man was shackled to an officer. but
he kept his unbound hand before his
face. In spite of this, Mrs. Ingersoll
declared afterward that he was Bryce.
No one, however. could have identi-
fled him as Bryce from the printed
description sent out after the indict-
ments were found by the grand jury.
Thin, to the point of emaciation, pail
lid as one stricken with some fatal
disease; broad of forehead with the
skin drawn tightly over high cheek
bones to an unusually pointed chin, he
looked little like the 100 pound man
described in the official circulars.
But to make sure Mrs. Ingerson
will again confront him in the jail at
10 O'Clock tomorrow morning.
The nine mile journey to the jail
was made in twenty minutes and Nc
Manigal and James Mcnamara were
hardly out of the prison corridor be-
fore the automobile carrying John
Mcnamara arrived.
In front of the Jail another large
crowd had assembled, and here again
the officers had to fight their way
through the throng, with their pris-
oners dragging by shackled wrists.
AT no time was there evident the
least sign of anger on the part of the
crowds, or of a disposition to justify
the apparent fear of the officials that
an attempt might be made to rescue
the prisoners. Union buttons were
plentiful in the assemblages, but the
men wearing them were as quiet and
orderly as those who displayed no
emblems of affiliation with organ
lied labor.
Prior to the arrival of the prison
ers some effort was made to start
preparations and arrangements for
their defense. Attorney Hilton, who
came to Los Angeles under the in
structions of President Meyer of the
Western Federation of Miners, was
called on by a committee of local
labor leaders, who requested him to
go ahead with the preliminaries. AT
the head of this committee was j.
e. Timmons, organizer for the iron
workers.
Hilton told them that the case
meant an incredible amount of work
and at his suggestion rooms were en-
gagged as headquarters.
Hilton then wired to President Ry-
an OF the Iron Workers association
information of what had been done
In reply came the message that all le-
gal matters were In the hands OF the
indianapolis attorneys and every
thing was Immediately dropped, ap-
parently on question of legal ethics.
but something has to be done
quickly said Mr. Hilton tonight.
"Technicalities at this stage like those
being interposed at indianapolis are
mere waste of time and money. The
men are already in the jurisdiction OF
this court, and no matter IL Burns did
act in high handed and unwarrant-
ed manner. it is certain under tile su-
preme court decision rendered in the
Meyer Haywood -Pettibone case re-
garding the form of alleged kidnap-
ing, that they will be left here to un-
dergo trial. What, therefore, is the
use of dallying with kidnapping charges
ana petitions to congress?
District Attorney Frederick said to-
day that assistance from special coun-
sci would be accepted If proffered but
that none would be sought.
This case will be handled hereafter
solely by this office" he said. There
will be no appointments of special
deputy district attorneys as was done
in the grand jury investigation
Although hustled hurriedly from
the automobiles through the crowd
into the Jail today. once inside the
prison the McNamaras and McMani-
gal were calm. They offered no OBJ
lection to the formalities which all
must endure and said scarcely
word except to give their names.
The three prisoners were placed in
separate cells and win have no OPP
portunity to converse with each othcr.
They made no request OF the author
tiles at this time that they be per-
mitted to see attorneys, although they
will be allowed that right when they
ask for it. They also will be permit
ted to see a few of the union labor
leaders.
Sheriff Hammell said he had ar
ranged for special guard at the Jail
but did not think they would be
needed.
The arrival of the accused men in
Los Angeles caused no demonstration
among the union labor men. God
frey Dawson, resident representative
of the Pattern Makers League OF
America, and authorized spokesman
for the Los Angeles union said:
while we shall act largely upon
the advice of counsel. it is certain
that the union leaders of this city will
call personally upon the three men
imprisoned and assure them of our
support and sympathy.
so far as the cause of union labor |
being hurt because of the pending tri- |
ais of the three men in this city is
concerned, there is nothing in 1t. |
Last night seventy-two new members |
were initiated into one union here
