Los Angeles. Cal, April so. - No
word has yet been received here dl-
rect from Clarence Darrow. the Chi
cago attorney, that he would under
take the defense of John and James
Mcnamara, and those interested in
the case of the accused dynamite con-
spirators said today they were there
fore at sea regarding possible acqui-
essence in an early arrnignment of the
prisoners.
Labor leaders here do not want the
men arraigned until Darrow is on the
ground. and the best information they
had today was that Darrow. instead
of coming here personally, had sent
a confidential representative to look
over the situation before he would
agree to accept the position OF chief
counsel. In consequence, the ar
raignment, scheduled to occur not
later than Wednesday, may be defer
red, and the district attorney Is ex-
peeted TO consent to the delay, as 1t
is understood he is not averse to hav-
ing further time to adjust various
technical points ON the states side
Of the case. These points are said to
concern the indictments against the
laccused men, which were drawn has
tily after Burns had taken James Nc
Namara and HcMangal into custody
at Detroit.
II was reported in official quarters
today that the arraignment might
await the arrival of attorneys repre-
senting the National Erectors assocla-
ton, who, 1t is said. will join District
Attorney Frederichs and his assistant,
w. j. Ford, IN the prosecution of the
McNamaras
In his alleged confession to the
prosecutor three days ago and his
subsequent refusal to see attorneys for
the defense McManigal is left out of
all consideration by the friends of
the Mcnamara brothers.
District Attorney Frederick spent
the day in the country and could not
be found to discuss the report con-
cerning the alleged legal aid from the
east.
The strike situation In the city ad-
ded to the perplexities OF the labor
leaders.
Anton Iohansen, of the state build
ing trades council and Joseph Gray,
president OF the Carpenters union,
who came down from San Francisco
TO direct the battle of the local car
penters for a higher wage and shorter
hours, were in conference with the
officials of the Los Angeles organiza-
ton most of the day. Andrew Gal
lagher, secretary treasurer of the San
Francisco labor council. had been here
three adys ago, II was said, and was
expected to return tonight or tomor-
row to join In the discussions OF whe-
ther a general strike should be called
to compel acceptance of the union de-
mands.
In the county Jail the McNamaras
and McaMnigal spent a quiet day
None received visitors.
All three rose early. and after cold
baths In the basement of the prison
displayed lively appetites at break
fast. At dinner each ate separately
under the eyes of Jailer Gallagher the
food having been purchased for them
outside. Roast beef, vegetables, fruit
and cake constituted the fare.
Divine services are conducted every
Sunday in the prison. but all three
prisoners declined with thanks the in
vltation of the missionary women to
attend.
The cell of each man Is well light
ed and all three spent the day with
magazines.
James Mcnamara entertained him.

ing an article on what a Thousand
Pounds of Dynamite Will Do
McManigal's preference seemingly
lay in narratives of adventure, and
the story he read this afternoon was
entitled Throwing Death Off the
Trail"
