Said to Be Responsible for
Mcnamara Confession.
FAVORED A COMPROMISE

Feared Prolonged Warfare Would Be
Dangerous to the city's Prosperity
and Opened Negotiations Leading to
the Pleas of Guilty-Heaith of the
Younger Mcnamara Said to Have
Been a Factor in the Case.
Los Angeles, CAL, Dec. 4.-Startling
"a was the sudden confession of guilt
on the part of John j. Mcnamara,
secretary and treasurer of the lnterna-
tional Association OF Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers, and his
brother, James b., the one OF causing
the Llewellyn iron works explosion
and the other the Los Angeles Times
disaster, that cost twenty-one lives,

clennency Their Reward.
The idea that a group of business
men had put their heads together and
determined that to prolong the Nc
Namara fight might mean intermina-
bile warfare with ramifications danger
Gus to the city's welfare is one which
won wide credence because prominent
people were secretly acquainted with
the fact that a concerted movement
was on foot to bring about compro-
mise. The clemency to be shown the
guilty men is to be the reward for
their willingness to yield.
Clarence s. Darrow. chief counsel
for the McNamaras, reiterated that
the compromise was best for all con-
cerned-namely, James b. to get life
IMPRISONMENT instead Of the death
penalty. and John J. a brief prison
sentence, while for the accusing side
came the victory of the case.
1t was the sequence with which
things happened that drew forth most
curiosity. How long did counsel fol
the defense know of the guilt of the
defendants? When was the compro
mise first broached and what of the
bribery charges that were made in the
midst OF the negotiations for settle
ment of the trial?

WOULDN'T STAND FOR
PETTY GRAFT; FIRED

Because Hugo V. Kelly, game

the rules OF their political game.
County Commissioners Rutherford

alone, stood by him.
And John Hogan was appointed
by the same two commissioners as
Kcily's successor.
This was done In spite of the fact
that the records of Judge Browns
court show that Hogan. while a
deputy game warden under Kelly.
pleaded guilty to a charge OF petty
larceny sworn TO by George Piles
on May 6. last. Hogan was accus-
ed OF taking Piles fishing outfit
when he caught him fishing on the
Cedar river.
Blocked In First Scheme.
Hogan was the choice OF few
sportsmen who did not like the
way Kelly enforced the game and
fish laws. These "sportsmen" were
used to the free and easy manner

regime of former Game Warden

commissioners 10 reappoint Ref.

much judgment in their first
recommendation. They sent an
other petition. this time asking for
the appointment Of John Hogan.
Their petition read that Kelly
is not popular with the sportsmen
of the county" And that was the
ground on which they succeeded in
having Kelly removed.
Opposed Crooked Politics
But there are other political
reasons why Kelly was not wanted
by the utherford-Hamilton clique.
He refused to stand for the old
system OF putting in levy of IS 600
for the game warden's office. when
as a matter of fact that money was
diverted year In and year out to
other channels. The game war

tor this year again was about to
put In a levy OF $4,000 for Kelly's
office. he protested so strenuously
that for once Il was left out.
This $4,000 Is charged up TO the
game warden's office. and yet not q
cent of IL is spent there said
Kelly Kelly also charges that
levies are also made for other
offices that are self-sustaining. And
this got under the hide of Commits
