Deputy Aguirre.
Mcnamara was introduced to Dis
trict Attorney Fredericks and the
District Attorney engaged him in con-
versation, telling him of his rights
in the case and asking him if he de-
sired an early examination.
Mcnamara seemeded little inter
ested and replied that he would be
ready at any time. Upon entering
the room he had looked at Mrs. In
gersoll. If he recognized her or it
he realized the import of her pres
ence there he gave no sign.
Mrs. Ingersoll on the other hand
never betrayed by glance or gest-
ure her recognition of Mcnamara.
Statement by Burns.
CHICAGO, April 27.-With the ar
rival in Chicago today of William J.
Burns, head of the detective agency
bearing his name, who brought about
the arrest of the McNamaras and
two other alleged members of the
clique of dynamiters who blew up the
Los Angeles Times building on Octo-
Der LIST last, fled across the continent
four weeks later and took a steam
ship from New York on Saturday,
November 5. They are now in Eu-
rope and the police of Germany and
Russia have been asked to arrest
them.
These men are:
Matthew A. Schmidt, formerly OF
Chicago, member of the Wood Work
ers and Joiners' Union, accused Of
having helped James B. Mcnamara
to carry nitro-glycerine used to blow
up the Times plant. He is now said

David H. Captain, leading member

in San Francisco. accused of having
set the fuse for the charge of nitro
glycerine that blew up the Times.
Now said to be in Poland.
Schmidt and Captain" said Detect
i've Burns, "were just as active and
just as guilty as the three others in
the murderous work at the Los An
geles Times, where twenty-one per-
sons were killed, and in the placing
of the bombs at the homes of Otis
and Zeehandelaar However, we have
no positive evidence connecting them
with the Eastern dynamite outrages,
in which the others figured.
"Schmidt's last home was in Chi
cago. He left this city with James
R. Mcnamara on September 20, 1910
and Caplan left San Francisco three
days later and joined Mcnamara and
Schmidt in Los Angeles on Septem
