the National Training School for
Boys for a long term for "joyrid.
ing" the Department of Justice
started an investigation Of the
case today.
The parents of the boys were
asked to go to the Justice Build

the woman judge did not give the
boys a fair trial but was arbitrary
in her verdict.
Other highlights of the sensa'
tional case were:
/. Attorney Ralph Cusick
filed a motion to set aside the
judgment, setting forth IL al.
legged trial errors which, he
charged, violated the ooys' con.
stitutional rights.
2. Judge Bentley denied that
she sentenced the boys until
they were 81 years old, but The
Times discovered that these
words had been typewriter in
the commitment papers directly
above her name.

Bentley left, stating she would

ACCOUNTS ACCUSE HAUPTMANN
Mooney Plea
Rejected By
Hgh Court
International News Service

The Supreme Court today re-
jected the freedom plea Of
Thomas j. Mooney, California's
noted labor prisoner.
Passing on petition for leave to
file a petition for writ of habeas
corpus the high tribunal said
that application must first be
made to the California Supreme
Court.
The courts action was both 8
victory and a defeat for Mooney.
Although he has appealed to The
California Supreme Court and to
lower Federal courts, the courts
action today gave him another
legal avenue to- try to obtain his
freedom. The high courts denial
was without prejudice.
Never Ceased Fight
Convicted for completely in the
San Francisco preparedness pa
rade bombing in 1916, Mooney
has never ceased his fight to es-
tablish his innocence.
His attorneys, Frank P. Walsh,
John F. Finerty and George T.
Davis, filed the petition for leave
to seek writ of habeas corpus
on the ground that he was denied
his constitutional rights because
the Supreme Court of California
declined to consider his conten.
tlon that he was convicted on
perjured testimony.
1 New Trial Denied
The California court had held
that it had no-rieht to order==a
new trial.
The State Of California, through
Attorney General U. s. Webb, re-
piled for Warden Holohan that
the supreme court acted under
the constitution of California and
was on solid grounds.
Chief Justice Hughes announced
the order of the court. He recited
the claims of Mooney and the an
swer of Warden Holohan through
the attorney general of the State.
View Not Accepted
The reply of the attorney gen.
eral, the Chief Justice said, did
not deal with merits, but was
based on wholly legalistic grounds.
The court, he said, could not &C.
cept the narrow Interpretation Of
the attorney general as stating the
rights Of citizens under the due
process clause of the Federal Con.
Stitution.
The Chief Justice said, however,
the State supreme court of Cali
fornia did have power to redress
wrongs by use of the writ OF
habeaS corpuS.

He explained the Presidents

added:
"This economic security bill

"ThiS bill, mOrever, does not

launched in any country is a
companion measure to this bill.
"The committee on economic
security placed first in its
report the recommendation that

provision of work for people
who are unemployed and able

uneasy today after the largest
luncheon ever held in the White

She entertained more than $50
members of the Chautauqua

COLD RULING
International News Service


The Supreme Court today re-
ceSsed until February 4 without
handing down a decision in the
notable gold cases.
A crowd which jammed the tiny
courtroom and corridors outside
was disappointed.
No significance was attached by
experienced court observers to the
courts failure to rule on the gold
cases today. To have decided cases
of such Notwithstanding some
100000 million dollars-nine days
after argument would have been
unprecedented.
The failure of the court to rule
effectively disposed of many wild
rumors, among which was one
that the court had agreed upon a
decision on Saturday.
Since the court usually pre-.
pares its decisions during recess,
it is probable that the decision
may be handed down February 4.
