KAN FRANCISCO, July 30. (P) J ohn Mac Donald . ma ny ver- Hiuned witness in Sun Francisco's preparedness day bombing case, was taken In Tiand today by Kdwin MeKenzie, an attorney, and admit ted under cross-examination that his identification of Thomas J. Mooney and Warren K. Billings us the bombers did not jibe with the facts. MacDonald, who was being ex- ined by members of tho California supreme court, sitting informally, broke down and wept again as he did yesterday several times when nervous tension grew too taut. Most of yesterday's questioning was conducted by Justice John W. Preston. McKenzie, before launching Into his examination, told tlte court Kdward R. Nockels, secretary of tho Chicago Federation of Labor, was at hand to testify if wanted and could testify about tho financ ing of Mac Donald's trip west in 1921 when he first figured as a recanting witness in the case. Mac Donald came from Baltimore this time where he was a waiter. Never Saw Homblng MacUonald had given five ver sions of testimony and climaxed them all today by saying ho was j within 100 foet of tho bombing on I July U'2, 1 1)1 ti and never saw or heard It. Yet he had described j with considerable detail to the j grand jury and to police that year j the two men he said ho saw at the . place where the explosion occur red. Hut as the witness has ad mitted under oath that he lied several times about It his latest assertion brought no gasps in tho j crowded court room. MacDonald j admitted today that tho man he described to Police Sergeant Chan. Cioff, now a captain, as Billings could not possibly have been Bil- lings and that Mooney could not have been at the scene as MacDon-) aid said in Ifllfl he was. I Jtcasons Shown j The reason for this admission was that MacDonald's description! of the man he said he saw put a suitcase down at the corner of Stewart and Market streets, scene of the explosion, was larger than Billings and because Mooney was proved by means of a photograph to ha vo been 6 n oo feet from t he explosion five minutes before it occurred and could not possibly have reached Ktowari and Market streets in that time. This testimony was elicited in connection with two police reports j made in 1 !) 1 ti which contained f Mac Donald's statements regarding : what ho was supposed to have seen and heard at the time and place of the explosion. McKenzie described these reports, Introduced late yes terday by Justice I'restdn, as "the strongest evidence yet produced to discredit Mac Donald's testimony against Mooney and Billings." It was McKenzle's contention that the authorities knew at the tinle MacDonald's Identific a t I o n of Mooney and Billings was false. TIRED BUI SAFE FUG EN K, Ore.. July 30.
