The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-12-02

 by Detective McClarin. who said that the promise of District Attorney Frede- ricks this afternoon was the nearest ap- proach to immunity suggested for Me Manigal.
 The latter then told the story of his dynamiting experiences with some de- tails about which there now is no fur ther necessity for secrecy on his part
 McManigal said he first began dyna- hitting June 25, 1907, in Detroit where the Russell Wheel Foundry company's s building, then in course of construction, was destroyed. He skipped from that time until year ago when he was in the Conover woods in Wisconsin with James B. McNamara, and the. latter he said, told him of having just previously dynamited the Times building
 We left the Conover woods about a year ago." said McManigal, and I went back to my home in Chicago and lay around there for a few days It was December s that l received a telegram from Indianapolis signed Frank and asking me to go to that city. Frank meant James B. McNamara, as he at times used the name of Frank. went to Indianapolis, and in John McNamara's office 1 was given instructions by John McNamara himself regarding the Llewel lyn job. He said it had been promised that Christmas present was to be sent to Los Angeles and I was to bring it.
 James B. and l went to John Us vaults on the fifth floor of the American Central building in Indianapolis, where his offices were, and took out a case specially made to carry nitroglycerine. The district attorney has that case in his possession here now.
 Well, that was December 9. We hired a rig and drove out to Beach Grove, an Indianapolis suburb, where he had the explosives cached. There were 12 quarts there and we took it all, leaving two empty cases.
 Instructions Given
 We went back to John Us office and got instructions from John to come to Los Angeles. He told me to put shots under the Lewellyn Iron works and the Baker Iron works, and to be sure to put one under the Times auxiliary plant to add few more to the list"
 T left Chicago December 12 for Los Angeles. | had 10 quarts of the dope in the special carrying case and two quarts in my suit case. I gave the case with the 10 quarts in it to the porter to take care of. I gave him a dollar for his trouble.
 Just before arriving at the depot on December 15 in Los Angeles, the train ran along by the Los Angeles river and I took special notice of the river as good place to cache the whole business. When l got here I went to the Hotel Rosslyn and got a room under the name of T. F. Mckee of Liverpool. Then went back to the river front and marked the spot so I could not possibly fail to find it when l wanted it.
 T was told how to get to the i Iro rrc 1s- To Namara. He said to go to the part of the city where the. streets bore names instead of numerals, so l located it all right. It took me a few days, though, to find the Baker Iron works
 Then I looked about for the Times auxiliary plant. J. B. told me to buy q copy of the Times and look on the editorial page and I would find the ad- dress. l did so, but I found only the editorial offices on Spring street. where the paper had moved after it's building at First and Broadway had been blown up.
 Finds Times Plant
 q finally found the auxiliary plant They were setting up a new press there at the time. l had long talk with the watchman. look ed the place over and decided it was too well guarded to do anything there. About T:30 the nlSnt or DeceInDeTr Ef l placed Inc whole 12 quarts of dope at the Llew- ellyn Iron works, timing it to explode at o'clock.
 About 9 o'clock that night I took Southern Pacific Valley train north to San Francisco, where ] remained q few days and arrived back in Chi cago New Years day.
 At this point in McManigal's story Detectives McClarin and Barry, who 1 efn 1,i as the crimes committed in Los An geles were few compared to the whole number charged against the McNamara brothers and of which McManigal was said to have knowledge, it would not do for him to talk too much. Confession Stopped
 The confessed dynamiter, however. was asked about his confession in which he told of having been instructed to see "the big chief" and a man named Clancy" in San Francisco be- l fore coming to Los Angeles on the Llewellyn job, but the detectives in- structed him to mention no person by l that name, That statement, however was made a part of the court proceed | ings when his wife, Mrs. Emma Mo Manigal, was witness iefore the grand jury here last summer i q haven't seen my wife since she left here,' said McManigal, bitterly. l "Darrow promised her lifes living 1 if she would desert me and she too < him up. I suppose she'll soon be sell l ng McNamara buttons again, They ought to be in big demand in the next | few days. l have scratched my uncle George Behm, off the map too. Ali | I want to have is my children but don't suppose l can have them if l have to go to pris Jn.'
 1 McClarin declared that Mrs. McMan ! igal y as fully cognlzant of all her hus- INard's dyr aniting crimes despite her statements to the con ntrary. The detec- | tive said that it was Mrs. McManigal | who cut from the newspapers accounts of all the explosions caused by her hustand and ke-A,them for him to show
