DEFENSE SHOOTING
HOLES IN EVIDENCE
Mooney One Of Defendants
Put Up Strong Ahbi---Bl-
/. lings' Statement Frank

San Francisco Sept. 2O.-The de-
tense in the murder trial of Warren *.
Billings, charged with responsibility
for the preparedness parade bomb
tragedy, today attacked one of the
prosecution S strongest contentious
that the bomb was contained in suit
ease which was placed at Stewart and
| Market streets.
Attorney McNutt for the defense
called Dr. j. w. Moss of San Francis
60, who declared that just before the
explosion he saw large cylindrical
object dropping to the sidewalk.
DR.. Moss Indignantly denied that it
might have been an optical Illusion.
Selling magazine from Judge DUNES
bench he hurled it into the air dramat-
ically, and asked the prosecuting at
torney:
"Do you call thai an optical illus
ion!'
Thomas ]. Mooney, also charged with
murder in connection with the bomb eX-
plosion, was called by the defense. He
told of his movements on the day of
the tragedy. With his wife and his
aunt, he said, ~he was on the roof of
the Eilers building during the entire
parade. just before the parade start
ed, he said he was in his wife's music
al studio in the same building.
Mrs. Mooney was called after her
husband completed his testimony, and
told substantially the same story.
Two new witnesses for the defense
told of seeing a suitcase on the side
walk at Stewart and Market streets
for some time before the explosion.
One said he prevented a drunken man
from sitting on it, Major w. ]. Wat
son of Berkeley said he started to kick
it, but changed his mind.

Weaken States Case

San Francisco, Sept. 20.-Further at
tacks at vital points in the state S case
against Warren X Billings will be
continued today, according to Maxwell
McNutt, chief counsel for the defense
of the alleged preparedness parade
bomb plotter. McNutt frankly states
an acquittal is expected, following the
startling evidence produced yesterday.
Billings testimony in his own be-
half made good impression with many
as he proved an excellent witness. To-
dav the defense will examine further
witnesses in corroboratlon of his story
that he was not near Stewart and Mar
ket streets at the time of the eXplO-
sion. After this, an attack upon the
veracity OF John Mcdonald, one of the
states most important witnesses, will
be launched.
The prosecution is confident that
Billings story and that of his witness
es has failed to impress the jury. Pros
ecutor Brennan states that Billings has
told various stories of his whereabouts
that day, and that the state s witness
es have convinced the jury that Bill
ings, and not "double - was on the
roof at 72l Market street just before
the explosion.

Patient at Asylum
Proves To Be Convict

Readers of the city papers will recall
the arrest several weeks ago of a man
who gave the name of Pike Page. He
was arrested on complaint of South
Salem citizens who stated that he was
peeping in at windows and otherwise
acting in a peculiar manner, and aft
er an examination was committed to
the asylum for the insane.
The man at the time was laboring
under a delusion that he was being fol
lowed by people who were trying to
kill him by putting poison in his food,
and the excuse he gave for window
peeping was that he thought he recog-
nized in a house a woman who had been
particularly active in attempting to
poison him, and he had crept closer in
order that he might satisfy himself ON
the point.
Since his commitment to the asylum
he has improved rapidly and recently
he informed one of the physicians at
the institution that as long as he was
going to be locked up anyway he might
as well be locked up where he could get
credit for it. Upon being questioned
by the doctor as to what he meant, he
stated that his name is not Pike Page
but Joe Dart, and that he escaped from
the Virginia state penitentiary at Rich
mond, where he was serving term for
grand larceny.
The Virginia authorities We're com
mmicated with, and reply was re-
ceived yesterday from them that the
man tells the TRUTH and a picture en-
closed establishes his identity beyond
question.
1t is probable that Dart will be re-
turned to Virginia.

There was considerable excitement
in Market street this morning when
one OF the workmen employed by the

was a faint crash as Of iron striking

men carefully dug through the top and
uncovered a huge hole in the ground.

about fifteen feet wide. The moor rs
covered with cement and the sides and
roof are brlcked Investigation has
shown an opening through the front

the opening has been bricked up and
can no longer be used. Frank O'Don-

knowledge Of the vault
II is probable the vault was origi-
nally a wine cellar. The vault may
date back to the early part OF the
nineteenth century. The TOP of the
vault already had been pierced by
gas pipe and the top again cemented
and the vault forgotten.
The top OF the vault is only about
one foot below the street level and

necessary to remove a portion Of the
