Note 341 — Chapter XXII · Higher Courts Free Schmitz and Ruef.
Reading edition
The opinion was written by Justice Cooper and concurred in by Justices Hall and Kerrigan. This is the same Kerrigan who appears in the Santa Cruz banquet scene picture, in which Ruef occupies the position of honor with the Republican nominee for Governor, J. M. Gillett, standing at his back with hand resting on Ruef’s shoulder. (See Chapter IV.) Supreme Justice Henshaw, whose sensational action in Ruef’s favor will appear in another chapter, is also one of the Santa Cruz banquet group.
