Guilt Thought He Would
Beat Others to It."

For more han an hour McManigal
chatted with callers. He said he had
not expected the McNamaras would
admit their guilt 80 soon. He also de-
clared that Job b. Hartman. formerly
"a defense attorney n leader OF the
socialist ticket in the recent election.
knew the McNamaras were guilty.
This confession was something I
didn't expect, at least not at this time.'
said McManigal. II always knew that
J. j. would come through sooner or
later. I figured that when ne found
out how cut and dried the case against
his brother Jim was. he would plead
guilty to save Jim's life, but I thought
that would come after he had heard
the evidence. or enough OF 1t. Why.
II y: J. u ever seen what Burns
showed me in a little back room in
south Chicago. just after they pinched
| me. he'd have confessed right where he
stood. Well, his confession makes the
nrst sensation, but there's another and
a bigger one coming. j.. ]. isn't the top

they are going to get some others. Jim
was my immediate boss, of course. but
j. j. was the works. Jim and l Travelled
round together, and Jim used to stop
ct my house. He made the first test
OF his clOckwork device on the front
door bell of our house, and after that
he used to sit In our parlor and make
bombs evenings

over or else She was afraid of what
people would think of her if she stuck
by me. She used to get the money,
too. 5000 a job. and put it in the bank.
DO you think that looks as If she
knew what l was doing, and Jim sit
ting right there In our house making
bombs? And right here l want to say
that job Hartman knew the McNa-
mara brothers were guilty, as well as
Clarence barrow did, and I suspect
that Clarence Darrow's employer. Sam
Gompers knew 1t too, though / can't
prove that. But l know Hartman

brought my wife and children and my
me over, they and q Mrs. MCGUIRE, a
friend OF my wife, all stayed at Job
