San Francisco.-District Attorney

case before the county grand jury.
This announcement follows the charge
by Detective Hand that he assisted in
coaching witnesses in the trial Of
Mooney, who was convicted of being
connected with the bomb throwing in
this city in 1916.
The supreme court has refused to
grant Mooney a new trial on the
ground that perjury was used in his
conviction. The court holds that it
can crly order a new trial if it is
shown by the record Of the case that
irregular methods were used at
Moneys trial
The perjury was not discovered un-
til the record of the trial was closed.
Mooney must now depend on par
don by the governor. Other indict
ments are pending against Mooney.
and q new trial can be practically Sc
cured if the governor pardons him
and ne is then tried on another of the
charges Mooney and his friends have
urged this course, but to date the gov
ernor has declined. The statement by

ed pardon, and sustains the claim that
