Nome, Alaska, April 20, 1017.
.11 STH K IN SAN FRANCISCO.
The dramatic trials ol' Hillings,
Mooney et al.. tor complicity in the
bombing of the preparedness | aracle
in San Francisco 'ast summer, have
so far resulted in the conviction of
lhi first two. oik of whom lias been
sentenced to the penitentiary and
the other to the gallows.
The testimony collet ted against
t hem depended upon some persons
of criminal propensities and who
had themselves got within the
meshes of tlit* law. and two or three I
others about whom relatively little
was known.
These latter were Mrs. Edcau and
her daughter and a “wealthy cattle
man from Oregon”, one Oxman. who
in other respects was relatively un
konwn.
These latter were the ones who
secured the convictions and although
their testimony was riddled by fa 'ts,
)>v the testimony of business i.nd
professional men. by photographs
and by other incontrovertible evid
ence. apparently that testimony
united with the testimony of men
and women who had been promis’d
reward for their evidence in one
shape or another, weighed with tlie
jury so heavily that it could not be
offset.
The jrfrors were professionals, ons
man called admitted that he hail
drawn over $1050 as a juryman
within a couple of years and others
confessed to similar salaries. Thai
was their business, and they were
not going to hurt it by proving re
fractory in cases where the author
ities wanted to get a conviction.
Anybody can understand that.
The most shocking discrepancies
cropped out in the prosecution’s
testimony. It is worthy of note that
not a little evidence given in the
Hillings case was amended by the
witnesses to adjust itself to the
facts which the defense had already
adduced, in the Mooney case.
It was proven and remained un
contradicted throughout that an ef
fort had already been made to get
Mooney for his activities in labor
union circles. It was proved and not
denied that an offer had been matte
of $5000 to one man if he would in
criminate Mooney in another dyna
mite frame-up. llottrke Cockran in
his address to the jury pointed out
that the prosecution had not dared
to contradict a syllable o! that
evidence.
Hundreds of people watching as
Oxman swore he watched, and as
the Kdeau women swore they watch
ed saw no such jitney of which Ox
man thought so much as to make a
note of the number. Police came
upon the stand and admitted under
oath that the streets at the time
were closed to vehicular traffic.
Photographs showed Mooney fat
from the scene at the time and a
tell tale clock stood out of the rest
of the crowd of watchers showing
when and where was Mooney. '/et
despite the evidence and the tacts
Mooney was declared guilty as was
Hillings.
Now comes the aftermath. Estelle
Smith admits that she was tempted
with a bribe and “the wealthy • 'tib
man” Oxman says that he was to be
heavily rewarded and that le was
coached as to his testimony in the
oft.ee of District Attorney Fickert.
Cockran said in concluding his ad
dress:—
“The District Attorney asks you
to stangle and kill this innocent
man. But justhe cannot be strang
led permanently. One element es
sential to the preservation of our
land is the integrity of our judicial
system. That threatened and the
fabric of the republic collapses . . .
The District Attorney lias told you
that this act was an attack upon the
flag. I say to you, gentlemen, the
flag is but bunting unless it stands
for justice.”
Men, doubtless sincere and worthy
men, complain from time to time at
the lack of respect which the masses
are showing for the legal procedure
of the land. In the light of this in
famous case, in the name of common
sense, is it any wonder? Men like
Fiekert do more to bring the law
and the “justice" of the courts into
contempt than a hundred thousand
consistent anarchist agitators. And
tin whole country knows it.
It's not the first time that labor
has been victimized and been the
butt of an official conspiracy. Hut
this time it is evident that the real
conspirators are not gotng to get by
with it. These confessions now
coming to light promise that.

Editor Industrial Worker:
Dear Sir:—Dost there should be
any guess work as to the. identity
of tlie “nameless one” mentioned in
yesterdays Worker pertaining to a
certain telegram sent to the Gover
nor of Alaska dealing with a reso
lution passed at the patrotic demon
stration. I beg leave to remove such
doubt in the minds of your readers
by stating that I am the guilty one,
And I further wish to state that
your informant or informants as the
ease may he grossly and maliciously
misrepresented the facts when they
stated that it was a "political trick J
unworthy of anybody”. The tele
gram was a reply to a wire sent to
AI. Q. Solberg on April 11th by Gov.
Strong inquiring what steps if any
' had been taken towards military or
| ganization—after the Patriotic de
monstration Air. Solberg thought he
j would send a wire to the Governot
telling him what had been done. Be
fore replying Air. Solberg asked me
to see the newspapers and find out
| what reports if any they had sent
i out concerning the meeting so as to
■ prevent a useless repetition of facts
: i saw Air. Kilroy first and he
'sketched off about forty (4C). words
I or so touching on the salient points
,0!' the meeting, which he showed
; me. 1 afterwards asked Air. AIcGiv
; uey if lie had sent any reports out
| and lie answered no. Air. Solberg
| being busy at the time asked me to
i draw a telegram up for him and
j embody therein the resolution as lie
| believed the Governor should be
j acquainted with it and as the news
: papers had not sent it out it was
up to him to do so. That is how
it came to be “copied in”. Alt.
Dean who was in the Telegraph Of
fice at the time I was filing the te
legram told me he was sending a
copy of the resolution to the Presi
dent. I told Solberg was doing a
similar thing to the Governor. Air.
Dean took exception to such an act
and said it smacked of Politics. 1
took the message to Mayor Elect
Lomen, not wanting any unfair cri
ticism and asked him if the tele
gram contained anything that could
be fairly construed as being po
litical. He replied no and stated
Solberg was justified in his action
as a loyal and Patriotic citizen.
Now under ordinary conditions 1
would consider the statement which
appeared in your local news column
as a harmless political joke, but
these are not ordinary conditions.
Our country has declared war
against Germany and any man or
woman who had the patriotic spirit
! to raise to his feet in support of that
resolution would either be a hypo
crite or a cringing coward to make
light use of such sacred action. Now
; I am neither one nor the ot^ier; i
am in . my fiftieth year
and consider that I am
physically able to dc my share
of whatever work is assigned me
and ready to give my life for the
preservation and furtherance of De
mocratic institutions. This is my
declaration of Principles and I trust
will be the declaration of every citi
zen that has shared the benefits and
the blessings of American Liberty
and. Freedom.
Let us forget our provincial
grouches and childish criticism and
be Americans.
Yours respectfully,
THOS. GAFFNEY.
