QUITE AN ELECTRIC AFFAIR

arraignment this afternoon of j. ].
Mcnamara, Indianapolis Union Of
fetal, and his brother. ]. B. Nc
Namara, each on 10 indictments
charging murder in connection with
the Los Angeles Times disaster. was
an electric affair, but of the static
rather than the active type. "
The men were arraigned on new
indictments handed down by the
grand Jury this morning, which
charged the two McNamaras, Will
lam Captain, M. A. Schmidt, John
Doe, Jane Done, Richard Roe and
John Stiles with the murder OF IL
persons. who lost their lives in the
EXPLOSION and fire on October last.
The name of Ortie Mechanical was
not mentioned.
Attorney Rappaport had the pros
ecution guessing" when he asked
what was going to be done about
the OTlBlUdi WI
the McNamaras were arrested.
LET them be arraigned on those
indictments" he said, "or else
quash them"
The District Attorney replied that
those indictments we're on file and
would remain so, whereupon Kappa
mort announced he would take ac-
ton regarding them later.
The actual arraignment, which
included the reading of 10 indict-
ments charging murder to each OF
the brothers, was attended with
more nervousness on the part of the
1 District Attorneys stan than was
evidenced by the McNamaras.

composed and regarded everything
with an unworried eye. He was ex-
ceedingly dapper in gray suit
Just the shade of his hair, by the
way-and looked as though he had
lust come from a high-class outfit
ter. AS he stood 'at arraignment
he made a massive Leonine picture
of a man comparing very advantage
ously to himself with the officials
around him.
j. B. Mcnamara smiled a good
aaal but his hands, which were be-
hind him while he was standing
q twitched and nervously rubbed to-
gether.
\ vowever, when he took his seat
beside his brother, he smiled over at
him many times and made BRIEF
whispered remarks which were un-
heard by others.
The court room was jammed with
people, all but two of them men,
and most of them obviously laboring
men, when the brothers were led
in by Sheriff w. A. Hammel and at
tended by a dozen officers. There
was no demonstration beyond the
business of every one to get the
best look possible.
No plea was entered to-day, At
torney Rappaport having asked for
and obtained postponement of this
next step in the case until June 1.
