Aw Trial Revives Mooney’s Hope for Pardon ****A ' * * * Preparedness Day Bombing Prisoner to Have Day in Court After Sixteen Year Fight—Believes Acquittal Will Win Freedom. >JB | Sc? ■ kl - r I ■ IK ■ i € Mas Mary Moonev Judge Loui? HVard £ ' 'WIMrI" Tok MaouEY | : I sam Quemtim Pr :jom , &< w I mil in w r r - - y. . < For the first time since hi* conviction 16 years ago, lom Mooney, America's best known prisoner, sees real hope that he will win the pardon for which he has fought ceaselessly in the ruling of Judge Louis H. Ward, of San Francisco Superior Court, that Mooney is entitled to trial on an indictment unused in the previous trial, when Mooney was sentenced to death on conviction of participation in the 1916 Preparedness Day bombing which cost ten lives. Although acquittal in the new trial would not be sufficient to free him from San Quentin, friends and attorneys of Mooney fought for the day in court on the theory that the State's failure to win a conviction on the unused indictment would strengthen Mooney's fight for a full pardon. Judge Ward's decision was quickly followed by the withdrawal of District Attorney Matthew A. Brady from prosecution of the case after he had told the court that he was out of sympathy with “such a make-believe trial.” Since Mooney's conviction, many attempts have been made to reopen the case, most of them led by his aged mother, Mrs. Mary Mooney. Many of those connected with the prosecut'on have come forward at various times and asserted that there was doubt of the prisoner's guilt. And it has been openly charged that Mooney was *ent to prison on perjured testimony. The last attempt to free the celebrated convict was made by James J. Walker, then Mayor of New York, in 1931, when he made a muchpublicized plea before Governor James A. Rolph of California. Date for the new trial was set by Judge Ward fa; April 26.

■bbsett WORLD’S LARGEST AIRSHIP IN CRASH I FROM PAGFK ONE) ' i anil thick fog, was almost helpless ; ias dawn broke through the cloud i banks and, later, the thick hazel I closed down still further to repel I the searching airplanes. i A dozen naval ships, headed by I ; the new cruiser Portland with : I (’apt.

I Only small pieces of wreckage had j been found by late morning, eoast j guard officials announced, and the' i met' of flic Akron had vanished i save for the lour plucked fruni j the wreckage by the tossing Ger-j ' man tanker.

A strong [swell was running, and the, wreck-' , age was reported drifting rapidly [ toward shore, at a point probably ' south of Atlantic City.

The first coast guard cutter tn j report in was in charge of Eos'u ‘ Mate L. Crammer. They set out ; at. 2:30 a. tn. for Barnegat and I cruised slowly down the coast, but failed Io find any trace of the I Akron. Willi Captain Leary directing I the search, rescue ships redoubled [ their efforts shortly before noon whet; about 30 vessels were off the I scene. „ — On orders from Washington, [ the rescue leaders blocked off a I 3l> square miles area from Barnei gal. Light to sea and south to- [ ward Atlantic City. They arrang- I jed for the fleet, aided by airI planes, to cover every part of th " ' area, in checker-board fashion.
