bomb exploded that killed 10 persons
Thomas Mooney and his wife were
standing on a roof mile and a half
away from the explosion. A snap
shot was taken of both. In the line
of the camera was a. street clock,
which showed that the picture had
been taken at fifteen minutes to two

minutes previous to the time Thomas
Mooney was seen by one of the wit

Disreputable Witnesses.
Over against the unimpeachable
testimony of the street clock was set
that of person known to be a no.
torious crook, of woman who had
been arrested by the police on the
charges of murder and prostitution,
of another woman who is reported as
saying that she would hang a man
for so cents. On such agents did the
district attorneys office, carrying out
the orders of the San Francisco Cham
ber of Commerce, rely for the con-
summation of the hideous crime of
sending an innocent woman to the
gallows. The New York Globe in
dealing editorially with this Infamous
plot against the life Of Rena Mooney
properly characterizes it when it says:
''All doubt is removed that the prose-
cutting authorities of San Francisco,
responsive to Chamber of Commerce
tnfluences that are mad, have been
engaged in a deliberate attempt to
convict of the greatest of crimes inno-
cent persons. The whole case against
