The Federal Grand Jury's PrObe...
Interest in Bribery Scandal
Increasing,
McNAMARA'S THE CONFESSION.
.Otfs Wanted Christmas Gift-I'm G0idg
to send one out There" Alleged to
Have Been Uttered by j, y. Mcnamara

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. S.-That
the federal grand jury, probing the
alleged dynamite conspiracy, Will
devote much attention to the reputed
misuse OF the mails in connection
with the collection Of the Mcnamara
defense fund, seems certain today.
Dozens Of postofIice inspectors are
endeavoring to secure evidence to
show that despite the admission OF
attorneys for the defense that they
knew for months that the men were
guilty, they have persistently written
all inquirers that the McNamaras
were absolutely innocent.
AS a result they received many
contributions which would otherwise
have been denied. The inspectors
have many letters. sent to Attorney
Darrow and his associates, and their
replies and are trying to determine
whether there has been any violation
OIL tue law. II 81, liuIsllliSIilo Ga y
certain.
Meanwhile, the examination of
Ortie McManigal and others who have
been subpoenaed to corroborate his
story continues. McManigal repeated
his entire story IS first told to Detec-
tive Burns. Now special federal
prosecutor Lawler and assistant Dis
trict attorney Regan, in charge of the
investigation. are working to con-
firm this. For that purpose they
have a dozen labor men from San
Francisco and Seattle here and will
interrogate them.
Interest in the bribery scandal is
increasing as result of the an
aouncement Of Detective Sam Browne
that he will claim the reward offered
fer the arrest and conviction of the
dynamiters. He will base his claim
on the announcement Of Judge Bord-
we'll that the bribery revelations
caused the plea of guilty. 1t is GER
tain that Bcrdwell demands that
Fredericks prosecute but whether he
will do so or not he declines to say.
