EsteIIe Smith Is Branded as
Perjurer by Her
Mother.
BY MAX STERN
Times stan Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 19.-OnC
more confession came into the
MONEY! Billings "retrial" here with
unexpected and dramatic effect.
It was the confession Of Fremont
Older. veteran editor, that he, once
an implacable foe Of crooks, now
has ceased to believe in revenge
force. war and punishment.
Older, "a, with the frame OF a
giant, but the spirit of a Tolstoy,
parted the onslaughts of Justice
John w. Preston with words that
elevated the hearing from the cat
and-dog fight it has been for many
days.
7 believe in the sermon on the
mount" Older said to one of
Prestol's question. Il used to be-
lieve quite the opposite. Now I be-
lieve that if the world is ever to
be saved it must be saved through
.Jve. through kindness. 1 think we
should Judge as little as possible"
Preston tried to connect Older
with the anti-preparedness "animuS
that led to the explosion, of stirring
up the worldwide opposition TO the
conviction Of Mooney and Billings.
Result Is Terrible Injustice"
Older told him he became con-
WINGED of their innocence with the
Oxman perjury expose and has be-
come more and more convinced ever
since.
Older said he did not think that
ex-DiStrict Attorney Charles Fickert
and his aids deliberately had
framed" the men into prison, but
blamed the late Martin Swanson for
producing them at a time when the
people we're calling for blood.
I'm not blaming any one" he
said. but the result has been a
terrible injustice. My interest has
been in behalf of California, of
America. I am convinced these men
are innocent, and 1 think you,
Judge Preston, are too. We all are. "
Mondays hearing developed other
surprises. One was ali affidavit
from Estelle Smiths mother, Mrs.
Alice Kidweu, branding her own
daughter a perjurer. She told of
hearing conversations in which
Fickert promised reward money to
her daughter.
ITO Fix Bombing Blame"
Another was the new testimony
Of Bernard Dunn, assistant super
intendent of the Eilers building
corroborating the word Of some
twenty witnesses, the clock and the
camera to the effect that the
MONEYS were or the roof of his
building between las and 2:10, on
the afternoon Oman and Mac
Donald swore they saw Tom Mooney
with Billings a mile away just be-
fore the explosion.
The hearing may extend beyond
the present week. Cunha and Flick
ert have asked to be heard. State
Senator Edgar Hurley, who Billings
said paid him SIS for the suitcase
carrying trip to Sacramento that
led to his first arrest. has demanded
10 be heard in denial.
And Preston has declared he will
produce witnesses that will show
beyond doubt Just who planted
the bomb

Spring Has Came"

The first play will be Holiday" BY
Philip Barry the brilliant young Har-
ward playwright, who also startled New

Holiday" which induced the New YORK
Times, in its editorial column. to de.
clare, referring to the enthusiasm OF
the dramatic critics for Mr.. Barrys
play, that where there is such unanim-
ity of opinion, there must be cause"
And incidentally this is a pre-release
of the play for repertory purposes, Tor
re screen rights of its production were
,a5ld but a week ago, which should be
a big feather in the cap of Manager
Cochran.
Briefly the story deals with that I'M
productive class of the affluent who are
so beset with temptations of the pleas
ant kind that the very striving for en-
joyment fairly empties their lives OF
pleasure Two sisters figure in the ro-
mantle episodes with young idler who
has retired to enjoy his wealth at the
early age of 80.
Mr.. Barry the playwright is reputed
to be one of the smarteSt dialogue Styl-
lists in the country, and Gilbert Gabriel,
a New York critic said of him that "he
has the gift of blowing bubbles right
under your nose into cool, singing lit

son in New York, where it was produced
by Arthur Hopkins at the Plymouth

WHEN James Sheridan Knowles

is presenting in his revival of the classic
drama, his preface to the manuscript
and printed play was as follows:
This play was written in great haste
and, no doubt, abunds in defects, but
it Is question whether it would have
been less imperfect had taken year
to compose 1t. It was resolved and ex-
ecuted in three months, in the midst of
very numerous and arduous avocations.
To the distinguished individuals who
I shall ever feel grateful.
at owe the public an apology for the
last act; and this is my apology: His
tory gives two accounts of the manner
of Appius' death; one, that he commit
ted suicide, the other that he was de-
troyed privately by the tribunes. Had
I selected for my catastrophe the latter
incident, the character of the tyrant
had stood too prominent; by adopting
the former I should have violated the
respect due to a Christian audience.
After having excited such an interest
for Virginius, it would have been inde-
cent to represent him in the attitude Of
taking the law into his own hands.
therefore adopted the idea of his de-
stroying AppiuS In At of temporary
insanity, which gives the catastrophe
the air of visitation of Providence.

gree in which I am indebted to the

thermore, the apparent slackening Of
