 Faith in this doctrine, however, was iolted when it became known that Lawrence Sullivan an investigator em ployed by the defense, had been in Frederick's office sud that Attorney Darrow also had been there.
 Court Room Packed
 At the afternoon session the court room was packed many attaches of Frederick's office being present. G. Ray Horton and w. Joseph Ford, two of Frederick's deputies wore their best clothes, and Mrs. Fredericks had a seat inside the railing. James B. McNamara sat next to Attorney Scott who slapped hin on the back and put his arm around him.
 When John J. McNamara entered and took a seat beside his brother, vacated for him by Darrow, there was small doubt of what would occur. The pleadings of the men aroused no stir in the court room. No baiiiff bounded for order. No relative was there to weep or make a demonstration. A civ il case could not have been more hysteria could have emphasized or equalled, the impression of tense anX- iety which pervaded the court room. Once, for a moment before J. B. Me Namara stood up to plead, a baby cried. Its startled mother hustled it out of the room and the prisoner did not even look around.
 District Attorneys Office.

Many detail which hitherto would have been con vital was freely talked about, but it lost it's importance in view of the confession of guilt in the court room today.
 Gas and dynimate both played their part, but dynamite started the trouble and caused the explosion proper this was Attorney Darrow's explana- tion from his talks with the defend ants.
 McNamaras Plead Guilty.
 A summary of the days happenings included the following incidents:
 James B. McNamara pleaded guilty to having placed a dynamite bomb un- der the Los Angeles Times building in October 1910, causing the deaths of twenty-one persons.
 John J. McNamara, secretary-treas-I urer of the International Association CTS, brother of James B., did not en- ter aplea at this time to the indict- ment similarly entered against him for the Times explosion, but when he is arraigned next Tuesday it is virtu- ally certain, proceedings against him oh rrri1 he the state admits it has no evidence John J., directly with this | particular disaster.
 John J. McNamara, however, plead l ed guilty to the charge of having caus- ed the explosion of the Llewllyn Iron
 Imprisonment Penalties.
 District Attorney John D. Freder- icks will recommend life imprison- ment for James B., and ten years for John J., but Judge Walter Bordwell alone can fix the sentences.
 Ortie E. McManigal, who confessed having actually blown up the Llew- eIlyn Iron Works here in December, | 1910, at the direction of John J. Mo | Namara, will be brought to trial, but | it is expected the state will recom- mend only a light sentence because he turned states evidence.
 Bribery charges against Bert H. l Franklin, a detective employed by the McNamara defense, probably will be
