M00NE US FREEDOM IS
NEAREST: REALIZATION I
]; DUE TO APPEAL COURT
California Court Of i. Appeals
/. Grants New '1flaIto Brady
Another Perjury Victim. !
pY RICHARD RoHAIAN

San Francisco, April Am i'm
portant and far-reaching precedent
has. just been established by the CAL
ifornia District Court Of Appeals
which is likely to obtain the: free.
dom of Tom Mooney and Warren
K Billings, militant labor :, leaders
who were condemned to- life impris-
onment upon perjure testimony.
Almost coincident with the filing
Of Tom MONEYS appeal. before the
same court, seeking to upset the de-
cision by lower court denying a
writ of audita querela, came the
Court Of Appeals decision ordering
a .re-trial in the case of Thomas
Brady, convicted of assault. in the
notorious. Howard Street case. Brady
had been convicted on perjured'. tes-
timony which District Attorney
Matthew L. Brady had sought to
conceal. Today Brady is free on
very nominal bail, pending a re-trial
which is; certain to clear him Of the
crime charged. > -.
The only: difference between the
status Of the. Mooneu-Billings de-
fense and that of. the Howard Street:
defendant, from a. purely legal point
of view, is that perjury in the: Moo
ney case was not discovered and es-
ia blished until after the statutory
period for applying for a new trial
had expired. In the case Of Brady,
it was discovered during the pro-
gress or shortly after the trial.
But, as Byron c. Parker, attorney
for Mooney, convincinsly points out,
perjury is perjury and the victim,
NO matter. how much time had
elapsed, is entitled to a. remedy, In
the Howard Street case, the remedy
was obtained under the law; in the
Mooney frameup. the relief is sought
in equity. ,>.', .",..
~ It will be extremely difficult for
the District Court of Appeals to de-
ny the petition for Mooney in the
face OF its decision in the Brady case.
The jurists,. Langdon,. Sturtevant and
Nourse,| were quite violent in their
condemnation Of the lower court for
ruling sout, during the process of the
trial. evidence to show perjury by a
prosecution witness In upsetting
the conviction, the Court of Appeals
invoked with an unusually religious
tervor the rights of man" and so on.

concession in question gives the

oil in the Czecho-Slovakian oil fields
and to export oil after production has
surpassed the domestic requirements.
The contract. already approved by

900 crowns during a period of five
years. and then leaves the

objection of the senate commission to
the contract is the fact that they feel
the home refineries. which are largely
owned, are not sufficiently
