 Los Angeles, Nov. Sunless the alleged evidence secured in the raid on the offices of the Iron Workers Union, at Indianapolis, the case here against the McNamara brothers will be greatly endangered. It leaked out, today, that, during the past 48 hours many telegrams have been sent by District Attorney Freder1cks to his representatives in Indianapolis, urging them to do everything possible to get this evidence. This is due to the fact that there are now in the jurybox here eight men who declare they can- not convict on circumstantial evidence alone.
 tie McManigaI on the stand and de- clared his testimony would be direct although McManigal admits his knowledge of James B. McNamara's movements is entirely hearsay. There fore, it, is certain that this part of McManigaPs alleged confession cannot be admitted.
 In order to support it, F'redericks is understood to have discovered he must have the bankbooks from Indianapolis.
 Attorney Darrow expects this evid- ence will be brought here and used against his client and is preparing for it. He insisted, today, that even if it comes much of it cannot be used unless Detective Burns personally takes the stand. If he does, Darrow anticipates a lively time with the famous detective.
 When court reconvened, today, 10 men were in the box passed for cause. Another Byron Lusk, an aged man ufacturer, had been passed by the defense and was being questioned by the state. There are only two men left of the third panel, so Judge Bord-
 
 morning, to report as soon as serv- ed.
 With the jurybox practically filled, both sides have about agreed upon who shall fall by peremptory chal- | lenges. It is almost certain not more than two men will survive. They are T. F. Green. capitalist and rancher, I progressive Republican and z. B.. | Manning, a bachelor farmer, 62 years | old, who is, an old school Democrat without any opinion whatever on la | bor union ethics. His health, however, | is bad and possibly he will be elimin- ! ated on a doctors certificate before | the trial actually commences. | So far, there are four men 1n the box the state will have to challenge. | These men are Sam F. Menaenhaii, |, | wealthy farmer, who bitterly opposed | Fredericks; Frank Frakes, farmer, and l Robert Bain, retired carpenter, and | Grand Army man. who are inclined ! to favor unions and F. B. McNeely retired tailor who organized the first I taiIors' union in the city and man. | aged it's big strike here but insisted l he had no opinion in the McNamara case. The defense will also likely challenge A. c. Winter, butcher strikebreaker and admitted foe of la
 bor unions; George w. Johnson, who
 says all union men are "tramps and bums,s, Walter M. Frampton, wealthy farmer, who says McNamara undoubt- edly is guilty but would acquit him Il Fl proven innocent and George M. Nc Kee. who is satisfied that dynamite
 destroyed the Times building. but has no actual opinion of McNamara'' | guilt.
