committal, and just one, j. G..
Megler, was against it.

Thirty-six yes; 10 no, and IA nom

positive proof of that fact.
Los ANGELES, Dec. 5.-In n
dramatic scene Judge Bordwell
sentenced the Mcnamara brothers
today as follows:
James B.-Life.
John Fifteen years.
Both men will be eligible for
parole after seven years. They
announce that they will be model
prisoners.
At 1915 Judge Bordwell ar
rived. At 1920 the. Mcnamara
brothers, handcuffed, entered to
be sentenced.
The crowd about the court was
so dense that the sheriff sent for
more deputies and police.
District Attorney Fredericks
read the Mcnamara confessions,
stating that II would help the
court reach his decision. He
urged a life sentence for ]. b..
Mcnamara.
Bordwell then bitterly scored j.
B. Mcnamara and sentenced him
to life Imprisonment in San Quen-
tin.
The court then passed sentence
on John j. Mcnamara.
Prisoner Breaks Down.
All OF the bravado and defiance
was gone from the prisoners man
ner when they entered court.
James B. shook and trembled.
Judge Bordwell scored him BIT
terly.
"A man who would put
dynamite in that building as
you did meant murder and
nothing else. 1t Is no ex-
tenuating circumstance to
hear you say that you didn't
intend to kill anyone. You
are murdo,er and as such
should be punished. You well
deserve the gallows."
James b. Mcnamara was in a
state of complete collapse as ne
sat down. Then his brother arose.
His eyes were deep and sunhen.
His long gray hair ruffled.
Grants Frederick's Plea.
"You were fully as guilty as
your brother" said the judge,
"and deserve no consideration.
But as you have pleaded guilty,
will make the concession suggest
ed by the district attorney and
impose a moderate sentence
Then Sheriff Hammell hurried
the two men back to jail.
Attorneys Broken Up.
Attorneys Darrow, Davis and
Scott for the defense spent much
of the morning in the cells of the
two men, buoying them up. Both
had given way. They realized
that Judge Bordwell might impose
the maximum sentences-death
for one brother and life impris-
oEment for the other.
Darrow sat throughout the pro-
ceedings with his eyes fixed on
the wall. 1t Is the first big de-
feat in his long career as crim-
inal and a labor lawyer. Davis
was more unconcerned. Scott was
much broken up. He has Deen
very close to the two prisoners.
Sentence Not "Fixed."
81 did not know this morning
when / went to court what the
sentences of the McNamaras
would be-" said District Attorney
Frejericks afterward. And, be-
lieve me-, the attorneys for the
defense didn't know.
81 do not know when McMani-
gal will be arraigned. 1t will not
