TIME TO RIGHT INJUSTICE
MOONEY CASE AT THE FORE
AGAIN
-o
| c Governor C. C. Young of Calif
ornia has intimated tnat he will
examine the cases against Thos.
J. Mooney ana Warren K. Bill
ings, now serving life sentences
in ban Quentin penitentiary for
taking part in a bomb explosion
that killed ten persons and
wounded forty others during a
preparedness parade in San
Francisco in 1916.
The latest development is an
allidavit by Estelle Smith, who
swears that she was threatened
with imprisonment if she didn’t
'‘identify” Mooney.
| It is hard to see how the Gov
'ernor can do less than pardon
the men, and urge the legisla
ture to make some financial
compensation for the years they
| have spent in prison. The case
| is really one of the most as
tounding pieces of labor baiting
ever known.
Judge Franklin A. Griffith who
presided at the Mooney-Biii
ings trial and sentenced tne de
iendants, has been fighting for
! ten years, first to get tnem a new
trial and then to secure a par
don. In a recent letter to Gov
ernor Young, Judge Grifnin says:
“buosequent revelations damn
ed every witness who testified
before me against them as per
| jurious or mistaKen. itstene
♦ j Plinth lias admitted her testi
•' mony was false. The Edeous
♦ were completely discredited. Ox
♦ man is completely out of the
•'case, as a perjuror who has also
i i.rieu to suborn perjury in anoth
♦ trier witness. John McDonald
f lias since sworn to an affidavit
that he knew nothing about the
; crime.”
Sucn a statement from the
tnai judge ought to settle the
case, in addition, every living
, ijuror, save one, has urged the
I pardon oi Mooney arid Billings,
j These men were “framed be
1 cause certain employing inter
| ests of San Francisco, particular- i
J iy the public utility interests, |
1 wanted to discredit the organ
ized labor movement, and con
scienceless public officials were
willing to co-operate with crook
ed detectives in manufacturing
evidence to “railroad” innocent
men to the gallows or the peni
" tentiary.
J. B. Densmore, a leading offi
cial of the Department of Labor,
who investigated the matter for
the United States government,
I says so in his report of the case,
iand continues:
j “As for their plan of opera
' tions, it was simplicity itself. A
terrible crime had been commit- '■
ted, and popular indignation and
horror glowed at fever heat.
I “From the standpoint of the
unscrupulous element among the |
employing interests, the oppor- ‘
tunity seemed made to order. To
blame the outrage on certain
agitators in the labor world
doubtless appealed to the foes of
organized labor as possessing all
the elements of a stroke of
genius.
“Fickert (the district attorney
during the Mooney trial) and his
associates have conspired to fa
bricate evidence, and have at
tempted, in the grossest manner,
to intimidate and blackmail a
prospective woman witness.”
It is nardly necessary to say
more. Mooney and Billings are
entitled to a pardon, and to such
poor restitution as can be made
for the ten years they have spent
in prison.”—LABOR, Washington
D. C.

CAPT. ALFRED DREYFUS
-—o—
Was a Jewish Coptain in the ,
French Army who was convict
ed by a secret military tribunal
in 1894 of having divulged state
secrets to a foreign power, and
was sentenced to penal servitude
for life. He was imprisoned on
Devil’s Island, French Guiana.
The efforts to obtain revision of
his case involved men prominent
in all branches of the service
and agitated France for years.
He was accorded second trial in
the fall of 1899 and sentenced
to ten years imprisonment and
later was pardoned when suicide
and confession of the real prin
cipal in the case made indisput
able Drefeyus’ innocence.
It will be remember that the
stir made in American diplomat
ic circles had considerable bear- ;
ing on the reopening of this ;
case. Regardless of raciality the !
right should and must prevail ;
was the sentiment of Americans. ;
The ardor and heat of war has ;
now passed many years. Moon- ;
ey and Billings still pay the pen- '
alty of the madness of wars and ;
labor wars. This case remains ;
a blot upon the reputation of
the justice and fairness of the <
American people. Every organ
ization with any love of the
principles of liberty, justice and
freedom, should raise its voice in
protest against the continuation
of the persecution of Mooney
and Billings.
