EVENING OAKLAND TRIBUNE NOVEMBER 14, 1914. JUDGE RESENTS BITTER ATTACK Speaks His Faith in Integrity of Alameda County Grand Jury. (Continued From Page 1). on in the city of Oakland, or in the county actual of Alameda; evidence Hamean combe to you that would make such proof? A. Have you any reason to suppose I have? Q.

Why, I any reason to suppose that haven't, but I am simply asking you the question because I think the impression has been created, from newspaper articles, notwithstanding that you did not say, in so many words, such a thing in the newspaper, articles, to have but such been an created 1m- and I thought, in fairness to you, you should be asked? A. Well, Mr. District Attorney, I don't think that it is fairness to me, at all, that 1s guiding you, Q. Now, Mr. HeneyA.

I think corruption exists in this city and that it is so obvious to anywho ds at all acquainted with body the signs of graft in a city that any with common sense ought to be man able to see it. FAIR TO HENEY. Q. Mr. Heney, you say that you don't think my question is fair to you.

I want to say to' you that you are entirely mistaken in that matter. I discussed with Grand Jury yesterday afternoon this very matter before you were subpoenaed to come here and I think this Grand Jury can tell you that my desire is to be perfectly fair with you. A. Let me explain my answer. Q.

Will you answer the question? A. No, I won't; I will explain my attitude. Mr. Hynes--I would like to have An answer to that question, Mr. Foreman.

The Foreman-1 think, Mr. Heney, that the jury would like to have that question answered, if you have any direct evidence of graft. Witness--I don't propose to answer that question until I first make my attitude plain to this Grand Jury, In the first place, the District Attorney has brought me here for the purpose of defending himself before the public and making it appear that he has A bona fide Intention of running down fraud. Mr. Hynes -I Insist that this witness be compelled to answer the question.

Witness--If he has any such bona fide intention, before I would give any evidence before this Grand Jury, I want to examine every memwould, this Grand Jury on his voir dire myself to know whether he is In 8 position to act upon this evidence. I say this as man who has wide experience in investigating in cities. It would be absurd for me to come here and make a statement with regard to this thing. Mr. District Attorney doesn't think for one minute that I have anything of my own knowledge.

I stated positively In that public speech that I did not have anything of my own knowledge. HENEY SHOWN UP. Mr. Hynes- As a matter of fact you haven't anything within your own knowledge? A. No, but I have seen a great deal that convinces me that the graft ex1sts and exists so near your door that you ought to be able to reach it.

For instance, there is public gambling going on right here, within three blocks of here, constantly: notorious it 1s! 1t 1g against the law! It is against the law you to permit it to go on. You went a long distance from here to make a raid. Why don't you make a raid within a few blocks? Mr. Hynes-I think that's all, gentlemen. That's all, Mr.

Heney. The above was all of the testimony given by Mr. Heney. This Grand Jury, therefore, desires to report to this honorable court that Mr. Heney admits that he is not in the possession of any evidence that would tend to prove any official corruption, or any grafting, by officials city of Oakland, or in the counted of this Alameda.

13th day of November, A. D. 1914. Respectfully submitted, (Signed) A. K.

P. HARMON, Foreman of the Grand Jury. After the report was presented Judge Ogden highly complimented the grand jury, telling them had confidence. in their ability and integrity. Heney had referred to the grand jury as crooks, saying that he would not them, as he did not believe they wanted to do their duty.

A SCENIC OR OT JUDGE OGDEN RESENTS HENEY'SSTATEMENT THAT MEMBERS OF THE GRAND JURY ARE CROOKS In a statement issued by Francis J. Heney after he left the grand jury yesterday he said: "'The grand jury as a body has no desire or intention along lines that might make it uncomfortable for any men of prominence in the community," This statement amounts to calling the present grand jurors a band of crooks. Judge Frank B. Ogden evidently bitterly resented attack on his grand jury, as is shown by the judge's address to the Jury yesterday afternoon.

