Hubbard was arrested September
% and accused of firing the Hubbard
home at 249I Thirteenth avenue. when
three persons were asleep in the house.
The explanation advanced by Inspec-
tor of Detectives Peterson was that
the house carried $4,000 insurance in
Mrs Hubbards name. that she had
left her husband and was staying at
San Francisco and that the money was
wanted to take the woman and her
affinity east.
Hubbard gave a partial confession
to Peterson and later he was held to
answer in the superior court on
charge of arson. The fire which Hub
mated at $4,000. but the inmates were
aroused by the smoke and escaped
without injury.

Discussion of Outcome

There is much discussion here of the
probable outcome of the summoniBg of
Gallagher. Tveitmoe. Clancy and the
others. McManigal in one of his several
confessions told how he had been in
structed by John J. Mcnamara to COM
municate with Clancy while in Califor-
mia.

graph Clancy. after destroying the

further says that Tveitmoe is the per-
son meant by John ]. Mcnamara when
he told his brother. James b., to see
the .'old man" in San Francisco.
One hundred and thirty subpenas
were sent out today. Several local labor
leaders were among those who have
been called to testify. The McNamaras,
according to the latest information. are
not likely to testify. Even if they do,
it is probable they will be taken to
San Quentin first and then brought
back here, as the federal officials arc
not ready for them.
