tiye's Arrest in Jail at
Los Angeles.
DECLARES WHOLE THING
is ONLY A FRAME-UP
Partially Breaks Down When
Told of McManigal's Confess
sion of Dynamiting.

LOS ANGELES. April 27.-Two prom
inent California labor men are marked
for arrest today in consequence of the
Identification of James w. Mcnamara
by Mrs. D. H. Ingersoll as the u. ,.
Bryce who lived at her boarding
house for two weeks Immediately pre-
ceding the Times explosion, in which
twenty-one lives were lost.
The woman's identification Of Nc
Namara as Bryce is the most important
thing that has transpired since the. ar
rests were made. Bryce. with two other
men, bought 500 pounds of dynamite at
Giant, Cal, early in September, took 1T
away from the powder works in
launch, stored large of 1t in a
vacant building in South San francisco
and brought the remainder to Los An
geles. Part of this was used in wreck
ing the Times.
Taken to County Jail.
James w, Mcnamara and Ortie Il.
McManigal were brought safely here
yesterday and locked in the county
Jail. John ]. Mcnamara, secretary
treasurer of the International Bridge
md Structural Ironworkers, arrived q
few minutes later.
Mrs. Ingersoll was at the station
when James McNamara arrived with
McManigal. KS Mcnamara left the
train Mrs. Ingersoll identified him.
While Mcnamara as Bryce lived in
her house, Mrs. Ingersol overheard
conversations that led her to communir
cate her suspicious to the authorities.
Streets Cleared.
The streets in the immediate vicinity
of the Jail building had been cleared
oy squad of police under the personal
direction of Chief Sebastian for more
than an hour before the time set for the
arrival of the prisoners; but the Win
dows, the stairs and big lawn of the
Court House opposite the jail were
packed with humanity.
The arrival of the prisoners was the
first intimation that John j. McNa-
mara and his brother, James w. Nc
Namara, had of the arrest of each
other.
AS he entered the office of the Jail
he was suddenly confronted by the
sight of his brother At the sight OF
the other prisoner heavily manacled
and surrounded by half-dozen detec-
lives he was plainly shocked. His face
paled perceptibly. and he asked for a
chair.
Mcnamara Near Collapse.
When the prisoners had been locked
I'D it became known that when the
train was at Barstow Cal, James Nc
Namara learned of the story that Nc
Manigal had made revelations to de-
tectives and implicated his former
pal" the secretary of the union, and
others. The effect of this information
was to break down the stole reserve
which he had shown since his arrest in
Detroit. When he reached. the county
Jail he was almost exhausted, but
maintained his outer air of composure
His face was white and he coughed In
cessantly. His fingers, yellowed by to-
bacco, for he rolls and smokes con-
tinualiy, fiickered and twitched about
his rather weak mouth, and twice as
he stood before the desk he staggered
and had to be held.
The elder McNamara's first concern
was for his brother.
What is the charge against him p
he asked
Being informed that James McNa-
bomb that wrecked the Times building
John said:
But that is absurd; that is foolish!
Why. hut why talk? The whole thing
is a frame-up. pure and simple
