MOONEY BITTER
 OVER REFUSAL
Claims He Was ''D0uble- Crossed" in Plea for Pardon

San Quentin State Prison, Calf, July 9 (UP)-Tom Mooney, his face lined with the marks of 14 years ot convict life, today walked mechan- ically through his duties in the city of grey walls"-San Quentin prison. Bitterness and dejection were writ ten in his face.
 Only few hours had elapsed since he had been informed that Governor c. C. Young had refused to grant him a pardon from his con- viction of participation in the 191 preparedness day bombing in San Francisco.
 ed by newspapermen in the warden s outer office.
 Says He was "Doublecrossed"
 T was doublecrossed," he cried. Tt was not fair to link Billings case and mine together. I was given as- surance eight months ago that my request for a pardon would be met favorably-and this is the result.
 Young was present three days be- fore the bombing when a detective from the Pacific Gas & Electric Company offered Billings $500 10 frame me. He was a state senator at that time. He knows now, and will always know, that I am an in- nocent man"
 He declared that the advisory board was merely tool of the gov ernor and followed his instructions ir the matter of a pardon.
 We may not be able to get juc- tice from this administration but we will from the next Mooney shout ed.
 The supreme court ruling on Billings request for a pardon was one of the crudest, most unscholariv and injudicial reports ever handed down in a high court.
 Labor Class With Him
 "The rank and file of laboriag people support me and they arc traitors to their cause if they help elect Governor Young to office again"
 At this period, Warden Holohan entered and stopped Mooney with a gesture. then added:
 That will do, Mooney. I want to be fair with you, but I will not have this place turned into an institution of propaganda.
 The convict turned and walked slowly to his cell.
 When told that his wife, Rem, had been in seclusion since before the governors refusal was made known. Mooney replied:
 T hope she can bear the news better than l have. Maybe she doesn't know yet and if so I'm glad This constant hope of a pardon has kept her courage up for many years ard I don't know if she can go on without it.
 Seeks Mcdonald
 The convicted man revealed that he had requested the league for the Mooney defense to get in touch with Frank Walsh in New York, his at torney during the trial, in an effort to locate John Mcdonald, waiter who first identified Mooney as the perpetrator of the bomb outrage and later repudiated his testimony. 1t was on Mcdonald and other trial witnesses that he would center his new fight for freedom, Mooney declared.
