BARROW TO DEFEND
BOMB SUSPECTS
viii Be Chief Counsel for the MeNan.
aras-Defense Objects to
Judge.

Los Angeles, Cal. - It was def
initely announced here that Clar
ence Darrow Of Chicago will be chief
counsel for the Mcnamara brothers,
accused Of completely in the blowing
up of the Times building in October
last This was agreed uDon at con-
ference betWeea Attorney Lee Kappa
port of INDIANAPOLIS and the accused
men.
RappapoTt stated that Mr.. Darrow
would not come here until after the
arraignment of the two prisoners and
probably not until date for trial has
been set.
District Attorney Fredericks set at
rest the rumors that $1,000 900 would
be used In the prosecution Of the two
McNamaras. The county board Of
supervisors set aside fund of $4,000
and it is believed by the district at
torney that this amount viii be entire
ly sufficient for the use of the prose
cution
II is understood that the defense
will make objection to Judge Bord-
wei trying the case upon the ground
that he summoned the special grand
jury which returned the indictments.
Attorney Rappaport who Is the
general counsel for the international
Association of Structural Iron and
Bridge Workers, visited the county
jail and for two hours conferred with
]. J. and j. b. Mcnamara. He made
no effort to see McManigal and an
nounced that he would make no eff
fort to see the alleged lnformer, and
that neither he nor Mr.. barrow would
defend McManigal.
The first legal battle in the case
will occur shortly after the prisonet 3
are arraigned At that time 1t is likely
that the defense will move to quash
the Indictment and that an attack will
be made upon the grand Jury which
issued the indictments. This fight will
precede the date for pleading.
