Ruef was indicted and convicted of offering a bribe to a San Francisco Supervisor in order to grant the United Railroads of San Francisco a franchise for building an electric trolley system in the City. This is his brief on appeal. A hard-fought contentious case OCLC records facsimiles only of this document and a few originals of several other printed arguments and appeals "Abraham Ruef born to Jewish merchants in San Francisco in 1864 became one of the most compelling and controversial figures in the history of politics in the city as the infamous founder and boss of the Union Labor Party for the Eugene Schmitz mayoral administration from 1902-1906 before his conviction on charges of bribery and extortion and sentencing to the maximum penalty of fourteen years in jail albeit he served five before he could arrange for his release. While Ruef admittedly engineered the backdoor graft and scheming that helped establish the funds and almost total power the Union Labor Party and its administration exerted in San Francisco politics in the early twentieth century he was ultimately the only man convicted for any criminal wrongdoing. The other politicians and prominent businessmen involved including Schmitz himself either successfully won their appeals or otherwise avoided conviction altogether."
