Duncans Return to Europe

They founded a weaving institute
for destitute women and also spent
much time in Chinatown in San Fran
cisco learning things about Chinese
potteries.
Mr.. Duncan said they were going to
Paris to keep some lecture dates, and
that they would return to this country
to settle up their affairs. After that,
he said with firmness but sadness,
never again for America. Mr. Dun
can holds that Americans do not re-
gard art seriously enough. He has
been of that opinion ever since the
Gerry society arrested him here a
year ago for not putting enough warm
clothes on Menalkas.
The Duncan family has attracted
more or less attention in New York
and in some western cities the last
year or two, where they have ap-
peared as advocates and demonstra-

THE M'NAMARAS
PLEAD GUILTY
Admit Blowing Up Los Angeles
Times and Iron Works.
CLIMAX IN GREAT TRIAL
Clarence Darrow, Chief Counsel For
Defendants, Comedies That De-
tective Burns Net Had No
Loopholes.

Los Angeles, Cal.-James B. Nc
Namara pleaded guilty to murder in
the first degree in Judge Walter Bord-
wells Court Friday. His brother,
John ]. Mcnamara, secretary of the
international Association of Bridge
and Structural Iron Workers, entered
a plea of guilty to having dynamited
the Llewellyn Iron Works in Los
Angeles on Christmas Day, 1910.
James B. McNamara's confession
clears up absolutely the tragedy of
the explosion and fire which, at 1.07
o'clock on the morning of October l.,
1910, wrecked the plant of the Los
Angeles Times, at First street and
Broadway, and caused the death of 21
persons.
For 10 of these deaths the Nc
Namara brothers were indicted and
j. B. Mcnamara was on trial specially
for the murder of Charles j. Hag-
gerty, machinist, whose body was
found nearer than that of any other
to the spot where the dynamite was
supposed to have been placed.
Both mems sentences were set for
Dcember 5, when it is expected that
District Attorney John D. Fredericks
will ask for life Imprisonment for
James B. Mcnamara, the confessed
murderer, and probably IA years for
his brother.
The mems lives are considered
saved

After the pleas of guilty had been
received the prisoners were taken
back to Jail, Judge Walter Bordweil
retired to his chambers, and opposing
counsel went to their rooms.
The McNamaras have pleaded
guilty because they are guilty." was

crisp comment.

we would not have done it." said At
