Tho Wickersham commission to day denounced as "shocking to one's sense of Justice" the laws under which the famous Mooney BiNIngs case was conducted. Embedded deep In a formal re port to President Hoover on meth ods of criminal procedure, the commission cited tho case arising from the 1016 preparedness day bomliinp in San Francisco as one in which motions fur a new trial 'were held inadequate to prevent injustice." It made no jllrect recommenda tion, however, that the rise be reopened. In the body of its report, signed by 10 of tho 11 members, the commission concluded that blame should be laid at the door of "in competent, weak or politics-ridden judgeH" for much of the gener&l complaint against this country s criminal procedure. Politics Dlained. It presented a plea that the public insists upon the complete divorce of the administration of juftlce from politics anil that the selection of judges and magis trates be made upon the ground of conspicuous fitness alone. Monte I.emann. New Orleans lawyer, who declined to sign the commission's prohibition report, likewise refused to sign this document. In Its comparatively brief dis cussion of the murder sentences given Thomas J. Moonoy and War ren K. Killings, for the San 1'iaii- clsco bombing, the commission cited the refusal of the California supreme court to grant a' new trial, despite the discovery of n.J "evidence charging perjury on ine part of n material witness for the state." Refusal Cited. It cited also the refusal of the trial court of a further applica tion based upon "the ground that the prosecuting attorney had been guilty of fraud in withhoWUhg from the trial court information impeaching the testimony of cer tain witnesses." Condemning this "stale of law. the commission urged universal idoption of the proposed code ol the American law institute. I his would provide for the granting of a new trial with the discovery of Idenco which might have altered the original verdict, or upon proof that the prosecuting attorney had been guilty of misconduct. rho commission appended n recommendations to the body of its report. Among them were suggestions for a wider use administration rather than ar rest": a more general use of "sum mons Instead of arrests" in petty prosecutions; waivers of Jury trial In criminal cases; examinations of jurors by the court, rather than the counsel; and increase in the common-law powers of trim judges.
