COCHRAN BITTERLY ATTACKS
PROSECUTION MOONEY TRIAL
SAX FRANCISCO, Jan. 14.—
Bourke Cochran is bitterly attacking
the prosecution's unsustained allega
tions with regard to threatened viol
ence to support its prosecution ot
Mooney. The defendant’s attorney
charged in court on Saturday that
Fickert and Cunlia were endeavor
ing to win a desperate case against
an innocent man by deliberately sur
rounding it with an atmosphere of
terrorism to prejudice the case j
against the prisoners. Cochran said |
that the case was developing into a
condition of perverted justice which
he had thought could not be possible
in the United States today. He o’t
perienced pleasure that it fell to his
lot to defend Americans against
such a disgraceful procedure.
The dramatic element of the case
was heightened by the introduction
of Miss Eleanor Fitzgerald who was
foully maltreated by the police when
they raided the Blast office on Wed
nesday. Her arms were shockingly
bruised and scarred.
The Blast has been conducting a
daring defense for the Mooneys as it
defended Billings and it is declared
that Fickert swore that he would
get them. It was the Blast which
showed that Estelle Smith the star
female witness for the prosecution
had been a prostitute and her father
in San Quentin had been promised a i
pardon, while another "star” wit- !
ness John Crowley was a sex pervert
and sneak thief and was, even when |
giving testimony, under parole for •
stealing a watch.

AT WINDY CITY CENTER
CHICAGO, Jan. 14.—The railroad
brotherhoods will conclude their
conference on Monday. They an
nounce unalterable oppositon to the
compulsory arbitration law but de
clare that it has no chance of pass
ing. Congress would not think of
It.
If Congress wanted to stir up real
trouble throughout some of the
most conservative unions, unions
that have had a long career of
peaceful relations with employers,
said one of the brotherhood officials
let them pass this anti-strike act.

crew. Two surf boards capsized in
an effort to assist in rescuing the
crew, but all were saved without
any loss. The Milwaukee today is
still lying broadside on to the-break
ers and is reported to be leaning
badly. It is likely to go to pieces
at any minute and hope of saving it
is abandoned. Many ships are
standing by but the continued storm
makes it impossible to render assist
ance.
The Milwaukee is a first class
cruiser the keel of which was laid
in 1902. Its diplacement is 9,700
tons. Its armament consisted ot
fourteen six inch breachloading and
eighteen three inch guns. It is of a
type that naval architects generally
consider obsolete in view of the
many developments which have been
noticed in the present war. Its
speed was up to the highest cruiser
standard in the navy at present,
none of them being faster than the
wrecked cruiser, namely 22.33 knots
Its horsepower was but 24,150.
