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.

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.

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.
