ing a Preparedness Day Parade, was
ps shown later convicted on manufac
tured and perjured testimony intro

Griffin, in whose court Thomas Moon
ey was convicted and who some time
ago made a statement that had the
facts in regards to Oxman’s “Prose
cuting Attorney Fickert’s main wit
ness” perjured testimony come before
him when Mooney’s Attorneys made
a request for a new trial, that he most
certainly would have granted it has
appealer to Governor Stephens of

i test- organized labor against Moon

cell at St Quentin interceded, be
cause he thought a strike at that time
would obstruct the war program of
the United States.
