Council for Indicted United Roads Men Strive Desperately to Learn What Ruef Told Grand Jury
JOIN LOUPY DIVULGES
SECRETS OF COMBINE
Tells How Small Fry Among
Restaurateurs Formed
Boodle Pool
Continued from Page 21. Column S
restaurateurs refused to contribute to
the pool formed by the big five. Loupy
li««l been instructed .by Malfanti.
Ulanco. Priet and Adler to "see .'em
all and find out what they would do."
The smaller fry' turned a deaf ear to
I^oupy - s proposition. Loupy \told the
jury the truth co far aa he went and
bo far as ho might go in this particu
lar. But he did not tell the Jury all.
Some of the men who were prompt
enough in turning down Loupy had en
fttrely different ideas about the ex-
of defying Ruef. Pons.
Slanco and Mailhebuau had a little
rsnference of their own. Like the blg-
C?r fish In the pet they decided to do
some bargaining on their own account.
Mailhcbuau was entrusted with the
delicate mission. It was the choice
of wisdom. Loupy had demanded $300
a year from each. Mailhebuau pre
sented the case to Ruef so skillfully
that the boss granted them a blanket
bill of protection for $500 a year, a
net saving of $800 on a deal covering
two years. \u25a0 The flr6t $500 was hur
riedly raised and passed to Ruef with
many thanks for his kind considera
tion. At the end of the year the mem
bers of the lesser pool were not so
prompt. Ruef was compelled to drop
around and tell Mailhebuau that it
was time to "dlg # up" the second In
stallment.
The prosecution can, if permitted to
Introduce the testimony of the members
of the lesser pool, prove the details
of this coup In lower finance with edi
fying exactness. It can also,/ if it
choses to put Ruef on the stand, prove
that half the catch of this second
swoop of the dragnet found its way
into the pockets of Schmitz. *\u25a0" *
The purpose of the prosecution in
seeking the admission of this testi
mony Is solely to establish criminal In
tent. Assuming that the defense, ad
mits, as it must, that the "fee" was
raised by the proprietors of the five
larger French restaurants and that it
\v*as paid to Ruef — but it has already
claimed that it was received as a fee
and without any lawful intent — the
proof of similar acts for the purpose
of showing intent becomes Important.
For example — and it is . \u25a0 often the
case — the passer of a counterfeit bank
note denies any knowledge of its spu
rious character. Evidence showing that
he has passed other bad bills is re
ceived to show his guilty knowledge
and criminal Intent. '
Heney put Mailhebuau on the stand
yesterday morning and the witness was
permitted to tell about his conversa
tions with Loupy. There he was com
pelled to stop pending argument and
decision of the admlssibillty of the rest
of his story. Heney's other witnesses
summoned for yesterday morning were
Mailhebuau's fellow smaller fry, and
the adjournment necessarily followed.
Will Heney put Ruef on the witness
stand? With Heney this has" so "far
been rather a question of discretion
than expediency. If the special prose
cutor f ollows his natural Inclination
to caution and his very evident distrust
of Ruef — no. If he decides to adopt
the more audacious tactics of the jury
lawyer — yes. -
HENEY'S METHODS
Heney's attitude Indicates that he Is
a "law" lawyer rather than a daring
trial or jury lawyer. He probably feels,
as does many another good lawyer not
connected with the prosecution, that he
has completed a perfect case without
Ruef. He nas proved clearly enough a
conspiracy to hold up the French res
taurant keepers. He has proved clear
ly enough Schmitz's participation in a
conspiracy that could not have been
successful /without the mayor's co
operation. Ho knows that in law it is
not necessary to prove that any of the
fruits of the dirty game found their
way into Schmitz's coffers. He knows
that despite Ruef's confessions and his
protestations of penitence that the
curly boss is playing; fast and loose
with both sides. He may fear — and evi
dently does — that, placed on the stand,
Ruef. who through George Keane- Is
again dallying with the mayor, may
attempt to protect Schmitz.
There is, however, another side to
this question. It 1b the side from which
the jury must- be. considered. The lay
mind of the unusual juryman— *nd ' he
gets on every criminal trial jury^ — fre
quently Is convinced -only by the last
straw. \u0084 \u0084 \u0084-,\u25a0\u25a0.- .' -.\u25a0. \u25a0 i -'\u0084' -
On this last straw, the defense hangs
its hopes for a disagreement, and' that
Is the best it does hope for. The de
fense will . attack ex- Police Commis
sioner Thomas Reagan and attempt to
show that the French restaurant '\u25a0 cru
sade was a : union labor V conspiracy.
But as emphasized by the cross-exami
nation conducted by the defense its
hopes are pinned to, an" absence of any
proof that Schmlts actually received
any of the alleged "tee." " The defense
will say to the Jury. • "Admitting that
there was a holdup, admitting that
this scoundrel Ruef profited by it. as
be has confessed, there, has 'not' been
one scintilla of evidence pretending ' to
fhow that one cent of this fund was
paid to Schmitz — Schmitz. the Inno-
cent, the plaything of an evil political
associate, the victim of political perse
cutors.** .- ' - .' ' .' .'- • .. ,>-•. ' :

