THOMPSON FREED
OF POPE MURDER
LaytOnSVille Farmers SIay-
ing Still a Mystery.

Unable to solve the mystery of the
death of Joseph NJ. Pope, seycnty-two
years old at Laytonsvllle, on September
16, when he fell with a mortal gunshot
wound, as his son. John Pope, and a
friend, Archie Thompson, fired at each
other simultaneously, in drunken
brawl, d jury before Judge Peter, in the
Circuit Court of Montgomery County,
last night acquitted Archie Thompson of
a charge of numbering the elder Pope.
After hearing for two days testimony
which failed TO show whether Pope wus
killed by his son or Thompson, the jury de-
liberated for an hour and fifteen minutes,
and at 9:3J o'clock reported Not guilty. d"
bringing Il smile 10 the features Of the
young farmer. Thompson. and causing
his girl-wifc, who held their babe on her
lap. to weep with happiness, and result
ing in a demonstration 10y the Rockville
spectators, which was stopped only after
much rapping with the Gavcl by Judge
Peter.
Testimony revealed that only Thompson
and John Pope We're eyewitncss"s Of the
killing of Joseph Pope. The young men
had drunk hard cider at ThOmpsOns
house until they were intoxicated. The
two Popes had been squirrel hunting, and
their guns rested against fence. Young
Pope ard Thompson began quarreling.
Thompson ran in the house. procured a
gun. and returned to the doorway. He
fired at the same time young Pope fired.
The elder Pope, trying to prevent blood
shed. was between the young men, and
received a charge of shot Who fired the
fatal charge is a question probably never
to be answered.

WICKERSHAM'S AGENTS
WILL DELVE DEEPLY
INTO DYNAMITE CASE

Special agents of the Department OF
Justice, working under orders directly
given by Attorney General Wickersham.
will purge the labor bodies Of the country
OF the dynamiting element.
For some time, II was learned yester-
day, the operatives of this department
have been paying more or less attention
to dynamite outrages through the coun-
try, and the presence here of United
States District Attorney Mccormick, of
Los Angeles, strengthens the authentic
reports. That the American Federation
of Labor has taken a stand In the Nc
Namara case which means that they will
aid the Federal government in this work
is also believed.
Mr.. Wickersham so far has refused to
either confirm or deny, or in any way
to discuss the matter, but the fact that
Mr.. Mccormick win probably be received
by the Attorney General in conference
leaked out yesterday morning.
According to- the present plans OF the

aid on the previous day. TO the effect
that twenty or thirty other labor leaders
would be indicted by the Indianapolis
Federal grand jury, which convenes De-
cember i. When asked about their
identity, he said:
You can perhaps draw your own con-
Clusions. 1t is known and on record that
the executive board of the International
Association of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers voted $1,000 a month to the Nc
Namar1s. For what purpose. do you sup
pose, this was do1s? Every one knows
how at least part OF the money was
spent"
This was taken as an intimation that
the next prisoners would come from thai
group, especially as Mr.. Drew said at
various times that the ramifications of
the case would extend all over the coun-
try.
The members Of the executive board
mentioned live in various cities. They
are President F. NJ. Ryan, Indianapolis:
First Vice President ]. p. Butler, Buff
faIo: Second Vice President w. II. s.
HOckin. Detroit: executive board direc-
tO-s, NJ. J. Young. Boston; n A. Cooley.
New Orleans, J. f. McGlory. Cleveland
and Edward Lewis, Cincinnati.
When asked about Detective Burns
declaration that President Samuel Com
pers, OF the American Federation Of La
bor had known all along of the guilt OF
the MCNamaraS, Mr.. Drew said:
That's up to Burns. l have no such
knowledge. I do not say that he had
any information concerning the dyna-
mitings, or that he is guilty Of any crime
or any criminal knowledge. 1 do not
know whether or not he will be sup
poenaed before the Indianapolis jury.
Our organization has no desire to hound
Mr.. Gompers. He's having troubles
enough of his own, 1t would appear"
A report tonight was that Mr.. Drew
had sent a personal telegram to John
J. Mcnamara, urging him to make a con-
fession showing that he and his brother
were merely tools OF the men higher up,
which confession might result in a clean
ing up OF the evils existing in unions
and advance thereby the labor cause.
Mr. Drew declined to say whether or
not he had had any communication with
Mcnamara.

There was defiance IN the voice of the
leader when he answered the question
and when asked if he did not consider
that the newspapers representing the
public had right to know his plans, he
added angrily:
None of the papers represent anything
but private interests"
What is your attitude toward the Mt
Namaras now since they have con-
tessed,' was th6 next question.
Gompers showed the greatest signs OF
agitation when asked If he had con-
templated resigning as the leader of or
ganized labor. He said: II do not know
that l want to answer that question:
am not called upon to answer by the cir
cumstances of the situation. I was only
recently unanimously reelected president
OF the American Federation of Labor.

