iBy Review Leased wire)

guard of deputy sheriffs the jury try ! ing Mrs. Rena Mooney for murder growing out of the bomb explosion | here last July made a tri pof in- spection today to the scenes involv- ed in the trial Accompanying the jury were Mrs. Mooney, Superior Judge Emmett Seawall and attorneys representing the state and defense.
 After a lapse of nearly year Mrs. Mooney again saw the apartment in which she and her husband, Thomas J. Mooney resided at the time of the ex- plosion. Moone yis under sentence Of death for one of the bomb murders. Mrs Mooney sobbed when the jur- ors were inspecting her library and other parts of the apartment.
 The scene of the explosion also was visited
 At the conclusion of the cross exam ination of Mrs. Mooney early in the afternoon the defense rested it's case. The state called a number of witness es in rebuttal and Assistant-District Attorney Louis Ferrari announced that the states rebuttal would be con cluded tomorrow morning when it was expected arguments woul abe started.
 The demand of Juror Charles L. Beal that Captain of Detectives Dunan Metheson explain what he called the third degree method" used by the police in obtaining a statement from Israel Weinberg, one of the defend ants in the bomb case, created a sen- sation.
 After the state had recalled Vein berg to the stand and he testified that he had bee nrudely awakened from a sound sleep, not allowed to put on his clothes and compelled to make a statement with a searchlight trained on his face" Matheson was called to give his version of the affair.
 Matheson exhibited a small desk lamp which he said was the search light that played on Weinberg's face. Weinberg said he could not identify the lamp as the one used by the officers.
 q would like to hay ethe whole story" said Juror Beal. I would like to know why a man is awakened at g o'clock at night, as it seems to me there is enough time in daylight for the police to get statements. Some consideration should be given a per son. If the court will permit, l want an explanation"
 The state declared it had no objec- ton to permitting Matheson to tell the story.
 At the time we had Weinberg iB jail we were working twenty-four hours a day" said Matheson. "We had to take interviews when he had the time There was nothing to show that he was asleep when l ordered him brought before me. told him he did not have to make statement unless he wanted to and he said he had nothing to conceal"
 If you wanted to be fair why did the police keep Mrs. Mooney in a batheroom for two days and nights after her arrest?" asked Attorney Thomas O'Connor.
 Matheson said he was not present when Mrs. Mooney was put in the bathroom but he said conditions in the city prison made it necessary to confine her there. He said she was in the bathroom only A hours andl that he saw she was removed to more com modious quorters.
 Mrs. Mooney complained to me of the treatment accorded her by Assist ant District Attorneys Cunha and Brennan. She sai dshe was i'll and told her she could have a doctor"
 Under grilling cross examination Mrs. Mooney reiterated statements made on the stand yesterday by which she hopes to prove an alibi on the day of the explosion.
 John Lawler, one of the witnesses called by the state in rebuttal, said he had first see nMrs. Mooney on the roof of the building in which she liv- ed at ? p. m. on the day of the ex. plosion. The explosion occurred at ! 2:06 D. m.
 ! Lawler admitted that he had tesUi- fled at the Warren K Billings trial that he first saw Mrs. Mooney at 1:45 or 1850 p. m.
 The state contended that Mrs Moon ey arrived on the roof at ? D. m. after she had accompanied the other de- fendants in the bomb cases to the scene fthe explosion, where Billings was alleged to have deposited the suitcase containing the bomb. Billings was convicted and sentenced to life Imprisonment.
