San Francisco Grand Jury Report
The famous grand jury of San Francisco which indicted Mayor Schmitz and so many of the graft fraternity makes a notable report. It returned 441 indictments, involving forty-seven persons. Among other things it says, 'We can not even outline the vast amount of evidence received by us showing corruption and vice of the lowest kind, involving the greatest moral turpitude, such as the participation of the former mayor of our city in the profits earned by the prostitution of the lowest of fallen women, which constitutes a recital of seemingly inconceivable sin, shame, and violation of the law.' In a speech which Mr. Langdon recently made in the East he declared that two hours after his arrival in New York he discovered that two private detectives were at his heels and were in the hall the night he was speaking.
