The Story of Mooney and Billings


( Two militant trade-unionists, Thomas J. Mooney
  and Warren  K. Billings, are serving the thir-
  teenth year of life sentences in California pris-
  ons. They were convicted on perjured testimony
  of planting the bomb that killed ten and wounded
  forty persons during a Preparedness Day parade
  in San Francisco in 1916.
( The  perjury, disclosed after their conviction,
  could not be reviewed by the courts. But the
  judge and jury who  convicted Mooney have
  declared him  innocent in the light of the
  disclosures. So have the police officials. The
  trial judge is the chief sponsor of his pardon
  application, now before Governor C. C. Young.
  If Mooney is innocent, so is Billings, convicted
  on the same testimony.
( Why   have successive governors refused to
  pardon Mooney  and Billings?
( Why  could they not get relief in the courts?
( Why   all these years in prison without a per-
  sistent agitation for their release?
(Why   is the issue opened up now?
