Pardons for Mooney and Billings After Decades of Struggle
The two men received full pardons after a long campaign for release. In 1916 Woodrow Wilson commuted Mooney’s death sentence to life at the urging of the Czar amid unrest in Russia. Mooney faced first degree murder charges and a death sentence. Billings was sentenced to life for second degree murder. Over the years a key witness recanted, another admitted perjury then denied it, and a third was discredited in trials of other acquitted defendants.
