Los Angeles, Dec 5.-The bargain
was kept!
The promises made by counsel for
the Mcnamara brothers by the big
business men of Los Angeles who
wanted the case disposed of prior to,
the municipal election in this city
were kept today by District Attorney
Fredericks and Judge Bordwell
James b. Mcnamara, confessed
slayer of 21 innocent workers, was
sentenced by Judge Bordwell to San
Quentin prison for life. His brother,
John ]. Mcnamara, secretary-treas-
urer Of the International Association
of Bridge and Structural Iron Work
ers, was sent to the same prison for
IS years.
II the men live and prove exem-
plary prisoners, they will come un-
der the operation Of the state parole
law within seven years
The scees In connection with the
sentencing were theatrical in the ex-
treme Because Judge Bordwell
feared that something might happen
to mar the peace, Re took extra pre-
cautions to prevent any disturbance,
Are Broken SDIrlted,
When the two men were finally
smuggled into the small criminal
courtroom in the Hall of Justice they
were badly broken men.
All Of the bravado, swagger and de-
hance was gone from their manner,
and James b. Mcnamara especially
was in very bad way. He shook
and trembled when he first stood up
to hear his doom, but later partially
reganed his compOsure.
Judge Bordwells excorlatlon of
James B. Mcnamara was bitter in the
extreme. After asking him whether
he had not at first tried to get dyna-
mite of a higher explosive character
than 10 per cent and receiving neg
atlve answer, Bordwell then said:
There is no comfort in the asser-
tion that you did not intend to take
life The widows orphans and the
parents of the victims would look
upon that statement at this time as a
mockery.
"The circumstances are against
you in making any such claim. A
man who would put 1G sticks of 80
per cent dynamite in building
which was filled with combustiyes
and which known to you as a printer
to be such, meant only murder and
nothing else. It is not extenuating
circumstances 10 this court to hear
you say that you did not intend to
kill anyone. There is no question In
the mind OF the court that you are a
murderer, and as such should be
punished.
Calls Him Murderer.
James b. Mcnamara, you are a
murderer at heart, and wen deserve
the gallows but In view Di the recon-
mendation Of the state the judgment
OF the court in your case Is that you
be confined IN the state prison at
San Quentin for the balance Of your
natural life"
The courts scathlng arraignment Of
Mcnamara followed closely on the
suggestion Of the district attorney
that the penalty be life imprisonment.
In making that suggestion Freder-
icks said that there were two pun
ishments for first degree murder and,
In the opinion Of many one was as
severe as the other

guilty" he said, 1T Is customary for
