Attorneys Heney and Deln^asliiken^E
Contlaned from Pace 1, Column 4>
in many a day has equaled,
for the breadth of passion;
displayed, that bitter arraign- \
ment and counter denuncia-j
tion which held cour^ offi
cials and spectators alike bneathless
and atremble with Interest foria quar
ter of an hour yesterday mors'.ag.
Every trick of his master thl use of
satire and every resource of/ his won
derful command of language was*
brougrht into play by Dejfenas In a
scathing denunciation of H«ney's char
acter and methods, while atom
of Henevs torrential forcffulness was
thrown into the "word storjh with which
he replied to his opponeit.
larxrcxbos made
Open accusations an« thinly veiled j
Innuendos were hurled^Asack and forth
without stint or effort /o preserve evea j
the slightest semblance of the, classic
courtesy of the bar. /Though he never
lost las usual cais^ unruffled front.
Delinks sent his perfectly phrased sar
casm" ringing through the auditorium
•with all the power of his voice, and J
Heney"s vehement/ words were fairly
shouted in anger. /
The clash occurred as a result of
E>elmas' opening In support
of his contention that the prosecution J
should be forced to present direct cvi- i
dence to connect Glass with the bribery
of Boxton before attempting to Intro
duce testimony concerning the com
mission of crimes in which other su
pervisors were concerned. Ignoring 1 the
fact that the prosecution relied solely
upon the testimony of Zimmer to con
nect Glass with the payment of bribi
\u25a0 money by Halsey and that since Zim- j
iner's' unexplained refusal to testify the j
state had been thrown back upon the \
. necessity of making a circumstantial
case, Delmas taunted Heney with his
failure to -produce evidence directly in
crlminatinjj the defendant. Heney has j
not hesitated to state his belief that
Zinaer's refusal to testify -was at the
Instigation of members of Glass' coun
sel and It was cleat to all familiar
with th« circumstances of the case that
' Delmas was deliberately baiting his
opponent for such an outburst as later ]
occurred. When he began his address
to the court It was in the most suave
and deliberate manner, but as l*e
talked he rose to a pitch of oratorical
fury which brought the first bitter re
sponse from Heney the^ moment he
concluded.
DELMAS "ASTOIXDED"
"JJeyond a loud shouted denunciation
of Air. Glass, uttered with a bitterness
eni rancor that has made the wails of
this temple ring 1 , the learned private
prosecutor has brought forth, not a
scintilla of evidence tendins in any
way to connect Mr. Glass with the
crime that is here charged ag-air.st him,"
cried Delmas. "I ask your honor if it
is not time for the district attorney to
produce some evidence against my
client or else admit that he has none.
All that he has done so far is to heap
upoa the head of my client the most
vicious and unfounded vituperations.
I believe that in the prosecution of
criminal charges the hand that directs
the prosecution should do so in sor
row, not in anger, and never before in
my experience have* I seen a prosecu
tor come before the court his face red
with hate, his veins swellidg with
anger and his voice trembling, "with
passion to denounce the defendant. I
am astounded at such a spectacle, and
r.o one could witness it without sorrow
and regret. If when Mr. Heney reaches
the age of Louis Glass he shall have
accomplished as great and noble a
york criii have, won, th« respect.- honor
and love that must be accorded mr
client by the people of this community,
he will have done well Indeed,**
Keney sat silent until the close of
Dclcaas" address a few minutes later,
but at the moment the latter retired to
his seat he was on his feet with pent
up rage ready to be poured into
speech. At first his tones were as
cairn and bitter \u25a0with sarcasm as his
opponent's had been, but of a sudden
he threw o2f the restraint and burst
into crashing excoriation.
HE\ET MAKES REPLY
."I believe." he began, "that this Xa
poleon of the bar is much unlike the
great JCapoleon of \u25a0war in most respect^
'but In some of his tactics he certainly
resembles him. wnea Napoleon found
the enemy's heavy cannon threatening
him with danger In the front, he cir
cled around and attacked from tti3
rear; and so. when ilr. Delmas found
yesterday that he was faced with ar
guments too strong for him to meet.
he resorted to a rear attack. . 7
"I never studied In the same school
of acting of which Mr. Delmas Is the
greatest exemplar. I have not learned
to depend on pretense, oratory, decla
mation or control of rhetoric nor have
I been taught to rely on art and arti
fice. I am a natural talker and I can
but regret that my earnestness of man
ner has been misunderstood. But when
I become earnest and Indignant that
niy city should be so crucified by men
who have undermined the foundations
of Justice, law and order and when,
as In this case, the Inference may be
fairly drawn that the attorneys en
gaged In this case have directly in
fluenced Mr. Zimmer not to testify hers,
I have no excuse to offer.