Unable to secure a .postponement th'n'

made to set aside <the joint indictments

Abbott, and the: rest of the day"Vas
given over, to argument and the taking

to an adjournment until Tuesday after
noon. . .
CALHOUX OX HAND/ r -
Calhoun, who had been granted a spe
cial dispensation 'by the court to be ab
sent yesterday morning in order ; that
he might meet members of his family
who were expected to arrive in the
city, . did not take advantage of the
privilege, but appeared with the other
three defendants and accompanied by
Attorneys A. A. Moore, Stanley Moore
and Harry T. Creswell of his, counsel.
Benjamin Maynard, chief time keeper
of. the United Railroads, came with
Calhoun and sat at his side during the
proceedings. Hiram W. , Johnson and
J. J. Dwyer, who had' been sub'penaed
as witnesses, were dismissed when it
was found that the defense, which had
summoned them, would be unable to
lay the foundation for their testimony
until after several other witnesses had
been examined.
Attorney A. A. Moore led the forces
of the defense .throughout the day,
and it was he who fired the opening
gun when court [ convened in the fore
noon. He declared that the defense
had received a transcript of . the tes
timony, of but 20 of the witnesses who
appeared before the grand Jury in con
nectlon'With the trolley cases, whereas
there were 40 .names on the list at
tached to the copies of the indictments.
Moore urged that. the defense* was en
titled to the; complete testimony, and
that unless Hhis was furnished the -In-'
dictments must be set aside. He argued
that LC no grand jury stenographer had
been appointed' the case might be dif *
ferent, but that as long as a. part o \
the testimony, -was taken down a* fail
ure to have it all taken was a mistake
on the part of the* prosecution ; ! - for
which the state, alone should£Buff er. |
ATTACKS IXDICTMEXTS "
Attorney t C *;W. -:Cobb, . representing
the prosecution,, interrupted Moore, in
sisting ,- that : as the defendants •_; had
been arraigned they must answer ;the
charges against them before any argu T
ment would be in . order. Moore In
sisted that the defendants had, re
served all their rights at the time of
arraignment, that' they were not satis
fled with the. service of the transcripts,
and that the court should set aside the
indictments without , furthers proceed
ings if It was shown that the constl-'
tutional - rights . of the defendants had
been violated. , .
"The court has no right to ; bring, a
defendant to trial on an indictment un
less the testimony taken. is sufficient to
warrant that .; indictment," ' declared
Moore. ."It •is possible that an indict
ment might be Inspired \by other mo
tives than those of civic . pride,- and it
would ".be ' a \u25a0 terrible '- thing— a travesty
on. Justice— lf any man, rich or poor.

would be wiped" out. , It, would remain
for 'the defense to > convince "the" jury
that' the mayor: in his unsophisticated
Innocence believed . rainbows did , end in'
the "fiddle", box under" his bed.
One of the ' diverting : touches of : the
brief proceedings in the crowded court
room yesterday morning was furnished
by, the presence of Ruef. The boss was
in court to make a formal appearance
in answer, to the indictments ,-returned
1 against him In the Par kslde and Home
telephone ;: cases." He ;came Into", the
courtroom with Deputy / Elisors , : Foley
and Stan ton. *. Taking a seat at the ; at
torneys' > table, Ruef exchanged smiles
and nods .with acquaintances and: later
journeyed .across the; room; for a \wh*s-'.

i took a 1a 1 seat at Schmitz's l elbow. •', \u25a0\u25a0'\u25a0
