been guilty of the conspiracy to blow
up the Times and to have formed the
"conspira cy ring" as u member of the
prosecuted here phTased il, which blew
up buildings at Oakland, Seattle and
other cities on the Pacific coast.
1t is considered possible that both
the federal government, inquiring into
the interstate conspirac!es, may cover
the ground that will bring results
when deslrc4 by the authorities here
and that the state and federal govern
nlents will reciprocate in the handling
and gathering of evidence.
From Critic Mechanical the state has
obtained possession OF such informs

Attorney Joseph Scot Of the McNam-
ara defense that District Attorney
Frcdericks did not demand full con
fosison whom the arrangement was
made for them to plead guilty.
Attorney Scott has been with the
prisoners most OF the time since they
made their confessions
The McNamaras are bearing their
burden braVeiE." said Mr.. Scott today.
They have = soldiers spirit and are
ready TO take their medicine whatever
it be. They feel that q load has been
lifted from their minds. One Of the
first things they did was to telegraph
a friend in Indianapolis to go to Gin
cinnati to comfort their mother, whom
they read had broken down.
HOW THEIR LIKE ATTACKS.
What do the McNamaras say about
tho attacks made upon them by labor
leaders ~ Scott was asked.
We'll. they hive not said anytNng
for publication as yet and they don't
. have to make any more confessions
just yet. but John j.. | think. will
make a statement some time soon, eX-
pressing his views ard telling us what
/ he sought to accomplish. He had Ger
tain ideas on how to make his fight in
the world and he was honestly con-
WINGED that they We're the best"
What sentence do YOU think John
J. will get??''
About fourteen years, / think, but
that's up to the court
Are the McNamaras worrying about
their SentenceS?''
NO, they are ready TO take what
they get. They are worrying only
about us fellows, the attorneys. They
think their concessions has hurt Job
Hartman, who is running for mayor
and myself, as candidate for tho board
of education"
The effect of the Mcnamara confess
sion on the political situation is
matter of general discussion here. Job
Hartman, the Socialist candidate for
mayor, has stated that as an associate
counsel for the McNamaras he knew
nothing Of their guilt and was not con-
suited in connection with their con-
fcssion.
District Attorney F'redericl himself
| issued Il statement in connection with
Mr.. SCOTS candidacy for the board OF
education.
Il know of no reason why anyone
intending to vote for John Scott should
! refuse 10 do SO now because of his
connection with the Mcnamara case
said Fredericks in d signed statement.
When we get through here" de-
clared Assistant District Attorney w.
Joseph Ford today. and when tie fed
eral government finishes its investiga-
| ton, people Will realize how inadequate
are our laws covering the bringing to
trial of people who commit crime in
one state and flee to another, or who
live in one state and direct the COM
mission of crimes in other states
1t was Mr.. Ford who went to In
dianapOlis to represent the California
authorities in arresting John J. Nc
Nalnara and he declared that he

dited. the incident illustrating how.
unless prompt action on the part Of
one state was taken. guilty parties

BEAR NO MALICE.
And as to the labor unions he
continued, I'VE of the prosecution bear
no malice toward them. We tried to
show in court that we were prosecut-
| ing individuals and not any particular
| class. The confessions, however. and
things that will follow, certainly ought
to show tho laboring men that they
should be more careful in the selection
OF their leaders. They also soon
| should keep better watch on the ac-
| tivities of the leaders. Lahoring men
| have the right to organize and that
| phase Of the QUESTION should not be at
! all injured by developments here"
