J., with whom Mr. Walsh had a long conference last night According to Mr. Walsh, Mc- Donald declared in an aflidavit cov- erink 13 typewritten pages, that, the case against Mooney was a ‘‘frame- { up.” “McDonald swore in his confes- | ston,” Mr. Walsh said, “that he could | not identify Mooney as the man he | had seen with a suitcase prior to the preparedness day explosion although he identified Mooney during the trial. He said District Attorney Fickert, the San Francisco prosecutor had forced him to make the identification.” Mr. Walsh quoted McDonald as saying he stood in Stewart street near the corner of Market, in San Francis- co at about 1 o'clock on the afternoon of July 22, 1916.

Washington, Feb. §.—Representa- tions have been made to the - state department by the Hungarian ‘erfment concerning the manner of deportation of undesirable allens from thg United States. The representations, which were transmitted through the Swedish min- ister h said deported aliens had 'been at such liberty aboard vessels as to permit them to organize propa- ganda against the governments of Europe which had produced “cer- tain undesirable results” in Hungary. The state department was asked have allens deported :rom the United States segregated aboard vessels. Because of what officials described 'as the “vagueness” of the Hungarian representations and the absence American jurisdiction over the aliens once they leave American shores it is not regarded as likely that | state department will find it possible to comply with the Hungarian govern- ment’s request.
