Los Angeles , April 27. The ques-

ed to him on the train.
According to Bruin , McManlgal

Chicago , by asking what punishment
would bo given him if ho were to turn
state's evidence.
'I am not In a posltiou to tell you. "
was Brain's reply. .
"Are you going tri do it ? "
'Yes , " answered McMauigal , 'I'm
going to tell. "
/'What are you going to tell ? " asked -
ed Brain.
. "Ail about It , " said MoManigal.
'Yon know what you are charged
with ? " continued Brain.
"Yea , I am charged with dynamit
ing the plant ot the Llewellyn Iron
"Did you do It ? "
'Sure I did. "
"What dldryou get for It ? "
Got $200 for the Job.
'Two hundred dollars , " said Me
BKuilgal. "That is the. price paid fqr
all .such Jobs. "
'Do you know Bryce ? " was Brain's
nest question.
"Yes , I U'now him. "
'How long have you known him ? "
'About a year and a half. "
Then McManigul said he would stop
talking.
"All right , Mac , " said Brain. "I am
not trying to coerce you. Do as you
like about It. That's your right. "
"When I get out there , I'll toll about
it , " concluded McManlgul.
The subject was dropped and not
taken up again.

IN JAIL AT
LQUNGELES
M'NAMARA AND COMRADES ARE
CHARGED WITH MURDER.
WOMAN SAYS HE IS "BRYCE"
San Francisco Boarding House Keep
er , at Whose Place "Bryce" Stayed ,
Declares McNamara Is the Man A
Great Legal Battle About to Begin.
Los Angeles , April 27. John J. Me-
Nntunra , secretary of the International
Hrldgc and Structural Iron Workers'
association , his brother James Mc
Namara. and Ortle E. MeManigal , the
alleged dynamite conspirators accused
of blowing up the Times newspaper
plant last October , killing twenty-one
men , are in Los Angeles jail. In sep
arate cells , surrounded by extra
guards. All three men are charged
with murder.
The arrival after a sensational Jour
ney in irons from Indianapolis and
Chicago signalizes the beginning ot
what Is expected to be a desperate
legal struggle. Thus far , however , no
definite arrangements have been made
to Initiate the light. Before 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon all three men
were in the county prison , three
blocks from the ruins of the dynamit
ed newspaper building , but no one was
allowed to visit or consult with them
and there will not be any conferences
between the accused men and counsel
until today. District Attorney John D.
Fredericks , who said that the state
was ready to go to trial at once , an
nounced that the formality of arraign
ment would now await the defense.
O. N. Hilton , counsel for the Western
Federation of Miners , who came here
presumably to join counsel for the de
fense , started to establish headquar
ters and a working force to launch
the battle , but stopped all prepara
tions when he received a telegram
from President Ryan of the Iron work
ers' association , saying that all mat
ters pertaining to the defense of the
international secretary and his reput
ed confederates were in the hands of
Indianapolis lawyers.
"There is almost an Infinity of
things to be done at once , " said At
torney Hilton. "But there have been
no preparations and there is no money
in sight except the funds aggregating
$250,000 pledged by President Meyer
of tbe Western Federation of Miners.
Crushing Crowds Are There.
"The alleged conspirators arrived at
the jail in an automobile after ruining
the gauntlet of jwo ; crushing crowds ,
which in their eagerness to get a
glimpse of the prisoners , overbore the
efforts of more than a score of detec
tives and deputy sheriffs , detailed to
hold them back.
The men were taken from the Cali
fornia Limited train at Pasadena and
the nine-mile trip to the county jail
by automobile speed limit was abso
lutely disregarded. .
During the trip from Dodge City ,
Kan. , where John McNamara boarded
the train bearing his brother and Me-
Manigal , the three men were kept in
separate compartments. Johu knew
that his brother was under arrest be
cause he caught a glimpse of him as
he entered the railroad station in the
Kansas town. But John was ignorant
of the situation of his alleged confed
erates , and to keep him in ignorance
of it he was not brought through the
prison doors at the same time with
them.
James McNamara and McManlgal
were taken from the train at the main
station in Pasadena and hustled into
one motor car , while John remained
in his compartment until Raymond , a
suburban station of Pasadena -was
reached , where a second automobile
was in waiting.
John escaped the curious throng
around the jail , but James and Me-
Manigal were rushed by a crowd BO
dense they were unable to reach the
waiting motor car until officers could
clear a path.
Woman Says He Is "Bryce. * *
Conspicuous in the crowd was Mrs ,
D. II. Ingersoll , the woman who Is expected -
pected to play a prominent part in the
prosecution. Mrs. Ingersoll is the San
Francisco boarding houSe keeper at
whose place the man known as J. B ,
Bryce stayed prior to the destruction
of the Times building.
James McNamara , according to Wll
Ham J. Burns and the other detec
lives , is held as Bryce , the man whc
is alleged to have laid the interna !
machines that blew up the newspapei
plant , and the woman was there tc
identify him. Seated in a third auto
mobile drawn up by the Bide of one
which was to transport the prisoners
she peered into the face of McNaman
as he climbed into the machine. Th (
man was shackled to an officer , bui
he kept his unbound hand before hi :
face. In spite of this Mrs. Ingersol
declared afterward that he was Bryce
McNamara Thin and Pale.
No one , however , qould have identi
fled him as Bryce from the printed dc
scrlptlons sent out after the indict
ments were found by the grand jury
Thin and pallid , he looked little Hk <
the 160-pound man described in th <
official circulars. But to make sure
Mrs. Ingersoll will again confront hln
in Jail today.
The nine mile journey to the Jai
was made in twenty minutes and Me
Manigal and James McNnmara wen
hardly out of the prison corridor be
fore the automobile carrying John Me
Namara arrived.
In front of the Jail another bii
crowd had assembled , and hero agnii
the officers had to fight their wa ;
LIFE'S DISAPPOINTMENTS
( Oo rri ht. UttU
hrough the throng , with their prison-
rs dragging by shackled wrists.
But at no time was there even the
east sign of anger on the part of the
rowd , or of a disposition to justify
he apparent fear of the officials that
n attempt might be made to rescue
he prisoners. Union buttons were
lentiful in the assemblages , but the
nen wearing them were as quiet and
orderly as those who displayed no em
blems of affiliation with organized la
bor.

