DUAL DEFENSE IN
NJ 'NAMARA CASE
barrow Says Either Gas Ex-
pIOsiOn or Alibi Will
Be Urged.

Los ANGELES, Cal. Oct. H.
Speedy completion of the jury--that Is,
within a month or a little more-was
the outlook when the Mcnamara n,ur-
der trail opened here today. and predic-
tions that the trial would not end be-
fore May 1 were abbreviated cores
spondinglys
The examination of Talesman u. I.
Nelson has cleared the atmosphere, 1t
was agreed, by defining many issues in
volved in the effort to determine
whether James b. Mcnamara is guilty
of causing the death of Charles J. Hag-
gerty in the Los Angeles Times sxplo-
sion and fire.
Any talesman who believes the Vines
building was blown up by gas believes
Mcnamara innocent in the opinion ot
the defense. This position was takeo
by Attorney Clarence /. Darrow, chief
of counsel for the defense. and 1t is
noted by counsel for the State for future
use, in the belief that 1t can be made
serviceable to them in examination of
the talesmen whom the State believes
to be undesirable.
The defense may offer an alibi for
McNamara or may rest solely upon the
gas explosion theory, in support Of
which it has gone as far as Europe far
expert evidence.

EWARKER IN BIC
AUTO sMAsH-UP
Police Temporarily Baff1ed Be-
cause License Tag Was Re-
moved After Crash.

Bearing every evidence of having
about owned by John A McFadden. a
lawyer, with offices at II Clinton street,
lay deserted back of the sidewalk In
Lincoln Park, at Clinton avenue, cor
ner Spruce street, early today, with
the license tag removed. No report OF
the mysterious accident was made to
the police, and the fact that the license
was removed for time baff1ed them
In learning the identity of the owner.
At first the police thought some
driver had taken out his employer S
machine to give friends Joy ride,
but it was learned today that Mr.. Nc
Fadden himself was driving the car.
The speedometer on the auto regis
tered twenty miles nm hour. Ihe speed
limit under n city ordinance is twelve
miles an hour.
Patrolman Mcdonnell, of the First
Precinct, was sent out to investigate,
but the Identity of the owner was not
learned until Mr.. McFadden telephoned
to an automobile garage in Halsey
street and asked that the car be re-
moved from the scene of the accident.
At the home of Mr.. McFadden 1t WAS
said that he was not injured. The po-
lice, however. say that a man in the
auto was treated at local hospital for
injuries.
Mr. McFadden would not respond to
inquiries at his home, and did not ap-
pear at his office at the usual time.
His wife, however, admitted that he
was driving the machine.
The patrolman who investigated the
accident reported that the machine hit
a telegraph pole. Mrs. McFadden says
that her husband told her he ran into
a wagon.
That the impact of the collision was
terrific is indicated by the condition OF
the machine. The front is smashed and
one of the wheels torn off.
Mr.. McFadden was a Wilson League
candidate for the Assembly at the pri-
mary election.

emotion.
"Well,. you can have practically a life

because she did not wish to leave her
friends In the East. Since then the
couple have met twice; once a year ago
this month, and again last August
Although the absent husband asked
mis- wife to come to him every time he
wrote she replied that he ought to
return home, for he could do as well
here as in Chicago. Mrs. AFFORD ad-
mits that in one letter he threatened
her with divorce unless she complied
with his request.
Mrs. Grundy Takes Notice.
The neighborhood, however, and one
friendly woman in particular, have
long since warned Mrs. AFFORD that
the gossips We're talking. 1t was Mrs.
Charles w. Howell, of 30 Wakeman
avenue, who gave this warning
I'VE used to tease Mrs. AFFORD about
her clergyman friend" said Mrs How
ell I'VE used to tell her she was
crazy. We told her that the neighbors
were talking.
"Only recently she told me that her
mother, Mrs. Huey, of New York, had
told her that she must never entertain
this man again.
Zone night her brother, DIR. Arthur
J. Huey, of Is Central Park west,
found the clergyman at his sisters
home very late in the evening.
Mrs AFFORD admitted that the min
lister had called on her frequently and
that they were very good friends.
But" she aggressively asserted,
"why should he not be, and why should
neighbors talk about me? l do not
know If my husband will sue me for
divorce, although he intimated it. My
only thought is for my children. What
will become of them? I have three"
She disliked change and her hus-
band was never satisfied, she said, to
stay long in one place. She did not
like to leave her friends and preferred
to live alone rather than go west with
her husband Mr. AFFORD wanted his
family with him.
Mrs. AFFORD is well connected, being
related to prominent persons in New
York and Newark. One of her uncles
is a prominent New York clergyman.
Should her husband sue she says she
will fight
She has not heard from her husband
since August, although at the time he
left Mrs. AFFORD believed he would re-
turn soon and accept a position in
Schenectady, N. Y.
The AFFORD home is a neatly fur
nished apartment in a two-family
house. The money with which to pro-
vide for the family. was supplied from
time TO time by Mr.. AFFORD, but in

she received no money and had to get
along las best she could"

GERMAN MARINES
IN HANKOW FIGHT
BIue=Jackets Land and Battle
With Chinese Mob on
Streets.

BERLIN, Oct 17-Advices received
at the foreign office from Hankow to-
day report that German force of blue
jackets, reinforced by German local
residents, have been landed at Han
kow and are now engaged in fighting
in the streets with Chinese mob.
The official report states that de-
tachments were landed from the cruiser
Leipsic and the gunboats Tiger and
Vaterland. Members of the German
colony volunteered to support the ma
rlnes.
The large German cruiser Gneisenau
will arrive at Hankow tomorrow with
Admiral Won Krosigk, commander
of the German Asiastic squadron. As
the German vicc-admiral has a rank
superior to that of the American ad-
nliral it is probable that he will su-
persede the latter In chief command
of the international naval forces.
A German torpedo boat is accom-
panying the Gneisenau to Hankow.
Die Post, commenting this afternoon
on developments at Hankow, attacks
the United States on the ground that
that country is trying to play too big
a role in the situation. other powers,
the paper says, have more important
forces and commercial in
terests in China and should take the
lead in protective measures.