"I say that X am indignant that our
laws have been trampled in ' the dust
and Justice sullied and I say to coun
sel on the other side, who has Just pre
ceded ne, that If when I reach his age
I do not bear a better reputation in
this community than he does, I shall
regret that I did not die before I
reached tne age of discretion by which
I could control my own conduct and
xsy relations with my clients aad other
persons. As to the \ defendant, Mr.
Glass, thank God I So not have to
compare myself irtth him." _
Heney turned briefly to a discussion
of the evidence already introduced In
an effort to connect Glass with Halsey
in the bribery transactions and then
continued:
~l>oes anybody mean to argne that
these facts cannot "be considered cir
cumstantial facts tending to prove
there was a conspiracy between Glass !
and Halsey? Unquestionably they
prove that fact, your honor. v
"But I find that when I get earnest
and emphatic and raise my voice al
most as loud as Mr. Delm&s raised his
several times, the blood still goes up
to my face.. Unfortunately, I find that
I am still able to blush with embar- 1
rassinent; some people never are or
were able to blush, and I am inclined
to think it is largely a matter, not of
consciousness , but of skin. Whoever
heard of" a rhinoceros blushing?. The
thickness of his skin makes it impos
sible to see the blood In his face.; As!
for Zlr. Delmas. I have never, seen the
blood rise .to his face during all the
times I have known him. -'Whether it
is absence of consciousness or. . tiilckr. ,
ness of skin I can net say."
In closing his argument Heney re
ferred to certain cases In which he had
taken pert in Oregon . and this served
Delmas for another chance to score
when he again arose. *. ..
CALLS HEXET BLOODHOC.\D f
""In attempting to answer this argu
ment." he began, "I: hope I may never
be compelled to dilate -upon my own
exploits as a human bloodhound.:
whether it be in Oregon or elsewhere,
as a sort of Dugald Dalgitty, I who . is
ready to sell .his services for blood
money wherever they are" required
traveling from state to" state , and ? from
territory : to territory, , In *_ order ... to ;! in
dulge a Eort'of Insane passion to make
[men Buffer, whether it be the gray
; haired senator in Oregon, whom' he
brought to his grave by his mercenary
perseverance, or whether It be men In
this community, whose' past life need
| Jear no comparison with that of the
I gentleman who hai the capacity still to
i blush blood red.
j "I need not answer the Blurs that
have been^cast at me, for neither is
tny standing- in this community such,
nor the fear that I may entertain of
the inhabitants of this city such that
I need to travel with a, bodyguard to
protect myself from Just" chastisement
at the hands of those who are' entitled
to inflict it.**- * * .
"I don't need a bodyguard to take^
care of you." interrupted Heney, Jump
ing to his feet, his face livid with an
ger. /
"So." retorted Delmas, "but remem
ber, you still have an unkept engage
ment with William H. Mjetson, , which
| you had better fulfill before you undar
j take to vent your petty spleen on a
man double your age."
""Mr. Metson never looked me up. He
knows where to find me," shouted
Haney in- response to this reference to
the recent clash between himself and
the member of Schmltz* counsel in
Judge Dunne's court.
• "I understand that you have never
looked him up. either," retorted DelmatS."
Judge. Lawlor interrupted, declaring
that the vituperation must end, and
for a tim« there was apparent peace.
J but the rancor was smoldering and
lit broke out' again a short time later
when Delmas referred to Heney*s char
acterization of Glass as a "cruel, wan
ton, inhuman attack, made with the
insatiable desire to inflict pain, which
is characteristic of the learned gentle
man from Arizona 'who can speak of
this city a3 'my city.' "
"Rome contained but one Brutus,"
[concluded Delmas, "but San Francisco
J has* the broader boast that it contains
i but one Heney. 'His cltyT He owns
It; he controls It; it Is his meat; hft
is going to gorge himself fat upon it."
"Tour honor." was all Heney answered
jin reply. "I" cannot respond to this
without having some more of the same
sort of stuff,, and he takes advantage
of the fact."/
Once, later In the session, there -was
one small note of sarcasm in Delmas'
words, but it was lacking in the venom
! of much that he had said during the
tdbrnlng.
REFERS TO TORRID CRIME
"My learned brother," he said In ref
erence to his associate attorney, T. C
Coogan, "ray learned brother is destined
In the next world to sit in another
place from the gentleman on the other
side, who. as he comes from Arizona,
may be more used to the warmer
climate and may prefer to continue in
| such a habitation forever and for
j eve r."
• Judge Lawlor took the arguments of
counsel under advisement at noon and
delivered his opinion shortly after the
resumption of court for the* afternoon.
While the rulings of the; court were
clearly a victory for the prosecution.
