what they needed to Los Angeles, and
all Of their movements up to the
time II Of them slipped into the
dark opening in the Times building
known as "ink alley" and placed the
machine that wrecked the structure,
killing 81 employees and injuring
two-score or more.
How Burns Led Search.
AT the time of the dynamiting Of
the Times plant Burns was In Los
Angeles attending the convention of
the American Bankers Association.
He was called IN by Mayor Alexan-
der and the committee Of the Mer-
chants Association to investigate.
Shortly afterward he disappeared for
two motnhs, not even his offices
knowing where he was, nor did he
communicate with them. He knew
that he was being Swallowed, and
SCHNEIDER asserts that officers Of the
Iron Workers Association called up
his various Offices to find where he
was. Some Of his efforts at this time
were to throw off shadows"
He next located the three men OF
the launch Pastime in a furnished
room In the Mission district of San
Francisco. From the landlady here
he obtained a still better description
OF the three. He found in the room
a paper that contained the outside
wrappings Of fuses, and a large trunk
left by the three. This trunk Burns
considers Of Importance in this case.
Worked in Chicago.
At the end Of these two months he
was practically sure OF two of his
men. He found J.. w. Mcnamara in
Chicago. McManigal, who, it is al
legged, passed under the name Of Kap-
Ian, was with Mcnamara. They lived
In a room on the South Side, and
hung out In certain saloons and dance
halls. From time to time the men
would jump into Pennsylvania, Ohio,
to Indianapolis, P%ittsburg, Cleye-
lane and elsewhere. Some dynamite
blow-up always followed these little
jaunts, the detectives charge. Burns
men f~orestalled the destruction Of a
e bridge In Kansas City by arriv-
ing on the scene, and grabbing the
clock arrangement. The clock found
on this occasion will be used by
Burns at the trial In California to
show how these jobs are done.
Always after these little trips the
two men, 1t Is charged, would turn
up In Chicago with plenty Of money.
During their stay in Chicago the
watch was slightly relaxed, as Burns
knows that a MAJ cannot be shadow
ed long without realizing it. When
they seemed ready to start out that
was another matter.
Wrote to j. j. Mcnamara.
Burns asserts that Mcnamara and
Mechanical had correspondence with
John j. Mcnamara, the secretary Of
the + Workers Association, in In
d%ianapolis.
On April II last twelve yeggs were
arrested In Toledo, Ohio, for bank
breaking. This was the cue for Ray
mond j. Burns, son Of William j.,
to arrest Mcnamara and Mechanical
In Detroit next day on two "John
Doe warrants. The pair we're leav-
ing a hotel In the evening with a
dress suit case filled, it Is alleged,
with dynamite and time-clock appa-
ratus. The bank robbery charges
enabled Raymond Burns to take the
two men to Chicago, as they signifed
their Willingness to go, without giving
warning Of the real cause of the ar
rest. Burns wanted to get them to
Chicago because Police Sergt. Hossick
was going to that city with the reuui-
sition papers from Governor John
son. of California, made out for the
State Of Illinois. There they were
taken and held until Burns was
ready to arrest John J. Mcnamara in
indianapolis. which took place Tues
day.
Burns says that the men bought
dynamite in several different places
in Annapolis, Md: some near Gin
c1nnati, and some in Illinois. He now
considers that he has evidence to
connect the two men, James w. Nc
Namara n Ortie B.. Mechanical,
with several other explosions and dy-
Mantle outrages.
Prisoners Now In California.
