mated that at least $1,000, 900 has been
spent by the defence in the complete
| preparation Of their case
Line Of Defence Not Known.
No intimatiou has been given as to
the line Of defence which VIII be pre-
scented Many rumOrs have 1t that Mr..
DGrrOW and his associates will argue
the case without calling a single wit
ness. The most generally accepted
theory Is that the defence VIII admit a
number Of points in evidence which
will be made by the prosecution, and
that they viii be able to present an
explanation which will show that the
entire case is q conspiracy to in1ure
union labor. IT has been openly charged
that McAIanigal is an emplOye Of the
Burns detective agency and that he
was employed number OF years ago
This charge has been denied by Burns
and every other officer interested In
the prosecutions case
Satisfied With Their Attorneys.
Both the MCNAMARA brothers are en-
tfrely satisfied with their attorneys ana
the manner in which their defence has
been prepared. Long before John ].
Mcnamara was arrested at the head
quarters of the structural iron workers
In Indianapolis he knew Clarence Oar
row. They were intimately acquainted,
and shortly after his arrest the secre-
tary insisted that barrow be induced
to take charge Of the defence 1t was
only upon the pleas Of Mcnamara and
Samuel Gompers, president Of the
y II
DarrOw consented TO defend the two
men.
The retaining Of Joseph Scott with
the defence came as surprise to many
members Of the chamber Of commerce
and the Merchants and Manufacturers
association. Scott had been an advO-
cate Of the open shop and upon num-
Der Of public occasions had spoken
against the tactics employed by union
men in dealing with their employers
The only statement which Scott makes
in this regard now is that he hopes
the defendants will be given full and
complete hearing before an unpreju-
diced jury
gIcIanfEaI Talks.
In q statement McManigGl made no
attempt to justify the crimes he says
that he committed. He admitted that
his present action is prompted by ne
taken was the only one left open to
him. He now says that his wife is
hopelessly estranged from him, and
that he has only one hOpe-tO tell fully
to the world what he knows.
Those who know McManigal well say
that he viii make an excellent witness
for the prosecution He is cool and
deliberate and speaks slowly, but with
out hesitancy. Burns detective NAL
committed his first crime while almost
delirious with enthusiasm and that the
commission of this first alleged crime
gave j. J. Mcnamara reason to have
in 1IcManigal and to assign
him 70 other such work
Repeatedly. McLaren says, McManigal
tried to break away, and each time he
was threatened and forced to continue
until he was arrested with j. B. Nc
