This boast, attributed by Detective
Malcolm McLaren to James B. Mona
mara, as the latter was being taken
on train from Detroit to Chicago on
the night Of April IL, last, caused Nc
Manigal. then also under arrest, to be-
come angered with Mcnamara, and was
the first circumstance that led McMani-
gal to break with his companion and
eventually to confess his connection
with various dynamiting explosions
throughout the country.
Real Confession Saved.
McManigars real confession had been
saved for the trials Of James B. and
John J. Mcnamara, now under sentence,
after their pleas, of life Imprisonment
and fifteen years, respectively; but this
evidence, as well as that which had
been gathered by the State, was turned
over toeay to the United States Gov
eminent.
The Federal grand jury heard McMan-
igal's story all of yesterday and will
hear more of 1t today, laying the foun-
fdations for the investigation into the
alleged dynamiting conspiracies that
extended from coast to coast in the last
three years.

Quotes Editorial.
Gompers also was quoted as saying:

for 1t, I would turn them over to jus

When we were selected as a cont

Written and oral protestations of inno-
