well, l didn't fix the number OF
years" said Mr.. Fredericks, "but l sup
pose the court took into account John
J. MeNamaras apparent age, which cer-
tainly seems like AZ years. In fact, /
| always have had the impression that nc
was that old. After nine years in state
prison he will be an old man.
Some of the statements from union la
Dor leaders repudiating the McNamaras
are sincere and some are not" Mr.
Frederieks continued. Some of the men
who are making the loudest public utter
ances are implicated in the dynamiting
outrages for which these men were SEN
fenced, today.
As for John ]. Mcnamara, l think

ing this case which l do not know. II
i is not necessary for him to make any
further statement.
THE case is not yet closed. 1 believe
that never since the Civil War has the
United States passed through such a

case I believe that this trial and the
ultimate results will mark the passage
of bludgeon, the walking delegate and
