She was outside the shack on

''Well?" He heard Captain
Blake'S voice raised for the
first time.
Doesn't look as if there is
a trace Of a finger print up

reply. ''I'll take a look around

"AIl right. Phelps, and tell

suggested Jardin, "and that's

Captain Blake asked quickly.

Captain Blake and Jardin con-

Dale was making a careful
minute inspection of his own

follows the visual facts of a
crime. The point which struck
him most forcibly was the fact
that the floor of the attic was
perfectly clean while the walls,
windows and window-frames,
and the slanting ceiling were
dust-laden.
There were four windows

Perhaps a man can love more

love is like the tide: when it

He reiterated that the Baltimore

The Baltimore prosecutor was brought
into the hearing at San Francisco yes

Court at which Macdonald said he had
perjured himself in testifying against
Billings and Mooney in the 1916 Pre-

Macdonald. according to dispatches,

there can be no doubt that Macdonald
did make the statement to me as I ad-
vised the California authorities that
very day.
I'm fairness. it might be added that
the interview we had mainly concerned
Mooney. But Macdonald, in his signed
statement the night before I saw him,
only mentioned that his testimony with
regard to Mooney was perjured. All of

OF whether Mooney had been improper

ROOSEVELT NAMED

President Gives Him Recess
Appointment to Post in

In the face of opposition from pro-

President Hoover yesterday gave
Nicholas Roosevelt of New York. a
recess appointment as Vice Governor
of the Philippine Islands.
The New York man, who Is q second
cousin of Gov. Theodore Roosevelt of
Porto Rico, now is an editorial writer
on the New York Times. He has writ
ten a book upon the Philippine prob
lens and has made lengthy study of
Far East conditions.
After his nomination was sent to the
Senate, leaders in the Philippine move
ment attacked his views and urged his
rejection. Pedro Guevara, the Resident
Commissioner in Washington; the
President of the Philippine Senate and
the Speaker of the Philippine House,
who was a member of the commission
which appeared before Congress at the
last session to urge independence, sub
mitted their opposition.
The Senate then declined to act upon
the nomination until hearings had been
held at the next session Of Congress.
II have rendered Mr.. Roosevelt an
interim appointment as Vice Governor
of the Philippines" the President said.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been so staunch in
his support of the interests of the
Philippine people and so sympathetic
with them, so enthusiastic ever their

understanding which has arisen in the

TELLS STORY To COURT.
Seven Justices Hear Macdonald Testi-
mOny in California,

SAN FRANCISCO, July 80 (P).-The
testimony of John Macdonald, Balti-
more waiter, that he psrjured himself
at the Mooney-Billings preparedness
parade bombing trials, was before the
California Supreme Court as the seven
justices prepared to delve further into
the matter today.
Macdonald testified yesterday his
identification of Thomas j. Mooney and
Warren K. Billings as the two men he
saw place a bomb at Steuart and
Market streets July %, 1916, was false.
He gave a troubled conscience as his
reason for appearing before the justices
TO testify he had been coached" to
identify Mooney and Billings as the
bombers. Both are serving life terms
in prison.
Frequent charges have been made for
years that the two men were rail
roaded" to prison because of their ac-
tivitieS on behalf of organized labor. A
street railway strike was in progress at
the time of the bombing.
Thesiustices are considering Billings
application for a recommendation for
pardon. Mooney. meanwhile, has ap-
piled to Gov. G. C. Young for pardon.
Macdonald was questioned four hours
ana insisted he was telling the truth
and branded his testimony in the
Mooney Billings cases as "a bunch of
i-s' which former District Attorney
Charles NJ. Fickert and Capt. (then
sergeant) Charles Golf of the San
Francisco police influenced him to tell.
The examination was conducted by
Associate Justice John w Preston, who
Piled Macdonald relentlessly with ques-
tons, Macdonald frequently was over
come by tears and OBVIOUSLY i'll.
At the close of tie ordeal he admitted
10 the question of Edwin W. Mckenzie.
Billings attorney, that the true and
the false regarding details of the bomb
ing outrage were so confused in his
memory he found it hard to distinguish
between them
Repeated atter~'z ard carefully
phrased questions Jailed to lake his
declaration the police and prosecuting
authorities had influenced him in his
Identification in 1916 of Billings and
Mooney and in his subsequent testimony
against them.
Billings attorney quickly seized upon
two documents presented to the hearing
by Justice Preston-papers which never
before had appeared in any judicial con-
sheraton of the cases of either Mooney
or, Billings.
The first was MacDonald's first state
nient TO police, two days after the bomb
ing, in which he described the man who
planted the suit case, presumably con-
tanning the bomb, and the man the
bomber met at the door of a nearby
saloon. In the trials the first had been
identified by Macdonald as Billings and
the second as Mooney.
The defense attorneys pointed out
the descriptions given in the original
statement, and repeated in the second
document the report of the policemen
who took the statement to his superior.
Capt. Duncan Matheson, did not fit
Mooney and Billings.
