TO RESPOND TO
QUESTIONS
JUDGE. PoRDwELL IN LOS AN
GELES SAYS M'NAMARA'S
LAWYER MUST ANSWER.

Los Angeles, Sept. 25.-John II. Har-
rington of counsel for the Mcnamara
defense, charged with contempt of
court for having refused to answer
questions asked him before the grand
jury, was ordered today by Judge
Bordwell to respond to the questions.
AS a result of the ruling. Lecompte
Davis, one Of the Mcnamara attor-
neys, declared 1t was probable that the
defense would ask for change of
judges at the main trial. The asso-
ciates of Harrington, who was cited
for contempt for refusing to respond
to queries regarding his alleged at
tempt to influence Mrs. Lena Inger-
soil of San Francisco. a witness for
the state, said that they did not know
whether he would appear before the
grand jury next Monday, the time
agreed upon, or would elect to go to
Jail and institute habeas corpus pro-
ceedings.
Stormy Session.
Judge Bordwells ruling came only
after a stormy session In court In
which LeCompte Davis and Joseph
Scott, attorneys for the McNamaras.
were ordered to sit down, and w. j.
Ford. assistant district attorney. was
commanded to cease arguing. Judge
Bordwell said that after an examina-
tion of the records he had concluded
that Harrington's answer to the con-
tempt charge contained no deniel of
the facts as stated in the affidavit of
Charles Weir. foreman of the grand
jury, regarding the attorneys refusal
to answer.
When the, Judge reached that part
OF his ruling. Attorney Scott rose and
said he desired to file an amended an

He said the new document would deal
with the contention of himself and his
associates that the main issre In the
proceedings against Harrington was
whether the grand jury and the dis
trict attorney were acting In good faith
or were instituting proceeding mere
ly to annoy the defense.
Judge Bordwell said he did not think
