o. NJ. Hilton. one Of the ATTORNEYS
for the defendants, accomplished
coup that worried the district attor-
ney. Hilton asked McManigal in the
presence of two witnesses II he had
made any confession. McManisal de-
MED having confessed. To combat
the effect Of this assertion McMani-
gal was hurried to the district attor-
ney's office and there. according 10
attaches Of the ofice repeated the
confession he is said to have made in

According To Burns man the con
fession made by McMsnigsl reveals a
long series Of dynamitng outrages
which. according 70 McManigal. we're
planned for Los Angeles and vicinity.
These included the proposed dynamt-
ing Of the Los Angeles spueduct, now
under construction: the destruction
Of some Of tho citys personal water
reservoirs and pipe lines. and a mum
her of explosions in various parts OF
the city for the purpose Of terrorizing

accomplices in numerous dynsmiting
outragos. Ortie McManigal practically
has revealed himself as the star in
former Of the William J. Burns dctec-
tive agency and principal witness for
the prosecution in the trial of the

McManigal not only has been in
close touch with Burma. but 1t Is prac-
tically certain that he has received
pay from Burns for serving him by
playing his part in all the acts OF the
so-called "wrecking crew" to which
he has confessed. His fear Of con
sequences should the McNamaras and
their friends learn his exact relation
; to Burns explains the precautions
taken to prevent the truth from be'
coming known until all were safely
IN Jail.
