inquiring into the alleged dynamiting

til Tuesday. 1t was said to be certain
that by that time James B. and Jonn
J. Mcnamara will have begun their
San Quentin state prison sentences
of life Imprisonment and fifteen years,
respectively, for the crimes to which
they confessed week ago. Their
emphatic declaration that they would
not divuige what they knew about the
alleged conspiracy is said to have re-
suited in plan to take the McNa-
maras to prison today or tomorrow.
Scores of witnesses appeared in town
today In response to summonses, of
which there were 128 issued during
the last few days. It is known that
most of the San Francisco labor lead
ers will be asked to appear before the
