McManigal Talks

(By United Press Leased Wire.
LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. t.
Captain George J. Gallagher, Jail
er at the county jail, was informed
by the Mcnamara brothers TO-DAY
that they would not make any
statement to the federal grand
jury now In issue regarding the al
legged countrywide dynamite con-
spiracy, the probe of which by the
federal authorities began here to-
day.
The men are held at the jail by
the sheriff under instructions
from the federal authorities. 1t
is reported that Oscar Lawrer, in
charge of the prosecution, will
call John J. Mcnamara at least
during the day and give him the
opportunity of flatly refusing TO
testify.
Reagan and Oscar Lawler, the
special agent in charge OF the
Iprobe, conferred, while picked
men carried TO the grand Jury
room books, papers and all evi-
dence which was to be considered.
Clarence Darrow positively as
serted that neither John J. nor
James b. Mcnamara would in any
way aid the government.
"They won't sell out" was all
that Darrow would say.
"You will simply be to the trou-
BILE of taking us through the
crowds and back again." said John
u. Mcnamara, whose story is the
real one the federal probers would
| like to have.

ing to tell, and If had I would
not aid these people In any way,
Neither their threats nor thefI
promises will have any effect on
me, or Jim either for that matter. :

There she met Sam Plastino,
well dressed, entertaining, with
dark eyes set beneath black wavy
hair in rosy face that only
comes from Italy. He had money
and lavished 1t on ner. They
danced together often, they had
late suppers.
Three months later she was in
a house in Seattle and Sam Plas-
tino, she says, Dragged she had
earned for him over $500. They
went to San Francisco. Sam took
the money away as fast as she re-

downfall. They informed Uncle

The embezzlement case against
Meyer Cohen, moving picture

went to the jury today.
The defense gave no testimony,
Atty. Lefebvre relying on his plea
that the case was really a civil one.
Cohen has repaid all the money
except $780," he said, "and the
lodge refused to accept that"

it is said, charged with taking $400
of the missing money, went on the

testimony was ruled out. After

the quick divorce fame.
