Greuter Hate Advocated.. . Another paragraph of the same edi tion of The Blast, Cunha charged, . Mooney and Berkman wrote jointly, as follows: "There is too much of this mushy talk, especially among radicals. Not greater love, but greater hate we need. A strong, red-blooded hatred of every thing that makes for injustice and op pression. Hatred of every factor, so cial and human, that upholds and per petuates the love of slavery and chains. All government is cowardly. It pos sesses only the courage of the bully to oppress the weak. If you realize your strength and have the courage to man ifest it the government bully will slink away." General Revolution Planned. Cunha told the jury that, in addition to proving that Mooney was on the scene of the bomb explosion July 22, 1916, with Warren K. Billings, who has already been sentenced to life im prisonment, he "would prove that Mooney had planned a revolution to. overthrow government in California and to work for the downfall of the Federal Government." Dr. W. S. Stafford, autopsy surgeon for the Coroner, the only witness called today, who examined the bodies of the victims after the explosion, de clared under cross-examination by At torney W. Bourke Cockran, leading Mooney'a defense, that "in his opinion the bomb could not have exploded from the sidewalk, because many of the vic tims received wounds in the head."
