 it was said that as soon as A. l. Me Cormick, district attorney for the Southern district of California, re- turned from Washington, whither lie was summoned by Attorney General Wickersham. he would take it in hand and that an assistant from Wicker sham's office might assist him. The lat ter statement could not be confirmed Malcolm MacLaren,. special represen- tative in Los Angeles of the detective agency which brought about the ar rest of the McNamaras, said he eX- pected federal investigations of alleged dynamiting oonspiracies to be begun within 15 days.
 Reagan. a representative of the United States government, was in court last Friday when the McNamaras pleaded guilty. He has been in com munication ever since with Attorney Fredericks, who has stacks of evidence for which he has no particular use in court at the present time.
 That the McNamaras would remain here to appear before this court was rumored tonight. but another which seemed more trustworthy said they would be taken to the penitentiary in a special train immediately after sen tence
 What sentence would be imposed upon the McNamaras, only Judge Bord- well knew tonight. Many telegrams have been received from eastern or ganizations, mostly labor bodies, urg- ing the extreme penalty for both men. None of these has been read by the judge.
 The extreme penalty for James B. McNamara is death and that for his brother life imprisonment It was not officially established tonight whether District Attorney Fredericks would ask clemency.
 Secretary Nockels sof the Chicago Federation of Labor today reasserted, over reports to the contrary, that he did not come here to represent Samuel Gompers, president of the American federation.

 Did you Keep Gompers informed of the progress of the negotiations" was asked
 T did not,'S said Nockels.

Bain, the first sworn juror in the case, S400 and promised 5000 more at the end of the trial if he would vote for acquittal or cause a disagreement of the jury.
 The district attorney produced a sworn copy of testimony given by Mrs. Robert F. Bain, wife of the juror, last Friday Mrs. Bain not only told oi the first meeting, but related in de- tail how Franklin came to her house October 6, a few days before her hus- band was summoned to serve on the jury
 The district attorney ~declared that cnly one more case of bribery, so far as he knew, had not been uncovered and that the amounts in it had beer similar to the Lockwood and Bain cases, so that in all, about $1200O was promised by the defense to influence jurymen
 He said the examination of wit pesses in tine Franklin case would re- veal the details of the alleged bribei y in which Franklin took part. He said ar present no more arrests were in- tended, but that court revelations might make 1t necessary to arrest per- sons on whose orders Franklin is sup posed to have acted.
 The district attorney showed a copy of a stenographic report between Bains wife and deputy district attor- ney. This document purported to rep resent q conversat tion between Mrs. Bain and the detective, Franklin.
