don application of Billings, which
means that Governor Young will
reconsider the Mooney pardon re
quest also.
1t was only few weeks ago thai
the supreme court. strcssing the I'M
portancc of Mae Donald 5 testimony,
declined to recommend thGt the gov
ClnOr pardon Billings.
Previous to the court 5 action the
governor had announced that he con
>idcrcd the eases of Mooney and
Billings as parallels ana because the
court declined to favor the pardon
application of Billings the governor
denied the application of Mooney.
\ court recommendation in tn"
Billings case is necessary because
he had another felony conviction
prior to the preparedness day bomh-
ing conviction, while Mooney, With
hut one conviction, may be pardoned
10y the governor without action by
the supreme cOurt.
The appearance of Mae Donald in
the governor : office brought 70 Il
climax a series of interesting events
in the bitter Mooney-Billings con
trOVCrsy.
1t was the governor himself who
suggested in denying Mooney : par
don. that Macdonald be found and
returned to California to tell i'll per
son that repudiation story which he
told by affidavit in 1921.
1t is probable that the hearing
of Macdonald s story by the COVER
nor and court will be a joint hearing
and that the court will abide b.
Governor Ioung's wishes.
Rests With Macdonald
As for the governor. he said:
Il Il he in my office in the State
building in San Francisco tomorrow
and shall be glad TO 81" MaeDon-
ald and his attorneys if they call.
So while the fin1l judgment in the
case rests with the governor 50 far
as Mooney is concerned, and with
the supreme court and the governor
iu the ease of Billings. the responsi-
bilitv really rests on the thin shoul-
dcrs Of Mac Donald.
II Macdonald is able to convince
the governor and the court that he
lied during the trials and is telling
the truth now, Mooney and Bill
lnaS have chance to be free after
IT years in iails and prisons.
Should the reputation witness
fan to make the governor and the
court believe his story. then il j.
probable that Mooney and Billings
win remain a. prisoners for many
wears.
The story told hy Macdonald dur.
ing the trial of billings in 1916 i
that he saw Billings place the suit
ease containing the bomb at the
corner of market and Nteuart streets,
the scene of the explosion.
Mooney was near the corner also
and walked away with Billings, was
the Mac Donald story during the
Mooney trial.
Now Macdonald claims he didn t
see either man and that both were
identified for him hy san Francisco
police.
