that another very important bulletin
was coming and for The Sentinel and
another delay was necessitated, that
bulletin arriving at 5:22 o'clock and
a new makeup was again required.
All this took time-most precious

that its patrons would rather suffer
the delay than to be disappointed
in not being given the story of this
great confession by the Mcnamara
brothers.
Immediately upon the receipt of
the news in this city by The Sentinel
which was the first and only news
received by any person or publica-

along Main street in a number of
prominent business houses and soon
eager crowds surrounded them and

Find Wire Leading Into McMan-

sentinel sneclal serrice.


Los Angeles, Dec. "A bit of
twisted wire dangling slantwise from
an upper window today led to an in
vestigation by counsel defending
James B. Mcnamara, which convinc-
ed them that the walls of the Los
Angeles county Jail have ears, or
anyway one ear, which has heard
many confidential speeches.
The wire runs from a window in
an unoccupied cell room on the third
floor of the Jail. down to another
unoccupied room on the second
floor. Visitors entertained by Or
tie Z. McManigal, who is perhaps
the states mainstay in the attempt
to show that Mcnamara caused the
death of Charles Haggerty by blow
ing up the Los Angeles Times build
ing. saw him in the upper room. a
detective and perhaps a stenograph-
er were in the lower one, but for all
practical purposes the wire transport
ed them into the very presence of
persons who talked to McManigal
while the grand jury was in session.
This is the declaration of the defense,
which to be sure, has not much docu-
mentary evidence except a picture
of the dangling wire. Btu it also is
virtually conceded by the state.
81 shouldn't wonder bit if you're
right" said District Attorney John
d. Frederics. when asked if dicta-
phone had been used in this manner.
There should be nothing unusual
about that. Ever see one? There is
just round disc attached to the
window shade or against the pane, or
anywhere-no one would notice it
and the wire leading to some other
place. It's interesting.
What this device has meant to the
state became manifest uDon inspec-
tion of the list of names of those who
visited McManigals. 1t includes Mrs.
McManigal, who, according to her
husband, coerced him by threats of
separation into signing note, ask
1pg Clarence S. Darrow, chief of the
counsel for the defense, to come and
see him.
1t is the theory of the defense that
this interview was transcribed on
the floor below, almost before Mrs.
McManigal was out of the Jail.
I-cManigal a short time later re-
pudiated the request
