GAN FRANCISCO, April "a
- Thirteen years ago he was
strong, youthful and energetic.
Today he is weak, white haired,
emaciated by years of i'll health.
A dozen years Of prison life have
broken him physically although
his fighting spirit is as alive and
vibrant as ever.
Tom Mooney, about whom those
two contrasting pictures are paint
ed still is in prison. Some time
this spring. however, he may get
out. For Governor c. G. Young
has promised to make thorough
study Of the sixty pounds of af-
fidavitS, briefs and other docl-
ments that make up the records
on his case. and to take some
definite action on his longstand
ing plea for a pardon.
It was in 1917 that Mooney en-
tered San quentin penitentlary
after spending approximately a,
year in Jail He had been con-
victed of first degree murder,
A. jury found him guilty of hurl-
ing a bomb that exploded along
the line Of march in a great pre-
paredness parade here in July,
1915. killing ten people and injur-
ing thirty-fve more.
Mooney was sentenced to death.
In 1918 his sentence was conluted
to life imprisonment.
CINCE that time the Judge who
- tried and sentenced him has
become convinced that Mooney
is innocent. Nine of the ten sur
living members Of the jury that
found him guiltyt have reached
the same view.
The San Francisco police cap
rain who handled the investiga-
ton of the bombing also believes
him innocent. Most Of the evil
dence against Mooney has been
proved false.
So now, after twelve years of
imprisonment, Moneys case
comes up for a rehearing,
The most famous convict in the
courtry-the man whose case has
stirred comment and agitation
from one end of the country to
The other-ts at last about to find
out whether the world at large is
ready, now. to believe his constant
protests that he is innocent.
