LOS ANGELES, May IA. - To-
morrow Clarence barrow faces
trial on a charge of having brib-
ed prospective jurors in the Nc
Namara case which resulted In
the sending of the Mcnamara
brot hers to the penitentiary upon
conviction and confession of hav-
ing dynamited the Los Angeles
Times, Oct. /. 1910. An unusual
ly large venire has been drawn
and the examination OF the tales
men will begin with the opening
of court.
barrow Is preparing to take an
active part in his own trial. He
shall make an argument to the
jury-possibly the closing appeal
| for his own acquittal.
barrow is confident of acquit-
tai. Il am absolutely sure of it,
he says. He also declares he Is
glad he will have an opportunity
to re-establish his reputation In
the eyes of the world.
District Attorney Fredericks,
who prosecuted the Mcnamara
case and who will take personal
charge of the barrow prosecu-
ton, declares that he has facts
in his possession which establish
Darrow's guilt.
IL Darrow is found guilty he
will face a five year sentence In
the penitentiary. He is also
charged on a second count with
having corruptly influenced one
drawn as Juror, the maximum
punishment for which is two
years and fine of $4,000.
1t will be great legal battle.
Darrow declares he will not put
forward a technical fight and is
willing to accept a verdict given
upon the facts presented.
Darrow's chief counsel is Earl
Rogers. Rogers is strong court
lawyer, being particularly clever
at cross-examination. Associated
with him are Judge Cyrus Nc
Mutt. of the Mcnamara case. W.
H. chm and w. II. Anderson, all
Hoo AhbOiVS dtbOi hSyb.
Associated with Dist. Atty.
Fredericks in the trial will be AS
sistant District Attorney Ford,
who played leading part In the
Mcnamara case.
The principal witness for the
prosecution will be Bert H.
Franklin, private detective, asso-
ciated with the Mcnamara de-
Tense, who pleaded guilty to hav-
ing bribed one of Mcnamara jur-
ors, Robt. F. Balm, and a pros
pective juror, Geo. N. Lockwood.
For the latter offense he was
fined $4,000. r'@9
Darrow's defense probably will
be that Franklin was paid de-
tective in the employ of Burns
detective agency.

destroyed the National Lumber
Co. mill with loss of 100000 and
the Big Creek shingle mill with
loss of over $4,000 and came
near wiping Alder off the map.

flames and soon had the woods
for miles around burning.
All telephone and telegraph
wires along the Tacoma Eastern
