others.
Immediately after the dynamlting OF
the Los Angeles Times I wac employed
by Mayor Alexander OF Los Angeles IN
an Investigation TO bring the peipe
traitors 10 Justice. Other persons at Los
Angeles, including the management: OF
the Times, did not wish me to DO EN-
ployed because ] had Involved men Of
prominence IN the San Francisco graft
Investigation They employed other
agencies. This was followed by offers
OF rewards aggregating $4,000. md
every detective official or private in the
civilized world was engaged In an effort
10 find the perpetrators of the explosion.
I'm my opinion II was not difficult 10
determine h was responsible for the
outrages. IN view OF the fact that sev-
eraI attempts at explosions In the Mid
die West failed. Subsequently We
learned that clock attachments were
used to set on the explosions.
Followed Clock Clue.
When some OF these clocks failed to
explode In Los Angeles. II was Indicated
clearly that the same persons were m
plicated. ! followed a logical conc,u-
sion that the structural iron workers
were responsible. for IN every case OF
explosion / found that they were in
volved In difficulties with the building
management by patience and perse-
verance W finally were enabled ~
bring about these arrests.
At the time OF the arrest of IN.
three prisoners We found Ia their pos
session twelve clock attachments with
fuse. batteries and Illuminating caps all
ready to be applied. AT the time OF the
arrest OF J, !. Mcnamara we found in
his possession large quantities of dyua.
mite ana nitroglycerine. with materials
for attachments. fuses. wires and fulmi.
mating caps. In my opinion my case 1,
complete.
i did not hesitate 30 take up the in.
~vestigatluus. There were no obstacle.
that could prevent mo from conscI.n.
tlously and honestly carrying out Ia,
case TO IA successful conclusion.
"Our representatives have been fai,
even with these men. The momen

them OF their iigats and gave then

There was no attempt to browbeat .
wheodle them into confessions.
