Solution OF Trial Difficulties.
The solution finally was found in the
proposition that John ]. McNamara
plead guilty to the dynamitjug of the
Llewellyn Iron Works. for which he
and Ortie E. McManigal Jointly were
indicted.
Yesterdays proceedings were con-
centrated in few minutes. At the
morning session of court, District At
torney Fredericks obtained adjourn
ment until afternoon. This was con.
sidered' plausible because Of registra-
tion fraud warrants known to be i'm
pending in connection with the coming
election.
Faith in this supposition. however.
was jolted when 1t became known that
Lawrence Sullivan. the investigator
employed by the defense. had been in
Fredertck's Office and Attorneys OAR
row and Davis also had been there.
At the afternoon session the court
room was packed. many attaches of
Frederick's office being present. Mrs.
Fredericks had a seat inside the rail.
James B. Mcnamara sat next to At
back and put his arm around him.
When John ]. Mcnamara entered
and took q seat behind his brother,
vacated for him by Darrow, there was
small doubt Of what would occur. The
pleadings Of the men aroused no stir
in the court room.
Court Room Quiet.
No bailin pounded for order. No
relative was there to weep or make a
demonstration. A civil case could not
have been more quietly conducted and
no amount of hysteria could have em-
phasixed or equaled the impression Of
tense anxiety which pervaded the
room.
Once for a moment before J. B. Nc
Namara stood up to plead. baby
cried. The startled mother hustled it
out Of the room. but the prisoner
did not even look around:
Two floors above the court room. q
few minutes after adjournment, the
office Of the district attorney was alive
with a throng of people. friends Of
the prosecution. newspapermen and
photographers. The district attorney
threw wide the doors and they trailed
in.
Exhibits OF all kinds in connection
with the case were conspicuous and

that only few nights ago. a dynamite
explosion was conducted by the state
on the outskirts of the city. in much
the same way that the Times ia believ-
ed to have heen destroyed.
Many details. which hitherto would
have been considered vital. were freely
talked about but they lost Importance
In view Of the confession of guilt in
the court room today.
Gas and dynamite both played their
part. but 'dyna mite started the trouble
and caused the explosion.. This was
Attorney Darrow's explanation from
his talk with the defendants.
This completes the part of the state