In that they allowed or the introduction
of the testimony of Boxton's fellow
boodlers, Delmas declared afterward
that the rulings were a victory for the
defense, and declared that they upheld
every contention he had advanced. This
construction was placed upon the ruling
through difference of opinion as-to Its
effect.
While the ruling was that evidence
of similar offenses, as such was not
admissible until after a prlma facie
case was made on the charge before
the court! if at all. it also held that
evidence was admissible In the original
case to prove the conspiracy alleged by
the prosecution, where such evidence
might establish intent, knowledge, mo
tive or purpose on th«-'part of; the de
"end&nt. or where, such evidence might
tend to establish the defendant's knowl
edge of a system or design to corruptly
influence a number of supervisors to
obtain a desired end. Under this latter
holding the testimony of the super
visors may be introduced at any time
the state sees fit to offer It.
Judge Lawlor^announced that night
sessions of the trial will be held next
\u25a0week, the hours of court to be from
10 a. m. to 12:30 p. m., from' 2 to 4:30
and from 7:30 until at, least 9:30 p. m.
Adjournment was taken last night un
til Monday morning.
JUDGE LAWLOR'S RULING
Judge Lawlor's decision on the ad
mission of evidence follows in full: •
1. On the first objection made" by tbecdefrase,
within the meaning of subdivision 6 of section
I.STO of the code of cItII procedure, the court
rales t!iat nnder the facts, feature* and circum
stances of the charge herein, together with
the character of the proof relied npon by the
prosecution, as those matter* haTe been stal«t
by the district attorney, and in part revealed
by the testimony • already Introduced. It is
proper to admit acts and declarations of the
alleged conspirator* before requlrias that all
proof of the alleged conspiracy be first ten
dered.
2. The court rules cpoa the second objection,
relating to the pending question,' that it is
proper to admit evidence upon the original case
of the people which may have a tendency to
prove the conspiracy to defeat the application
of the Home telephone company before the
board of supervisors, as claimed by the prose
cction. and to prove the payment of the alleged
bribe to Charles Borton for the purpose of
corruptly Influencing - him as a member of the
board of supervisors . In his action as such mem
ber in and upon such application, where soon
evideae* may tend to establish Intent, knowl
edge, motive or \ purpose on the part of the
defendant In respect to inch bribe, and where
*uch evidence may- also tend to establish de
fendant's knowledge of and identity with the
system, design or common scheme or plan to
corruptly defeat such application, as claimed by
the prosecution.
This ruling will Include the admission of all
of the evidence tending to hare such probative
effect, even thouzh It may also tend to pror*
the commission by the defendant of other crim
inal acts thaa the one described In the indict
ment herein.
The court further rulei that before evidence
of similar offenses, es each,. It to b« received.
If received at all. there must be sufficient evi
dence before the court and Jury tending to
make out a prlma -facie ca»e of the charge
at bar, and > that evldenc* of similar . offenses,
as such. If received at all. must likewise tend
to make out an independent prlma fade case
a* to each of such similar offenses.
The court • rules further -that -evidence of
other similar offenses, as such, will not be ad
missible. If admissible at mil, whether to nejra
tlve accident, mistake, misapprehension, the
nrerorsption of Innocence, or any proper antici
pation of defense*, until all of the substantive
proof fndln? to establish the offense charged is
first received. In other words, evidence of other
similar offenses, as sucn. will not be, received.
If received -at ail, until the prosecution . has
announced that all of the substantive . proof
In support of the charge at bar has been ten
3. The cocrt at this time does not rnle,cpon
the proposition whether the giver and receiver
of a bribe are accomplices, within the meaning
of section 1,111 of the penal code. ,

ARCHITECT SHEA MAKES
NEW DEMAND FOR MONEY
Wants the City to- Pay Him
$3,000 on Hall Which :^
Will Not Be Built
i Another demand f0r. 53,000, passed by
the board of supervisors and drawn ; in
favor of William D. Shea, who. as
"supervising architect of the buildings
to be constructed underthe bond issue."
