	About Tom Mooney
		Thomas J. Mooney (1892-1942) was the central figure in the most notorious labor frame-up in the early half of the twentieth century.
		Mooney's actual offense was that he had been de facto leader of the left wing of the California Federation of Labor and his activities had alarmed some of the most powerful forces in the state.
		Mooney was officially pardoned at that time, but Billings would not be formally pardoned until 1961.

		On November 22, the actual trial judge in the Mooney case, Judge Franklin Griffin, who had sentenced Mooney to be hanged, publicly called for a new trial, because of new knowledge of perjured testimony that had been presented to convict the defendant.
		The King County Democratic Club found their own rationale for requesting conditional pardon or retrial: “The hanging of Tom Mooney will tend to provoke social discontent and disorder, and to break down popular faith in the orderly processes of the law,” [23] and sent this message to the governor.
		Mooney himself made a public statement from his cell at San Quentin refusing the commutation; he insisted on his innocence and demanded a new trial.
