MOONEY TO HANG

Tom Mooney will be hung if
Judge Griffin's judgment of last
Tuesday is carried into effect
lie sentenced Mooney to the gal
lows again, the sentence to be
carried into effect in not less than
sixty days and not more than
ninety days from the date Of
judgment.
Judge Griffin further ordered
that Mooney be sent to his death
cell in San Quentin prison in ten
days from the date of judgment,
Saturday, June 18th.
"If there were any more room
for stains on CALIFORNIA; escutch-
con in connection with the Mooney
case" says the Chicago Labor
News, that stain was added to
on Tuesday when Judge Griffin
denied Tom Mooney Il new trial,
although admitting that the evil
dence on which he was convicted
was perjured evidence, and that
the law, as laid down by the
supreme court was harsh and an
Just, leaving no redress for any
one convicted unjustly and i'll
egally.
"In these tense times, when
an appeal has gone out from the
nation that all the people should
give and give again to the Am
erican Red Cross in orGe1 ...4.
that wonderful sisterhood might
carry its mission of mercy to the
sick and wounded and dying, that
great state of California, through
it's chosen legal representatives
blazens forth to the world that
there is no justice, no mercy and
no fairness in the laws of the
state, and in order that legal
red tape may not be frayed, they
would deliberately murder on in
nocent man whom both the trial
judge and the encouragement
of the state admit was convicted
on perjured testimony.
Judge Griffin has decided that
he can do no more in the Mooney
case except to re-sentence Mooney
to the gallows," comments The
Bulletin. "Under the law he
cannot grant a motion leading
towards a new trial, since in his
own words, "a judgment canHot
be set aside because it is pre-
dicated upon perjured testimony
or because material evidence is
concealed or suppressed" Judge
Griffin was convinced by the Ok
man letters that the judgment
in Moneys case was "predicated

was not convinced until it had
become legally impossible for him
to grant a motion for a new
trial. In its present position the
case is a perfect illustration of
legality compelling an injustice.
Apparently if every witness
against Mooney should confess
tomorrow that he or she lied
nothing but what is called Eek
ecutive clemency" could prevent
Mooney from being hung. If the
governor did not wish to pardon
or reprieve the prisoner he could
not legally be compelled to. I'm
til Governor Stephens acts Moon
ey is as much down and out as
a man could be, irrespective of
his guilt or innocence. The press
propaganda against Mooney has
been sinking and mean It has
been, in short, a long invocation
of the lynching spirit"

dence or testimony introduced to
prove me guilty of the act
charged.
8. Because, all but two of even
the prosecutions witnesses testi-
fled that they had never seen the
'sticker" which constitutes the
basis of the charge against me
and ALL of said witnesses tes-
titled to the fact that | had
NEVER drawn their attention
thereto
10. Because, with the excep-
ton of Mr.. +. +. Swale, whose
testimony was impeached, all of
the prosecutions own witnesses
testified as to my good reputa
ton and to the fact that they had
never heard me utter any seditious
or reasonable statements.
II. Because, it was clearly
proven that the "sticker" had been
sticking on the end of the book
case, in my office, for at least
three years prior to my taking
possession of the office and that
| had never printed or caused to
be printed or circulated any of
the said stickers, and that the
one found in the office was post
ed in the most obscure and dark
corner of the office.
y. Because, even if the far
fetched conclusion is drawn that
was responsible for the sticker
remaining posted up, it was prov
en- beyond any doubt whatever,
that it was not done with any
intent to violate the law, or to
cause others to do so.
IS. Because, had | desired to
DO so, might have, with good
reason and logic, contended that
the Military Ideal" amplified by
the sticker, referred to the Prus-
sian Military system which our
government and our Allies are
pledged to destroy, and that |
was therefore performing a dis

by permitting the sticker to re-

prosecution over our objection) in

correctly, Your Honor instructed
the jury that said correspondence
showed no reference to or con-
nection with said sticker
Is. Because, it was not proven
(nor could it have been proven)
that | distributed any literature
from my office for the purpose
Of hampering the Government in
its war activities, or with the
intent to violate any law.
16. Because, it was not proven
(nor could it have BEEN that the
money received by me for Party

II. Because it is a moral

COOP PROGRESS

There was fairly good at
tendance at the meeting of the
Puget Sound Cooperative Whole
sale Society at Seattle. Tenn
porarily it was decided to divide
the work of organization and
business on the following basis:

 The reading of the remainder of the indictment against M. Malvy occupied mere than three hours. The second mart of the indictment related to Nal WIS intimacy with persons of un- savory reputation including Miguel Almereda and others conencted with the Bonnet Rouge.
 A hush fell over the court room when the name of Duval was men tioned. as he was executed this morn ing. NJ. Malvy appeared to shrink and shudder but he soon recovered and listened in a bored manner. Referring to M. Malvy's association with certain newspapermen, M. Peret former minister of justice, who rea6 the indictment, created a sensation when he mentioned the newspaper Eveil. The editor of this publication Jacques D.
