PARADE BOMB TRIAL
IS EXPECTED TODAY
State's Proposal to Prove
Conspiracy to Be Fought;
Defense . League Aids.
San Francisco, Sept 14. (P. N. 8.)
The first big clash between counsel
in the trial of Warren K. Billings,
first of the preparedness parade bomb
defendants to face a Jury, is expected
today over the attempt of the prose
cution to prove that Billings, with
Thomas J. Mooney and others, entered
into a conspiracy as far back as 1916
to "terrorise people not holding their
particular view of social conditions."
District Attorney C M. Flckert per
sonally directing the state's legal
forces, has announced that the -prosecution
would attempt today to Intro
duce the first evidence, building up
the alleged conspiracy.
It is this alleged conspiracy, the
prosecution maintains, that culminated
in the preparedness parade bomb out
rage which claimed 10 lives and in
jured nearly half a hundred bystand
ers. Money Comes la for Defense.
It is understood that the defense
will make vigorous objection to the in
troduction of evidence tending to es
tablish a conspiracy with its Inception
three years ago. The defense will be
equally opposed, it is said, to connect
ing previous crimes of Billings with
the charge on which ho is being tried.
Dividing interest in the impending
clash of counsel today waa the an
nouncement of Robert Minor, treasurer
of the International Workers Defense
League, that several hundred dollars
are being contributed daily for the de
fense of the accused.
The prosecution win today begin its
presentation of evidence to prove that

1916.

Two Sacramento detectives, Henry
Balss and William Kramer, have been
brought her as witnesses to lay the
foundation for this. They arrested
Billings in Sacramento with a suitcase
full of dynamite in 1913, and for this
h waa sentenced to Folsom for two
years.
Other witnesses to be called In this
line of testimony ax employee of the
Ford plant here, to whom Billings is
said to have boasted that he had re
ceived $200 to "do a dynamite Job" In
New York.

from El Paso during the night to
face two indictments charging murder
of bis wife and Major M. C. Butler,

my wife," he said. "I didn't know
what I was doing. I hope my little

means."

he was asked.
"Dont ask me, that!" Spannell re
plied, and would say no more.
