billings is taken
TO THE PENITENTIARY
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26.—Des
pite his vehement protest that "this
is a frame-up to get me away before
the government’s investigation of the
bomb murder cases,” Warren K. Bil
lings was started to Folsom prison
today to begin a life sentence for mur
der growing out .of a bomb explosion
here in July, 1916, which claimed
ten lives.
His final effort to escape sentence
failed recently when the state su
preme court refused to grant him a
hearing on the district court of ap
peal decision refusing fylm a new trial.
While Billings was en route to the
penitentiary, the president’s media
tion commission, beaded by Secre
tary of Labor Wiliam B. Wilson, was
here preparing the way to a full in
vestigation of the Thomas J. Moon
ey bomb, murder case at the direction
of President Wilson.
Mooney is under sentence of death
for murder growing out of the explo
sion. His appeal is now pending in the
state supreme coujri. 1
Mooney and Billings were convict
ed on identical indictments.