Following is the statement of Superior Judge Ogden, made upon receiving the report of the grand Judge Ogden -Gentlemen of the grand jury we will have filed the partial report of the grand. jury. I may say, gentlemen of the grand jury, that it does not need evidence for the people of the county of Alameda, that no examination need be made of the personnel of this grand jury in order to ascertain if it be a fair and impartial body. I will say to you that this year the judges of your county made a personal investigation of each and every person within the county of Alameda and gleaned from each one of those persons the necessary names from which a grand jury should be drawn, and there can be no greater scrutiny given to men than the Judges of this county gave to those names that were put in the grand jury box, and as I said before, it is needless for me to say that after that scrutiny. no examination a voir dire or, elsewhere or otherwise need to be made of the names that appear upon that grand jury, and I know that if there is any fraud or corruption in the county of Alameda that you are just as anxious to reach out and get the parties who are committing that fraud as the court or district attorney or city attorney of this county.

I thank you, gentlemen, and hope you will pursue your investigations with the same dillgence that you have in the past few days. If there is anything the court can do to aid you in your labors I am sure that It will be done gladly and willingly, for the fair fame and reputation of the county of Alameda. I thank you, gentlemen.

"The failure of any member grand jury to ask me any questions which would give me an opportunity to suggest a line of investigation left me with the strong impression that the grand Jury as a body has no desire or intention to investigate along lines that might make it uncomfortthe community. able for any men of prominence "I already have evidence in my, possession of effort on the 'part of one of the big banks in Oakland to head off an investigation, and one of the officers of that bank is a member of the grand jury. I also know a few. other facts that convince me that the grand jury is not apt to do anything startling under the leadership of the district attorney.

"The notorious gambling joints to which I referred in my statement before the grand jury are Jack Woolley's the club at Charros Eighth club and at Broadway Eleventh and Broadway. Crap games are carried on there continuously and notoriously and this could not be done without the protection of the police. Another place is the Mecca, saloon, run by Grant Gorman. Captain Bock of the police department can be seen almost any evening hanging out at Woolley's saloon, Twelfth and Broadway, and other peace officers can be seen there in the company of John Lakeman, a notorious bunco man. ATTACK ON CHIEF.

"Jack Woolley is the confidant of Captain Agnew and Chief Petersen and 1s constantly down there sulting with them. Woolley and Gorman are close supporters of Mike Kelly and are supposed to have furnished the bail for the men now under indictment for election frauds. "Subpenas were issued for Woolley and Gorman to appear before the old grand Jury before election, but they could not be found until after the grand jury had finally adjourned. I have not heard that they have yet been taken before this new grand jury to explain what they know about that bail. "That ought to be enough for a starter," commented Heney to the newspaper men who had accompanied him from San Francisco and whom he dictated all that he could remember of what transpired in the jury room, that they might make carbon copies of it for distribution.

John Beckwith, foreman of the recent grand jury, stated today that the published story that he has been in consultation with Francis J. Heney is not true. Mr. Beckwith has not had any conference with Heney. FACES MURDER CHARGE.

The past week has shown no diminution of this winning streak.

On the contrary, the enthusiasm and concerted brilliancy has apparently increased and may reach a climax this afternoon. On the other hand, Stanford, usually a slow starter, has displayed better form in the early month of' the season than has been shown in the last two weeks, and there is great danger of Coach Brown's men being a trifle stale. Special trains pulled out San Jose today, traveling by way of Palo Alto and the peninsula, and each train brought thousands of Stanford supporters. Coach Brown and his up in private car, which diner had been attached. The men eat heartily under the watchful eyes of coach and trainer.

They were met at the Third and Townsend depot with automobiles and escorted across the bay 'via the creek. route, proceeding at once to their temporary quarters at the University. Indications point to the biggest crowd that has ever seen a football game in the history of California. Though the increased bleacher space will permit the seating of over 17,000 people every seat was eagerly purchased a week ago, and twice that number of people would be in attendance were there the accommodations. Special police, student ushers and ticket takers have been carefully drilled in the task of handling the crowd, and it is not believed there will be serious difficulty.

The gates to feld will be opened at 12 o'clock.
