His treatment from the beginning was unusual. When arrested in the Spring of 1907 he was not ordered into the custody of the sheriff or the chief of police, but into the custody of Elisor W. J. Biggy, who converted a private residence into a jail for the accommodation of his prisoner. Here Ruef was guarded by men who never permitted him the enjoyment of solitude for a moment ; nor, for a time, did they permit him to have any visitors. Day and night, for many weeks, his guards sub- jected him to... the torture of the "third degree. " At brief intervals they roused him out of his sleep, and told him of things which they pre- tended to have heard him say while dreaming. Nearly every day he was visited by Detective Burns, who, to obtain a confession, cajoled and threatened, but in vain. In the course of time RUEF PLEADS GUILTY AND WHY 103 Ruef's health was undermined, and then he was put on trial before Judge F. H. Dunne under an indictment charging him with the extortion of money from the proprietors of what are known as the French restaurants.
