THE GREATEST DAILY CIRCULATION LE, W ASH, TM Sentence ony again has been passed upon Thomas J Moor ted of murder in connection with a bomb explosion in San Francisco on July 3, 1916, while a | “preparedness” parade was being held. Six people were | instantly killed and about 40 were wounded, of whom four subsequently died. Arrests were made of Thomas J. Mooney and his wife, Rena Mooney, Warren K. Bil- lings, Israel Weinberg and Edward D. ‘Nolan, a by trade and a member m Mooney was a molder of the molders’ union. For many years he had been one of the most widely known labor leaders on the Pacific coast. Mrs. Mooney was a music teacher; Billings, a youth of radical tendencies and a follower of Mooney in + labor agitation; Nolan also was a friend of Mooney and | a radical labor leader of lesser prominence. Weinberg | was a jitney driver, hired at times to convey Mooney | and his assistants to labor meetings. He was accused of driving the automobile that was said to have .carried Mooney and the others to the spot where the bomb was “planted.” | Billings first was tried, convicted and sentenced to | life imprisonment. He still protests his innocence. Mrs. Mooney and Weinberg have been tried and acquitted. | Nolan has never been put to trial. Tom Mooney was murder convicted of first gree id sentenced to be hanged Mooney and th of labor organization leaders insist that he is b d” to the gallows be- he was a labor leader of pronounced radicalism. They assert that his life is sought because of his fierce antagonism to the “open shop” program in San Fran- cisco. This belief is not confined to persons living in San Francisco, nor yet in California alone. It is held by hundreds of thousands of labor men in all parts of the United States and in other countries. That Mooney was not honestly convicted, and there- fore should have a new trial, is the announced belief of the U. 8. Mediation Commission, of which Secretary of Labor W. B. Wilson is chairman. This also is the conviction of the president of the United States District Attorney Charles A. Fickert, who prosecut- ed Mooney, professes to be sure of his guilt despite evi- dence which has come to light since the trial This evidence has to do with a witness named Ox- man, who swore that he saw Mooney and the other defendants near the spot where the bomb exploded short- ly before the infernal machine brought death to parade watche SUBSCRIPTIONS VICE PREMIER TO BE LIMITED OF SLAVS HERE Defense Council to Con- Konovaloff Arrives in U.

NIGHT EDITION NORTHWEST ANY PAPER IN THE PACIFIC 1918, 11, SLAUGHTE Mooney’s conviction, letters confessedly writ- ten by Oxman were exposed. The plain import of these letters is an attempt by Oxman to suborn perjury—to secure false witnesses. The ¢ against Mrs. Mooney and Weinberg fell to the ground, and Nolan was not tried. All these facts are as told in the report of the United After States Mediation Commission, appointed by President Wilson, in its report to the chief executive of the United | States. | Here follow a few quotations taken from that re- | port: “There can be no doubt that Mooney was regarded as a labor agitator of malevolence by the utilities (meaning public service corporations) of San Francisco, and that he was the special object of their opposition.” “When Oxman was discredited the verdict against Mooney was dincredited.” “The attorney general asked the supreme court that, in view of the Oxman exposure, the case should be returned to the trial court for a new trial.” “We are in this war to vindicate the moral claims of unstained processes of law, however slow, at times, such proc- omen may be, These claims must be tempered by the fire of our devotion to them at home.” The president of the United States has asked the governor of California to commute Mooney’s sentence to life imprisonment. The governor cannot grant Mooney a new trial. This was in the power of the Cal lifornia Supreme Court when it heard the appeal and refused to order the case back to the trial court for a rehearing. What should be done, of course, is to send Mooney back for another trial and see whether a jury will con- vict him on the strength of Oxman's evidence now. That would be simple justice. If he is guilty, a séc- ond jury could convict him—and remove all doubt. If he is not guilty, by all means he is entitled to acquittal. But justice and law do not always go hand in hand—and the law of California would vather take Mooney’s life than remove all doubt by a new trial. Tom Mooney must die—unless Gov. California commutes his sentence or pardons him. the governor pay no heed to this appe al from Judge F. Griffin, who presided at the trial of Mooney and who sentenced him to death: “I BELIEVE THAT ALL OF PARTICIPANTS IN THE TRIAL RIGHT AND JUSTICE DEMAND THAT A NEW TRIAL OF MOONEY SHOULD BE HAD IN ORDER THAT NO POSSIBLE MISTAKE SHALL BE MADE IN A CASE WHERE A HUMAN LIFE IS AT “LABOR FAVORS: U.S. TELEGRAP Stephens of Will A.
