Mooney case biased by San Francisco interests say lab official
A Densmore report to the House claims labor leaders allege Thomas J. Mooney was unjustly convicted in the 1916 San Francisco bomb case. The inquiry, conducted with immigration inspectors and dictaphone records, argues prosecutorial manipulation and ties to corporate backers opposed to unions. Fickert’s office is cited as opposing a new trial after key witness Oxman was shown to be a perjurer. The findings challenge the integrity of the trial and suggest open shop interests influenced the prosecution.
