An unpublished portion Of Ortie NC
. Manigal's confession was made public
TODAY. He said the McNamaras made
this t, Eat after they had blown up
the Los Angeles Times building:
IF another dose of dynamite doesn't
unionize Los Angeles We'll blow up
the waterworks and explode enough
mines to burn the city! We can give
them till their proposed Panama ex-
position in 1915, and if they haven't
mended their ways by then We'll make
that place an example the world will
always remember.
When the Mcnamara brothers are
arraigned before Judge Bordweli to-
morrow they will be given an oppor-
tunity to make full statement before
sentence is pronounced. The authors

Detective Burns's statement. in Wn,ch
he charges that President Gompers
knew the McNamaras were guilty. fol-
lows:
Mr. Gompers knew all the time that
the McNamaras were guilty When Mr..
Gompers says he was surprised ana
that the McNAmaras had deceived him
In declaring their innocence, he tells
what is not true. He knew they were
guilty. and has known 1t all along. He
knew it at the time he and the heads
OF the international unions conferred
in Indianapolis on the question of rails
ing funds for the defense of the pris-
oners. Some of the other union men
knew of their guilt, too.
Clarence Darrow told the labor men
at that meeting in indianapolis that he
did not believe I framed up the case.
mo clemency should be shown by
the court to the McNamaras unless
they come through with all they know
about the dynamiting outrages. They
pleaded guilty because they were guilty
and they knew they would be con-
victed They changed their mind about
making fight because they reached
the conclusion that they might get off
eisier by pleading guilty But I don't
see just why they should.
"There Are Others"
Here is the proposition AS l have
said all along, we had overwhelming
evidence against them, but we were
III no way indebted to them for what
we had. They handed out no favors
to the prosecution.
"On the other hand, they started
great fight, and large defense fund
was raised to try to get them free from
the charges which they vehemently de-
MED We worked up our case and had
II complete, with every loophole COW
cred. When they and their attorneys
came to consider this they saw that
the Jig was up. Then came the scram
BILE to save themselves.
Now, it is not my place to suggest
to the court what it should do when
the fate of the McNamaras is solely in
his hands, but it does seem to me that
the proposed clemency would be incon-
sistent unless something besides a
mere plea of guilty were given to war
rant it. When a man gets clemency
for turning States evience it is given
because he helps the State convict
others.
by pleading guilty to the crimes
charged against them, are the Nc
Namaras hoping to convict others?
Not a bit of it, and it is pretty well
understood by this time that there are
Others"
