MY POSITION
(By Tom Mooney

The case of Warren K. Billings
and myself, has, within the past year,
taken a turn more favorable to US
than during the previous five years
OF our Imprisonment. This condition
has been brought about by agitation
throughout the entire world exposing
the conspiracy against US.
At this time there is a division in
the minds Of some of our supporters
as to the proper way in which the
final solution of our case should be
brought about. This division is the
result of false reasoning from false
basis
The Mooney case has long ceased
to be an issue where in the uues-
ton Of justice enters. For a long
time it has been a political issue in
city and state politics and will be set
tied on the basis of political failure
or success by those who have the
power to determine the final solution.
Some people still believe that it is
possible for a working man to gain
justice in the courts of capital | for
one do not believe it, nor have | be-
leVed 1t at any time during the six
years of my incarceration. | main
tain that the courts are the instru-
ments of the rich and for the sub
iugation of the poor. The night
was convicted | told a newspaper re-
porter that my hope was not in the
courts but in organized labor move
ment of the world.
Some people think because of the
favorable turn of events in our case
that it is now possible to secure
Justice through the legal or court
channels. This is not so. An limo
cent man may be framed" by the
courts and convicted and after con-
viction his only remedy is with the
governor. Under the laws of Cali
fornia he cannot be granted a new
trial because the record of the case
has been closed and after the record
is closed, additional information prov
ing complete innocence cannot be in
troduced. The courts will do moth
ing; the only recourse lies in the
pardoning power of the governor.
In my case we could not prove the
use of perjury during the trial and
when we were finally in a position
to do so, the record had been closed
and the higher courts could not take
ccognizance of the evidence. They
nave told me many times that my
remedy is with the governor. am

The one bare chamber, where his work-worn wife
Above the stove and washtub passed her life.

But saw not that sunless, breathess lair,
The chambers saggng roof and reeking floor;
The smeared walls, broken sash and battered door.
The foulness and forlornness everywhere
| saw a great house with the portals wide
Upon a banquet room and, from without
The guests descending in brilliant line
By the stir's statued inches, and beside
The Oveliest of the gemmed and siIken rout
