"hanging" the; jury.'^HaQPl -..\u25a0-. ; EVIDE\CE~ INDIRECT - While no direct evidence of jury tami j pering was secured it was learned; that] Schueesel had expressed a violent j prejudice against the prosecution prior to his acceptance as a: juro'r^and ~ha"d made statements^ in. public which 'may lead to his Indictment. and prosecution on criminal charges. . The investigation established the fact that Schuessel ' entered the . jury-box with his mind already 'made up as to what hisverdict would: be, -The* wit nesses who gave this, testirafcny were Howard Morrow and William Finnegan, saloon men of Golden Gate -avenue and j Larkin street,',' and Walter, Plagemani4| a .solicitor for. the wholesale cigar firm of H. Plagremann . & C 0...}".; /\u25a0 }:'\u25a0'. ! According to the statements made j by these witnesses before .the grand jury Schuessel ,; on ; two . occasions ', de clared that lie ' would .vote for ; an ac^ quittal 1n any ckse growingtout* of the Oliver grand : Jur>:'s" Indictments I In wbich'Jie might be selected to. serve as a JUror. .The first occasion, according to Finnegan and Morrow, was made in their saloon"' last : May,' "shortly 1 , after Schucssel had been drawn" on the trial jury venire for Judge Lawlor's depart- j ment v The- witnesses stated that Schuessel remarked 1b the presence, of a number of men" at the bar: ; ' *T-hopo-I get >to serve In some, of these graft cases and I'll hang the jury In every one of them. I wouldn't vote to , "convict anybody that the Oliver grand jury indicted." Schuessei's second statement of this nature was . made In _the same saloon just after he had been drawn as a member of the Glass jury panel, but before his* final acceptance as a juror, and was testified to by both of the salesmen and by Plagemann, who was present at the time. «ilbxßY '{IS ' IT FOR ME? ' .- - , v J'm- -on.- the Glass jury - t panel." ScUuessel "Ik alleged to have said: - "I hope I J m-S£lected to serve on the jury ffttd .rU'liang-it. There ouglit-to bea good .piece of money-In ; it for -me." ..The "Errahd jury witnesses testified that several -others heard Schuessel's remark and: that one of the men in the sa.l©^n remarked: - "That's a — — — of a Juror; the" prosecution ought to be noti fied." The game's -of the men.-, who were in the saloon at the time' were g-iven to -the grand- jury by the witness es cxaijiined yesterday^'and they are to lje« called to corroborate the evidence 6ecurod against' th«» juror. ?-:' : ,"-";V o Schuessel 'was, the youngest member of -the jury impaneled .to trj- .Louis Glass and was accepted as a juror after a sliort examination by both the.prose eytfon and .dofensc. . His home Is at 4256 Mission street and he is employed p.s a clerk in a retail grocery owned by fc:s' r father? Jacob Werthetmer lives at "CS6 Pacific avi-nue and is a wholesale cigar "dcalor. Michael C. Samuels is a photograpber. and- lives at 1139 Stanyan strett. .-\u25a0 - . . At : its ssrssion ; yesterday the grand jury" Also delved.: once ; more. .lnto the bribery of the old board of supervisors by the Pacific States telephone and tele graph company. The refusal of Vice President E. J. Zimmer to testify ag-ainst Louis Glass, and the disagree ment which led to the ending of the GlAss case without a \Trdict. wcre.rc siJonsiMe for the endeavors of the grand Jury to strengthen the evidence at hand. f ; . . The expectation of the prosecution- is to develop a line of evidence which will replace the testimony- given 'previously by, Zimmer .but. which; h«. refused to re peat on" the witness "stand In Judge •Landor's .courL .. .. _ ... . _ It is believed that other officials of the company can give testimony which yrJH serve to establish the." case as well without Zlmmcr's testimony as 'with it. President- Scott, Secretary- Eaton and Treasurer . Kennedy of the telephone company were called as witnesses yes terday and the details of .the methods employed by. the company in the trans actfon .of 'its at. the time of tl'.p'bribcrr were again; gone into. While the prosecution Is not*"over lookingrlthe po*Si*ble ll connection of the Ixlghrr. officials of the. . company- with the bribery of. the 'supervisors, the rrVier.t efforts of. the grand jury are heHip. directed -toward -the establishment of atmore perfect cas« ajrainst Glass.*. NVw etrength was added to the case by the testimony secured yesterday and before .the grand jury : concludes this line, of * investigation "other witnesses are. to be examined and the. books; of t!ie company are to be thoroughly gone over; %" \u0084.\u25a0' ..'.."': '" ''.. *-' .'.
