M'NAMARA SR IS
SOUGHT BY POLICE
Efforts Being Made to Locate
Father of Alleged Dy-
namiterS.

Cincinnati, May odd residents in
Cumminsville are wondering what has
become of John Mcnamara, father of
J. J. Mcnamara and James B. McNa-
mara, under arrest in Los Angeles in
connection with dynamiting there. The
father was sentenced to the peniten-
tiary in the local courts for an assault
upon his daughter, Mary. In 1894, his
sentence was committed to 20 years as
the result of a change in the law ap-
plicable to the crimes for which he
was convicted. About a year ago ap.
plication was made for his parole.
Mrs. Mcnamara who has lived with
her daughter and two sons, Daniel and
Robert, at the family home in Cum
minsville, protested against it, but the
pardon board granted the application
and the father was paroled last fall.
So far as is known he never returned
to Cincinnati. but is supposed to be
in the vicinity of Columbus now.
The boys. John j., who was known
by his middle name. Joe, and James,
known as Jim. were both in Cincinnati
for several years at the traction com
pany power house in Cumminsville
where he learned the trade of electri
clan. Later he went with the Westing
house company in Cleveland. 1t was
| thought among his Cumminsville &C
quaintances that he had educated him
self to be an expert electrician and
had responsible position in Cleve
land
Cumminsville residents give an un
usual explanation of the fact that Jim
was arrested under the name of J. c.
Bryce. They say that when Jim was
youth his boon companion in Cum
minsville was Cornelius Bryce, who
died about ten years ago. The boys
were almost constantly together
When it was announced that a man
giving the name of 81. c. Bryce" was
arrested and was supposed to be
James Mcnamara of Cincinnati. some
of the Cumminsville residents at once
said That's Jim all right. He has ia
ken the last name of his old friend
The mother Is known as a religious
woman and is member of st. Pat
rick's church in Cumminsville. When
the Mcnamara boys were in school
Father Hickey. now of Holy Name
church. Mt. Auburn, was pastor of St
Patrick's church, and he is credited
| with having done more for the boys
than probably any other person. II
is said it was through his influence
