 tended to play in the McNamara case.
 it is said here today, is volume con
 tainng photogra phic copies of alleged hotel registrations of Ortie McManigal and James B. McNamara through the
 country covering nearly two years. A copy of this volume is in the hands of Albert & Osborne, a handwritin s expert, who was retained by the dis trict attorney at Los Angeles to col l leet this evidence and place it in striI<- | ing form for the jury well as to prepare to give expert testimony oil
 the genuineness of the signatures.
 The signatures are taken from ho- tels all the way from San Francisco 10 Boston,, MT. Osborne said. They
 completely corroborate the confession that he visited certain cities and 1 finding his name or in one of his many
 aliases the ink dried on the hotel reg isters just as he said they would. "In many cases he also had a coll panion. According to our photographs

Phillip Cooley

New orleans, December 2.-"I never would have believed the McNamara brothers guilty even if the jury had so declared, and it appears that the confessions were forced said Phillip Cooley, general organizer of the ln- ternational Association of Bridge and structural Iron Workers and member of the executive council of that or ganization, who was present when John J. McNamara was arrested at the union headquarters in Indianapolis.
 A q was so shocked at the confess sions that could hardly believe them, said Cooley. T thought the. two broth CTS were too clever to do such crimes as they have confessed l have known them for years l worked with them in 1899. I was in Indianapolis when Burns raided our international office ana arrested John J. last summer.
 q don't know what to make of the confessions. I never would have be- lieved the two men guilty even if the jury had found them so. sg.
 "As to what action our international union will take, l cannot say. Was so convinced of the innocence of tne two men that l thought they would have an easy time in winning their case. n
 q recall how the two McNamaras worked themselves up in the ranks of labor. They were apparently just two ordinary boys who interested them selves in labor and its movement anc their ability as leaders was discovered soon.
 "They improved their education right along and It's surprising sequel has dumbfounded me"

The only logical treatment for rheu- matism is through the blood. The poi sons that settle in muscles, joints and back, causing severe pain, must be dis solved and expelled from the system or there can be no relief.

From your druggist get one ounce of Toris com pound Gin original sealed package) and one ouilce of syrup of Sarsaparilla com pound. Take these two ingredients home and put them into half pint of good whiskey. Shake the bottle and take tablespoonful before each meal and at bedtime" Results come the first day. If your druggist does not have Toris compound in stock he will get 1t in a few hours from his wholesale house Don't be influenced to take some patent medicine instead of this. Insist on having the genuine Toris compound in the original. one ounce, sealed. yellow package.

Brand WhitlOck

Toledo, O., December 2.-The announce ment that the McNamara brothers have confessed their guilt is a sickening moral shock to those who had believed in their innocence. Mayor Brand Whitlock said today: There is much one is tempted to say" he continued, but 1 have only the time now to point out that their desperate and cruel crime was based on an older error, the fundamental error of thinking that there are circumstances which justify force, brutality and violence. There is no more good in dynamiting than in Pink erton bullets for instance. No more good in assassination than there is in hanging, and no difference between the juxtapo- sition They are all the same"

Smith and David M Kaplan, alleged aecomplices of J. B. McNamara, would be made not long after his forthcoming visit to Los Angeles.
 He added that sensational disclosures probably would follow this visit. which he will make in about week, or after he has made trip to New York on another case. Just what further prose eutions or additional arrests would be made he declined to intimate but he would not deny that the trail went beyond Indianapolis
 Where Kaplan and Smith are is not known, Burns saying that the Me Namaras knew where the two were living and added that you won't have to wait long now before they are taken
 in" He added that inasmuch as Chi cago newspapers covered the territory between the Rockies and the Appa-
 iachian ranges, the Chicago papers probably will be the first to print the news This is his first intimation that the men were not, as reported, under surveillance by his opera tives on the
 Pacific coast.
 Telegrams continued to come to
 Burns today and from these he gave one from Battling" Nelson. which read ''To the Master of All Sleuths--Cop gratulations on victory, your vindica ton and McNamara brothers comics sion to dynamiting is nothing short oi unique. l figured you was right from the time you made arrests.

 Sam T. Penna. who for many years was a prominent figure in many of the labor councils, stated that union labor has noth- ing in common with law volators and therefore, he continued, has nothing in common with the McNamaras in the light of their confessions.

 Expressing his opinion of the unions that had adopted resolutions demanding death penalties for the McNamaras, Sec retary Gallagher said:
 such action is not based on calm judg- ment. Many of tic unions coming to the front now were correspondingly slow in contributing to defend the men who, until they confessed were martyrs suf- fering otherwise prosecutions"
