THE MCNAMARA SENTENCES
The Salt Lake Tribune comment

The Salt Lake Tribune comments
on the Mcnamara sentences in the
following:
yesterday. in Los Angeles, Judge
Bordwell passed sentence on the
Mcnamara brothers pursuant to the
time act for this duty. The Judge
dealt with the cases impartially
strongly and iudicially He swept
aside az OF no consideration what
ever the contention of James b.
Mcnamara that he did not Intend TO
kiln anybody when he blew up the
Times office The Judge said upon
this point that the cireumstan-
css were against the accused; q
man who VIII place sixteen sticks
Of dynamite in place whers You,
as printer, knew gas was burning
IN many places and knew many
were toiltng. must have had no regard
Tor life. must have been q murderer
az heart. and undeserying OF elem.
sncy," There is no evading of the
force and inevitable logic OF this
conclusion. The Judge proceeded to
sentence James B. Mcnamara to
lie imprisonment. explaining that
the reason therefor was because the
confession had saved the state large
sums OF money. and had set at rest
contention positively and abso.
iately that might have afford.
cd opportunity for differences Of
opinion.
The court sentenced John j. Nc
Nsmara to fifteen years In the state
prison for blowing up the Llewellyn
Iron Works in Los Angeles, reIterat-
Ing in his case also that there is
no soundness in the plea Of nonin.
tent and that there are no extenu-
ating circumstances.
Thus Justice is doae In this great
case OF world wide interest and tile
court has proceeded in way worthy
Of the best traditions Of American
jurisprudence"
