Mooney Pardon Popular With People
(Received 9 a.m.)
SAN FRANCISCO, January 9,
Cheering thousands lined the streets as Tom Mooney, pardoned of complicity in the 1916 bomb outrage after serving 22 years ih prison, and still wearing his prison-made suit, visited the scene of the bombing, accompanied by Mr Harry Bridges.
Mr Mooney later headed a parade bearing banners and demanding the release of Warren K. Billing, sentenced to life imprisonment in connection with the same crime, in which ten people were killed.
