any change would be effected in the
 local situation by the resolution adopt
 ed throughout the east demanding the
 extreme penalty for James B. McNa-
 mara. This matter, under the law, is
 now in the hands of Judge Walter
 Rordwell, who presided over the trial during the eight weeks of its arduous existence The judge will hear the dis l trict attorney if he desires to make any recommendations as to the penalty to | be imposed. Fredericks today declared
 he had not decided whether to ask for Iclemency. but he added: When man pleads guilty. as he did. particularly 1 in this case, it saves the state great sum of money and an enormous amount of work. The state always is willing to take into consideration this feature. and is inclined to look with leniency upon the offender"
 While Judge Bordwel refused to close to him say he is pleased with the
 way the trial terminated. Friends of Darrow say he is on the verge of phy-
 sical breakdown. In the last few nights
 he tossed restlessly and has slept and
 eaten little. His face today was white
 and haggard. He admitted today that
 never before in his life had he en- countered so terrific strain as the one in which he is at present envel-
 oped. He declared the suspense in connection with the Heywood and Mover trials at Boise was nothing com pared with the ordeal of the last fort
 nso h.. ton of the McNamaras will be taken generally. He is optimistic about his health. declaring he had faith in his strong constitution. He is confident he has done his best for the McNa- maraS. Darrow received in bitter sl- ! ence various attacks which are as- sCmed to be aimed at him in comments ! by labor leaders They will know in i time" he said, T never told Gompers 1 or anyone else J. R. McNamara was in- nCcent. I always believed J. J. Me | Namara had nothing to do with the Times disaster"
 T learned of J. J. McnamaraS con- i nection with the Llewellyn disaster however What information came to Gompers about the guilt or innocence Dr of McNamaras probably came from the accused men themselves Darrow declared he originally did not want to defend the McNamaras, but had been persuaded to do so by labor leaders. Even learning of their guilt later he asserted he felt right in saving human
 life That Darrow does not believe
 m capital punishment has long been | fri.n N-hathar n l attorney should defend man whom 'c knows to be guilty is moot ques-
 ion. Darrow's view is that human fife should be spared wherever pos iible and with this idea in mind. he undertook the McNamara defense. Yes erday's developments. he feels, were therefore successful in that respect. The most difficult of all attacks to ,ear apparently. was that which in olved the McNamara defend funl Jarrow confirmed the fact that the l90. .OO0. raised for the two brothers. L. as been at his disposal. Confronted ,ith the statement that labor leaders , xpected that much of this would be he said he couldn't see how could be done Money flies fast cry fast" he mused In a case like his it has wings. The course of the rial to date has not cost much but for handling witnesses and has exhausted much of the unds. The greater part is already bent An accounting will be rendered h every detail We have oeen up gainst it for funds right along. I ave been wondering for some time . ow we could ever get very far with ne means at out disposal.
 The McNamara brothers spent the ay quietly They wrote many letters nd walked about the corridors for r r They read newspaper ac- ounts and according to the jailors. !, iaintained a cheerful appearance.
