NEW PICTURE OF
 TOM MOONEY CASE BY MAYOR WALKER
Aside From Real Facts i'm the Tragedy He Will Present the Existing Radical Atmosphere

San Francisco. November 27 = (UP) - Mayor Walker of New York plans to present q "new pic. ture" of the case against Ton Mooney, new atmosphere" 1T which eastern capital urgei Mooney's liberation to thwart rad. ical agitators," he indicated today
 This "new atmosphere" he in dicated, Is the new angle he ha. promised to inject into the first pardon hearing ever given Mooney by a governor of California.
 There will be no new evidence presented next Tuesday to Cover nor James Rolph, Jr, he said. The evidence as 1t is proves Mooney in- nocent, he added, so the atmos. phere Is all important now.
 Part of this new line of pleading the mayor indicated, will be 2 pic. ture of the case he himself will present to the governor, starting with the San Francisco prenared- ness day bombing of 1916, in which ten were killed and 40 injured, and bringing it down to the present.
 James Cromwell. stepson of E T. Stotesbury of Morgan and Com pany, and a member of the Wal ker party, will play an important part in the new phase of the hear ing, the mayor indicated.
 "Mooney's continued imprison- ment," Walker added, "has given radical agitators an opportunity to decide American justice and may result in a nationwide drive to un- dermine American institutions.
 Walker revealed another Key note of their pleas when he posed before sound camera with Frank P. Walsh, Aaron Sapiro and State Senator Hastings of New fork' other defense counsel.
 T firmly believe that an inno- cent man has been 1anguishing in prison for IS years" Walker said. ''Today 1t is Tom Mooney. Tomor.- row 1t may be you, or you, or you
 The mayor announced that Joseph Johnson, a former member of his cabinet and now @ Los An-- geles film executive, will be added to the Mooney counsel at the hear ing.
 The St Mary's- Oregon football game was the only recreation Mayor Walker permitted himself Thanksgiving day, spending the rest of the time on the Mooney case. He was scheduled to appear at two 1uncheons today.
 Having already met Mrs Mary A. Mooney, 84-year-old mother of the convicted man, Mayor Walker planned to visit Mooney at San Quentin prison before the hearing convenes. Walsh has been a daily visitor at the penitentiary, holding long conferences with his client.
 Mayor Walkers visit to Mother Mooney brought tears of joy to her eyes as she put her arms on his shoulders and thanked him for looming to help my boy"
 "Your courage and faith VIII some day be rewarded, and we hope it will be soon," Walker told her. T know the sacrifices my mother made for me and it is with the memory of that mother that am here now"

New York, Nov 27-(UP)-Sell- ing proceeded at an accelerated pace on the stock exchange to-day following closely a sharp reaction in wheat at Chicago and on other commo odity exchanges.
 Steel common sold below 55 for the first time in 16 years and near ly all the rails set new lows for the bear market dropping with railroad bonds which generally were weak. Copper shares alone worked against the trend.
 Traders, discouraged over the failure of the market to maintain it's gains of few weeks back were unloading at losses. Buyers were cautious and hence the sales only could be made at sizeable conces- sions.
 There were a few periods of slowing down in the selling and at these times prices came back slightly from the lows. These gains were not retained and as the end of the fourth hour neared the principal issues were making new lows for the major decline.
 Pressure converged on the rail- road list and no recovery was not ed in thi slist. The so-called Van Sweringen issues were hard hit, all making new lows. New York Gen. tral came near the 30 mark for the first time in history and Penn sylvania hit new low for more than 50 years.
 Losses in the cereal list were generally below points, although few of the rails were down more than that amount. American Car was a weak feature in the indus trials breaking points to. 6S 3-4 a new low since 1927. Radio cor poration, Radio Keith Orpheum and Trans-America corporation made record lows. International Telephone sold at 10 1-2 off l foi the first time.
 Copper shares rose under the leadership of American Smelting buying being inspired by prospects of curtailment of production now that the Belgium contingent swung into line with the other producers Shelters rose to 25 up 1-2 and others gained fractions to 2 points Part of the loses was erased, but the copper group was the only one to show any gain.
