M'NAMARA CONFESS

Tonight as the two brothers sat to :
gether in the county Jail refusing 10
see anyone or make statement, an
interest second only to the occurrence
itself hung about the question IN TeI
erence to Jas. B. Mcnamara, w nv
did he confess?" To this the opposing
counsel gave the same answer: HE
confessed because he was guilty.
That's all there is to it, declared
Fredericks. :.
ale was counseled to confess be-
caase that was the best thing ne couid
do in the opinion of counsel, salu
Attorney Clarence s. DarroW, ,cniet
counsel for the defense. He continued
.'I win say now there was no other

This statement was mdae as ne was
looking squarely in the faces of the
defendants, Charges that the recent
arrest of Burt II. Franklin, an inVes.,
tigator employed by the defense, ana
two others with him, might nave pre-
cipitated the situation was untenaple
save by the confession of the prisoner
Negotiations have been on Tor
weeks asserted Darrow, and this was
corroborated by Fredericks. I'VE eX-
pected at one time that Jim would
confess last Monday, but he did not,
said barrow Darrow also denied that
any external pressure was exerted
from union labor or Socialist sources,
as Gen. Harrison Gray Otis had
CHARGED in a formal statement, or that
the municipal election next Tuesday'
in which Job Hartman, one OF the
Eounsel for the defense, is candl-
date for mayor, carried any weight
II was learned that Hartman was
not consulted at all in the delibera-
tions. White, gaunt and hoarse- Har
rirnan leaned against the wall IN ms
Office and confirmed this. This trlai
has nothing to do with local issues
he said.
RRoTHERLY AFFECTION,
That brotherly affection, bordering
on worship, il became known tonight
brought about Jas. B. Mcnamara
confession. A desire to save MS
brother from the necessity of confess
ing anything at all held back day after
day the word that would bring the
trial to an end. A solution was finally
found ia the proposition that Jno. j.
Mcnamara plead guilty to dynamitins
the iron works, for which he and Ortie
McManigal were Jointly indicted.

Teheran, Persia. Dec. 1.-The ma
tionaI council has rejected the Russian
ultimatum by q big majority. The
foreign minister has resigned.
The vote of the national council on
rejection of the ultimatum was cast in
open session. A subsequent secret
sitting of the members was practically
unanimous against compliance.
A cablegram from British Foreign
assembly during it's sitting. The dis
patch urgently advised compliance
with the Russian demands, but some
of the members pointed out that Eng
lands advice had hitherto only led to
Persian humiliation. They believed
that Sir Edward Grey had been misin-
formed and emphatically asserted that
Russian injustice had become in
tolerable.
They thought that resistance on the
part of the Persian government to
the Russian demands would awaken
foreign attention and lead to an i'm
partial inquiry. Compliance on the
other hand would be construed as a
sign Of abject cowardice and would
mean national suicide.
Ala ex-governor Of the
province of Ears, was assassinated as
he YVES leaving his residence this
morning. Three men participated in
the crime. They pierced their victim
with seven revolver shots.
Speaker after speaker declared 1t
was impossible for Persia ever to sign
away her own influence. II Russia
should wrest it from her, that would
be Gods will.
A deputation of members of the ma
tional council waited on w. Morgan
Shuster before the vote was taken in
the parliamentary session. The
American treasurer general begged
them to consult only the interests Of
their country and not to consider
him.
The national council registered it's
refusal to comply with the terms of
the Russian ultimatum at 11:45, Just a
