Ach Demands Extension of Abe Ruef's Visiting List
Court Rebukes Cerf
for Interruption
Plea That Law Clerks Have Access to
Prison Room Is Promptly Denied
Henry Ach is fretful because the henchmen of Boodler Ruef,
including his handy man, Myrtile Cerf, are not permitted free access
to the prisoner's quarters. Taking the occasion of the proceedings
before Judge Dunne when Ruefs case was called for trial yesterday
morning he made his demand for an open door, and an angry scene
ensued. During the excitement Cerf made himself offensive to the
court and Judge Dunn« ordered the
bailiff to throw him out of the court
room If he repeated his insolence.
Ruef was brought to the court In an
Automobile. He shared the back seat,
between Blppy "and Barns, while
Burns* man Foley sat with the chauf
feur. The precautions taken and the
disclosures of the scene which followed
•show that a desperate attempt to aid
Ruef to escape apain Is not only ap
prehended but completely prepared tor.
At the opening of the proceedings
yesterday Ileney arose and asked that
a continuance of one week be granted
in the trial of Ruef on the French res
taurant cases, or until the mandate is
lecelved from the United States Su
preme Court announcing formally that
the petition on the writ of error had
been dismissed.
Ach, who like the man in the proverb
if as bold as a lion when no man pur
eueth, was on his feet with an objec
tion and a claim that his client wanted
to be tried immediately.
ESCAPED A PENALTY
Heney replied by exposing the trick
of the defense In sending the petition
to Washington to secure delay when
delay was their wish, and ended by
saying:
"The gentlemen are fortunate that
they escaped a penalty from the Su
preme Court for trying to trifle with
it. by bringing a case that didn't touch
the bottom or sides of any federal
question."
"This case," said the Judge, "has been
dragged, out for five months by various
proceedings Instituted by the defend
ant — well within his legal rights, of
course, j Now for the first time tho
District Attorney asks for a continu
ance, and I do not think the request
unreasonable."
Acb noted an exception.
Another reason for the request made
by the prosecution, as Heney explained
it to the court, was that witnesses had
been subpenaed from Los Angeles and
were here to testify before the Grand
Jury. This was known to Ach the
night before and it 'was evident that
his sudden desire for baste 'was merely
inspired by a desire to Impede the
taking of testimony before the Grand
Jury. As a matter of fact, the whole
move was predicted in The Call, the
day before. : . .
.MYRTIMS CICHF IK TROUBLE
Then followed the disturbance insti
gated by Ach's demand.
"My client is a man of large affairs,"
declaimed Ach. "lie has a law business,
a very large law business, and he is
engaged in the improvement of the
dty in building on his various pieces
of real estate. He employs six clerks
in his law office; and we make the re
quest that any one of them at any
time may visit Mr. Ruef, and that he
may be permitted to go to where he is
improving his real estate when he de
sires."
In this way Ach laid the foundation
for one of his "exceptions." To any
one familiar with Ruefs office and his
"six law clerks," the demand seemed
pregnant with interesting possibilities.
"I think there is at least one man
who should not be admitted to the de
fendant," said Heney. "There is abund
ant reason why Myrtll* Cerf, who aided
him in his escape, should be excluded."
Cerf, who' was sitting against the
wall, jumped up and started toward
Heney with an Incoherent threat on
his lips. Charley Haggerty, Ruers
office boy, who evidently is gifted with
more discretion than Cerf, dragged him
to his seat, where he sat mumbling out
bis anger.
"Mr. Bailiff, 1/ Mr. Cerf arises again
put him out of the room without wait
ing for me to tell you again." Judge
Dunne ordered.', \u25a0 . .
Things looked squally, but Cerfs
brain storm subsided.
"I can't see why the Assistant Dis
trict Attorney should speak in this way
of the gentleman," protested Ach.
"Because Mr. Cerf has on«>e aided the
prisoner to escape, and because Mr.
