'MAN|GAL GOING
 ID INDIANAPOLIS To Tell of Alleged Dynamit-
 ing Conspiracy
TO CONCEAL NOTHING
Lawler, Special Government Prosecu- tor, May Go to Indiana to As- sist--McManigal May Prob
 ably Be Later Released

Los Angeles. December 10.-Ortie Me- Manigal will be taken to Indianapolis within a few days to tell the federal grand jury there what he knows of the alleged dynamiting conspiracy, the first chapter of which was closed today with the placing of James B. and John | McNamara in the San Quentin peni- tentiary.
 Just when McManigal will leave here has not been determined, but he will be in Indianapolis by December 22, the federal grand jury. being scheduled to begin it's probe there December 24 Oscar Lawler, the governments spe- cial prosecutor, may go to Indianapolis to assist in the case The work may be concluded this week. The investi- gation here is aimed at less than five persons while the Indianapolis inquiry is expected to bring into the limelight at least dozen. Indianapolis, there fore, will be the center of the govern ment investigation.
 These facts were learned today after 3 canvass of those who have had much to do with the McNamara case here and who will continue to work on 1t. Partial confirmation came from Mc- Manigal himself at the county jail to- day when he said:
 m tell any grand jury anywhere everything that I know. I have noth- ing to conceal and I shall consider it my duty to give the authorities all the information in my power"
 McManigal will be accompanied when he leaves here by Malcolm McLarin, the detective who arrested him in Detroit last April and who has been with hin, since, spending days at time with him. The two have become good friends. It was to McLarin that Nc Manigal made his real confession. There are many things McLarln said tonight, (which McManigal would mt think important in our talks, but whicr have furnished the detectives back east some busy times. Although we had to search the registers of a number of towns we have, in every instance, COT = roborated McManigals story by hotel registers showing his signatures"
 McLarin's daily report of what Nc Manigal was telling him in the jail since his arrival here on April 26, GOV cred on some occasions as much as 309c words and these statements have been
 turned over by the state authorities to the government.
 McManigal after his trips around the country giving testimony, probably will be released. No serious objection to his is expected from anybody He will be closely guarded, however, at all times and his trip across the country will be in secret
 Twenty-Five witnesses are expected to appear before the grand jury here this week. Interest will center in the appearance of some of San Francisc o's labor leaders who have been summoned But by the end of the week all impor- tant points in the McNamara case will have been settled. Indictments are not expected before January s. when the term of the present grand jury expires.
 As far as the government is con- cerned, it can make either Los Angeles or Indianapolis the center of activities. but it is believed Los Angeles busi- ness men have asked that the honors be passed to Indianapolis. Business men assert that the McNamara case affected the towns prosperity.
 Tomorrow another phase of the Me Namara case is expected to be con cluded for the present. Burt H. Frank : iin charged with bribing a prospective Juror, will be arraigned for preliminary examination. It is believed Franklin will be bound over for trial by q justice of the superior court, the trial date probably to be several weeks off.
