THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

WALKER TRIP AWAKENS HOPE IN FAR WEST Leaders of California’s Liberals Watch Mooney Case Closely. By Scripps-Howard newspaper Alliance SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 21.—Will New York’s dapper, wise-cracking mayor succeed in convincing his effulgent old friend, Governor James Rolph of California, that Tom Mooney and Warren K. Billings should be released from prison? This question was uppermost in the minds of California liberal leaders today as they hailed with enthusiasm, somewhat tinged with skepticism, the news that the two “playboys of politics” were to confer soon on the Mooney-Billings case. Walker is coming to California to see Rolph in behalf of the two men, now serving their fifteenth year in prison for the San Francisco Preparedness day parade dynamiting in 1916. Attorneys Will Attend His visit will follow a conference on the case arranged by Frank J. Walsh, Mooney's New York attorney, and Aaron Sapiro, liberal leader and nationally khown attorney, who have been campaigning for the release of the two prisoners. The conference will be attended by Rolph, Walsh, Sapiro and several of Rolph’s legal and political advisers. The Walker-Rolph meeting will mark anew high light in the campaign to free Mooney and Billings, which reopened last summer when the sole remaining witness in the original trials whose testimony had not heretofore been proved perjured, was found by the ScrippsHoward newspapers and returned to San Francisco, where he was revealed a pathological liar and his testimony thoroughly discredited. Trip Spurs Action Local leaders in the long fight to win freedom for Mooney and Billings pointed significantly to Walker’s action which will take him across the nation, sacrificing official affairs, to make a personal appeal to Governor Rolph. Austin Lewis, San Francisco attorney and liberal, and manager of the northern California branch, American Civil Liberties Union, declared: “The implications involved in the injustices are just beginning to manifest themselves, and I believe this is only the start of a movement that will advertise California adversely, and do the people of the state great harm, unless justice is done.” THEFTS LOOT S3OO North Side Homes and Car Are Ransacked. Looting north side homes and an automobile, thieves Friday night stole clothing and jewelry valued at S3OO.

Theft of a watchfi valued at $35, was reported to police by Mrs. Ellen Wright, 2023 North Talbot street.

A north side youthful purse snatcher operated again Friday night, fleeing with a purse, $2 and valuable papers he grabbed from Mrs. Alice Clemer, 1428 North New Jersey street, police were told. The theft occurred at Eleventh and Alabama streets.

By Times Special RICHMOND, Ind., Nov. 21.—A man who started a series of thefts by taking an automobile belonging to Thomas Hendricks, Newcastle, stole at least three more cars before the day closed, including one belonging to the Newcastle police department. Thomas Lockhart, Newcastle officer, answered a call that a man was stealing the Hendricks car. He arrived just as the car was being driven away but overtook it west of Newcastle and forced it into a ditch. He placed the captive in the police car, after first relieving the man of his pistol, but the thief produced another gun, put the policeman out of the car and drove away. Coming to Richmond he traded the light roadster belonging to Ralph Dionisi and then a short time later traded B£> .n in favor of a more powerful coupe. Owned by Charles Oler, and escaped.
