Demands Supreme Justices
Urge Full Pardon.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 29.-Ed-
win Mckenzie, counsel for Warren
K. Billings, today asked the state
supreme court to recommend to
Governor Young a full and uncon-
ditional pardon for Billings.
Mckenzie filed an eighty-seven-
page brief in which he attacked the
prosecutions case against Billings
and Thomas j. Mooney, who have
served fourteen years on a charge
of exploding bombs at the 1916 Pre-
paredness day parade.
Without respect to the cause
thereof, the sovereignty california;
has made a mistake Mckenzie ar
gued. THAT settled, there appears
but one way to go. There can be
no middle ground One is never
part guilty and part innocent. In
nocence deserves a pardon.
Mckenzie reviewed the recent
four weeks rehearf1lg on the Bill
ingS pardon plea, brought about by
the finding of the perjurer, John
Macdonald.
He called the roll of the states
five chief witnesses, the Edeau wom-
en-. Oxman, Macdonald and Estelle
Smith. Then he set these up against
the five defendants, comparing their
testimony with the convincing sto-
ries, backed by clocks, cameras and
corroborating witnesses, Of the
MONEYS, Billings, Nolan and Vein
berg.
1--WE say that the innocence of
the defendants has been demon
strated under every law of reason"
Mckenzie concluded. 1--WE appeal
to the intellect of men. We ask a
calm. clear analysis of the testimony
in order that the mistake that the
state has made stand corrected.
