Famous Lifer Due To Be Pardoned Today
Continued from Page 1)

Donald, a waiter, who said he saw Billings and Mooney meet at the corner, and Billings put the suitcase in the street. He later repudiated part of his testimony. The supreme court decided, however, that his orig inal story was mostly true.
 Jurors who convicted Mooney on February 24, 1917, also have recom- mended a pardon, but despite the worldwide agitation that made his labor cause celebre, Mooney has remained California's prisoner.
 Wouldn't Object"
 Edward A. Cunna, assistant diSSrict attorney who helped prosecute him, said he still felt Mooney was guilty as he'll" but as an individual, he wouldn't object to the pardon"
 Police Captain Charles Golf, who made the original investigation and now heads the San Francisco police traffic department, said the respon- sibility for pardon rests with the governor"
 Mooney,s fight has been compared to that of the Frenchman Alfred Dreyfus, political martyr, and Ere mont Older, once a famous San Francisco newspaper man, was called the "Zola" of the case. He worked assidously for Moneys release and his writings inspired the early fight of liberals in Moneys behalf.
 Mooney retains his membership in the moulders' union of the American Federation of Labor, but the AFL and the Congress for Industrial Or ganizations forgot their differences in celebrating his release. They planned a tremendous celebration starting immediately after Olson's inaugural barbecue this afternoon, which Mooney will attend after his return from Folsom.

Continued from Page D which preferred the charges of con- spiracy against the g defendants now facing trial.
 Completion of the regular jury panel yesterday at noon was the signal for the issuance of the sub- poenas, which are but forerunner of the hundreds which are expected to be served during the trial. A number of subpoenas have already been served on New York and other out-of-state witnesses by Special Prosecutor Alcorn.
 Jan. IF Date Set
 Apparently in belief that the two alternate jurors will be accepted during the coming week, counsel for the state and defense have set January IT as the date for the ap- pearance of the witnesses sub- poenaed. It is apparent that they believe January IT will be the start ing date for the presentation of ev- idence in the trial. ,
 Among others for whom sub pcenas have been issued by the starte are: City Clerk John P. Fitz- maurice and Miss Betty McGivney, former private secretary to former Controller Daniel J. Leary. Both were witnesses before the extra ordinary grand jury.
 The remainder of the subpoenas are for other city hall officials and employees who were witnesses before the grand jury.
 Subpoenas No Surprise
 Issuance of subpoenas by the state for Controller Rowland and MT. Purcell is no surprise in view of the fact they were among the in- itial witnesses who testified before the grand jury.
 Together with Warren M. Brown of the special prosecutors account ing staff and William J. Armstrong, former personal accountant to Row land, they are expected to be im- portant witnesses for the state dur ing the earliest days of the trial.
 Aside from the five officials of the newspaper, no other subpoenas were issued by the defense, but others are anticipated early next week.
 The state is expected to call as witnesses several bankers, brokers, lawyers, janitors, secretaries, ac- countants and officials-from the 150 men and women who testified before the grand jury. X

expected to involve many residents of that state.
 Private Questioning
 Mayor Spellacy and others sum- moned with him will be questioned privately, the district attorney said, and it has not been decided whether all of the witnesses named will ap pear before the grand jury. They will, however, be subject to call by the jury.
 The investigation now is extending to relations of Coster-Musica with various Connecticut politicians when the eX-convict Musica was operating Girard & Co.,, the hair tonic firm, at Bridgeport. Evidence of bootlegging on a huge scale has been presented before the officers conducting the in- vestigation.
 The inquiry of the federal grand jury is being spread over accounting methods, blackmail by persons who knew "Coster" was Musica, the events leading up to the Hartford receivership
 Aware of Identity?
 Particularly, the grand jury is in- terested in the Connecticut angle which is expected to develop that some political associates of "Coster" were aware of his true identity and were involved in various illegal oper- ations with the former president of McKesson & Robbins long before he had "parlayed" a small stake from a hair tonic company to a merger which saw him become the head of an $86,000,000 company.
 Several Connecticut officers of McKesson & Robbins have testified at the attorney generals investiga- tion of the company'S affairs. Among them have been three directors Clinton Rarnum Seeley and Horace Merwin, Bridgeport bankers, and Rowley w. Phillips, of Waterbury.
 Suspicious Four Years Ago
 They have been confronted with testimony of Waddil Catchings, utility executive, who made a report on affairs of McKesson & Robbins four years ago in which Catchings alleged that he pointed suspicion at Coster- -Musica. The ,rectors have denied that this was he case, saying that Catchings' report was 8 gem eral nature and did not contain charges such as he claimed. The attorney general is studying the Catchings report before deciding on whether he will recommend ques- tioning of the IS McKesson directors by the federal agencies and the SEC about the matter.
 Another witness who is expected to be called by at least one of the several agencies Investigating the Coster . Musica McKesson Ss Rob- bins embroglio, is Attorney George
