| Crushing Crowds Are There.
The alleged conspirators arrived at
the Jail in an automobile after running
the gauntlet OF two crushing crowds,
which in their eagerness to get a
glimpse OF the prisoners, overbore the
efforts of more than score Of detec-
tives and deputy sherifs. detailed to
hold them back.
The men were taken from the Cali
fornia Limited train at Pasadena and
the nine-mile trip to the county jail
by automobile speed limit was abso-
lutely disregarded,
During the trip from Dodge City,
Kan, where John Mcnamara boarded
the train bearing his brother and Nc
: Manigal, the three men were kept in
separate compartments. John knew
: that his brother was under arrest be-
cause he caught glimpse of him as
he entered the railroad station in the
Kansas town. But John was ignorant
of the situation of his alleged confed
crates, and to keep him in ignorance
OF it he was not brought through the
prison doors at the same time with
them.
! James Mcnamara and McManigal
were taken from the train at the main
station in Pasadena and hustled into
one motor car, while John remained
in his compartment until Raymond, q
suburban station of Pasadena was
reached, where a second automobile
was in waiting.
John escaped the curious throng
around the Jail, but James and Nc.
Manigal were rushed by a crowd Sc
dense they were unable to reach the
waiting motor car until officers could
clear a path.
Woman Says He is Bryce
Conspicuous in the crowd was Mrs
D. Fl. Ingersoll, the woman who is ex
pected to play prominent part in the
prosecution. Mrs. Ingersoll is the San
Francisco boarding house keeper at
whose place the man known as ]. B

t tives, is held as Bryce, the man who
