PROSECUTOR is
SEVERE IN HIS
DENUNCIATECNS

Los Angeles, Calf. Auc. 16.--
There was no desire on his part to
protect the local attorneys of the Nc
Namara defense in the bribery scan
dal according to District Attorney
Fredericks, who resumed today his
closing argument in the trial OF Clar-
ence S. Darrow.
The defendant had charged that the
district attorney held his former as
scciates immune from prosecution be-
cause they lived in Los Angeles and
he, DafrOW, was stranger.
Captain Fredericks declared that
the bribery must have been instigat-
ed by an attorney in the Mcnamara
case, but that none of the attorneys
knew what Bert Franklin the briber,
was doing but Darrow.
Fredericks attacked the important
witnesses for the defense branding
most of them as perjurers, the half
dozen newspaper men who impeache>'
Franklin's testimony al~~e having
been absolved from that ctaracteriza-
ton.
The prosecutor then went into an
analysis Of the states evidence as to
the various alleged offenses charged
against Darrow during his preparation
OF the Mcnamara case.
There was not week during that
time,' declared Fredericks, that the
defendant was not committing some
crime against Justice
