of the Mcnamara brothers as John
Joseph Mcnamara and James Bar
nabas Mcnamara, but Prosecutor
Ford made vigorous protest showing
that he will later try to prove Jim
McNamara's name is James Bryce.
This the defense will readily disprove.
Sheriff William Hammel is giving
his personal attention to the case,
but McLaren, the Burns bloodhound
slips around issuing his orders to
prosecutors and sheriff. Burns still
occupies the leading position in the
case and his operatives are doubling
their efforts to keep the professional
confessor, Ortie McManigal up to the
mark. Mechanical is coddled, numor-
ed and petted by the Burns men.
He goes unshackled on his daily walk
on the street, smokes his good cigar
and enjoys the sunshine.
In taking the Mcnamara boys to
and from the jails the sheriff heavily
manacles them.
On the first day Of the trial only,
did John J. get breath of fresh air
and a look at the greenlaWns and
trees on the court house grounds
while he enjoyed a moment In the
sunshine. Now John sits alone in his
cell during the long hours Jim IS
in the court room.
Without the slightest hesitation
Judge Bordwell ruled that he was a
proper person to try the case and
he overruled a motion for a change
of venue. This apparently disposes
Of tho and the
filing of affidavits may be looked on
as move on the part of the defense
to esta blish records.
When the time came for the actual
| beginning of the trial the indictment
| against John J. and James B. NC
Namara, charging them with the
! murder of Charles Haggerty, was read
and the trial had begun.
Clarence Darrow elected to try the
| men separately and the district attor-
| ney disclosed his falsehood by select
| ing James Mcnamara for the victim.
| He had declared John would be tried
! first but he did not deceive the de-
Tense and all preparations were made
! to defend James B. Mcnamara. The
defense we'll know that the case
against John is of an extremely f1imsy
character and that there was no
chance of his trial until after the trial
! Of James B. is ended. The entire
"frameup'' so far as the Los Angeles
end is concerned is against James b.
The steel trusts case against John
j. Mcnamara is not considered here
| at this time and it is not even spec

"evidence'' they have will be admitted
if John j., is ever placed on trial.
Of course the shadow of John j
will at all times be in the background
for it is against him that capitalism
conspiracy is aimed.
The fact that jurors who shall be
finally chosen to serve will be Vlr-
tually prisoners for several months
will make it difficult to get a jury
Professional jurors by the score are
on the venire and they will be on
other venires that follow. Eleven
men were held the first three days
of the trial but several of them had
expressed opinions on the case and
not a single juror came out of the
first crowd that were subpOenaed.

before he reached California he was
met with the news that that state had
adopted the recall of all state off.

was a cruel slap at the president who
has been making speeches in favor
of the judiciary.
In addition to the recall the So

excellent amendments to the con

all the powers of labor hating capital
