be protected In his official capacity and

that government is under duress from

M'MANIGAL BLEW
UP POWER PLANT
Los Angeles Dynamiter Plants In-,
fernal Machine in Omaha on
July 22, 1910.
CHIEF DONAHUE TELLS STORY
Burns Men Connect the Crime with
Others In Mhlch the "elf.
Confessed Dynamiter
Was Engaged.
The attempt to wreck by. dynamite the
new power plant of the Omaha & Coun.
ell Bluffs Street Railway company on the
morning of July 22; 1H10, was tho work of
Ortle Mc.Manlgol, later Indicted with tho
McNamara brothers at Los , Angeles.
Proof of this was gathered by Chief of
Police John J. Donahue of Omaha and
his department' and William J. Burns'
men In the weeks following the explosion
which destroyed a portion of the first
floor of the new power plant and dam
aged It to the extent of 12.000. Chief
Donahuo has received word that McManl
gal has confessed to' tne crime.
"Ortle McManlgal cams here July 19,
1910," cold Chief Donahue, "and regis
tered at the V'Mlon hotel under the name
of George Fisher. ' After reoohnoiterlng
he - placed a bomb under the e'leottio
power plant about 12 o'clock at eight,
when the watchman was at lunch, set the
fuse and waited - for the explosion to
wreck , tlie derrick. Through some mis
timing .of the cloek. or misplacement of
the dynamite the explosion wrecked only
about half the ground floor. Had - the
bomb been better placed the derrick
would 'have been destroyed and the en
tire structure wrecked.
Burns' Men oa the Jab.
"We . began working on the case at
once, but were not very successful. Later
William J. Burns snt his men here and
they finally discovered that McManlgal
hnd been here ' and registered at the
Union hotel under an assumed name.
Evidence was gathered which precluded
any doubt but what tbe Job was don by
him. Immediately after the explosion be
left the city and Burns' men went on his
trail.
"I was under subpoena by District At
torney John I. Fredericks to go to Los
Angeles and' appear as a witness for the
state. I was supposed to report there on
October 11, as was also Mr. ' Wagner of
the Union hotel.
"I fully bolteve that McManlgal also
attempted to wreck the new Douglas
county court house. We have been un
able to gather evidence of a conclusive
character that he did It and the Burns'
men have also failed, but the circum
stances point to him as tbe guilty man.'.'
Fewer Plant Explosion.
The explosion at the electrlo power
plent occurred at 13:20 o'clock in the
morning and the jar wss felt In nearly
every part of the city.
In his confession McManlgal said be had
ret'lgtcrud at a hotel called Murray, but
his description fitted the Union hotel.
He said It was a block west of th Bur
lington station, an "old place," and just
what he had wanted. 11 confessed to
having UHed several names while In
Omaha. . but couldn't remember the one
he hod registered under at the Union
hotel. . .
George 1 Wagner, proprietor of the
Union hotel, said: "They have had tbe
register of that date In Los Angeles for
four months. I can't recall the Fisher
who . registered here under that data.
Some of Detective Burns' agents came to
me and Inquired for some man of an
other name, looked over the register,
said they had located their man and
left. It was evidently McManlgal, for
they said he had gone to California and
they left on his trail."

ARE AFTER MEN HIGHER UP
Erectors Want to Know Who Fi
nanced McNamaras' Operations.
STATEMENT OF WALTER DREW
BeTlef Ex presses that Federal In
IlrT at Indianapolis M ill Dis
close Instlaators of
the Crimes.
NEW YORK, Deo. 8. "The fight has
only just begun. This Is only the first
chapter. Whut we want to find out now
Is who were the men behind the McNa
maras, and this we propose to do."
This statement was made today by
Walter Drew, chief counsel for the Na
tional Erectors' association, which em
ployed William J. Rums and tils detec
tives to Investigate th Lot Angeles
dynamiting case.
"The McNamara, In pleading guilty,
have said that they were sent out there
and aoted for a principle," Mr. Drew
continued. ' "It Is obvious that the mon
representing . this 'principle' have kept
Uiera well supplied with money. It Is to
find out , who . these . men are that be
comes the Important Issue from now on."
-Mr. Drew emphasised the Importance
of tbe federal Investigation nqw under
way at Indianapolis. - " .
"Compared to this the prosecution f
tli McNamaras 1a a side Issue," he con
tinued. "W of the National Erectors'
association have . no personal malice
against the NcNamara and hope that
clemency will be extended to them. We,
too, are fighting for a principle, just as
they, were. ,
"Tho big principle behind It all, on our
part. Is the prosecution of the men who
paid the i McNamara and countenanced
and Instigated this outrage. I have every
reason to believe th federsl authorities
will continue a rigid Investigation of the
case. The National Erectors' association
will, of course,' give every aid possible.
There also will be co-operation with- the
Los Angeles authorities.
"Th whole thing is a national Issue
and the sooner , union labor frees Itself
of the criminal element the better It will
be for labor; and the sooner the country
realises that It Is such an Issue the bet
tor, and the sooner the problem be
put on its proper footing."
Mr. Drew said that messages of con
gratulation had been pouring Into his
office all morning from every section of
the country. i
Charles 13. Cheny, secretary of the
association said:
"Th Los Angeles authorities seem to
be able to attend to that end of th case.
The broader sspocts areSn charge of the
federal authorities at Indianapolis. The
association hopes, of course, to see all
the wrongdoers prosecuted.
"Detective Burns was retained by th
association on September 19, mio, after
that organisation hud determined to
spare no expense In running down the
perpetrators of dynaiirto outrage:! that
had been Increasing where structural
building operations were In progress. At
that time Mr. Burns was given a list of
twenty-five such rxploslcns that had oc
curred In 19u and 1910."

