 Are Resigned to Their Fate. 1 In Jail tonight the ATcNamaras read news paper accounts of their sentences 1 and John J. McNanara, speaking for l both, said:
 we are satisfied. We are resigned ! to cur fate. We are ready to start our 1 sentences at once We are ready to | start for San Quentin on fifteen min utes' notice We wish to express our appreciation of Sherif HammePs treat ment of us here, and likewise all the l jailers, and hope we will get as hu- mare treatment in the state prison" Statement of Lawyer Darrow. Nothing but the gallows. at the end,' is the outcome predicted tonight by Attorney Clarence s. Darrow, as chief of counsel for the defence. if the. trial had run to verdict and to sub sequent appeals. For the first time MT. Darrow cited specific instances of evidence which he said would have been impossible to refute- Even to have put James B. McNamara on the stand in his own behalf would have been hopeless, he declared.
 
 that it was proposed by the defense that James B. McNamara should plead guilty and even take a death sen tence if his brother could be free"
 We'll replied Darrow. 'T have de- nied that charge so often that I'm not going to do it again now"
 Entered Case Reluctantly.
 MT Darrow's statement follows:
 T entered this case with the great est reluctance, and only after the most earnest persuasion. I did 1t unselfish- ly. I have been here six months and have spent many troubled days and sleeplesS nights trying to run down every clue and make every possible investigation and trying to do the best could for my clients and the cause that I served. I had able associates who gave me their best efforts and their best service through 1t all.
 No Chance to Win From First.
 From the first, there was never the slightest chance to win. To those who say it would have been better to have gone to trial and suffer com pfete defeat, l would call attention to the fact that there were thirty or forty hotel registers, three in Los An others in different parts of the country | to be used against us- There were | scores of witnesses to identify James | B. McNamara as being present prac- |
 
 least, in the building. There was | overwhelming evidence of all kinds. | which no one could have surmounted | If he would.
 Could Not Prove an AIibi.
 If the state had put on it's case we could not even have put the de- .endant on the stand to deny those acts We could not prove an aIibi We could not prove he was not here. I The failure to do would have been IS much of an admission as 1t was F oday- We were confronted with the l of dragging our case, per ] laps for years, with nothing but the sallows at the end, and no chance to 1 'aise any doubt in thinking mind, 1 ma 1n the meantime collecting mon y from thousands of persons who | 'ould not know the facts. To 20 on lnder such circumstances would have 'een madness, and would only have l postponed an evil until it would have 'een 8 still greater evil and the con equences graver than they are now
 All of this was thoroughly under tood by my associates. and no one esitated about accepting it. We act d as we thought right and best and l 7ln take the consequences of the act. | can conceive Of no way in which we 1 , ould justify ourselves and not save he lives of our clients. Our first drtv . s lawyers and men was to the lives | Il our Cnarge ana our duty to the ause called for the same action.
 If people misjudge my motive I an only say for myself that I have cted un5elnshly and from devotion all : long. l have the consciousness that |. have done everything I could do and pr all in this worldwide conflict
