Bartnett, the former vice president of the California safe deposit and trust company, on' trial for the alleged embezzlement of the Colton securities. Nine Jurors have ..been finally sworn. to try the case and were ordered segregated in the St. Francis hotel by Judge William Conley. -"-. The day's session was calm, the only feature being a question put /by .Attor ney Thomas Geary to Juror Acton in which the defense of j the accused was outlined. ."::.•. \u25a0: ..':' X Geary said: "If it should be in,evi dence here that the securities men tioned in this, indictment were actually in the custody of the bank (the Cali fornia safe deposit and trust company)! and that they were taken by J. Dalzell Brown as manager while so in the cus tody of the bank, and sold, and the money used for bank purposes, then would not your impression as to his criminal conduct attach to the disposi tion of these securities as well as to the other money in the bank?" Acton had stated that he considered that the Colton' securities were part of the bank's resources, and when Geary put .the question he repeated, "That is where it is an mixed up." Matrimony and politics rather than spiritualism supplied the lawyers with relaxation yesterday,; though there was a fresh premonition of the mystic rap pings of the spirits that are to appear by proxy in the case. The fact thas Judge Conley, Assistant District Attor new AVllliam HoEf Cook and Attorneys Thomas Geary and Porter Ashe for the defense are all democrats excited much surprise. That gathering constituted the first democratic majority seen for several years, according to former Dis trict Attorney L. F. Byington, who was in court. .. James "W. Crosby, auditor and assist ant secretary of the Ocean Shore rail road, was one of the jurors 'called. He was asked by Cook if he would be in fluenced by the fact that J. Downey Harvey's daughter^ was; the wife of Oscar Cooper of Bartnett's counsel. He said no, but was excused on account of bias. • " " ;*;\u25a0->/ t * ' '•' John J. Young, the first man ex amined, was* accepted and'later sworn. Acton was next chosen. ; Charges. Carp y, president of the French-American bank, was conditionally passed.' though Cook stated that it would be shown that some of the Colton securities were de posited in that institution. Carpy was later challenged by the defense. Cor nelius Crowley was challenged by Geary during his examination, 5 but- the challenge, which the court overruled, was. not repeated on peremptory. Wil liam Fahey was peremptorily chal lenged by Cook; John H. Kruse, John P. Jourdcn and Carpy by the defense. ' Martin O'Connell, who would not let spiritualism interfere with his verdict, was accepted and later sworn. Michael J. Healey and Philip H. Jordan were passed, but were excused on peremp tory challenges, exercised by Geary and Cook respectively. Others excused for cau^e were A. J. Furrer, Morris Karskey, "William J. Kenny and Thomas B. Evans. Bartnett was quite at case during the day.' Judge Smith of Santa Cruz has been summoned as a witness by Cook, SEEK BROWN'S LAND Stock Holders of Wrecked Bank Prevent Sale of Big Estate A temporary injunction was issued yesterday -by Judge de Haven restrain ing Heine "Springe from disposing of the property of . J. Dalzell ; Brown in Lake . county. , 'Brown purchased 1,500 acres of land from Springe and has ex pended more than $200,000 in erecting a summer home. Springe claims that there is still due him $30,000.-. on the purchase price of the land. .Springe was given .possession of the property by a judgment of the superior court. Application for the injunction to re strain Springe from selling or/ realizing on Brown's Carson rancho was made by Attorney .Daniel O'Connell, counsel for the depositors of . the ' California safe deposit and! trust companj'. The • de positors claim that J.; Dalzell Brown permitted the . Ba/' Counties \u25a0 land com pany and Springe to obtain possession of his property. The depositors allege that this was done in order; to prevent them from realizing 'on this v valuable piece of land. It is further alleged that Brown is interested \ in rthe,Bay!Coun ties land company and that he; intended to defraud the depositors of the defunct bank by allowing Springe and the land company to' gain control of- his Lake county estate. r .

Judge 'Dunne yesterday; morning, at ; Heney*s . request.' peculiar twist of the graft cases is due to the < f ear : felt ; by •. the prose cution that there is danger of,' Jim.

PROVISION' OP STATUTES , i The California statutes have been so construed by the supreme court that the only testimony- of a -witness,- who may .have died or left the : Jurisdiction of a court, which can be brought; into a trial is that given . at * a preliminary hearing. of the case on trial. .: No tes timony given at a former trial or at -a trial on a . similar .charge can be used, even in case of. the death t)f a witness. . 'The order of 'dismissal : of the Indict ment against Ruef in 'the superior court, which », was signed ' by Judge Dunne, »^ts forth the reasons for the step, in part, as. follows: ,"It appearing. that the testimony of James L. Gallagher is ~ material and vitally, Important upon the trial/ of said cause, and that in the "month of April, 1908. an attempt was made by some unknown persons \u25a0or persons to assassinate and murder said , James ,L. Gallagher, and ; that -other attempts upon -the life of said" James L. Gal lagher have, been threatened by" un known persons, and that the testimony of /said Gallagher upon the matters involved in a trial of the defendant, Abraham Ruet under, the indictment in the above entitled case has never heretofore been .taken in any action, cause or proceeding in such manner that it . can lawfully | be : used against said defendant, Abraham* Ruef, upon his trial, in 4;he above entitled cause — -" SIMILAR STEPSPLAWED The complaint was filed before. Judge Cabaniss as a committing magistrate late in the afternoon and ball was: set at $3,000 or 51,500 cash. Ruef will-be arraigned at 10 o'clock this morning, when a time for the preliminary hear ing will be set;* "As the action taken makes Gallagher's testimony good only in the particular caj>e .involved, a sim ilar step probably , will be taken in one of the United Railroads cases as soon as Patrick Calhbun' returns- to this city. One ot the indictments against 1 Calhoun and his ; codefendants >will be'^dismissed and they will arrested on warrants permitting of a preliminary; examination. ; TRAILERS '' AriE" INSTRUCTED \u25a0\u25a0 t Frank Shaw. -alias Harry Nelson'; Harry Smith, alias Harry Zobler; J.
