From chiidho ti's early days', and out of the fur recesses of memory, comes the picture of a little improvised school room at the. head of a lony flight of stairs. This school room was fitted up with desks and benches fashioned from jroods boxes and various odds and ends- the handiwork of the teacher. These furnishings served the purpose, for what, was lacking in modern equipment, the teach< r made up for it with patience ami perseverance in trying to instill the rudiments of learning into I the filing of her pupils. A few of the pupils of thie little school were .possessed of ordinary in-1 telJigence, but -most of them were i I considered too dumb or?too ineorrigi-1 J bit* to attend the public schools. The j instant the t cue her left the room one1 of these incorrigible? was sure to stand on his head, on or.e of the ahaj ky little desks. Then followed u ' Uplintenng eiash!

May 'M. Tom Moiuuty today found not guilty of murdering Arthur Ncfeon, cms of 10 .persons kiHed in a bomb explosion during a Preparedness day parade here 17 years ago. The verdict created the strangest of all contradictions in a case that had been filled -with them. Mooney already is serving a life term for the murder of George C. lAwlor, lumberman, whose head was blown off in the explosion. Mooney now stands convicted by one jury of having placed the infernal machine, and heki guiltless by another jury. Neither verdict affects the other. Mooney tonight was back in his Ban Quentin penitentiary cell, putting in another night of a lifetime behinA the bars. Mooney did not feel today ft verdict I was meaningless. "1 shall apply at once to Governor Rolph for a pardon," he said. "Because of the weight of public opinion that will result from this verdict, I think 1 must be successful. "If the evidence' was unworthy to be presented to a jury on this indictment, it certainly is insufficient to keep me in prison for life on an nl- <1 most identical charge. "Failing that, 1 shall go to the I'l'.iUil .Stati*" supremo court under the 14th amendment, which prohibits (i. ; i vir.'j a pti san of his liberty. Former S. G.
