HALSEY AGAIN TO
CONFRONT A JURY
District Attorney Is Anxious to
Try the Indicted Telephone
Company Official
First Trial Was Interrupted by
Defendant's Sickness Nearly
-
Two Years. Ago
The trial of Theodore V. .Halsey, the
"outside man" of the Pacific- State* tele
phone company, who wag indicted for
bribery of the supervisors, may take
place at an early date. When his case
was called in Judpe Dunne's court yes
terday. Assistant District Attorney
Loui? Ward announced that it was the
desire of the prosecution ' to have Hal
*ey tried just as soon' as he is physi
cally able to be brought. into court for
that purpose.
Halsey was placed on trial nearly two
\u25a0ve&ns aso. A jury had been partly im
paneled, when he was stricken with
appendicitis. He xvaa operated upon
at his home. T6S3 Sacramento street,
. -where he now is, Dut lils recovery has
been extremely slow. Accorfllnjj to
Halseys physicians, tie is threatened
• \u25a0with tuberculosis. Permission was re
<ju*"sted some months aero to take him
'out of the jurisdiction of the. court to
:. another climate, but this Judge Dunne
• refused.
It appeared from a physicians* cer
tificate presented to the court yester
o«y by Stephen V. Costello, who is as
sociated with Bert Schlesingrer. as at- j
r torney for Halsey. that the indicted
\u25a0 man has undergone some improvement,
although an expectoration of blood is
regarded an a bad symptom.
Prosecutor "Ward Intimated to the
• i-ourt that it was the desire of the dis
trict attorney that Halsey should be
iri<»(j as soon as the case of James O.
Young; charged with the murder of
• Policeman William B. Helns, has been J
j disposed of. Young comes up for trial j
tomorrow. Judge Dunne put the case j
• over one week to be set for trial. The
submitted to the court yes
terday was as follows:
San Francisco. July 16, 1909.
This is to certify that on this date
>v»>, the undersigned, have made a phy
sical examination of Theodore V. Hal- ]
B*y at his residence, 2598 Sacramento i
j street, in this city. We found that
since the presentation of our last re
port there has been a progressive im
provement in both circulatory and pul
monary conditions, with one exception,
to wit. Mr. Halsey reports that a few
days ago during a paroxysm of cough
ing he expectorated a small quantity
Of blood. Although we have not been '
*b!e to determine from what part of j
the respiratory tract this hemorrhage I
occurred, we believe the symptoms J
> sufficient to indicate that extreme con
servatism will ]}*• necessary in permlt
ilng Mr. Halsey to engage in any phy
> sical exertion. There is likewise in
tMfs rnge a very tardy restoration to
• pbr«!eaj strength, a fact which, coupled
with the condition above noted, leads
'j"s to the opinion that as yet it is
neither safe nor prudent for Mr. Hal-
Bey to appear in court.

Figure It Out Yourself !
Asa plain question of economy-— Did l you
ever stop and figure up just how many
good dollars you are paying for the use
of second-hand^ furniture that belongs to
someone else, even aftier you have paid
for it in increased rent a dozen times over?
Estimate the rental of the bare room— compute
the original cost of the furniture (when new),
add what yoii i are paying in rent; then multi-
ply the result by the yearly rental arid see just
how much, you are losing, not alone in dollars
andjeents, but:in the- satisfaction and comfort
that comes from owning' s^our own furniture.
