A stirring t ed by Wi rticle, In the | April American Magazine, about the jatsempted murders and plots of as- rsassination which have marked the {the San Francisco Graft Prosecution. The story fg told in ~opnection with a well Known affair of Francis Heney’s when he killed a nian to Arizona, and ts as follows: “Dr. andy, local physician forthe Southern Pscttic Company in Tuscon, wasa violent and dangerous man. He had abused and deserted his wife, and she was sulng him for divorce, Handy declared that he would kill any lawyer who took her case, Heney did take it jwith his own gun,’ sald Handy, When the case was won Handy, a man much larger than Heney, met the young attorney, backed him up against a wall, drew Heney’s gun from its holster, and started to make good the threat. Heney, fighting desperately, managed to turn the revolver agatnst Handy, and to shoot him dead. Heney, at his own request, went through a preliminary examination, and was discharged. Subsequently the grand jury, during Heney’s absence fn another county, heard the evidence of & dozan or more eye witnesses and refused to indict. “Mrs, Handy died six months af- | terward, leaving five children. The | oldest, a boy, was brought up by Dr. Handy’s sister, & woran who had something of her brother’s temper and persistence, and who has always denounced Heney as & murderer. “Twenty years later that oldest boy, a fine, upstauding young fellow with something of his father’s mighty | courage, was In San Francisco run | ningan automobile for a elty depart ment, Abe Ruef, whom Heney was | progress him, took him to luncheon ‘and to his offics, “T want you to go down to Arizona and get tlias.—— Heney in- said Ruef, ‘Tl send you down there We will sake care of you and prepar: {the way.’ As a matter of fact, How ard Harron, an assistant etsy and county attorney, who had been ap- polated to oftice once through Ruef’s Hinfluence, had already Spent weoks in Arizona seelng what could be dor to procuze the indictment of Heney Since no ball is given on a murder eae this fudicsment would have | put Heney out of the’ way for jmonth# At this time the 6 |visors had not yet confessed, and jRuet was facing only the French | Restaurant extortion charges. Handy heard him through and asked for tlme to consider, “And the same day a voice over the telephone sald to Heney: ‘Iam the son of Handy, of Arizona, whom you may remember. | want to see you on particular business,’ “When, in the West, the son ofa man whom you have killed sends word that he wants to see you, {¢ {Is atime for shifting the gun, Heney did shift is; but he met Handy alone. And the young man, sitting down peaceably, told quite simply the story of his offer from Ruef. “I thank you,” said Heney when he had done. ‘But why do you tell this—to me?’ “Mr. Heney,’ replied Handy, ‘1 was brought up to believe it was my duty to kill you—that I was no man unless I did. But after I grew up, I went down to Arizona. I talked with old friends of my father and old friends of yours, and finally I looked over the testimony at the prelimi- nary examination. And I concluded not only that you were justified but that I owed you gratitude for what you did for my mother. I said then that ifI ever saw @ chance to help you out, I would do it. Here is where I make good. Shall I go down to Arizona and find out what they are‘doing?” “Heney thanked him, but declined to accept such a sacrifice. Later, when an opposition newspaper got a statement out of the aunt calling Heney a murderer, young Handy gave a statement to the Call, in which he repeated what he sald to Heney. So that line failed.” buexeve PILE UINIMEN!
