He was accompanied by Anton

Before going TO his Offices in the
Metropolis Bank building, where the
state building trades headquarters are
located. Tveitmoe called Up the home
of Eugene A Clancy. the vice president
of the Structural Iron Workers Inter-
national union, who is codefendant
with him under the federal indictments
charging conspiracy to transport dyna-
mite in the Los Angeles case, and asked
permission of Mrs. Clancy and Miss
knight, the nurse, to visit his sick col
league. C1ancy's condition was such
yesterday morning that at first the
visit was not deemed advisable. but
Miss knight said that Tveitmoe might
spend a few minutes with her patient.
With Johansen and Mrs. Johansen
Tveitmoe went to the Clancy home at
27 Excelsior avenue before attending
to any other matters and spent a short
time with the stricken man.
Friendly Visit to Clancy
MFR. ana Mrs Johansen and Mr..
Tveftmoe came here yesterday" said
Mrs Clancy last night, .'and the object
Of their call was to pay friendly visit
to my husband. think II was very nice
Of them. and I am always glad to see

Mrs. .Johansen and I are very good
friends, and have been for some time"
Leaving the Clancy home, Tveitmoe
and Johansen went to the Metropolis
Bank building. Mayor P. III. Mccarthy
was visitor at the place a short time
after they arrived. and several others

circulated concerning the latest devel-
opments in this case. From beginning

.The Wilson who busted himself in
the cases in Los Angeles is Stanley B.
Wilson, about whom we shall hear
more later He is the man Wilson who
went to Captain F1ammer about the
matters
Letter to Mcnamara Denied
1t was with decided emphasis that
Tveitmoe denied the story Of the ex-
istence of letter supposed to have
been written by him to J. J. Mcnamara
preceding the blowing up of the Times
building, in which he asked the In
dianapolis man to send on your
wreckers."
THAT is lie. plain and simple. A
lie, I tell you. No man who ever
breathed ever saw that request written
to any other man over my signature
at any place at any time. There never
was such letter and there is not now
any such letter. That settles that
TT is ridiculous to say that I asked
J. J. Mcnamara to send his brother.
r. B.. out to this city to me. + never
saw j. b. Mcnamara in my life.
never met him here or at any other
geles at the time he is supposed to
have been there, but do not know that

Angeles strike COMMITTEES and / had a
great deal Of business to attend to in
Los Angeles last year. It IS therefore
possible that was in that city while
Mcnamara was there
