SAR FRANCISCO, August 6.—Secret | plans to bring Warren K. Billings be- fore the State Supreme Court were under way today as the seven justices prepared to hear the last witnesses in the convicted bomber's application for a pardon. Chief Justice William A. Waste an- nounced Billings would be brought be- fore the court for questioning and said | the time of the prisoner's appearance | would be kept secret. “Billings is a lifer,” said Judge Waste “He will be brought here from Folsom | Prison to appear before the Justices, but he will be brought under ci.owute | secrecy, under adequate guard. It is| our purpose not to divulge the time of | his appearance until he takes his seat upon the witness stand.” Meanwhile, John MacDonald. _the | Baltimore waiter whose decanting of | testimony he gave at the bombing | trials of Billings and Thomas Mooney | Frecipitated the present hearing, pre- pared to return East. | MacDonaid finished his _testimony yesterday. He said he perjured him- | self when he testified he saw Billings and Mooney at _the scene of the bomb | explosion in 1916 which killed 10 and | wounded 40 persons. He claimed he | was “coached” by Charles M. Fickert, | former _ district attorney. and Police | Capt. Charles Goff, to make the identi- | fications Witnesses holding themselves in | readiness to testify included Fremont | Older, veteran publisher; Fickert and | Edward Cunha. chief deputy under | Fickert during the bombing trials. | ARCHITECT OF BAHAIST CULT HOPES TO SEE TEMPLE RISE {Critically Ill, He Learns Bids Are Called| for on Structure He Designed 10 Years Ago at 64.
