Face Great Crowds.

Inc alleged cOnSplratOrs arrived at
the Jail in automobiles, after running
the gauntlet of two crushing crowds,
which, in their eagerness to get
glimpse of the prisoners, overbore the
efforts Of more than score of detec-
tlVeS and deputy sheriffs. The men
were taken from the train in Pasadena
and, on the nine-mile trip to the coun-
ty Jail by automobile, speed laws were
disregarded
During the trip from Dodge City,
placed on board the train bearing his
brother and McManigal, the three men
were kept in separate compartments
John knew that his brother was under
arrest because he caught a glimpse of
him as he entered the railroad station
in the Kansas town. But John was
ignorant of the situation of his alleged
confederates and to keep him in ig-
norance of it he was not brought
through the prison doors at tie same
time.
Conspicuous in the crowd was Mrs.
pected to play an important part in the
prosecution. Mrs. IngersOll is the San
Francisco boarding house keeper in
whose place the man known as J. B.
Bryce stayed prior to the destruction
of the Times building James Nc
Namara, according to the authorities,
is held as Bryce, the man who is al
legged to have laid the Internal ma
chimes that blew up the newspaper
plant The woman was there to iden-
tify him and she did so, notwithstand-
ing he held his unshackled hand be-
fore his face.
In front of the Los Angeles Jail an
other large crowd had assembled and
here the officers again had to fight
their way through the throng with
their prisoners dragging by their
shackled wrists.
At no time was there evident the
least sign of anger on the part of the
crowds or of a disposition to justify
the expressed fear of the officers that
an attempt might be made to rescue
the prisoners. Union buttons were
plentiful, but the men wearing them
were as quiet and orderly as those who
displayed no emblems of utilization
with organized labor.
Although the district attorney said |
he was ready to go to trial at once |
Chief of Detectives Flammer said none |
of the evidence alleged to have been |
unearthed by Burns was on the train |
with the prisoners.
The three prisoners will have no op- |

ties that they be permitted to see at

Considerable reliance is shown by
