when he leaves here by Malcolm Me-
l4aren the Burns detective who ar
rested him IN Detroit last Aprll and
who has been with him constantly
ever since, spending whole days with
him at time. The men have become
good friends and IL Is to MclAren that
McNangal has given day by day his
real confession.
There are lots Of things said
Mclaren tonight, which MeManigni
would not think important IN our
talks but which furnished the detec-
tives back east some busy times Time
and again McManlgal could not re-
member the name of the hotel where
he stopped IN certain cities, but he
could pretty nearly point 1t out on a
map, as his remembrance of the To-
cation at least would be good. We
would then make Il search of the ho-
tells In the district, thereby refresh
ing MeMangal's mind. Some times
he would not even remember then,
as he changed his name by nstrnc-
tlons from John J. Mcnamara IN
nearly every town. But even though
we had to search the registers OF
number Of towns. we have IN every
instance corrohoratcd MeManlgals
story BY hotel registers showing his
signatures
McIaren's reports Of what McMani-
gal was telling him IN the iail daily
since his arrival here on April 20,
covered on some occasions az much
as 5000 words ana these statements
have been turned over by the state
authorities to tho government.

as special government prosecutor as
sisted District ATTORNEY Frederlcks In
the prosecution Of the McNamaras.
He knows what McManigal has di-
vulged ana Is thoroughly familiar
with details OF the conspiraeles as
detailed by McManigal.
For this reason II is believed that

been finally determined by the de-
partment OF Justice at Washington
MtManigal simply viii be loaned 20

authorities here and after his trips
around the country giving testimony
he very likely will he released. He
win spend Il different Christmas,
however. this year than last, when he
placed dynamite under q part Of the
LleWeilyn Iron Works. For THIS
crime directed by j. j. Mcnamara,
MCManignl can be imprisoned for not
less than . year, but hts deteruons
by the authorities before they set
through with his testimony will be
equivalent 60 that ana no serious oh
iections To his release are expected
from anybody
He will he closely guarded how

the continent will be made In secret
twenty-five witnesses are expect
ed to appear before the grand jury
here this week.
So far as the investigation here IL
concerned. interest viii center In the
appearance Of some Of San Francis
co.'s labor leaders who have been
subpoenaea ana II is expected before
the week all important angles in the
Mcnamara cases will have vanished
SO far as the public here Is concern-
ed ns indictments are not expected
for several weeks. The grand jury
here II is thought will not return in
dictments until after the Indianapolis
probe is well under way.
As far as the government Is con-
Ccrned, II can make either Los Ange-
les or indianapolis the center Of its
activities but It Is believed that Los
Angeles business men have asked
that the honors be passed to Indian
apolis. Business men here declare
the Mcnamara eases have affected
the towns prosperity and they desire
that It be passed on.
