MOONEY DENIED
PARDON BY ROLPH
(Continued from page 1)
spirit of absolute fairness and with
out any bias or prejudice of any
kind against Thomas J, Mooney."
He stated Judge Matt I. Sullivan,
his legal adviser made a thorough
study ot all evidence available in
the case and rendered a - report
setting forth basic facts, "material
to the application, disclosed by our
investigation." ,
The governor recalled that Moon
eys esse had been presented to the
state supreme court on lour oc
casions and once to the United
States supreme court.
He also recalled that three gov
ernors preceding him, Governor
William D. Stephen, Governor
Friend W. Richardson and Gover
nor C. C. Young denied Mooney's
application lor a pardon.
"For the reasons Indicated." the
governor stated, "the application of
Thomas J. Mooney tor a pardon Is
nereoy denied," .
This flat denial of clemency
means that Thomas J. Mooney shall
continue to serve out his life sen
tence in San Quentin prison until
and unless he Is pardoned or com
muted by some futuu governor.
Mooney was convicted of setting
the bomb that killed 10 persons and
Injured 40 others during the 1918
Preparedness Day parade In San
Francisco.
In the executive's inner reception
room, newspaper men gathered to
hear the decision. Polished desks
and other regular furniture were
pushed aside so that telegraph in
struments could be placed in readi
ness to flash the news.
Meanwhile, within the gray walls
of San Quentin prison, Thomas J.
Mooney, former labor leader and
convicted dynamiter, went about his
usual duties those of the prison
"vegetable man." During recent
months be has been assigned to the
task of supervising preparations of
this portion of the guards' menu.
Nearer at hand, in Folsom prison,
another man, to whom the decision
may mean much, waited. He Is War
ren K. Billings, who like Mooney Is
serving a life sentence. Both were
convicted in the 1916 San Francisco
Preparedness day parade bombing
which claimed ten lives and Injured
40 persons.
Billings said he considered his
case and that of Mooney parallel.
"Granting that," he added, "I na
turally will be affected by Governor
Rolph's decision in the Mooney
case."
Mooney's long struggle tor free
dom, on the ground he was convict
ed upon perjured evidence, has gain
ed the attention of men of promi
nence In all parts of tlie world. The
present consideration of his cane Is
a result of a hearine In Ban Fran
cisco last December at which pleas
were made by Major James J. Wal
