Los Angeles, Nov t1.--Masses Of
twisted iron and photographs of grid
ers win play an important part in the
James 3. Mcnamara trial in determ-
ming the cause of the explosion and
fire which wrecked the Los Angeles
Times building a year ago with a loss
of twenty-one lives.
Whether Mcnamara, by the use OF
dynamite, brought about these deaths.
would be largely question of ex-
pert testimony submitted to the com
mon sense of jurors. it was said to-
day.
The defense, ii became known, will
seek to show that the big steel plates
were twisted out of shape by a fire.
and by fire alone. Dynamite, It is
contended. would rend, and not warp,
the beams, providing the charge were
large enough to do material damage,
any where.
The position Of the state in this,
as in other questions, is being guarded
carefully but 1t is said that the theory
that moderate explosion of dyna-
mite ignited store of gas liberated
" pui iposely broken pipe, causing
the great disaster may be followed.
Officials of the state attorneys Of
flee declined to discuss reports from
Cincinnati OF the location OF cache
Of dynamite by George Eckpoff, u

Jurors and talesmen returned late
today from a long automobile ride

the capital early tomorrow. He will
then take a day or two of rest before
beginning the work of writing his

say, will be one of the most import

thirty states and been seen by crowds
that Mr.. Hilles estimates at over five
million people.
This, the presidents last day on
the road, was given up to eastern
Tennessee. Knoxville got six hours
of the presidents time and on the
way to Bristol he made speeches from
the rear of his train at five small

Mcdonald ran far ahead of his

The other candidates on the demo-

pository through its branches of the
financial institutions of the nation
desiring to avail themselves of that

In order to reassure the popular
