sued the following signed statement:
The work of unwatering the Maine
so far proves nothing as to the origin
of the explosion of the magazines,
but already shows. by the extensive
destruction of the forward part of the
boat that it is quite probable that
fuller unwatering will fail to give any
proofs, either way. as to the origin
of such explosions. l have so far
made no reports or statements as to
the origin of the explosion"

sons in the Times explosion. October 1.
1910. when the prisoners were brought
into court to enter pleas to the indict-
ments
Counsel for the defense entered pleas
of no jurisdiction instead Of pleas to the
charges, asserting that John J. Nc

ers, was brought here on eXtradition
papers charging the crime of 6ynamit-
ing. not murder. and Therefore cannot
be tried lawfully on n charge of muir
der
Counsel also moved To quash the in
d:ctments against James Il. Mcnamara.
The defense claimed that if the prose
cution wished To try Mcnamara on any
other charge than dynamiting. it must
admit that he was kidnapped. which
also carried with it the guilt of the
prosecution in kidnapping
That lies We're sworn To by members
Of the district attorneys office force

gued that person to be extradited
must be a fugitive from justice. They
contend that Mcnamara was not. II

not npon what charge a person is ex-
tradited, after such procedure he can
be tried lawfully upon any other. It.
was conceded that perhaps some of
McNamara's rights were violated when
he was brought TO this state. but so far
