When John j. Mcnamara entered
and took a seat beside his brother
vacated for him by Darrow there

No balliff pounded for order. NJ

A summary of the days happenings
include the following Incidents

TO having placed a dynamite bomh
under the Los Angeles Times build
ing In October, 1910, and causing the
death of twenty-one persons.
John j. Mcnamara, secretary of the

tural Iron Workers brother OF James

ment similarly charged, but when he

Bribery charges against Bert II.
Franklin. a detective employed by the
defense. probably will be
dropped now as irrevelant to the main
issue. This completes the part Of the
state OF California in the affair, but

tonight that If the United States gov
ernment instituted proceedings for
any unlawful transportations of dyna-
mite, or anyone else wished to delve
into the cause Of explosions where
laborers were involved, 1t was mat
ter in which he had no further con-
rern. though this disposal will be CIV

Takes Less Than 20 Minutes.
The court room today was one Of
protracted tension. Sensation fol-
lowed sensation with such repidty
that the crowd hardly realized what
happened in those few moments OF
formal procedure. In less than TWEEN
ty minutes the big case was disposed
Df but for hours previously there had
cen an uncertain. unsatisfied feel
ng that something startling would
develop. and so closely guarded was
he information that the spectators
we're prepared for almost everything
except the thing that happened. It
vas not thought that after the vigor-
,us battle waged thus far. one side
would lay down its arms so willingly,
10 freely. and even so happlly-for
10Th prisoners smiled. chewed gum
md appeared as they have no other
lay-confidently unconcerned.
