PHOTOGRAPH AS MOONEY ALIBI California Judge Says Photograph Os Prisoner Genuine San Francisco, Oct. 2 —(UP) —A photographic alibi, center of almost aa much controversy tu< the question of guilt or Innocence of Tom | Mooney, was presented in a newlight today in an attempt to stregthen Mooney’s latest bid for freedom. Challenged by state authorities for IS years, the fades! pjtotographe of a scene of the 1916 preparedneos parade in San Francisco assumed greater significance through tIV -testinvony of judge Maxwell McNutt of the superior courts of San Mateo county. He pres ented atthe hearing of Mooney's hab an corpus application what he said were the original contact prints of the photographs taken by Wade Hamilton. Tile photographs (purportedly show Mooney and his wife. Rena, on cn the roof of a building one mile from Steuart and Market ntreetn at approximately the time a bomb explosion killed 10 persons ihere. State authorities charged that the time shown on a clock in the views was “doctored. McNutt said that there “is no question of the time shown in the pictured.” “Theodore Kyika, handwriting expert. verified the time under the cicroscope and also in enlargements taken from the three pictures,’’ the jurist testified. He said toe original contract prints showed the face of the clock clearly. The state, he maintained, had only proofs which had been blurred in development. The judge also asserted that the films "were never in the hands of the defendant or the defendant’s representatives." crais Mrs. Mae Andrews of Fort Wayne formerly of Decatur, is a patient at the Methodist Episcopal hospital in Fort Wayne, recovering from an operation for the removal of the gall bladder which she underwent two v.e.-ks ago.

FIND SALESMAN ROBBER VICTIM Frankfort Bakery Salesman Is Murdered, Apparently By Robber Delphi, Ind., Oct. 2.—<U.|»-The: body of Luther Wells, 38, Frank-1 fort bakery salesman, apparently the victim of a robbery slaying, was found today in high wetlds behind an abandoned paper mill i here.

Ocie Wells, Frankfort, brother: of the slain man, found the bodyafter an all night search.

Asked whether there is now any other treatment for a cancer similar to the one Ratliff was alleged to have had. he answered “prayer." Five years ago he testified certain other rays were considered good. He also admitted that he had delivered a lecture before the Allen county medical society on the necessity of extreme care in the use of X-ray machines for therapeutic purpose. He also | testified that the address was given after Ratliff had been exhibited before the body. He denied that lie had pronounced Ratliff's condition at the time as being caused by third degree X-ray burns, testifying that a correct opinion could not be given in such a short examination. Dr. B. L. Good of Van Wert testified today for the defense. He told the jury that he had been' curing cancer for 15 years by X-. ray. explaining that if no indications of X-ray appeared after five years the case was considered cured. Asked if he considered a hypothetical case similar to that of Ratliff's had been given too much X-ray he replied that if the patient really had cancer more X-ray would have cured it. The plaintiff alleges that he had been given too much X-ray Dr. Good also testified that cancer could have developed from the chronic irritation caused by the advanced stages of eczema. Dr. Alfred S. Kiardano, pathologist of South Bend also testified this morning. He stated that I he was a graduate of several colleges post graduate courses and now conducts a laboratory in, South Bend. He admitted that he had never practiced general medi-. cine and that he devotes all of his time to diagnosing cases brought by other physicians. He testified that he belonged to a large number of medical, scientific and other societies. He also was a classmate of Dr. Harold Caylor at Mayo Brothers’ clinic. Dr. Kiardano testified that he considered the treatment given a hypothetical case similar to Ratliff’s, safe.
