...Mooney-Billings story into a Sacco-Vanzetti Case of the West?a feature for the nation-wide Scripps-Howard chain. Observers outside of California also knew that leading papers not in the Scripps-Howard chain had been playing up California's "holy show" all over the land and would doubtless have done so regardless of how the San Francisco press treated the story...