Blggy is well within his rights in keep-
Ing a man out of Mr. Ruers room who
carries a slxshooter," answered Heney.
HBNTtY ACH S.VEERGO
"The ellsor must necessarily keep
men out who carry firearms," sneered
Ach.
Biggy then told the court of his
troubles, and of how fourteen men had
marched upon the hotel at one time —
there is a suspicion that the faurtecn
desperadoes were harmless Journalists.
Biggy Bald that It was the Intention- to
trapslef Ruef to permanent quarters,
where there would be less danger o?
an escape.
"The good name of the St. Francis
has not been injured," he Bald, "but it
would be If we made a permanent Jail
of the hotel."
He described the attempt of one
Thomas Finn to force himself into
Ruefs room, and seemed to be consid
erably exercised by the Ruef heelers
\u25a0who loafed In the hotel lobby, among
whom Cerf has been conspicuous.
Heney pointed out that no one had
been refused permission to see Ruef
after applying to the court In the
regular way, or to the District Attor
ney's office, and the Judge said he
would, presume that Biggy, like the
other officers of the court, was doing
Ills duty, and that a general order from
him was not necessary.
Acb noted an exception.
The court then adjourned and Kuel
was removed to bis former quarters,
after the brief excursion, which had
been his first In nine days.
Ruef Enjoys Excitement
/ of a Journey to Court
Ift King Leaves His - Hotel
Prison for the First Time
in Ten Days
The dull monotony of captivity was
broken for Abe Roef. yesterday by a
trip to court." It was' the first time in
ten .days that he had been allowed to
$ro from; the hotel. William J. Biggy.
the elisor who has Ruef in custody, will
soon transfer him to other quarters.
t>l££y, has not. yet chosen the new.
prison, but will make a selection with
in the week.
Although the attorneys for the cap
tive boss have made every effort to
have the opart remove the restrictions
imposed, no chance in this respect Is
likely. The attorneys have requested '
that Ruef be permitted to see more of
bis friends, but the prosecution is
averse to turning the imprisonment
into a pink tea. As it is, Ruef is being:
shown every courtesy.
The first signs of falling spirits are
apparent. Ruef is losing his jaunty
air. He was visited by his attorneys
yesterday, and during the evening was
in consultation with School Director
Altman, his brother-in-law.
Glass and Detwiler Cases
Set for Thursday Morning
Telephone Magnates' Attorneys
Will Probably Attack the
Legality of Jury
The cases of Louis Glass and Abram
K. Detwiler, the telephone magnates
indicted for bribery, have been placed
on Judge Lawlor's calendar for Thurs
day morning, when the defendants will
be arraigned. Glass is within the
jurisdiction of the court, but Detwiler
has not been taken into custody. Glass
will be represented by Attorney T. C.
Coogan. Detwiler, so far as known,
has not chosen his attorney.
When the cases are called Thursday
it is expected that a general attack on
the indictments and the legality of the
Grand Jury will be begun. Most of
the fine points of law involved already
have been decided in the French restau
rant cases before Judge Dunne and the
I Nicholas and Duffey cases before Judge
I Lawlor. Jt is believed, therefore, that
the trial will be begun without much
delay.
Cass and Patterson Here
to Give Their Testimony
Each Denies That He Can
Throw Any Light on the
Situation
E. XL Cass, president of the Home
Telephone Company of Los Angeles,
and W. C Patterson, vice president
of the same corporation, arrived last
night from the south and will go be
fore the Grand Jury today. As the
San Francisco Home Telephone Com
pany was financed in Los Angeles, it is
the theory of the prosecution that
those witnesses will furnish valuable
information.
Both Cass and Patterson deny that
they can throw any light on the situa
tion.

DETWILER DINED IN NEW
YORK LAST WEDNESDAY
I Conf Innrd From Page 1, Cols. 3 and 4
purification committee in the Golden
Gate city.
