Trial Of Mcnamara
Case Opened Today

they went plunging to death, Will
hundreds Of spectators groaned and
watched the doomed men. They
were powerless to help.
The prosecution viii try e prove
that John Mcnamara engineered and
instigated, and James Mcnamara ac-
tually caused the Times disaster It's

tie McManigal who is alleged to have
confessed that he had done hundreds

receiving $500 for each. and that he
knew OF the plans to destroy the
Times.
All this evidence the defense will
combat With testimony TO show that
there never was dynamite explos-
ion; that leaking gas caused the
wreckage: that the accused men are
innocent. the victims Of a gigantic
plot which has for. its object the
branding OF organized labor leaders
as murderers and dynamiters.
Every effort has been made to fur
ther this idea from the time that the
Times" owned by Harrison Gray
Otis, a bitter and vlndictive enemy Of
organized labor, charged that dyna-
mite bombs planted BY labor had de-
stroyed bis newspaper plant, until the

Los Angeles, Cal. Oct 1.-THE
trial Of Jas. 3. McNamara, charged
in indictments with the Murder Of
the p persons Mho lost their lives
when the Lost Angeles Times
bvading was destroyed by an ex-
pLosion one year ago. opened here
today in a special court room IN the
hall Of justice before Superior Judge
Walter Bordwell. Following his
trial john J. acsssainara. seefe
tary Of the Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers Of America. will face a iurp
on the same charge. Il being alleged
that he paid for aud instigated the
blowing up of the Times.
when Judge Bordwel took his seal
on the bench the small room was
packed almost to suffocatiop. There
were dozens OF reporters. special
writer's. artists and photographers
present, besides the imposing array
OF legal talent for both sides Repre-.
senting the defense were Clarence
Darrow. chief counsel. assisted BY Le-
compt Davis. Jos. Scott, Job Harri-
man, Cyrus McNutt and j. J. Har-
ringtou. For the state were: Dist.
Atty. John ID. Fredericks. in charge
OF the prosecution and his assistants,
W. J. Ford. C. Rap Horton and Ar
thur yeitch.
Long before the time for the trial
to start a huge crowd assembled in
front Of the hall OF Justice, everyone
hoping for a seat or at least a
glimpse Of the accused. Few sue
ceeded in getting inside the court, as
there was but room for only a dozen
or more. after places had been taken
by the lawyers. newspaper represen.
tatiyes and court attaches.
When the court convened the ae-
cused, James b. MoNamara, was led
in by Sheriff VIM. Hammel aud Un-
der Sheriff Brain, Mcnamara gave
no indication OF nervousness. He
bore the looks Of the crowd unfllnch-
ingly and calmly took his seat beside
his attorneys. The paleness OF his
face was the only indication that he
had passed the last six months in
prison.

FALL OF FORT DUaUEsNE. !.
By Rev. Thomas B. Gregory. !,
: : :: :. :, :. = :. :. :. :. :. :. :. :. :. !;
NNE hundred and fifty-three years
ago-November 25, 175s-the
French, hard pressed by the Eng
ush, abandoned Fort DuQuesne NOV
the city Of Pittsburgh, and thereby viz
tualy threw up the sponge" so far as
the great game between themselves and
England was concerned
Three years before (1755) the Eng
llsh, in their attempt at the capture Of
the fort had met with the appalling
disaster known in history as Brad
( docks defeat" an affair in which out
OF a total force Of 1873 all but 459 were
which makes that Of the Light Bri-
gade" at Balaclava look like chiId's
play Braddock himself was killed, and
all but % Of his Sc officers.
And now. three years after the Brad
dock slaughter, the prize is given up
without struggle and the French have
lost their strongest strategic point.
This advance Of the English frontier,
remarks Fiske. was an advance against
the center Of the whole French position.
In those days, as at present. there were
two, great routes, whether for military
purposes or for trade. between the At
4dAAA4C HtdbOdIu anu the 40lSslS6lDDl Fal-
ley. One of these was from Albany to
the Mas CARA river, and thence westward
either to the north Or &c the south o.
Lake Erie. The Other was from PhiIa-
delphia or Baltimore to Pittsburg, and
thence down the Ohio river
1t followed, therefore, that If the
English could firmly hold both the Nj
agara river and the junction between
the Allegheny and the Monongahela.
where Pittsburg now stands, it would
be in their power to strike at the cen
ter Of the long exterior line held by the
French ard forever cut Louisiana asun-
der from Canada.
Important therefore, as Pittsburg Is
today in the Industrial estimate of the
North American continent its political
Importance $50 years ago was Of even
greater significance. With their feet
firmly planted at the Gateway to the
west" our fOrefathers were able TO
strike out both ways against their
competitors for supremacy on the con-
tinent and to command, as it were, the
whole line Of contest from the st. Law
renee to the gulf.
1t was q gOdsend, then, when the men
OF the English race found themselves
IN possession of the all-impOrtant post
at the forks Of the Allegheny and the
Monongahela, for It logically led up to
Wolfes victory at Quebec, which made
England the master Of the North Amer
lean continent
