LEGAL sNARL MAY
WIN IMMUNITY
FOR DARR0W
Complications In Case of Law
yer Accused of Jury Bribery
in Mcnamara Case Puzzle
Prosecution,
my Morning Journal Special Leased wire. !

hOruiuS spcCiai
Los Angeles March 2.--The jury
bribery indictments against Clarence
S. Darrow former chief counsel for
the Mcnamara brothers, became so
enmeshed in legal tangles today that.
according to attorneys, there is a pos
sibility that all charges may be dis
missed.
The complications arose when At
torney Earl Rogers, representing Dar-
row, refused to accept fragmentary
notes of the testimony. as a eompi-
ance with a court order that the dis
trict attorney supply the defense with
. fun transcript of the evidence on
which the grand jury had indicted
Darrow.
Declaring that fun transcript was
not to be had because all the testi-
mony had not been taken by the Of
fetal stenographer, District ATTORNEY
Fredericks announced that he would
paw no more attention to the indict-
ments and have Darrow rearrested on
informations, as was done in the case
of Bert Franklin. the Mcnamara de-
tective who was fined $4,000 yester-
day after entering plea of guilty TO
tIfe charge that he had attempted to
influence a Juror in the Mcnamara
this iuncture. however. leaving "A
doubt as to whether such an arrest
could be made in view OF the fact that
Darrow was under Indictment for the
alleged offense. Then Judge Hutton
who first ruled that the partial tran
scrjpt was sufficient and reversed
h;,aself last week, added further com
plications by naming March II as the
date when the accused lawyer should
appear in court to have his case set
for trial
When court adjourned the case was
LEFT in a condition that puzzled the
a attorneys for both sides. AS it stands,
according to counsel, the prosecutor
cannn. send the case back to the grand
Jury because the conditions developed
ore not covered by the penal toie.
He ,nnrot arrest Darrow on Informal
tlons because of the fact that he has
been Indicted and. finally fun tran
script of the jury evidence which
Fredericks declares cannot be pro-
must be handed to the defense
five DAYS before Darrow is brought
into court to have his trial date set
pistrict Attorney Fredericks ana
his assistants were wrestling with the
problem all this afternoon. II was
stated however. that some mode OF
procedure would be mapped out by
MonfaN.

P 0 P { PASSES HIS
BIRTHDAY--IN FEE
BE HEALTH.


New York, June "A cable
gram to the Sun from Rome says:
This is the Pope birthday. He is
seventy-seven years of age. He
passed the day quietly, going
through his regular Sunday rout-
inc. Although he is apparently
in good health, and his capacity
for work is still undiminished,
there is no denying that old age
has set in and the signs are pro-
nounced, although his appearance
has not changed. His face does
not betray his symptoms. He is
Inclined to grow fat, however,
and for the last six months he
has had no exercise and oecupa-
tons have been exclusively seslen-
tary. After his daily audiences.
which take up the whole Of the
forenoon, he has until recently
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1912-06-08

spent the afternoons andevenings
in his private library working and
praying, taking a rest at rare,
short intervals. During the past
week he has driven around the
Vatican gardens for abont half
an hour. He objects to being
carried in the sedan chair, which
he says gives him the feeling of
seasickness and for that reason a
tunnel has been opened between
the courtyard and Damascus and
the Vatican garden, so that now
the Holy Father takes an elevator
from his private apartment to the
courtyard where a carriage is
waiting for him.
Some days ago the Pope left the
carriage and took a walk in a Sc
cluded corner. The exercise gave
him such alasting sense of fatigue
that he has decided not to attempt
walking again.
Prof. Marchiafava, the Pope's
leading physician, hopes that the
life of the Holy Father may be
prolonged for some time. While
the Pope does not cling to life it
is still possible that the progress
of natural decay may be delayed
for years. The doctor fears that
any slight illness, as it may be
his last.

ANOTHER AVIATOR
PLUNGES TO DEATH.

North Yakima, WaSn., June z.
a smile and a wave of his
hand to thousands who watched
him in his aeroplane, Phillip @.
ParmaIee took the air in the
teeth Of gusty wind here yester-
day afternoon. Three minutes
later his broken and lifeless body
was dragged from beneath the
Wreckage of his biplane in an
apple orchard, two miles from
his starting point.
The exact cause of the plunge
to death will probably never be
KNOWN
AS he arose from the fair
grounds, Parmalee swung to the
west over North Yakima. He
arose to a height of about 400
feet and his speed increased to
almost a mile a minute, although
it was noticed that his plane dip
ped and rolled and seemed to be
controlled with difficulty.
After he had gone about two
miles from the fair grounds, he
swung in a wide circle to the
eastward for the return journey.
AS he squared away before the
wind the great plane checked it's
course; futtered a second like a
wounded bird and plunged below
the line of trees.
It was thought by Parmalee's
mechanicians that a gust from
one of the draws or small cam
yons that notch the sides of the
valley, struck the machine and
rendered the elevating planes I'M
manageable.
The body of the aviator was
dragged from beneath the wreck
age of the machine by farmers
who were working in the or
chard. His skull was fractured
and he mist have died Instantly.
Among the first from the fair
grounds to reach the place of the
fall was Miss G. e.
Turpin, a sister of J. Clifford
Turpin, his partner in aviation.
She Historically threw her arms
about Parmalee, insisting that he
was not dead. Even after the
body had been examined by ply
sicians, she believed that a spark
of life remained and demanded
that efforts be made to resusci-
tate him.
You remember how it was
with Hamilton" she repeated
over and over again. She re-
to leave the body until it
was necessary to turn it over to
the undertakers.
Before preparing for his fight,
Parmalee was urged to postpone
the exhibition, at least until the
wind Quoted, but he laughed at
the persistent and fatal misfor-
tune that had logged aviators
for the last week and climbed to
his seat.
j. Clifford Turpin is expected
to arrive from Seattle to take
charge of Parmalee's body.
The biplane was SO crushed
that mechanicians were unable
to trace definitely the cause of
its fall.
Philip O. Parmalee was re-
garded by experts as the safest
of American aviators, as well
as the most successful, and
among the most successful fnan-
cially among those employed by
the Wrights. He is said to have
earned S197, 900 for the Wright
during 1911 and he quit
their employ only a few weeks
ago.
