McManigaI's Con-
fessiOn Confirmed.

Les Angeles April 2S.-Although it
has been all but certain for some time
without any definite details being
known that a confession has been
made in tire dynamite conspiracy ease.
all doubt that important progress along
that line had been made was removed
by Ortie r MECHANICAL himself today
He declined TO see Attorney Job Har-
rilaan. former Socialist candidate for
ice President and counsel for the
Mcnamara brothers the alleged con-
federates Of MECHANICAL.
District Attorney Fredericks had said
that tie prisoner would see none of
the lawyers associated with the de-
fence and McManigal afterwards con-
firmed this statement personally to
Hartman at the jail.
Hartman went to the prison expressly
to give McManigal an opportunity to re-
peat the declaration the accused dyna-
inter made yesterday to Attorney o. n.
Hilton that he had not made a confess
sion and would make none.
Instead the lawyers question today re-
ceived replies very different. These caus-
ed him TO declare on emerging from the
sherff's office that John J. Mcnamara
and his brother James are now the only
ones in whose behalf the defence would
center its efforts-the only ones whose
lives were to be fought for by the law
yers to be retained by the various labor
organizations.
Furthermore, the only visitors McMan-
gal receives now are men from the dis
trict attorneys office, Sheriff Hammel
and operatives of the detective agency
which rounded up the alleged conspira-
tors.
Suggestions that immunity had been
offered to Mechanical brought denials
from the district attorney who said
that no promises had been made to the
prisoner
Every one connected with the case
enjoyed a measure of comparative
quiet today. but sensational develop
ments are expected at any time i'll the
shape of additional arrests.
f. r. Mills local agent of Detective
Burns, said late today that two other
arrests are impending.
