LOS ANGELES. Aug. 16-The case of Darrow for bribery will not go to
 the jury until tomorrow morning. Dis-
 trict Attorney Fredericks did not con-
 clude his final argument for the prose-
 cution until 4:40 D. m. and Judge Hut
 ton announced that because of the
 lateness of the hour he would not in-
 struct the jury until morning.
 District Attorney Fredericks closed
 his argument which had extended
 through a day and a half with an
 earnest eXhortation to the jury to
 convict the Chicago lawyer. set aside
 their sympathy for him and by find-
 ing him guilty, put an end forever to
 the corruption of juries.
 If by reason of his age" he said.
 ''Or for any other reason, you think he is entitled to consideration and clem- ency let the court extend it. Gentle- men, I leave it with you and your God. You can't make any mistake if you find Darrow guilty
 In the final summing up of the evi- dence Fredericks read list of twen- ty-tWo alleged crimes which he said 1 had been committed by Darrow during his prepa ation of the McNamara. case. These included telephone warning to several jurors considered hostile to the defense, and the procur- ing of Sl0.000 in currency from a San l Francisco bank for alleged corrupt purposes.
 The chief prosecutor declared that l if Darrow was not convicted jury l bribing would be made safe forever. | No jury he said could ever get a stronger. clearer case than that which | had been presented in this instance. Speaking of the manner in which Darrows closing plea affected the ! jury Fredericks called upon the jurors l to be strong men, in the name of the state, in the name of decency.' George Washington wept when he | signed the death warrant of Major l Andre. You men must do your sworn | duty although it affects you likewise" During the day the prosecutor was | frequently interrupted by the attor neys for the defense or the defendant 1 himself who complained that he had l either misread evidence to the jury | or made statements outside the evil l dence. Stung by a series of inter- 1 ruptions in the afternoon session Fredercks declared that the attorneys 1 for the defense were laundering" him because they do not want the jury to i hear what he had to say and he asked 1 the court to silence them.
 l Much time was devoted to the oft-
 discussed peace negotiations" in the 1 McNamara case. the speaker declaring l on one occasion that had George
 Lockwood accepted the bribe offered 1 him instead of reporting it to the dis
 trict attorney. there never would have
 been a settlement as the defense 1 jury. The testimony of the defense
 witnesses that both the McNamaras
 were willing to plead guilty week before the continuation of the trial | was denounced as absurd.
 | They were willing to let the poor wretch. J. B. McNamara. go to the gallows if necessary said Fredericks. 1 but they did not want to throw in II J J. McNamara because that would II have meant the throwing in of union
 labor and they did not want to throw
 organized labor to the wolves, as they | have termed it.
 The entire negotiation for the com promise pleas, according to the dis | trict attorney, was merely scheme of putting to sleep" the authorities. l while the friends of the McNamaras got whom they wanted on the jury.
