Rappaport for Defense.

District Attorney Fredcricks received
official notification today that Attor-
ney Leo NJ. Rappaport of Indianapo-
lis was representing the defense In
the Mcnamara cases.
Rappaport visited the prosecutor
and after the conference 1t was an
nounced that the arralgnment of John
and James Mcnamara and Ortie Nc
Manigal would occur some time this
week
Rappaport declared that as far as
the defense was concerned there was
no objection to having the trial of the
accused men in Los Angeles and that
as the arraignment was mere legal
formalty. there was no reason for
further delay In that.
No one connected with the defense
has yet received any definite knowl-
edge of the indictments returned
against the three men. The charges
will be ready when they are arraigned.
At the same time, a transcript Of the
testimony adduced before the grand
jury will be given the attorneys for the
prisoners. Then a date will be set
for the making of the pleas.
District Attorney Frcdercks said to
day that the transcript contained
more than thousand pages Of testi-
mony concerning the alleged plot
which eliminated in the blowing up
of the Los Angeles Times October l.
last. and it probably would be at least
one week after the arraignment be-
fore the prisoners would be ready TO
enter their pleas.
Apart from the practical certainty
that Ortie McManigal Is to play the
star part In the trial, nothing Is known
of the course he will pursue, and
nothing will be known until the oppor-
! tnnity to enter plea reveals his atti-
| tude.
| In some official quarters 1t Is hinted
that he will not be called on either for
plea or for trial until he has testi-
fled. as District Attorney Frederclls
said he would. against the McNamara
! brothers.
II do not intend to discuss the eyi.
dence in the case or the probable lin,
of defense" said Attorney Rappaport;
Il can say, however. that neither
John Mcnamara nor his brother James
has any fear of the charges contained
In the indictments against them"
Rappaport declined to discuss in any
way the confession alleged To hay,
been made to District Attorney Fred
erlcks by McManlgal.

were permitted to congregate around

warrants once signed were equivalent
to cash and many instances are cited
where 'grafters" got into possession
of the money.
This was the way it was done: Al
every place of payment the Indians
were formed in line. When an In

for payment a clerk in loud stenorian
tones would announce his name. This
