenazzV
and : it; was. during this call that she admitted she had been approached by'
iVlliott with a request to use. her influence to have her brother "go BehV'
:on;: on ; Flannery: ,-r> -•••>" \u25a0 ""f"*
•:,..i:ate last night Jerome Bassity, who. had successfully eluded the Marin
depittics by changing his, hiding place from day to day. was found in the
.home.of a friend named Cohn in Masonic avenue. This friend is said to be
the'sameXohn who was active in the work of the defense of the Ruef and
Calhoun graft cases, and who visited San Rafael last week,
...•Bassity, who figures prominently in Joseph Abbott's account of his
various; dealings -with Flannery after the poolroom raid, was found by a
l |*^SfS€l W^Z ]^oß% and ™* s"ved with a subpena command
: The grilhng of William Elliott, Flannery 's night manager, prefaced the
.calling of, the regular court session yesterday morning, but the court pro
cecdings -themselves were 'rife with sensational developments. Joseph
Abbott, a:member of the Sausalito poolroom crowd, whose statement* before
the. grand; jury. led to the. indictment of Flannery. was called by tho prose
cution as its^tar witness, and after adding a mass of new disclosures to
the. testimony which he gave before the grand jur> % withstood for more than
an hour- the hammer and tongs cross examination directed at him by
George A; Knight, chief counsel for Flannery.
ABBOTT GIVES MORE DETAILS
Abbotfs testimony went a great deal further than that contained in the
transcript of his examination by the grand jury, and he withstood all of
Knight^ eflfors, to. break them down. Sheriff Taylor also took the witness
stand and displayed and identified the furnishings and paraphernalia captured
in the raidof March 7 upon the. Sausalito fake poolroom.' Mrs. Myrtle
Abbott, Roland J-Ufazlcton and Mrs. Cecelia Hazehon were examined as wit
nesses for the prosecution and gave testimony corroborating several essential
portions of Joe Abbott's story.
As a climax to the day's developments occurred a violent battle of
words, which almost developed into a fist fight on the Marin county court
house steps between Sheriff Taylor and Supervisor Louis Pistolcsi of Sau
salito, whose name hais been dragged into the scandal growing out of the
poolroom' disclosures. Jneensed by Pistolcsi's declaration that he could
prove that the' sheriff had embezzled more than $5,000 of the county funds,
the latter threatened him with physical punishment, and was only restrained
by several friends and court attaches, who intervened.
_ :The' jury tampering episode, which reached its height with the examina
tion of .'William Elliott yesterday morning, began last Thursday, according
to the evidence that has/been secured by the sheriff and district attorney.
Other incidents of a somewhat similar nature are said to be under investi
gation.-but have not yet come to light.
TAKES JURORS TO LUNCH
Last Thursday night information reached District Attorney Boyd that
\u25a0 ; Wiliiam;Genaizi. a brother of Juror Henry Genazzi, had made the trip that
morning from San Francisco' to San Rafael on the same boat with Flannery.
andrhad'becnVscen talking to the. latter and to some of his personal retainers
whoXaccompaied him,,. Later he was" seen talking to his brother in San
Rafael* and at the nonhour'he took Juror Genazzi and another juror, who^e
"name"; has not been divulged, to lunch with hrm.
'/'..}:• Although 'it is said, that William Genazzi has not been on friendly terms
.with - any of- his family for' several years, he appeared at dinner that evening
with -Henry Genazzi and the second juror at the Lombardi cafe. 161 Satter