Head of Western Miners Bars Men
Should Not Have Confessed.
DENVER. Doc 2.-Charles IL Moyer,
president of the Western Federation of
Miners, who with William D. Haywood
and John, A. 1 etllboiio, v. as arrested In
connection with the murder of former
Governor Btcunenberg five years ago,
declared today that the comohslon ot
the McNamaras furniuhvd rnpitnl with a
club which It "would not be slow to ue
against orgunlsed labor."
"For that reason, no matter ho.v j;uilty
I might havo been 1 never would have
confessed," declared Moyor.
The Moyer-I'ettlbone-llaywood case
bears imuuy points of slni"ar'ts to the
Mi Namsra cose. Tho arrests were made
largely on evidence fuml.-ihed In what
purported to be a conf'-n.oii by Hairy

In both cases the cry of "capital vexuus
labor" was raised. '
Haywood and Pettlbone were acquitted
while the ' case against Moyer W:f3
dropped. Orchard is now serving a llfu
sentence In the Idaho penitentiary.
"I am greatly surprised; I can hardly
tell what I think," uontlnuoJ Moyer. But
this much Is certain:
"The McNunuras have given enemies
of organised labor a club wulch they
will not be slow to use. is it a political
nioasure? It It was It will not result
In the defeat of Job Harrlman for mayor
of Los Angeles. It in iy Uocreas his

SINGLE
CAUSE OF LABOR
IS NOTJNJURED
Clarence Darrow Says Union Lead
ers Who Condemn His Action
Do Not Know All Facts.
COULD NOT CONFIDE IN ALL
They Will Net Be Bitter When
. They t'nderatand the situation
Solution Was Only Prac
' tlcable One.
I.OS4 ANOELEH. Dec. 1-Fatlguod and
worn, his face - deeply lined and pale,
Clarence S. Darrow, veteran of many
legal battles In which labor has been
Involved, In today a disheartened man.
He read, the comments ot labor leaders
throughout Iho country on the pleas of
guilty entered yesterday both by J. B.
and J. J. McNamara, secretary-treasurer
of the International Association of Bridge
and Ptructural Iron Workers. He de
clared ' that th's was not the time to
make explanations, that the sentence of
both prisoners hod not yet been fixed.
but that labor leaders would understand
In duo course that the procedure yes
terday was the only solution of a- vex
atious' problem that hud worried i him
for months.
11 cannot talk about It now," Darrow
declared as he stood on th veranda of
a bungalow, gating at th hills, "but
organised labor was not hurt and th
leaders will not be so bitter when they
know tho facts."
May Save Others,
It Is , believed ( tliat Attorney Darrow
meant that the compromise affected yes
terday was much mure extensive than
hitherto bad been hinted namely, that
the state oC California had in its posses
sion Information that would have in
volved other prominent persons and that
the agreement to get the McNamara to
plead guilty practically saves a score- of
Indictments and pros-x-utlons.
Darrow was perturbed by the reports
that labor leaders had been led to be
lieve th .defendants Innocent and that
they had no advance Information on th
pitas.. i .
Th Impracticability of taking th labor
leaders generally Into their confidence It
Is thought Is one reason this waa not
done, though It is known that Darrow
sent messages to several prominent labor
leaders a wee't ago urging them to com
here for a conference.
Edward Nockels, secretory of the Chi
cago Federation ot Labor, who bos been
in the city for two weeks, knew ot tho
situation with respect to the pleas and
Is sold to have accepted the solution ot
yesterday as the only practical one.
Taken ss a whole, the fear of further
exposes during the trial Is said to have
cut oft its continuation and It was hinted
that at some future time labor men would
snow the detail.
Attitude vf Basinese Men.
The husluusH men ot thu city who In
stituted the move to end the trial. It was
leurned today, would have been satis
fied with the confession of , James B.
McNamara. They thought that would be
sufficient vindication for tbe prosecution,
but the state officials thought otherwise.
The committee of business men argued
and argued, but. District Attorney John
D. Fredericks, was obdurate. It waa a
plea of guilty by both brothers' at this
time that ho contended tor or a continua
tion of the trials.
"That wo my ultimatum," remarked
the tlictrlct attorney today, "and the
coinmltn-e of business men , tvbo were
practically the go-betweens persuadod the
defense that It was the lost ttraw.
"Just ten daya ago," explained Attor
ney Darrow, "wo talked with the Mc
Namara brothers about pleading, but
only In the lost few days did the thing
come to a climax."
"How did they feel about the matter?"
"Well, they accepted their fate with
resignation, but felt glad, I think, that
they hod averted a possible death pen
alty for one of them."
Jantea J. May Be Paroled.
Attorney Harrow declared that as the
parolo law covered tbe cases ot the Mc
Namaras, J. J. McNamara might bo out
after serving a brief term. As for James
V, with a lite Imprisonment sentence,
the situation would be more difficult.
Though many statement purporting to
have como from the McNamaras have
bt-en current, counsel announced today
tnat the brothers had not been Inter
viewed since they , left the court room
yesterday and would not be until after
sentence waa pronounced on Tuesday
next.
Tli office of District Attorney Freder
icks and the corridor leading to It In
the hall of records weru crowded with
people waiting to see him. He arrived
late and flint received Lecompt Davis,

cussed tho case at length today, 'There

how many or the nature of their posi

there are other prominent men mixed

I, think this ess shows to a positive

on th part of any man to put himself
above th power of th law. Thl ha not
