Ruef Pleads Guilty but Proclaims Innocence in Court
Ruef tearfully stated that his guilty plea was to save his family from months of strain and possible death. He claimed other officials shared corruption but denied guilt in the French restaurant cases, promised to protect innocents and expose willful wrongdoers, and said he never took a dollar from the public. He referenced political pressures from Schmitz and the machine and noted the press had painted officials as crooks, while some implicated were innocent. The district attorney appeared surprised by Ruef’s reversal and the grand jury investigation continued.
