Husband Seeks to Have Her
Confederate His Story.
WOMAN SAYS SHE STOOD PAT
Effort of Defense to Win Over Nc
ManigaI Is Apparently Offset
by His Reiteration of
Previous Confession.

Los Angeles, Cal, June 28.-Mr. and
MRS. Ortie McManigal are the chief
figures in the latest developments in
the investigation Of the Times dyna-
hitting cases. He, confessed dyna-
inter and informer against John ].
Mcnamara and his brother, J. B. Nc
Namara, was led back to his cell in
the county Jail with tears streaming
down his cheeks, while a physician
worked over her. she having tainted
during an ordeal to which she was
subjected in an anteroom near the
grand jury
The tears of McManigal and the COL
lapse of his wife were the sequel of
an unexpected meeting in the ante
room-uneXrected SO far as the prin-
cipals were concerned, but carefully
planned by the prosecution to lhvart
the scheme of the defense to win over
McManigal through the pleas of his
wife. McManigal was taken to the
anterOOm without the knowledge of
the defense and when Mrs Mechanical
go before the grand jury Instead she
was taken into the anteroom There
began a bombardment of questions,
McManigal adding his appeal that Mrs.
McManigal tell everything to those
made by the detectives, but Mrs. Nc
Manigal would say nothing.
When she swooned Dr. Lowell was
hastily called and worked over her
some time before she revived. AS
she staggered out of the room at 4
O'Clock she almost fell into the arms
of Attorney Clarence barrow, ex-
claiming weakly Il stood pat"
The defense is angry over the in
cident, alleging the prosecution sub
iected Mrs McManigal to third de-
gree" methods of the worst kind. The
prosecution answers that it's sole pur-
pose was to obtain admissions from
Mrs. Mechanical that the story of her
husband has related is true. APP
narently the progress made by the de-
Tense toward getting McManigal into
mood to repudiate his confession
was offset, for it is asserted by the
prosecution that he went to the ante
room where his wife met him affirm
ing his statements were true and seek
ing confederation on her part of hap
penings within her knowledge
Mrs. Mechanical was before the jury
prior to the scene in the anteroom,
but admitted nothing.

Head of Mormon Church before
Hardwick Committee.
AGED MAN A GOOD WITNESS
Declares that His Church Is Not
"Roling in Wealth." and Tells
Why He Likes Henry
0. Havemeyer.

Washington, June 2S.-The principal
witness at the hearing of the Hard
wick sugar Investigating committee
was Joseph F. Smith, the venerable
president Of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints.
His presence attracted larger
crowd than had been seen in the COM
mittee room since the inquiry began.
Many women were present. They
eyed the prophet curiously as he en-
tered the committee room and crowd
ed closely around him as he told the
story of the relations of the Mormon
church with the sugar trust.
Prophet Joseph is seventy-three
years of age. He is tall, spare of fig
ure, mas keen blue eyes and, like the
prophets of old, wears a beard that
falls toward the waist line He
stepped briskly into the committee
room and when called to the stand
responded with a smile
Six years ago Prophet Smith ap-
peared before the senate committee on
privileges AID elections At that time
Reed Smoot, an apostle of the church,
whose right to occupy a seat in the
senate was questioned. On that &C.
casion "the first president" of the
Mormon church told all about that or
ganization and entered into a discus
sion of his domestic affairs, admitting
that he had five wives and a good
many children.
Several Of the Mormon brethren &C.
companied the prophet at the present
hearing. They were Apostle Smoot,
Bishops Charles N Nibley and Thorn
as r. Cutler, Representative Joseph
Howell, the only Mormon in the house,
and R. w. Young, a grandson of Brig
ham Young.
'"The first president" proved a good
witness. He expressed surprise when
members of the committee gave the
impression that the Mormon church
is rolling IN wealth, declaring that
this was mistaken notion, that they
really had been in financial straits on
several occasions and had had to bor-
row. The prophet objected to having
H. o. Havemeyer characterized as "an
industrial pirate declaring that on
the contrary he had been "benefac-
tor" to the Mormons
Bishop Nibley followed the prophet
on the stand. The bishop proved a
jovial witness. Representative Sulzer
Intercepted him about conditions in
Utah.
'If the farmers there" observed Mr.
SUlzer. quit raising sugar beets they
could raise something else, couldn't
they?"
"0h, yes" replied the witness "They
raise corn in Kansas and sometimes
they raise something else"
