...shots in the back-Italy's idea of a supremely disgraceful Death. Throughout Jugoslavia, where Il Duce is detested as the National Enemy, furious indignation was roused by news that the Facist garrison commander at Trieste had refused to transmit to King Vittorio Emanuele a plea for pardon signed by the Jugoslav youths. If His Majesty had pardoned them, Italian fury would probably have swept him from his Throne-for even Italians who hate Mussolini hate Jugoslavs ten times more...

...shoulder. He shouted: "Get two governors for the price of one. . . . I'll be right there with Mamma to pick up the chips and bring in the water when you elect her." He promised to "go easy" on bootleggers, repeated his wife's pledge to pardon 2,000 convicts in the State Penitentiary. He warned "Pinhead" Moody to "go back to smoking cigarets and crocheting." Crowds yelled "POUR it on, Jim" when he would declare: 'There're two candidates in this race. One is a woman with brains and no money. The other...

In 1916 he told trial juries that he had seen Billings and Mooney with a suitcase, presumably containing the bomb, at the street corner where occurred the explosion that killed ten persons. Last week before the Supreme Justices he swore that he had seen neither of them there, that, in fact, he was not sure if he had really witnessed the bombing...

Because Mooney is a first offender, California's Governor Clement Calhoun Young is empowered to pardon him without the Supreme Court's recommendation, on his own initiative. But because the facts in the two cases are so intertwined, Governor Young was being guided largely by the Supreme Court's hearing in the Billings case. Last week he summoned MacDonald to Sacramento to hear him repeat his recantation...
