The Arrest Of the Unions Secretary
Treasurer
When the papers arrived, they
were brought by the assistant prose
cutting attorney of Los Angeles, with
two Los Angeles police detectives and
a deputy sheriff. We went to Indian
apolis and appeared before the gov
ernor. He found the papers correct,
and necessarily he authorized the war
rant for McNamara's arrest. That
warrant was taken by the Los An
geles officer and presented by him to
the chief of police of Indianapolis,
who detailed two of his men to take
Mcnamara into custody. l accompa-

He was then taken by the indianapolis
officers before Judge Collins, who had
always heard such cases, and Judge
Collins examined the papers and
found them correct. According to the
law, he had only to determine the
Identity of the prisoner, so as to make
sure that he was the man named in
The papers. Mcnamara said: 4 don

Iective, James Hosick, who was the
agent named by the state of Califor-

transfer the prisoner to Los Angeles.

desk sergeant, had the things re-
turned to him that had been taken
when he was searched, and put him in
an auto to start him on his journey to
the Pacific Coast.