WILL ARREST
EDWARD TILDEN
CHICAGO PACKER AND HIS BANK
ERS TO BE ARRESTED FOR
CONTEMPT ,
Springfield , III. , April 27. Lleuten
ant Governor John ( r Oslesby this
morning signed the warrants for the
arrest of Edward Tlldi.'ii. W. I' . Cum
mlngs- and ( ionrgn M. Benedict , order
ed yesterday by the senate. Deputy
sergeant * at arms at once departed
for Chicago.
Springfield , III. , April 27. Edward
Tilden , Chicago packer , and William
C. Cummins * and George M. Benedict ,
president and cashier of the Drovers
Trust and Savings bank of Chicago ,
were ordered arrested on a rontempt
charge by the Illinois senate shortly
after (5 ( o'clock last night. The vote
was 40 to 7.
This action was taken on recom
mendation of the senate bribery Inves
tigation committee after Tilden , Cummings -
mings and Benedict , through their law
yers , had refused to produce Tilden's
personal bank accounts for May , June ,
July and August. 1909.
The committee believes these bank
accounts will show evidence of use ot
money In the election of William Lori-
mer to the United States senate. Til
den had submitted an affidavit before
the committee saying these accounts
show nothing directly or indirectly
bearing upon the election of Larimer.
He also had offered , in a letter to
the committee , to allow one member
to come to Chicago and examine these
bank accounts. Tilden made the ex
press stipulation that ho should be
allowed to designate the member of
the committee.
The committee took the position , in
which It was sustained by the senate ,
that It refused to allow Tilden to dic
tate the conditions upon which the-
hank accounts should bo investigated.
The commltteo also insisted that a
subpoena served on Tilden , asking for
the banking records , was sufficiently
specific and was not so-called \ "drag
net" subpoena , and was contended by
his counsel.
