SUPREME COURT ASKED.
T0REvIEW MOONEY CASE
Application Is Based on Ground
That He Had Been Denied Con-
stitutional Guarantee.

The Supreme Court in a petition
fled by counsel yesterday was asked
to review the case of Thomas J.
Mooney. San Francisco, labor leader.
who was sentenced to death fol. mur-
der in connection with a, bomb plot
in that city.
The petition viii be formally pre-
eented to the court November II. The
appeal comes from the supreme court
Of California which upheld the deci-
sion of the lower state courts finding
Mooney guilty.
Since the conviction labor leaders
have repeatedly appealed to the Gov
ernor of California and President Will
son has interested himself in the case
without avail.
Moneys application for action by
the Supreme Court Is made upon the
broad ground that he has been denied
due process of law" guaranteed I'M
der the Constitution, because of al
legged fraud in the use of perjured
testimony.
In the application which outlines
the entire history of the case. Mooney
contends that lin the procurement of
a judgment of conviction of felony
by the use of perjured testimony by
and duty toward the accused is jul
dicia1 in character. there has been
committed denial to the accused of
the right to be tried with due process
of Law and that the accused has been
denied the equal protection of the
laws"
The California courts. the applica-
ton declared. did not consider the
constitutional plea made by Mooney,
and therefore the Supreme Court is
4Skad- to decide the question by-re-
viewing the proceedings.
