WOUNDED IN COURT ROOM
SAN FRAN CISCO'S ASSISTANT
DISTRICT ATTORNEY SHOT.
Prosecutor's Life Attempted by Morris
Hass, Whom He Had Proved
to be an Ex-Convict.
San Francisco, Nov. 13.?Francis
J. Heney, a leading figure in the prosecution
of municipal corruption in
ban Francisco, was shot and seriously
wounded at 4 o'clock to-day in
Judge Lawlor's court room by Morris
Haas, a Jewish saloon keeper, who
had been accepted as juror in a previous
trial of Abraham Ruef and afterwards
removed, it having been
shown in court by Heney that Haas I
was an ex-convict, a fact not brought
out in his examination as a venireman.
The shooting of Heney occurred in
the presence of many persons in the
court room during a recess in the
trial of Abraham Ruef, on trial for
the third time on the charge of bribery.
At 6 o'clock to-night Mr. Heney,
who has regained consciousness
and will probably recover, said:
"I will live to prosecute Haas and
?
Ruef."
The physicians in attendance on
Heney expressed the opinion that the
assistant district attorney would live.
It was ascertained that the bullet,
which had entered the right cheek,
had lodged under the left ear and
had not entered his brain or severed
any important arteries or nerves.
Mr. Heney was taken to the Lane
hospital, where he is under the care
of skilled surgeons. Haas is a married
man and has four children.
HT; - The Shooting.
The court had taken a recess for
10 minutes and the jury had left the
room. Heney and Reuf's attorneys,
Ach and Dozier, had just returned
from Judge Lawlor's chambers, where
I they had been summoned by the
judge for a conference. After the
conference Ach and Dozier returned
to the court room and Heney returned
to his customary seat. He was
talking with Former Supervisor Gallagher,
who had just previously undergone
a severe cross-examination
> by Ruef's attorneys, when Haas rushed
up out of the audience. Haas approached
Heney, placed a revolver
against the prosecutor's right cheek
and fired. Heney fell over on the
desk, blood streaming from the
wound. Haas was immediately seiz
ed by bystanders and thrown into the
empty jury box, where he was held
V on his back till the police came.
Haas, while a venireman in the
second Ruef bribery trial, was put
V to a severe examination by Heney
yttViav, h/s ttoo avominoH for lt1T*V Hlltv
fWii^U UV n uo VAumtuvu w*
He asserts that the information
brought out by Heneyin his questions
resulted in the ruin of his business,
that of a saloon keeper.
Haas, in the second Ruef trial, had
. been passed as a juror. Then one
day in court Heney dramatically produced
a photograph of Haas, taken
at San Quentin penitentiary, in convict
garb and with cropped head and
his number across his breast. Haas
collapsed in court, admitting he had
been a convict. He was immediately
removed from the jury.
Large Crowd Gathers.
News of the shooting spread rapidly
and an immense crowd gathered
in the corridors of the court building.
A large force of police, headed by
Chief Biggy, surrounded the building
and kept the crowd back. A number
of men who were suspected of being
there to create trouble were arrested.
Heney was rushed to the emergency
hospital
Haas, in a stateinen/t after the
shooting said: , i
"I am the wronged man. I do not
care what becomes of me now. I
have sacrificed myself not for my own
honor but for the honor of those who
are situated like myself. I would not
have brought my four children into
the world to bear such a brand if I
had known the fact that I was a
former convict would become known.
Heney ruined me. That is why I
shot him."
After the shooting Judge Lawlor
called the court to order and immediately
ordered Ruef taken into custody,
overruling the objection of Attorney
Ach. Attorney Dozier asked
that the witness Gallagher also be

clined to issue the order. The judge
then adjourned until Monday.
Close examination of the wound
*
showed that the bullet entered
through the right cheek and lodged
under the left ear. It barely missed
the carotid artery and no other prin'
* cipal arteries were ruptured. Heney
was taken to, the Lane hospital to
be placed under the X-ray.

