International News Special

Internatlona News Special Los Angeles, May 2-FoHowing a prolonged conference with J. J. Nc Namara, Attorney Leo Rappaport, of Indianapolis, held a consultation with District Attorney Fredericks here to- day and then made the statement that Clarence Darrow would be the chief counsel for the two accused. It Is understood that Rappaport made a re- port to Darrow this morning and that he received reply this afternoon. The lawyers stated that MT .Darrow would not come here until after the arraignment of the two prisoners and not until a date for trial had been set.
 The two McNhmaras and McManigal will probably be 'arraigned before Judge Bordell Thursday afternoon.
 It is understood that the defense will make objection to Judge Bordell
 
 trying the case on the gr9und that he summoned the special grand jury that returned the indictments. Both Dis rict Attorney Fredericks and Presiding Judge Hutton consider that this would not be sufficient reasons to gain t transfer of the case. Attorney Rap paport stated that he knew of no plan to ask fer a change of venue. The lawyer said that he considered the men would be given Ia fair trial in this city and that so far as he knew at this time, there is no good reason to ask for change of venue.
 Following his arrival here from the East, Rappaport held a conference with Job Hartman and Attorney o. N. Hilton. This morning the Indian apolis lawyer, who is the general counsel for the International Assoc.a- tion of Structural Iron and Bridge Workers, visited the county Jail and for two hours conferred with J. J Me- Namara. Just before 12 o'clock he interviewed J. B. MoNamara. He made no effort to see McManigal and said that he would make no effort to see the alleged informer and that neither he nor Darrow would defend McMani- gal.
 The first intimation that McManigal would plead guilty to the charge against him was given today by Dis trict Attorney Fredericks When the District Attorney was asked in what order the three men would be tried. he said he could not answer un- til he knew how many of the prison CTS would plead guilty. This state ment was taE5n to mean that J. B. McNlamara wohld be tried first; that J. J. McNamara, would be given trial second. and that McManigal would plead guilty.
 By this arrangement McManigal will be in a position to give testimony against hoth J. B. McNamara and against J. J. McNamara
 The first legal battle in the case will occur shortly after the prisoners are iarraigned. At that time it is likely that the defense will move to qussh the indictments and that an att tack will be made upon the grand jury which issued the indictments. This fight will precede the date for plead ing. This afternoon E. R. Mills, manager Iof the Burns Agency here, held a conference with MclManigal and in leaving the prisoner announced th,ot Mrs. McManiga will arrive in Los Angeles within the next few weeks. Mrs. McManigal will be ore of the most important witnesses for the prosecutior and it will be through her testimony that the District Attor- ney hopes to identify J. J. McNamara with the alleged plot for the desruc- tion of property.
