Attempting To
CoerCe Attorney
Attorneys for Iefence Ready
tc 60 to Jail Da1row
Defies Judge

1t is believed the district attorney
and Burns outfit will continue its acts
in harasslng the defense by use OF the
grand jury.
The contempt action grew out Of
Harrington's Interview with one u. n.
Ingersoll of San Francisco The in
terview in the lobby Of the Fairmount
hotel OF San Francisco and at no time
was Harrington alone with Ingersoll
The later is the husband of Mrs Lena
Ingersoll who is q witness for the pro
secution and has a part to pay In ths
coming trial. She is said to be willing
to identify j, b. Mcnamara as Bryce"
1t is known the woman utterly failed
to identify the prisoner when she first
came to see him in Los Angeles Now,
her husband says, she is receiving So.
SO a day from Detective Burns and
that she is promised a house and lot
in Los Angeles after the trial is over.
Upon the objection Of the district
attorney Judge Bordwell refused to
accept three affidavits filed in the
Harrington case. one of these affi-
davits was from Fremont Older. pub
Usher and editor of the San Francisco
Buhetin and a close friend of Hiram
Johnson. Older told how Ingersoll
had approached him with desire
to break into the Mcnamara case"
Ingcrsoll told Older that Mrs Ingersol
was living with a man named Scullin
and that both Scullin and the woman
were in the empioy OF Burns and that
they were getting a lot of money out
Of the case and that they were 10
testify in same line they had given be-
fore the grand jury
Mrs lngersoll and Sullin gave their
testimony only about ten days ago.
months after the indictments had been
returned against the Mcnamara
brothers and at a time when no gen.
uine investigation was in progress.
The defense declares that this method
OF framing up the case for the pro.
secution and harassing witnesses for
the defense.
The other affidavits were from At
torney Harrington and Darrow and
they showed concluslvely the character
OF the Ingersoll outfit and gives alight
on the man who declared Harrington
had offered him money for his SER
vices. In his affidavit Darrow de-
clares he believed from the first that
Ingersoll was in the employ ofBurns
and that he cautioned Harrington not
to be with Ingersoll unless there were
witnesses present.
The whole contempt case Is taken
here as a confirmation that no move
will be neglected to prejudice the case
IN the minds OF the people OF the
community.
Judge Bordwelf will make a draft
Of 200 prospective Jurors in a few days
anu lntn lnt tlltCls VI NnS "plh VI
the horde of Burns Operatives" will
be shown. II is known that every
prospective juror out of the 1900
drawn last January has been under
investigation by the Burns outfit.
This is in line with their declar-
alton that the Mcnamara boys must
hang.
Efforts OF the Burns men have been
redoubled since II became known that
the defense was being hampered by
lack of funds TO properly carry out
the case. Burns men have openly
declared their intention is to convict
the Mcnamara boys and break up the
structural iron workers unions.
Another move on the part of the
Otls-M &, NJ cahal came to light to-
day and confirms all that has been
said concerning the conspiracy to
make Los Angefes an open shop town