Detwiler is the only outsider thus far
indicted in San Francisco, and they fear
that if a scapegoat is to be made of
some one this fact will not be in his
:&vor. The "pull" that might be
brought to bear in the interests of the
native sons, they think, might leave
the Toledan to bear the brunt of ' the
penalty, and it Is thought that the
chances of either an acquittal or at
least a light sentence are greatly en
hanced by caution on his part.
George Detwiler announced today
that King & Tracy, composing one of
Ohio's most prominent law firms, had
been retained as counsel' for A. K.
Detwiler. His affairs were placed/ In
their, hands tonight. George Detwiler
refused to outline what defense would
be made, but stated that the bond of
$130,000 would be given.
A peculiar coincidence In connection
with the reported departure of A. K.
Detwiler for "the West" on Friday Is
that the secret . service officer left for
Chicago, which is In "the West." on
tbe same afternoon. Some think -one
went in custody of the other.

GRAND JUHY INQUIRES
INTO IMB COMPANY'S
: GASH TRANSjAGTIONS
Continued from Pagre 1, Cola. 5 and 6
Council, before which body he acted In
the company's behalf as a promoter. I
J. S. Reardon, chief clerk of the Cen
tral Bank of Oakland, and L. O. Burpee,
cashier of the First National Bank of
the same city, were the witnesses from
whom the most important details of the
Home Telephone Company's financial;
affairs on that side of the bay were
gained. Reardon stated that! the Em
pire Construction Company carried a
heavy account at the Central Bank,
from which all checking: was done for
payroll purposes. This account, he
said, often amounted to several hun
dred thousand dollars, but he refused
to give any, definite- figures without
consulting- the bank's books In which
the account was carried. The account
waa opened early In 1906, and checks
on it were signed by VanUew as treas
urer. .-^ ." '; • • . .:
Assistant District Attorney Heney
asked several questions tending to
show the status of this. account at dif
ferent dates, but Reardon was unable
to give definite answers -without ref
erence to deposit stubs and was dis
missed with an order to appear again
tills afternoon with . such stubs as
would enable him to give these facts,
and aleo with an abstract showing: the
fluctuations In the account from the
time it was originally placed in the
bank. ,
It was through the testimony of Van
Llew and Reardon that the manner of
the payment of the amount turned
over by the Home Telephone Company
to the city of San Francisco and to the
relief fund for its franchise was
brought out. The money waa sent
from Los Angeles and deposited in the
Central Bank of Oakland, from which
It was checked out when the franchise
was awarded. One check of $25,000
was made payable to the city and
county of San Francisco and the other
of $75,000 for the relief fund to Su
pervisor Gallagher, who indorsed It
with his personal signature, making
it payable to the officers of the relief
fund. -
"Burpee's testimony was similar to
Reardon's. He said that a large ac
count was carried in the First Na
tional Bank and that the Home Tele
phone Company did a great deal of Its
business through the medium of this
account. . . \
Nellie. Smith, the stenographer whose
testimony has been of almost incal
culable value to the prosecution, was
the last witness to be questioned dur
ing the afternoon. Again she was ac
companied to the-Grand Jury room by
Special Agent Burns, but was on the
stand but a brief time. She was asked
one or two questions concerning the
personal part played in the graft
transactions by A. K. Detwiler, and
without divulging . any new features
of his connection with the telephone
deal, established more substantially
the thread of the evidence already
amassed against him.
That the investigation had turned
toward the gaining of an intimate
knowledge of every minor detail of the
graft transactions was evidenced by
the presence in the anteroom of the
Grand Jury chamber of several wit
nesses who were not called to the stand
but who were instructed to return at
2 o'clock this afternoon.. T. S. Park
hurst of Oakland, purchasing agent of
the Empire Construction Company, was
one of these. He will be called upon
to show the Inroads made on the ac
counts carried in the Oakland banks
through the legitimate sources for con
struction work and the purchase of
supplies, and the figures given by him
will be compared with those given by
the. bank officials.
