Carries Fight for Release
From Prison to u. S.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Thomas
j. Mooney today carried his fight
for release from San Quentin peni-
Tertiary to the supreme court.
Mooney, through his attorneys,
filed with the clerk of the court a
motion to be allowed to file a petit
ton for an original writ of habeas
corpus raising grounds correspond
ing roughly to those submitted to
the federal district court in Califor-
nit recently. The lower court re-
fused the writ which raised the long
standing question of the use of per-
jured testimony at his trial on
charges of instigating the Prepared
ness day parade bombing in 1916.
MONEYS motion formally was
presented to the court by John F.
Finerty of his counsel. Chief JUS
tice Charles Evans Hughes gave i'm
mediate permission to file papers in
the motion. This did not mean,
however, that the court had taken
jurisdiction on the writ application
It merely authorized the attorney to
file the necessary legal papers.
A decision on whether permission
is granted to start habeas proceed
ingS was expected Nov. 5.

DDS brought the first rumblingS of
controversy at the start of the
American Bankers Association con-

The critical appraisal by Robert
M. HaneS, a North Carolina banker,
came at the opening session of the
important convention, which met in
a surface atmosphere, at least, of
cooperation with the administra-
ton for business recovery.
Mr.. Hanes, president of the
Wachobia Bank and Trust Com
pany, Winston-Salem, N. c., one of
the first speakers, said that the i'm
piled criticism of American bankers
by President Roosevelt in his last
"fireside" talk was totally uncalled
for and unfair" The President in
his speech had praised British bank
ers for cooperating with their gov
eminent for recovery.
Most of the nations leading
bankers were present to hear Mr..
Hanes and other speakers at the
meeting of the state banking divi-
sion of the association. More than
