HINCKS DENIES
 HE IS TO SPEAK AT MASS MEETING
Says Use of His Name En-
 tirely Unauthorized-Is Not in Sympathy.
July 24, 1918.

Ju1y A. 151os
 I read with great surprise in a morning paper that was scheduled to speak at a meeting at Seaside Park on Sunday, June 18th, in behalf of Mooney, the convicted bomb-thrower.
 Nothing could be further from the truth. I am at a loss to understand who could have made any such an- nouncement. intend to find out. As a matter of fact there never was a case in this country that I regarded with more horror and repulsion than the Mooney case. When I first read of the bomb being thrown into a crowd of innocent people who had gathered to see a preparedness day parade in San Francisco, hoped they would get the scoundrel who threw it and string him up on the highest branch of the biggest tree in Califor- mia. have always supposed Mooney had a perfectly fair trial. The courts of California are able and upright. The case has been so violently agl- tated that if any injustice had been done, I am confident the better sem fment of California would have rem edied it. I have known many cases where thought guilty men escaped, but I have known mighty few cases where I thought innocent men were condemned to death. All talk of a conspiracy to send an innocent man to the gallows is to my mind pure nonsense.
 There never was any possible ground for connecting me with this move- ment. I never heard of the meeting until I read of it in this morning s papers. am utterly out of sympathy with it. I wish the man who was re- sponsible for using my name would let me known why it was done. A good friend of mine once spoke of a mans being as popular as a skunk al lawn party. I fear if I were tc speak at the Mooney meeting should be just about as popular. Anyway shall not speak.

Opinief was by Justice Shumway.
