CHARGE MADE
OF BRIBERY IN
M'NAMARA CASE

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 29.-De-
tective's of the district attorneys
Office, headed by Samuel L. Browne,
arrested three men today, charged
with attempted bribery insthe Nc
Namara case. They are Bert
Franklin, former United States dep
uty marshal, now employed by the
Mcnamara defense in looking up
antecedents of prospective McNa-
mara jurors; George Lockwood, a
venireman summoned to appear to-
day for preliminary examination,
and c. E. (Cap) White, for many
years under-sheriff and jailer of
this county.
Browne says he saw Franklin
give Lockwood $500, which was on
him when he was arrested. White
had $3500 on his person., said
Browne. Il know it was in con-
nection with the Mcnamara case. >
Clarence Darrow, chief counsel
for the defense, said he was sure
there was nothing to the charge,
bat he would investigate. Browne
indicated he expected further inn
rortant development,

BERLIN, Nov. 29.-The concilia-
tory tone of the speeches of the
British foreign secretary, Sir Ed
ward Grey, and Premier Asquith,
and their expressed desire for i'm
proved relations between Germany
and England in the future are cor
daily re-echoed in government cir
cles here.
1t is significantly added, how
ever, that the British government
soon will have an opportunity to
demonstrate the sincerity of the
disclaimer of it's ministers and the
theory that one of the aims of the
British policy is to stand in the
way of German expansion and to
block its every project
No indication is given as to the
field in which this opportunity will
occur, but the touchstone perhaps
will be found in the Bagdad rail-
way.

his art in writing checks drawn in
his favor and signed IF. H.
Baker, The checks, three in
number, were all for the same
amount, $112.50, and each bore
the same number. The mans name
was Felix e. Fleur, and he repre-
sented that he had been working
for Frank Baker, the Nina hotel
man. After calling upon f. Do
browsky, the jeweler; Morrow &
Hussey, clothiers, and W. l.. Young,
the jeweer, for couple of days in
succession, and making a. good i'm
preston on these business men, he
purchased clothing aud jewelry to
change the balance on each $112.50
check, giving each one of these
firms one of his forged checks of
|$11250 With new clothing and
iewelry galore he iourneyed to
Manhattan with the Fix members
who paid that camp visit and
while there passed one Of his
worthless checks to the amount Of
SO. He returned to Tonopah the
same night he went to Manhattan
and next morning departed for Mil
lers, where he said he was en-
ployed in the Belmont mill, but in
stead of stopping off at the Mill
City he iourneyed on to California.

hot ever since Fleur skipped out
