REALIZED CASE IS HOPELESS
Leading Attorney for Defense
Tells Of Terrible Strain Through
Which He Passed When He
Discovered Amount of Evidence
Against His Clients in Hands
of State.

Los Angeles, Dec. 2.--The sensation
Of the day is the confession Of the
Mcnamara brothers. James B., on
trial for the murder Of Charles Hag-
gerty, one of the victims OF the
Times explosion, changed his plea to
guilty, and John j., awaiting trial on
charge of completely in the dyna
hitting of the Llewellyn iron works,
also admitted his guilt. Both men
withdrew their previous pleas Of not
guilty.
Judge Bordwell sams into court
with rush. He advanced to the
bench, slammed down a book and his
notes and sat down with frown
ON his face. As il his custom, he
entered the case "Ths People of the
State of California vs.. J. B. Ne
Namara, charged with murder. De-
fendant in court. Are yoa ready to
proceed. gentlemenT
Just previous to his entrance to
courtroom Judge Bordwen had called
the district attorney inte conference
with him. Evidently the district at
torney had told him what the deveh
opments were.
LeCompte Davis Of counsel for tho
defense arose from his chair as the
Judge finished his statement. He
| said:
| after long consideration of this
| naoo 40 a. pIaocac vp,r honor ana af.
ter consulting with counsel in this
case, we have come to the conclusion
that we shall enter a plea Of guilty"
There was a stir in the courtroom
as Mr.. Davis finished his brief state.
ment. Then the district attorney
went to his seat, stepped over to the
| Judges bench and asked the court for
the indictment in the case.
"You have heretofore pleaded not
guilty to this indictment, have you
not, Mr.. ]. b. Mcnamara" u have
was the brief reply.
"Guiity," He Replied.
"How do you now wish to plead to
this charger" asked the district at
torney. James B. McNamara's face
paled as never before under the
stress of the situation. Guilty" he
replied.
Directing his attention once more
to the court, the district attorney
asked If he wished at this time tc
set the date for sentence. Judge
Bordwell looked at the district attor
ney, glanced at his calendar AM
then to Mcnamara, and said: 81 fiji
the date for pronounning judgment a
10 o'clock Tuesday, Dee. s."
J. j. Mcnamara then was sum
moned before the bench. District AT

ment No. 6955. ffe said:

IS ARRESTED
Mrs. Alice Fish Taken Into
custody Wednesday
And Admits She Stole From
Two Dry Goods Stores
Justice Hartef DeferS Sent.

As A More Serious Charge

The Sum OF S3LO

Mrs Alice Fish Of Cottage street
was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Wooli-
son late Wednesday afternoon on two
charges of petit larceny, the afiidavits
having been made by Ralph G. Ring
walt and Alva Dowds.
The affidavits charging Mrs. Fish
with petit larceny were the outcome
of shop-lifting which is alleged to have
occurred about two weeks ago.
At that time the Ringwalt company
discovered that some valuable table
cloths, center pieces and other linen
articles had been missing and suspi-
cion rested upon Mrs. Fish She was
summoned to the Ringwalt store but
denied her guilt. Mr.. Ringwalt allow
ed the woman to go, but stated to her
that he would further investigate the
case.
On Tuesday it was discovered that
Mrs. Fish was selling table cloths and
other linen articles to acquaintances.
She told the purchasers that the goods
had been sent to her by an uncle in
Akron and that she had been told to
sell them.
This information reached Mr.. Ring
walt Wednesday and in the afternoon
MIR, Il. c. Curtis of the Ringwalt Com
pany and Mr.. A. A. Dowds of the
Dowds Dry Goods Company visited
the Fish home on Cottage street and
there identified goods which had been
the property Of both stores. Mrs. Fish
still insisted that she had received
the goods from relative at Akron.
MIR. Ringwalt and Mr.. Dowds late
Wednesday afternoon appeared be-
fore Squire George s. Harter and
Swore to affidavits, charging Mrs. Fish
with petit larceny. Deputy Sheriff
tWoolison made the arrest and the de
fendant was taken to the office of the
Justice where she finally entered q
plea of guilty and said she had stolen
the goods.
Squire Harter deferred sentencing
the woman until December IL, and
admitted her to bond in the sum o.
$500, which was signed by relatives
Sentence was deferred for the reason
that more goods are being identified
which have been stolen from Mt. Yer
non stores and 1t Is probable tina
o charge of grand larceny will b.
placed against the woman before tina
time.
In addition to the goods identified
at the Fish home which had beel
stolen from the RiEgwalt and Dowd
stores there were articles which repre-
sentatives of these stores were un
able to identify and which may hav
been taken from other stores in MI
Vernon.
The management of several store
have suspicioned during the past se'
eral weeks that goods have been sto
en- by shop-lifters and close invest
cation of affairs led to the arrest G
Wednesday.