tiate these claims That the letters in
voIve a large number of people. some of
whom are prominent in the union labor
movement, was the Intimation given out
by the prosecutor.
Shortly after Fredericks told Of the
probable Federal investigation, he went
into conference with Assistant United
States Attorney r. 4. Regan. who is
in charge of the office while his chief is
in Washington. 1t was reported that
Regan had received telegraphic instruc-
tIons to go ahead with the investigation.
He refused to confirm this. The Federal
grar jury, which has been in session for
some time was called into session to-day
and adjourned until Thursday.
Although no statement was given out,
It is believed Fredericks will appear be-
fore the grand jury and make full
statement of the evidence he has in his
possession and assist Regain in the work.
The days activities began with the Frank
lin hearing. The case was called be-
fore Justice Young at 10 o'clock. Before
the hearing Attorney Lecompte Davis
called on FrederiCks. Later when the
hearing began Davis, though he had for
many withdrawn from the trial, sat
at the counsel table with former Gov.
Henry T. Gage.
Ford did not resist the motion but sug-
gested that the court concur in the re-
quest, and the case was set for Monday
at 10 o'clock.
After these proceedings District At
tOTney Fredericks was asked about the
moves he expected to make in the jury
bribery scandal
will you arrest Robert Balm since his
confession that he played a part in the
bribery sCandal?" he was asked.
FrederiCks replied that he would not do
so at this tive. II can get Balm when
ever he is waited" ne remarked.
Another Bribery Charge.
The district attorney stated fatty, how
ever. that there would be an arrest of
another Juror in the case against whom
his officers had secured evidence. unless
the man voluntarily came in and gave
himself up.
About two months ago Levering filed
charges with the Los Angeles Bar Asso-
citation against Clarence DarrOw in con-
nectiOn with the same claim. At the time
he asserted that Darrow asked for
commission on the work, and because he
refused to divide Levering asserts he re-
ceived nothing. The Bar Association took
no further notice of the charges than to
suggest to Levering that his best plan
of action NwOuld be to begin civil pro-
Ceedings That Samuel Gompers was
never told that the McNamaras were
guilty was a statement made tonight by
Attorney Darrow. He told of Gompers'
connection with the negotiations that
ended with the entering of the plea of
guilty by the McNamaras. When 1t be-
came apparent, Darrow said. that the
case against them was desperate, Oar
row telegraphed Gompers to send some
one whom he could trust to represent
him here Darrow said the telegram
did not state what was wanted. In re-
sponse however, Nockels came on from
Chicago. He was present during the ne
gotiations, and knew what was planned
and how II was carried out.

STOKES NOT ABLE
TO BE IN COURT
Trial of Show Girls Goes on
Nevertheless.

New York. Dec 4.-The trial of Lillian
Graham and Ethel Conrad. former show
girls, charged with shooting W. Z. D..
Stokes, was adjourned this afternoon
when Assistant District Attorney Buck
ner announced that the prosecution had
submitted all its evidence. When the
trial is resumed tomorrow morning the
young women will have their inning,
whether Mr.. stokes is in court or not.
The millionaire hotel owner was absent
again to-day. and physicians submitted
statements showing that his Illness is
SO grave that he may not be able to ap-
pear until Friday or later.
Testimony of police witnesses this
afternoon brought the prosecutions
case to a close. Mr.. Buckner had in
tended to continue his redirect exam
ination of Stokes. but abandoned his
intention and considered his case
rested.
Don't worry, dearie; | am lust as
much to blame as you; l shot him. too"
This was the statement of Ethel Conrad
to Miss Ora on the night Stokes was
wounded at the Varuna apartments, ac-
CurdinE to Walter S. Fisher, the first
witness called to-day.
Fisher said he was passing the apart
mcnt when attracted by the screams of
a woman. On entering the building he
met colorcd man who told him man
had been shot. He said he went upstairs,
and found Stokes lying on the floor and
d man had hold of his collar pulling him.
After helping 10 make Stokes comfort
able Fisher sad he went back into the
hail and there saw Miss Conrad and
Miss Graham. He said Miss Graham
was screaming al the top of her voice.
and that Miss Conrad had her arms about
her companions neck talking TO her
Among other soothing things she said.

GoMPERS SAYS BURNS
SPOKE FALSELY WHEN
HE ACCUSED HIM

New York, Dec. 4.-Samuel Gompers,
who for twenty-nine years has been the
dominating figure Of organized labor in
America. tonight reiterated with voice
and manner denoting great agitation the
denial that he had any knowledge of the
guilt of the Mcnamara brothers until
the confession was made public.
His attitude was seemingly an open
defiance Of public opinion. There was
also an apparent effort to exonerate
uniOnism from any blame for the atroci-
ties resulting from the trail of nitro
glyCerin and dynamite spread from the
Atlantic to the Pacific by the Mcnamara
gang for the defense of which he raised
fund of Sl9OOOO.
Accuses Detective Burns.
Detective Burns spoke falsely when
he charged that I had knowledge of the
guilt of these men all along,' said Mr..
GOmpers. He has said that 1 learned
the true facts when I attended the meet
ing between the heads of the interna-
tionaI unions at Indianapolis which was
for the purpose of raising funds to de-
fend the accused men.
While thus defending his position dur
ing the interview. which took place in
the lobby of the Hotel Victoria, Twenty
seventh street and Broadway, some aC-
QuaintanCe of GOmpers, hurrying by.
slapped the leader on the shoulder and
said:
Sam, I don't believe you are guilty"
Gompers jumped out from the circle
of newspaper men by whom he was
surrounded and shouted after his uniden-
titled friend:
''Who said I was guilty-and guilty OF
what?''
When he again faced the interviewers
GomperS brow was beaded with per-
spiration, and It was several moments
before he was sufficiently collected to
talk
He started off by referring again to
the Indianapolis meeting of union lead
ers by saying that he did not believe
single man who was there had any sus-
picion that the Mcnamara brothers and
their associates were guilty.
Were your suspicious not aroused
when you received the telegram from
Clarence Darrow. asking that you send
a representative to Los Angeles immedi-
ately to attend an important conference
concerning the case?" was asked.
'I attached no Importance to that tele
gram" replied Gompers. 1T came at
time when was very busy attending to
business connected with the convention
OF the American Federation of Labor at
Atlanta Ga. Only day or two before
l had received a telegram from the Nc
Namara boys, thanking the men in con-
vention for what had been done for them
and reassuring us of their innocence"
Defiant to Reporters.
DO you intend to institute an investi-
CATION that will restore the confidence
of the public at large in unionism?"
