has been emblazoned every day in 1 1 every local paper. The gangs are ; I fighting again. it sounded just like one of the 1 reports back in the Torrio-O’Ban i iou-Capone-Genna-Aiello- Lombardo i days when police recorded official-1 ] ly last night the finding of George' Wilson's body in the heart of [ what once was known as “The Vai- ] ley, ’ a near-west-side section noted as an old-time “training ground" [for gunmen. Wilson, who was 22, formerly was a policeman. He had been arrested frequently since his dismissal from the force in 1923. Three girls found his body in the street. He I had been shot eight times, once in I the head, once in the neck, and ' six times in the body. The regu-[ lar spacing of the wounds marked ! the slaying as an old-time machine! I gun shooting. | Police theorized that Wilson Wq; caught in a war of the gangs for the power which the papeiS indicated Capone might be losing. J The slaying of James L. Quigley was perhaps even moresensational. Quigley was better known than Wilson. He had been accused of several murders. He was known as an enemy ct "Madman" McErlane. Quigley's body was fished from , the river. He bad been shot in the head and body. Detectives figured ! he had been in the waler since just i about the time the “Madman” disappeared. They advanced a theory that McErlane got drunk, killed Quigley, then shot down his wife land her dogs and left their bodies ! in his limousine. The third slaying was that of I Anthony lalongo, 40, a grape mer- | chant who was lured from his home and shot down across the state [line in Indiana, iaglongo was in [ business on the south side the ‘end of town McErlane claimed. Mystery surrounded the slaying of lalongo. Police were not sure it was a gang killing. But they [ pointed out it looked like one. And they knew the gange were fighting I again. Bodies were in the morgues | to prove it. o YOUNG KILLER PLEADS GUILTY CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) I the Michigan city penitentiary, the ! 1 court directed. Alma Long, the 21 year old un- [ wed mother who lived in the Swank I home and to whom Perry gave the most of his robbery loot, testified l that she and Perry had drank a

half pint of liquor but said it was several days before the shooting. Defense attorney Haller sought to take the witness stand so he could testify that Perrv was drunk the night ct Cue slayi..g but the court prevented.

MOONEY MAKES FREEDOM PLEA — (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) innocent man, remain in prison," wrote Mooney. He also urged the discourage- . nient of tourists “by the workers | and all the real friends of labor | and every lover of fair play and decency." Then lie hinted his pres-! I ent discouragement In reference to 'Governor James Rolph, Jr„ of Cali- | tomia, who was mayor of San Fran- | cisco at the time of the preparedness day bombing of which Mooney ! and >Varren K. Billings were con- ' victed. “Governor Roiph lias no more intention of tfreeing me than he has of taking his own life," lie said. “He has been governor for 10 months. Instead of giving me a hearing he has been stalling." Mooney was not alone his own advocate. Rupert Hughes, author; Fremont Older, San Francisco editor; Lincoln Steffens. Liberal writer and editor; Fred Moore, defense counsel for Sacco and Vanzetti; Oscar Ameringer, Oklahoma Ixtbor editor; John D. Berry, San Francisco writer, and Judge Franklin Griffin, who presided at Mooney's trial, all urged his pardon. “The hour for the pardon is at hand.” said Mr. Robert Whittaker of the American Civil Liberties ( Union. Paul Bern, Hollywood film producer, and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., i actor, brought Hughes’ message to I the convention. “Eminent jurists and citizens of i -

the must unquestioned virtue who [abhor such crimes as Mooney was charged with, abhor still further I the method by which they were 'fastened on him and the refusal to undo injustice,” Hughes said. “For 15 years Mooney has been imprisoned while the case against him has become more tragically ridiculous. Criminals have gone i unpunished and walked out of court unscathed while Mooney has stayed. I have no word for the person i really guilty of the slaughter on Preparedness Day, but I can’t believe one whit of respectable evident has been offered to connect Mooney with the horror.” “It is more difficult to free an innocent man than to convict a guilty one," Older declared, "because all officials involved in their conviction think acknowledgement a mistake would reflect on them. Intellectually, I despair. Emotion-1 ally, I hope.” "So long as Mooney and Billings are in prison, we have an example that you cannot get justice under the law,” Steffens said. Mrs. Rena Mooney, wife of the convicted man, made a dramatic appearance. “I heard my husband sentenced to death,” she said. “I am here only because Frank Oxman, the main witness against Tom, was not used against me. It Tom is guilty, I too, am guilty.” Charles M. Flckert. who prosecuted Mooney, had been invited to the meeting but did not appear. Before the meeting thousands | joined in a parade up Market street, passing the corner of Steu- [ art street where In 1916 the par-1

ade was bombed and 10 persons killed. Mooney and Biil'hgs were accused of murder, convicted, and sentenced to death, but on the strength of later evidence uncovered by the de.ense their terms were commuted to life imprisonment. o Long Skirt Causes Auto Crash Albany, Ore.
