DELMAS RETORTS IN KIND
During Argument in Class Telephone
Bribery Case Sensational Scene Was
Created by the Opposing Attorneys
Verbally Attacking Each Other.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.-When
court was called to order in the Louis
Glasa bribery case before Judge Lawlor
this morning, both, side appeared with
a renewed supply of law reports and
book stacked upon the counsel table,
a in all probability the argument
would consume the entire morning ses
sion. Mr. Delmas continued his argument
as to th admissibility of certain evi
dence to the jury. Mr. Delmas' conten
tion wa that evidence tending to show
that corrupt relation existed between
T. V. Halsey, former agent foe th Pa
cific State Telephone A Telegraph Co.,
and Supervisor Lonergan is not admis
sible, inasmuch as Mr. Glass could not
be held responsible lot the actions of
Halsey and that snob, eridenc if sub
mitted to th jury, would be of dan.
gerous and misleading character,
In the cours of bit pje in support
of the admissibility of evidence of
"similar offenses," Heney turned loose
the vial of vituperation on Delmaa.
Seldom, if ever, In th courts of San
Francisco sar In tho jreseoot of JJ
ha o hitter 4 denunciation been 'di
rected by one attorney against an
other. In one breath Heney sarcasti
cally pointed out Delmas as a "would
be" Napoleon of the bar, and in the
next breath he leaped to the other ex-
- -
trem of metaphor and likened ihe lead
er of the Thaw dofehse to a rhinoceros,
whose hide is so thick that the blush of
innocence cannot rise to the surface.
When the passionate echoes of the as
sistant district attorney's voice had died
away la' the synagogue, Delmas rose to
reply. 'L.
Heney he described as a "human
bloodhound filled with the lust of prose
cution, obsessed "with the desire to in
flict pain."
At another point, Delmas said, his
fervent voice ringing in th far corners
of th room:
"I thank God that I am still able to
travel up and down in the country
vithout the protection of body guards,"
Tm not afraid of you,' cried Heney.
"No," answered Delmas, "the learned
gentleman from Arizona has still an -
cngagcmint to keep with Mr. H. W.
Motion. There he can perhaps satisfy
his lust for encounter without having
recourse to one twice his age."