will receive about 5100.000 In foes from
the city, treasury., as published , exclu
sively in yesterday's Call, wiir shortly
be presented to Mayor .Taylor for his
signature and may be held up . in com
pany with the demands, aggregating
$31,617.25, previously drawn In favor, of
Shea . and other architects i for similar
"architectural services." The; new de
mand in. Shea's favor^is as follows:
To. architectural services rendered in
the preparation of -; sketches, - working
drawings' (including plans and eleva
tions), specifications, full size detail
drawings, one "colored perspective
drawing for the proposed , temporary
city hall building to be ; erected on the
site. bounded by Van-Ness and Linden
avenues and f Franklin " and^ Hayes
streets, in the sum of $3,500, thlsbeing
Shea's commission' at ' 8% per cent "on
$100,000,; the proposed cost of the build
ing. Shea considerately' takes off-'^j
per' cent, ? or $500, leaving ." his bill for
the services at an even $3,000.' •
' A peculiarity in connection with the
bill Is "the 'fact 'that '.the. temporary city
hall building will never be erected on
the ; site named, "; which Was tho site
selected 'by ordinance for the new pub
lic library building. ''•;.- ;
City officials say ithat the plans
drawn by Shea are not worth the paper
they are i written on/ and that they
cannot understand i why he ."'\u25a0 put in">" a
bill for $3,000 for drawings for a build-
Ing which will'notjbe constructed. Shea
has no qualms of .conscience In attempt
ing to collect $3,000 fora' lot'of . waste
paper, but that is part of the
graft scheme -whereby he and" several
other -architects favored bvjthe *mal
odorous Ruef-Schmitz reglm^were ap
pointed to draw $100,000 or more in fees
from the city treasury. .
.At the I time the ; bold faced- attempt
was made. last. August- by r the board
of supervisors to put a temporary city
hall, on the ; library .site it was .vigor
ously, opposed by the library trustees,
among whom- was -Mayor . Taylor.- Dr.
Taylor addressed the board , and said
that the: electors of the i city and^county
had j expressed | themselves ( in % favor 'Qf
purchasing ; a ?:site' and > ; constructing '-a
library building thereon; that the board
of I supervisors :? had $; exercised '/their
"prlvllegeTineelectirig the alternate site
in the block bounded by Van Ness ave
nue, Franklin, \u25a0 Hayes j and Fell streets/
and had ' formallstsdedicated the same
to the library trustees.. Dr. Ta"ylor ; told
the boardthat the" property was beyond
the jurisdiction -of the supervisors. The
courts: upheld 'Taylor's "contention and
decided 'that-, the /city ' hall could -not
be erected on the library site, an/ the

Emlle J. Zlmnaer's five day sentence
for contempt of court expires today at
12:30. At the \ same Uae that he is
technically released he will be served
with va . subpena to appear Monday
morning and testify In the trial of
Louis Glass, accused .of bribe giving,
and at the same instant that he is
subpsnaed he will be notified, that,
though he is .technically free, .he
must remain In the county jail, be
cause the prison- Is under quarantine.
Two'cases of smallpox vTeveloped there
and one' of the. patients was taken* .ttv
the", pesthouse yesterday. The other
was taken^ : flrst from the jail: to the
county hospital, where his malady was
diagnosed as 'smallpox., and then to
the .pesthouse. .' . * ; "^ : '-'..'
; So - Zimmer,' whose ' silence in tho
Glass "trial was said to he truly golden,
will pay; for his contempt! of court in
refusing v to repeat the story of Glass"
alleged authorization and signing of
the checks, by which the supervisors
were bribed, by the Pacific ~ telephone
company. ' aa told by Zimmer •" to the
grand jury. - . ' *'\u25a0
Monday, when the" Glass trial is re
sumed. If the- quarantine is not -lift
ed by Health Officer Watkins, Zimmer
will be an actual though not a tech
nical prisoner in county jail -2. If
the* quarantine is removed he will be
whisked • away from jail just in time
to reach court ag-ain and. be placed
on the witness stand.
As Assistant District Attorney Heney
is conQcSent Zimmer. will strive to earn
the .remuneration wh:ch" It is believed
he is getting for his silence and Im
prisonment, he feels certain that Zlm
merwill continue, to refuse to answer
the pertinent questions put to hint
about the* disposition of money paid
out" by the telephone company to - the
supervisors. •
~ : If he so refuses he will reverse the
sentiment of the popular song by walk
ing right out and turning. around and
walking \u25a0 right ' Into the county jail
again. He will* 'return at once to
prison to serve another five days" sen
tence for contempt of court. How long
Zimmer wHT be willing to keep his
taciturnity depends, say the graft
prosecutors, on- the. length of the bank
account he -.will achieve and the length
of the trials of Glass on his 11 ' Indic
tments.
• Judge Lawlor gave instructions yes
terday to. the- sheriff to relea.se the vice
of the^telephone -company at
li'3o, .o'clock .today and told him to
serve \u25a0 the subpena 'at once. He also
notified the sheriff not to allow any
prisoners out, or In until Dr. Watkin3
said all dangei- of infection had passed.
;Zlmmefs offense In refusing to tes
tify-will, become a "continuous offense,"
and 'will, obtain as long. as there; is any
legal-need for the evidence which he
withholds. Dnring the peFod the pun
ishment will be made coterminous with
the misdemeanor, r ,-,.."
Convict Schmitz is another wbo will
