To TELL Of
EXPLOSION
DETAILS

SAN FRANCISCO. July 20
That Warren X. Billings, held
by the police as the principal
suspect In the suitcase dyns.
rnitlng case, has offered to
confess, was the belief today.
Emerging from a conferences
with Billings to-day, during
which the suspect was again
severely cross examined. Dis
triet Attorney Fiekert said:
Billings has admitted that
he was IT."
what do you mean by 't'7"
FIckert was =sked. DO you
mean he admits he was the
man who placed the bomb7"
81 can't say that" replied
Fickert.
Two ether suspects have offered
10 tell "all they know" Fickert said.
They asked in return that they b
given immunity and concessions
from the prosecutors.
Fickert said the offer could no4
be accepted. as officials already
know all they want TO know from
the two.
Julius Kohn, zsid TO be friend
OF Thomas Mooney. one OF the sus-
poets, was detained by the police
today. He will be questioned by
Capt. Matheson. Other arrests
are predicted.
SEA To File Murder Cnsrve---,
Fickert indicated that the two
suspects wanted u give the polico
information regarding the part
played by others N the bomb plot
and that a statement from Billings
regarding the case had been In po-
lice hands since yesterday.
Attorney Reisaer. representing
Leo Weinburg. a jitne driver. and
one OF the suspects, applied for .
writ OF habeas corpus to free his
client
Ffckert countered this move BY
announcing that he would at once
file a charge Of murder.
The head OF the alleged ring ~
still at large. police said. but he Ia
under surveillance. and may be
taken at any time.
Ball Bearings in Bodies
A ball OF Sscel an automOOli0
bearing of an old size. was tho
prime clew which aided the police
in weaving about Billings a net OF
evidence which
caused his arrest.
Fickert this morning revealed
that a number 81 what heretofore
have been regarded as "slugs"
found in the bodies of persons
killed by the bomb. were. really
ball bearings.
Bearings found in Billings room
we're identical in size. Fickert said.
Billings worked some time ago
for the Cadillac garage. he said.
He was discharged. and a number
OF bearings were later found to be
missing.
Detectives are expected to estab-
lish definitely today whether
Thomas Mooney and his wife were
connected with the dynamiting.
Mrs. Mooney was put thru a severe
sweating. based on the identifica-
tion OF a hat she is said TO have
worn last Saturday.
This hat was identified by Miss
Estelle Smith. who has already
identified Billings as man she saw
on the roof of Market st. building
shortly before the explosion.
