SCHMITZ FAILS
TO GET RELIEF
FROM LAWLOR
Felon Mayor Makes Futile
Effort to Upset Plans
of Prosecutors
ASKS FOR NEW ORDER
Requests That He Be Given
Time to Attend to
"Public Duties"
PETITION IS DENIED
Can Leave Prison Only- to
Consult "With His
Attorneys
Forbidden to attempt to transact
any -public business, San Francisco's
convicted prisoner mayor 'was gfven
brief liberty yesterday to enable him
to consult with .his attorneys at the
office of Campbell, Metson & Drew.
Schrnitz made *a_ futile attempt yes
terday toseeure the aid of the court in
a desperate effort, to set at naught the
district attorneys' plan to" relieve the
felon mayor of any strain incident to
the ' performance of official duties.
The summary action of the prosecu
tion. In compelling: the board of »uper
visors to elect Gallagher act!nar mayor
has evidently brought Schmitz to a
fuller realization of his position.
The felon mayor appeared in court
yesterday morning with but the sem
blance of the wooden exterior, he had
presented throughout his trial. NHe be
trayed no outward sign -of nervous
ness,. but the deepened lines on his face
were an undeniable index of his mental
perturbation.
Schmitz was accompanied into Juds«
Lawlor's court by Frank Drew of hia
counseL\ With their arrival virtually
all of the*. defendants in the trondreda
of graft cases pending were
\u25a0either in person or represented by
counsel. John J. Barrett, also of
Schmitz's counsel, waa there for Frank
G. Drum, Eugene ds Sabla and John
Martin, indicted for bribery In 'connec
tion with the fixing of the gas rate. D.
M. Delmas and T. C. Coogan, repre
senting Louis Glass, responded "ready."
and Stanley Moore answered for Pat
rick Calhqua; Thornwell Mullally,
Tirey L. Ford and William. M. Abbott,
indicted officials of the United Rail
roads. George Keane, counsel , for Ab*
Ruef, and W. S. Wood of counsel for
defendants in the Parkside cases, were
present, but \u25a0 took no part In the brief
proceedings. Only Detwiler. . the miss-
Ing Toledo millionaire, was ' "entirely
without representation. • '
Drew, for Schmitz, threw subterfuge
aside. He asked 'for an. order permit
ling tiw mayor to attend to public and
private business in addition, to & con
sultation with . his attorneys. i ; H© ."told
