International News Special

International News Special
Los Angeles, April 27.-In the
presence of District Attorney John
B. Fredericks, Sheriff w. A. Ham
mel and four operatives of the Burns
National Detective agency, Ortie e.
McManigal today repeated in detail
the cpnfession made by him to Will
liam J. Burns in Chicago
The story dealt with dynamite plots
extending over a period of three years
nearly all of which were successful
and property destroyed aggregating
almost 100000.
He not only furnished complete
testimony as to the material circum-
stance, but also supplied the terms
of the conspiracy and the motive be-
hind it's vast and hidden workings.
He directly and specifically accus-
ed J. J. Mcnamara, secretary treas
urer of the International Associa-
ton of Bridge and Structural Irlon
Workers, of being the originator, con-
trolling genius and paymaster OF this
conspiracy
He emphatically named J. j. Nc
Namara, brother Of the secretary as
the man who placed the dynamite
under the Los Angeles Times build
Ing and as Immediately responsible
for the destruction Of the plant and
the murder of twenty one men.
He charged J. W. Mcnamara with
completely In same crime. It was
Secretary Mcnamara, he said, who
conceived the atrocious crime, plan
ned the details and delegated his bro
ther to carry them out.
He said that J. B. Mcnamara plac-
ed the dynamite with an alarm clock
attachment In the "ink" alley ,of the
Times Building, broke a gas pipe to
make 1T appear than an explosion Of
gas had caused the disaster and bur-
ried away to take the 'lark' train of
the Southern Pacific, which left five
hours before the explosion occurred
The conception of the alarm clock,
he said, was ]. ]. McNamara's, who
had pronounced it the most cunning7
ly arranged agent of destruction ever
invented
McManigal said that j. B. McNam-
ara, using the name of Bryce; David
Caplan and M. A. Schmidt bought the
dynamite from the Dupont Powder
Works, across the bay from San
Francisco, and that Schmidt and Cap
Ian remained in that city. AS to his
own crimes McManigal gave the de-
tails of long list of dynamite but
RACES Of which he freely admitted his
guilt.
But the men towards whom he
pointed the accusing finger as being
responsible was J. J. Nc
Namara. This man, he said, decided
about three years ago that the only
way to win for union irtpn workers
their fight against the Erectors AS
ISOLATION was through the agency of
dynamite.
