wnliam J. Burns. the detective who
worked up the Mcnamara dynarniting
case, reached New York from Philndci-
phia over tho Pennsylvania Railroad
this afternoon. lie went to the Herald
Square Hotel. where. In room 2o1. he re-
ceivcd representatives of the nswspA-
pcrs. TO whom he gave an extended
statement.
Mr.. Burns wal In cheerful mood. lie
wore a checked suit Of clothes. . black
o%vercoat n q brown derby.
"Gompers has condemned himself be-
fore the American people," said Mr..
Burns. Ills recent attitude 10 an insult
to the intelligence OF the public. Every
body understands that Gompers had
knowledge Of the guilt of the NcNa-
maras before they confessed. II Com
pers had a leg to stand on he would
mako a speech that would reach from
hero to Washington. Now. all he will
say is contained in q few short SON
tenccs or the statement that he will
not discuss It at all.
Nor does Gompers deny the charge
that after the arrest OF J. J. Mcnamara
he wont TO Indiana polls with the very
people who appropriated the money for
dynamiting. Is II not natural TO be-
lieve that Gompers asked these men
how much OF n case there was against
tho McNamaras n how strong was
the case against J. j. McNamara, and
that he was told the full particulars?'
A. Mr.. Burns spoke he walked I'd and
down the room and showed BY his ner-
vousness the strength OF his emotion.
