Bribery Cases Next

Los Angeles, Dec. 6.-With Judge
Bordwell saying the McNamaras' con-
fessions were due to the bribery de-
velopments alone. and District Attor-
ney Fredericks determined to push
the charges against Franklin. interest
today switched from the McNamaras
in their cells to the bribery and the
federal probe
When Franklin appears in court
Monday it is problematical what sort
of fight will be made. 1t is admit
ted that it is up to District Attorney
Fredericks.
The federal probe into the dyna-
mite cases, promises soon to over
shadow the original Mcnamara case.
The grand jury meets tomorrow.
Ortie McManigal will be among the
first witnesses. Agents say that his
story when published, will electrify
the entire country
Meanwhile five hundred secret SER
vice men have been placed at the dis
posal of Special United States Attor-
ney General Lawler who has charge
of the probe here.
1t is unlikely that there will be any

Angeles as far as the dynamiting is
concerned.
1t is intimated that the first indict-
ments will come out here and not in
indianapolis. Proceedings here will
be pushed before the eastern cases
in order that the indicted men, who
might escape, can be entangled.
In addition to evading the enor-
nous expense District Attorney Fred
ericks is convinced that the federal
courts can do quicker work and De-
tective Burns and his evidence will
be turned over to them.
1t is said that some high labor
chiefs are soon to be indicted.
James r. Mcnamara won't be re-
quired to tell his story to the grand
jury. Owing to his confession he
can't be qualified as a witness.
John j. however. may be called
though this is doubtful Lawlor is
still debating on the matter. Until
he decides, the brothers will be kept
here.
Lawler expects the Indictment of

INCENDIARY BLAZE
DAMAGES RESIDENCE
Coutts-AveriII Families Made
Homeless BY Fire
Fiiend
Sleeping Occupants Aroused by
Shrieking OF Locomotive Siren, and
Find House I'm Flames.

AS a result of a fire that is charged
to an incendiary the families of G.
w. Coutts and E. F. Averill are home
less today and the old Arnold house
on Willow street, near the O.-W. r. &
N. round house, is partly destroyed
The fire evidently originated about
l O'Clock and the first alarm was CIV
en- by an O.-W. r. & N. engine. Ac-
cording to G. w. Coutts he was
awakened by the whistling of the en-
gine and awoke to find his woodshed
in flames and fire coming through the
rear wall into the dwelling house Af-
ter the two families had been gotten
out in safety the work of rescuing the
furniture was taken up and most of
the furniture was saved. The central
fire companies and the local company
in that vicinity responded to the fire
bell and extinglished the blaze before
1t had done more than burn the wood
shed. the rear portion of the dwelling
and much of the roof.
The burned building was the prop
erty of the Arnold estate and was oc-
cupied Jointly by the Coutts and Av-
erill families. The woodshed imme-
diately Joined the house in the rear.
1t contained several cords of wood
and also some dry shingles that prov
ed very combustible.
In the opinion of Mr.. Coutts the
fire was started by an incendiary. He
says that in no other way can he ac-
count for its origin. No lights were
ever used in the woodshed as IL Is
lighted by an electric light on the
rear porch. Mr.. Coutts was last in
the woodshed at o'clock last evening
and declares no member of the fam
ily entered the place after that time.
Insurance amounting to $500 was
carried by Mr.. Coutts upon his house
hold goods, while his son-in-law. Mr..
Averill, carried $500 Insurance. These
policies will protect the tenants in
their losses.
The Arnold house was insured for
the sum of $4,000 but 1t Is understood
that the policy was allowed to lapse
and in consequence the heirs will be
losers to the extent of the damage
upon the house.
Once before an attempt was made
to destroy this same house by fire.
but the blaze was discovered by a
high school student who gave the
alarm. But slight damage was in
flicted by the first fire.
