The Bribery Scandal.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. S.-That the

its attention to the reputed misuse Of
the mails in connection with the col
lection of the Mcnamara defense
fund seems certain today.
Inspectors are working hard to get
evidence which will show that the de-
fense knew that the men were guilty
for months but had written that the
men were innocent. AS result they
received many contributions which
would have been denied otherwise
Meanwhile the examination of Or
tie McManigal and others continues.
McManigal repeated his entire story
as first told to Detective Burns. Now
Special Prosecutor Lawler and At
torney Regen are working to confirm
this. For that purpose they have a
dozen labor men from the west here
and will interrogate them.
Interest in the bribery scandal is
increasing as the result of the an
nouncement by Detective Browne that
he will claim the reward for the ar
rest and conviction Of the dynamiters.
He bases his contention On the
statement Of Judge Bordwell from the
bench that the bribery scandal forced
