Chicago.-The police today inti-
mated that II confession had been se-
cured from Artie Nc Manigal, one of
the men accused in connection with
the dynamiting of the Los Angeles
Times, in which he admits having
helped TO kill 100 people and de-
stroy $3,OOO,OOO worth of property.
His confession: it is said, covers 90
typewriter pages, giving full details
of all outrages in which he was con.
cerned.
The police further declare that
they know from detectives of the
Burns agency that Mcnamara and
McNIanigal have committed various
dynamite outrages, and that If they
escape conviction in the Times case,
they will be brought east and tried
again.
Captain Wood, chief of detectives,
says that the evidence against Me-
Namara is complete and that his men
worked with Burns for months, gath
ering evidence, and that j. w. Nc
Namara is nothing less than an an
archist.
Shortly after the Times building
was blown up, reward of $4,000
would lead to the arrest of the dyna-
miters. A man close to the guilty
gave this information and was paid
the reward, and Sor months the de"
tectives worked with this confeder-
ate on the inside. The police are now
looking for Matt Schmidt and Harry
Kaplan. The police charge j. w.
McNamara, and NIcNlanigal with rob-
berries here, also the killing of Jere-
miah Lynch, a watclman who caught
the two men dynamiting and was
shot down.
Clarence Darrow, the noted labor
lawyer, probably will not defend Nc
Namara and McManigal, saying he
was too old to go into long battle.
He recommends Edgar l.. Mastos Of
his own law firm for counsel.
Headed by Samuel Gompers, la
Dor leaders all over the country are
rushing into print, denouncing the
Burns detectives for kidnapping" j..
j. Mcnamara, now on his way to Los
Angeles to answer for the Times
dynamiting. A serious breach be-
tween labor and capital is predicted
as a result. The labor leaders
charge there has been conspiracy
on the part of detectives to secure
the big reward offered for a convic-
ton.

the American Federation of Labor

held to plan defense for McNam-
ara.
Toledo, Ohio.-W. j. Burns arriv-
ed here this afternoon and went to
the Union Station and seized a grip

ing plots, he will see to it they have
a hearing court with an attorney to
