CHARLES SORIBNER'S SONS, NEW YORK
but when he is arraigned next Tues
day it is virtually certain proceed
ings against him for this charge will
be dismissed, as the state admits it
has not evidence connecting John J.
McNamara directly with this parti
cular disaster.
John J. McNamara, however,
pleaded guilty to the charge of hav
ing caused the explosion of the Lle
wellyn Ironworks, in which no fatali
ties occurred.
District Attorney John D.' Fred
ericks will recommend life imprison
ment for James B. and fourteen
years for John J., but Judge- Walter
Bordwoll alone can fix the sentence.
Ortio E. McManigal, who con
fessed to having actually blown up
the Llewellyn ironworks here in De
cember, 19i0, at the direction of
John J. McNamara, will be brought
to trial, but it is expected the state
will recommend a light sentence be
cause he turned state's evidence.
Bribery charges against Bert H.
Franklin, a detective employed by
the McNamara defense probably will
be dropped now as irrelevant to the
main issue.
An Associated Press report says:
James B. McNamara pleaded guilty
to murder in the first degree in
Judge Bordwell'B court today. His
brother, John J. McNamara, secre
tary of the international association
of bridge and structural iron work
ers, entered a plea of guilty to hav
ing wrecked with dynamite the
Llewellyn ironworks in Los Angeles
on Christmas day, 1910.
James B. McNamara's confession
clears up absolutely the tragedy of
the explosion and fire which at 1:07
o'clock on the morning of October 1,
1910, wrecked tho plant of the Los
Angeles Times at First and Broad
way and caused the deaths of twen
ty-one persons. For nineteen of
threse deaths tho McNamara brothers
were Indicted and J. B. McNamara
was on trial specifically for the mur
der of Charles J. Haggerty, a ma
chinist, whose body was found
nearer than that of any other to
tho spot where the dynamite was
supposed to have been placed.
Both men's sentences were set for
December 5, when it is expected Dis
trict Attorney John D. Fredericks
will ask for life imprisonment for
James B. McNamara, the confessed
murderer and probably fourteen
years for his brother. The men's
lives are considered saved.
The great contention that tho Los
Angeles Times was not wrecked by
dynamite is dead beyond resurrec
tion or argument.
Tonight as the two brothers sat
together in tho county jail refusing
to see any one or make any state
ment, an Interest second only to
the occurrence itself hung about the
question with reference to James B.
McNamara, "Why did he confess?"
To this opposing counsel gave tho
same answer. "He confessed because
ho was guilty and that's all there Is
to it," declared District Attorney
, Fredericks.
"He was counselled to confess be
cause that was the best thing he
could do, In tho opinion of counsel,"
said Attorney Clarence S. Darrow,
chief of counsel. "I will say now
that there was no other reason or
motive in it. I've studied this case
for months. It presented a stono
wall."
Darrow's statement was made on
looking squarely in the face of the
charges that the recent arrest of
Bert H. Franklin, an investigator,
employed by tho defense, and two
others with him, might have preci
pitated a situation untenable save
by confession of the prisoner.
"Negotiations have been on for
several weeks," asserted Darrow,
and this was corroborated by Dis
trict Attorney Fredericks. "Wo ex
pected at one time that Jim would
confess last Monday, but he did
not," said Darrow.
An Associated Press report from
New York says: "I am astounded;
I am astounded; my credulity has
been imposed upon. . It is a bolt out
of a clear sky."
These exclamations wore those of
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American federation of labor, when
advised tonight of the pleas of
guilty in the McNamara cases.
Mr. Gompers, on his way from
Washington, was dozing in a Pull
man car in the Pennsylvania's con
gressional limited when he was
awakened at a New Jersey station
by an Associated Press representa
tive. He retired to the rear of the
car, whore there was a convenient
light and read carefully the accounts
of the sensational developments in
tho Los Angeles case.
The veteran labor leader was
visibly affected as he read how the
men in whose "defense he had spoken
and worked so untiringly had ad
mitted their guilt. Tears came into
