    Tom Mooney
    was an American political activist and
    labor leader
    , who was convicted with
    Warren K. Billings
    of the
    San Francisco
    Preparedness Day Bombing
    of 1916.

    quickly became apparent that Mooney and Billings had been convicted based on falsified evidence and perjured testimony and the Mooney case and campaigns to free him became an international cause for two decades. Mooney served 22 years in prison before finally being pardoned in 1939.
