...Mooney have bothered governors of California since 1916, when the two were jailed for a Preparedness Day bombing which they have continued to insist they did not commit. Last July several States' witnesses renounced the testimony which had convicted Mooney & Billings, reopening the case (TIME, July 14 et seq.). The State Supreme Court, which has sole jurisdiction over Billings because he is a second-offender, sat not as a court but as an advisory pardon board. They heard the entire bombing rehashed. The Governor said he would do for Mooney what the Court did for Billings. Last week...
...provides that the House shall be altered to fit the population every ten years. Rural members of Congress, eyeing jealously the people's concentration in big cities, blocked the 1920 reapportionment and only authorized the 1930 change after a bitter struggle last year (TIME, Dec. 31, 1928 et seq.). It was voted to change the number of people whom one Congressman shall represent, not the number of Representatives (435) in Congress. The 1930 census revealed that this change must be from 211,000 persons per Congressman to 280,000. Unless the reapportionment struggle is reopened in the December-March...

Mrs. Bob's share of the proceeds, according to lawyers, cannot be attached by Mr. Bob's creditors. Most interesting item in the sale: a volume containing steel engravings and autographs of every U. S. President. Price...
...York Telegram, bought the four papers last year for $870,000 loaned them by I. P. & P. In return they gave the paper company their joint note, secured by the stock of the newspapers. But the certificates were not turned over (TIME, May 20, 1929 et seq.). Soon after the disclosure of I. P. & P.'s venture, Partners Hall and La Varre quarreled, and Partner Hall sought an injunction to restrain Partner La Varre from obtaining operating control. To protect himself, Hall had to go to the court of appeals for a decision declaring him an equal partner with...
