0N.SJ.-Tom Mooney, Califor'
MAS famed prisoner who claims
he was "railroaded" to San Quen-
tin penitentiary 20 years ago on

no comment today as the State
Supreme Court considered his
petition for freedom.
1t was Moneys first appear
ance before the supreme court in
the State building here.
Mooney, in seeking release on
q writ of habeas corpus, has based
his petition on the ground that
the prosecuting attorney knew
certain State witnesses were lying
at his 1917 trial. Mooney was sent
to San quentin for the 1915 Pre-
paredness Day parade bombing.
AS the prisoners counsel, George
T. Davis, launched the opening
oral plea before the seven black
robed justices Mooney whispered
to his lawyer.
Throughout the long hearing
before Supreme Court Referee
A. e. Shaw, the gray-haired pris
oner, who has studied law while
in prison, often counseled his
attorneys.
Taking of actual testimony be
fore Referee Shaw occupied more
than . year. Volumes Of evi'

BANK
DEALS CITED
AT TRIAL

ALEXANDRIA, Va, March %.
A month before he declared him
self bankrupt, Mayor E. C. Da-
vison and his wife had $4,542 in
two joint accounts in the Citi-
zens National Bank. Six months
later, after his creditors had been
paid in full, $4,779 was with
drawn from the joint accounts
of his wife and daughter, to
whom the original sum has been
transferred.
This testimony, supported by
bank records. was introduced by
Cashier Chester G. Pierce Of the
Citizens Bank today in the trial
Of Mayor Dawson on charges OF
perjury and concealment of as
sets in connection with the filing
of his petition in bankruptcy.
Mr.. Pierce did not say who with
drew the funds after the creditors
had been paid, nor what disposi-
ton was made of the money.
Bank records identified in court
showed that the original sum was
carried in joint checking and saw
ings accounts of the mayor and
his wife, Mrs. Laura l.. Dawson.
There was $3,756 in the savings
account and $786 in the checking
account.
These sums, Mr.. Pierce testified,
were transferred on October %,
1885, to a joint account of Mrs.
Dawson and Mrs. Laura Heflin,
Mayor Davison's daughter. His
petition in voluntary bankruptcy
was filed on November l8, 1885.
1t was brought out yesterday
that the mayors creditors we're
paid in full on April 8, 1898, out of
$4,000 turned over by the mayor to
Joseph M. Pancoast, trustee in
bankruptcy.
On April 9, 1885, Mr.. Pierce said,
sum slightly larger than that
transferred to his wife and daugh-
ter in October. was withdrawn
from their joint account.
It is on this evidence of the
transfer of funds, and their al
legged concealment in the accounts
of other members of the mayors
family while creditors claims were
being adjusted, that the prosecu-
tion is largely relying in its effort
to convict him.
