About this book
San Francisco's graft prosecution of the years after the 1906 fire is the subject of Franklin Hichborn's account. Chapters trace the Union Labor Party, Abe Ruef and his board of supervisors, the bribery trials and the confessions, the conviction of Mayor Schmitz for extortion, the elections of 1907 and 1909, and the final dismissal of the cases. An appendix reprints rulings and documents. Hichborn also wrote accounts of the California legislature's sessions of 1909, 1911 and 1913.