George Bfeanston of the bookkeep
ing department of the Pacific States
Telephone and Telegraph Company,
Percy Morgan, who holds a consider
able interest in the same company, and
John A. Mallon, statistician for the
Pacific States Company, were the other
witnesses dismissed until this after
noon. Mallon is not only supposed to
have a thorough knowledge of ; the
working details of the company's man
agement, but be was also right hand
man under the late President John I.
Sabin, who preceded Henry T. Scott.
The Grand Jury adjourned at 5
o'clock and will resume its work again
at 2 o'clock this afternoon.

• Questions over Oakland's municipal integrity were. raised before
the Grand Jury yesterday, : when District Attorney * Langdon and
Francis J. Heney, tracing the operations^ of Abrani K. Detwiler
in securing franchises on the Pacific Coast, brought out a lot of per
tinent-testimony concerning events which attended privileges
granted to the Home Telephone Company in the city across the bay.
The, Home Company paid $35,000 for
its franchise in Oakland, and while , no
direct testimony was given before the
Grand Jury yesterday which proved
that It was secured irregularly,, the
activity, of Detwiler in dining the mem
bers of the City Counoll and other
officials while the fight on the ordi
naoe was pending indicated -' that his
methods were not very different from
those he followed when he was paying
the members, of the Board of Super
visors in San Francisco for their votes.
Detwiler, among other things, took
the members of the Oakland City Coun
cil on a junket to Los Angeles. Yes
terday's - testimony before the Grand
Jury brought out that prior jto this
entertaining Journey opposition Ito the
Home Company was very vigorous
among the Oakland Councilmen. When
the junket was over, however, the com
pany had secured enough votes to pass
the ordinance providing for the; fran
chise. The final vote stood 6 to 5.
PREXDEG AST EXAMINED
Nicholas Prendegast, promoter of
the Home Company, was among' the
chief witnesses examined before the
Grand Jury, on the doings of Detwiler
in Oakland. Prendegast had intimate
knowledge of a lot of the inside do
ings of the company in Oakland, and
was able to furnish the Jury with much
information affecting the manner in
which the corporation secured its.fran
chises in that city and San Francisco.
Detwiler, according to Prendegast, had
charge of all the details relating '* to
securing the franchises and arranged
for the junkets, and other entertain
ments j given by the company to enlist
support in its favor. , -
J. S. Reardon, chief clerk of. the Cen
tral Bank of Oakland, was another wit
ness' questioned closely by 'Langdon
and Heney on Detwiler's doings 'in
Oakland. It was in the Central Bank
that the $100,000' brought by Detwiler
from : Los \u25a0 Angeles to secure the fran
chise'; of the Home Company, in : San
Francisco was deposited. For the
franchise itself only $25,000 was paid
to the city. The remaining $75,000
went to the relief fund. The check flor
the latter^ amount was* made out' to
Supervisor Gallagher 'and by him
turned over to the officials of the relief
fund. Reardon testified "to and
other fact^ which showed the, intimate
relations between Detwiler and Gal
lagher, but could give : no direct testi
mony on the Toledo capitalist's opera
tions in . securing the j Oakland fran
chise for the Home Company. ' ' ,- \u25a0 .
VAN LIEU IS "SWEATED"
John Van" Lieu, treasurer of the Em
pire Construction Company^ one of the
associate enterprises of the Home Com
pany in Oakland, came out. of "the
Grand Jury room with sweat' dripping
from his forehead. Langdon and Heney
had him on the witness stand for more
than half an hour, and their acquaint
ance with the operations of Detwiler
while he was making his headquarters
in the office of that company in Oak
land was a matter of genuine astonish
ment to Van Lieu. He wasvunwlllingly
forced to buttress. the case being built
up by the prosecution against Detwiler
and to make admissions that . greatly
embarrassed him. Toward the close of
his cross-examination . the prosecutors
