Ford, which has proceeded on its even way, took a sensational turn yesterday when the prosecution placed on the stand a witness who supplied the Jink con- | necting the defendant with Abe Ruef. fThe witness was Robert A. Perry, an assistant of William J. Burns, who | had been shadowing Ruef for five months in nounced that an investigation into civic corruption had been undertaken. Perry testified that on August 23, 1906, the day mint, he-had traced Ruef to Ford's of- fice and that the two reniained together | for almest an bour, Perry referred to a memorandum book and was able to give the éxact wherdabouts 6f Ruef every minite of the day. In addition to this the prosecution produced two waiters who had been employed in the Cpsmos club, at Sutter and Octavia streets. Both testified that Ford and Ruef. with two companions, had lunched there together during the of Ma$, 1906. This was the { month in which the trolley deal was ar- ranged. When the deéfense showed al P disposition to combat this evidence offered to corroborate it, stat- ing that he had been a guest at the Cosmos club on the day in question | @and had seen ¥ord and Ruef together. Just as the day was drawing to a close the defense shot one of its arrows that had been held in reserve. intimations were thrown- out that the.l claim would be made that the $200,000 sent to the mint from the east had been used to pay Interest on the bonds of the United Railroads held by Brown Brothers, the New York bankers. The remarkable theory, elucidated vesterday, was that the money was sent from New York to the San Francisco mint, withdrawn in cur- rency by Ford and sent back to New York. WILL CLOSE TODAY According to a statement made in court yesterday by Heney the prosecu- | tion will close its case after an hour's ession The tip from both last night was that Ruef would not be called as’a witness. Earl Rogers of counsel for the de- fense declined to say yesterday whether Ford would be placed upon the stand. The impression about the courtroom is that He will not. In case the de- fense calls no witnesses all the testi- mony will be completed today and ars guments will be begun before night- fall. The case may, therefore, go to the jury tomorrow or Friday. A noticeable feature of yesterday's proceedings was the comparatively small part played by Barl Rogers. Dur- ing the first trial of Jord, The Call stated that some dissatisfaction had arisen in regard to the manner in which Rogers had conmducted the case this morning. sides late and that henceforth he was to occupy | a less conspicuous poeition. The change was not made abruptly, but gradually. Attorneys ‘A. A. Moore and Stanley| Moore have assumed a greaterpart of the work. Rogers' efforts yesterday were confined to the brief cross exami- nation. of three witnesses, while the leadership was intrusted to the two Moores. The dissatisfaction with Rog- ers followed his cross examination of Frank Leach in the first trial, during which he repeatedly insulted the ‘adi- rector of mints. Fourteen witnesses were examined yesterday. The attorneys on both sides were in good humor and smiled kindly upon each other. Heney was in poor voice from the strain of the evening before. The witnesses examined in- cluded 11 who had testified at the pre- vious trial. They were George A. Will- cutt, secretary of the United Railroads; A. M.

MARTYRED MeHINLEY | the businessmen of San Francisco were flocking to the gtandard of Ryan. Lau- | meister's position as president of the merchants’ - exchange was duly ex- ploited to add weight to the message from a far country which, bacjed sole- Iy by Laumelister's name, would not command space in the political columns of McCafthy's officlal pamphlet. Lau- meister's espousal of the cause of the Hgarst candidate was so turned as to convey the impression that Laumeister spoke in his official capacity and that he expressed the sentiments of a con- siderable number of the members of the exchange over which he presides. The assumption that Laumeister epoke for any one other than himself Iis vigorously resented by the mem- | bers of the exghange. That any official action will he taken touching Laumeis- | ter's unauthoriz, nessmen ‘on the¥slide to Ryan is tm- | probable. The publication of the Lau- meister tzance message roused a storm on the eychange yesterday and a can- vass of the grain brokers, who were in session, falled to disclose a single man for Ryan or McCarthy. members of the exchange were unani- mous in declaring that the 500 members of the exchange were almost a unit for Mayor Taylor. Edward B. Cutter of the grain brokers said last night: “Laumeister wds, of cour: speaking for himself and witiout any reference to the membership of the exchange, among which he knows there is vir- tualiy no Ryan sentiment.

Taylor made two separate appeals to the voters in the country of his political foes last ‘mght and both were applauded to the echo. He spoke at Bayside hall, 37 Leland street, near the county line, to a crowd that filled the building and cheered every point made by the | speaker. At the South San Francisco opera house, where the second speech was delivered, a throng gathered that was much too large to be con- tained within the wal® of the struc- ture and an overflow meeting greeted the mayor with a shout of welcome when his automobile arrived. Both speeches were strong, manly appeals for a common sense view of .candidacy of Daniel A. merchants’ exchange, was for years, roused from hxsl Continued on Page 3, Column 1 T that at least 470 of the 500 members are enthusiastically for Mayor Taylor. We are supporting Taylor not as a per- sonality nor as a partisan, but because {he stands for good government and commercial stability. You may be as- sured that if there are businessmen flocking to Ryan they are not mem- bers of the merchants’ exchange. We want governmental and commercial stability. We want the credit of San| Francisco restored and we know that | through the election of Mayer Taylor| and only through the election of Tny-: lor will these all to be desired condi- | tions be secured.” ' !

Laumeister has been long the political dead one he is now. .BY the grace of Willlam F.
