HOLIDAY IN MCNAMARA TRIAL.
Veniremen Get Out of Doors-Both
Sides Prepare Evidence.


Los Angeles, Oct. 21.-Some thirty
veniremen rejoiced today at being at
liberty out of doors instead of locked
up under the care of bailiffs in the
Mcnamara murder case. Agreement
of opposing counsel to proceed in ex-
amining talesmen without full jury
box enabled Judge Walter Bordwell
to excuse all veniremen not already in
the box until the opening of the
court Monday morning, and only the
six talesmen left at the conclusion of
the court yesterday were under re-
straint today. There was no session
of court today.
The work of whipping into shape
great masses of evidence under prep
aration by each side, was continued
today. Assistant District Attorney
Ford had been absent from the court
room for two days, working steadily
on the states evidence. The defense
has devoted week-ends to the same
task and much other time outside of
court.
A problem by both sides lies in the
summoning of witnesses. While many
of these live in California and are
subject to subpoena, probably more
live outside the borders of the state
and so far as the law concerns itself
with them, may come or stay at home
as they please. Instances have been
found where persons willing to testify
some time ago will not do so now.
Each side, however, asserts that no
real difficulty has been encountered
in this direction and that it will have
all the witnesses it needs.
Only the barest outlines Of the posi-
tions to be taken by opposing counsel
have been made known officially.
Each side claims possession of vari.
Gus surprises, and in some instances
the same evidence will be used by
the state and by the defense in an
effort to demonstrate the different
theories.
At the afternoon session of court
yesterday Judge Bordwell excused
Talesmen Shower and Adams, who
were challenged for cause by the de-
fense and the state respectively.
Shower had said he believed James
B. Mcnamara guilty of blowing up
the Los Angeles Times and that he
believed the statement over the sig
nature of Ortie E. McManigal to this
effect.
Talesman Adams. whose views on
socialism were made the subject of
interrogation, was challenged by The
state because Of alleged bias after he
had said he was opposed to inflic-
tion of the death penalty on circum.
stantial evidence.
Salt Lake City, Oct. al. f. Mum
sey, business agent here of the Inter-
national Association of Bridge and
Iron workers, denied that he had been
requested to testify in the trial of
James b. Mcnamara.
According to adyices from Los An
geles, the prosecution declares Mrs.
after 4 quarrel with her hus-
band, made a signed statement to Dep.
uty Sheriff Helton, now in Los An
geles, that Mcnamara, under the name
of j. b. Bryce, was hidden in the Mum
sey home for two weeks in October,
1910, and that he told how the Times
building was destroyed 1t is said that
later Mrs. Munsey was reconciled to
her husband and refused to testify in
Los Angeles.
