Bitter Against Wife
AT this point in McManigals story
Detectives McLaren and Barry, who
were present, stopped him, saying
Angeles were few compared to the
whole number charged against the
Mcnamara brothers, and of which
McManigai was said to have knowl-

detective said that it was Mrs Nc
Manigal who cut from the newspa-
pers accounts of all the explosions
caused by her husband aad kept them
for him to snow to John j. McNa-
mara, because the secretary and treas
urer Of the international Association
Of Bridge and Structural lronworl0-