REQUIREMENTS OF RAILROADS.
Some Regulations as to the Sanitary
Condition of v oaches.
Rule No. 6 of "Rules and Regulations
of the Railroad Commission of
South Carolina." applying to railroads,
reads a. .ollows:
"All railroad companies or persons
operating in South Carolina as common
carriers shall be required to
have printed in large type and kept
posted hi a conspicious place in each
waiting room at depots in South Carolna,
from and after the 1st day of
September, 1907, the following notice:
" All railroad companies are re
quired, under the laws of South Carolina
and ine rules of the railroad
commission, to bulletin trains
when late, to furnish good, wholesome
drinking water to passengers,
to keep waiting rooms and passenger
coaches clean, well lighted, properly
ventilated and comfortably heated
when necessary.' "
Rule No. 8 specifically states that
"a substantial water cooler must be
in each waiting room with drinking
vessel conveniently placed. The said
cooler to be supplied with wholesome
water at all hours "
Rule No. 9 requires that "all passenger
coaches, after reaching their
destination and before being put in
service for furtner use, must be thoroughly
cleaned and toilet rooms in
said coaches must be thoroughly
cleaned, fumigated and disinfected."
Rule No. 10 refers to the handling
of baggage at stations. It provides
that "all railroad companies sfiall
provide such means or appliances as
may be necessary to secure the careful
handing of and prevent injury to
baggage. . . . That at all junctional
points and all towns of over 500 inhabitants
sufficient trucks to be furnished
to both load and unload bageaee."
A Disgraceful Affair.
Saturday night about midnight six
young men of this town went to the
street corner, at the Methodist parsonage,
three of them going into the
yard and upon the porch and
three remaining outside the gate, and
in an offensive manner sang. These
young men according to Mr. Daniel's
statement had the appearance of being
intoxicated, and evidently went
to the parsonage for the purpose of
insulting the pastor, Rev. J. L. Daniel.
Nearly two years ago Rev. Daniel
in the course of a sermon remarked
that he had heard a song?Sweet Adeline?so
often that he would not
mind if Sweet Adeline were dead.
Shortly atter that time several boys
and young men went to the parsonage
and in a boisterous manner threw
missiles at the parsonage and sang
and used profane language, greatly
to the mortification and insult of Rev.
Daniel and family. Mrs. Daniel, being
a sufferer from a nervous malady,
was terribly upset, and for a time
the family were apprehensive as to
their safety.
Mrs. Daniel was so shocked that
it was necessary for her to go away
for some time. This matter finally
blew over, and it was thought no
more would be heard of it, but since
this recent outrage Rev. Daniel says
there have been one or two boys or
young men, who have not missed a
chance n passing the parsonage to
sing "Sweet Adeline." No notice was
taken of this, however, and he hoped
there would be no further unpleasantness.
Last Tuesday Mrs. Daniel
had a surgical operation, and has since
been very ill, and this affair Saturday
nirht was calculated to result in se
rious harm to her, as she naturally
became very nervous over the matter.
Coming, too, just on the eve of the
annual conference, when Mr. Daniel
is to wind up his third year, it is especially
dastardly and outrageous.
Rev. Daniel recognized most of
these young men but will not give
out their names for publication, else
they would be published. Language
is not strong enough to express the
condemnation which all right thinking
persons should feel for such an
outrageous act. These young night
prowlers should be dealt with by the
law and made to know that in Walterboro
a man's home is his castle,
and he is sacred therein; and especially
if that home contain an invalid
lady, or if it be a minister's home.
Had Rev. Daniel shot these marauders
down on his porch they would
have "been paid for," and no one
could have condemned him. The cit
l^CJLIO U1 YT aibCl UU1U) vL
denominational beliefs, should let it
be known that they condemn such
outrageous acts, and brand the perpetrators
as worse than criminals.?
