and HOUSE AT DENVER

tended At present Denver is tech
nically violating the law. they said.
What started out as n ridicule of a
bill in the house Tuesday afternoon
turned to passive liberation and later
to earnest c, sideration when the
measure to allow school boards to
employ physicians. nurses and dental
examiners came before the body.
Supporters were successful, in having
the bill referred back to the medical
affairs committee, after an effort had
been made to strike out the euacting
clause. Later 1t will be referred to
the committee on education.
Representative Minnie C. F.. Love.
who sponsored the bill. took the floor
after n number of members had in
dulged themselves In making fun OF

that there were hundreds of pupils in
the schools OF every city in the state
who were suffering from malnutrition
and defective eyesight, who would be

they were given corrective attention
while young. She cited figures COM
piled by the Denver school board
which indicated that in this city.

the injustice done the defendants in
these cases"
Mcdonald. formerly a circus per-
former, was the inmate of Saliva
ton Army hotel here at the time of
the explosion. He told former Police
man Hextron and acquaintances at
the hotel that he had seen two men
lures Of Mooney and Billings as the
men he had seen.
He was then takcn In charge by the
police department and held under
guard thruout the trials. According
to the police and Cunha. he was not
teered every statement and identifi-
cation he made. The defense held that
he could not have secn the bomb set
ting AS there was dense crowd
around tho scene for an hour or more
before the bomb exploded.
Tho other two statements were
made by James Brennan. who as as
sistant district attorney prosecuted
Billings, and Policeman Draper Hand.
who arrested some of the principals.
to the effect that there wero indica-
tions OF irregularity in the evidence
against the suspects.
Had I been on the Billings jury
and had the knowledge of the case
now possess, I would not have vot-
cd to convict" Brennan said.

dencc against the suspects was

It was hoped by District Attorney
Brady that the grand jury would pre-
pare a report to the governor. which
would aid him in final disposition
of the Mooney case.
The offer of Frank p. Walsh, spc-
cial counsel in tho Mooney defense.
to return Mcdonald to San Francisco
for a reitoration OF his statement to
tho local authorities will be accepted,
District Attorney Brady said today.
Il will give him every opportunity
to appear before tho grand jury and
present this evidence" Mr.. Brady said.
