GIANT BRIBE PLOT
ATTORNEY GENERAL AT LOS AN.
aELEs OUTLINES CASE AGAINST
CLARENCE BARROW.
ALTERNATE JUROR is CHOSEN
Completion of Jury Brings Out State
ment by Prosecutor Of Conspiracy
to Corrupt Mcnamara Witnesses
as Well as Talesmen.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 26.-Follow-
ing the selection on Friday Of A. M.
Blakesley, a hotel keeper, as the thir-
teenth or alternate Juror to try Clar-
ence Darrow on the charge of bribing
juryman in the Mcnamara case, John
D. Fredericks, the district attorney,
outlined the charges that the prosecu-
ton would attempt to prove.
He declared the state expected to
prove that among the detectives en-
ployed by Darrow, who was chief coun-
sci for the McNam0ras, were Bert
Franklin, Bert Hammerstrom and John
R. Harrington; that the defense knew
of Lockwood's name being In the jury
box; that Franklin went to Lockwood,
whom he knew, and offered him GER
tain sum of money If, when he was
called as a Juror and succeeded In
passing the examination. he would
vote not guilty.
1--WE will show that this was done
at the instance and request and under
directions of this defendant, Clarence
Darrow," said the district attorney.
Continuing, Mr.. Fredericks detailed
how Lockwood had reported Frank
| Inns proposition to his office and was
told to wait until he was summoned,
and see if anything developed. Lock
woods name, in due course OF time,
was drawn from the jury box.
Bert Franklin again appeared at his
house." said Fredericks, land renewed
his offer of bribe of $500 down, If
he would accept 1t and endeavor to
get on the jury, and promising him
$500 more after he had voted not
guilty on the jury"
He told how Lockwood parlied with
Franklin, made another appointment
with him; how Franklin went to Lock
woods ranch, and the district attor-
ney's officers secreted about the house
overheard Franklin's promise to meet
Lockwood at Third and Los Angeles
streets the next morning; that third
party by the name of G. E. White was
to be there and act as stakeholder.
This transaction, exactly as ar
ranged between the two, came off and
was observed, and they were arrested.
"The money was found on Franklin
and White. 1t was taken of, and we
will produce 1t here in court, and that
money, we will show you, was the
money of Clarence Darrow; that Clar-
ence Darrow gave 1t to Franklin that
morning. We will show you that that
money was a part of the money sent
to Clarence Darrow by the agents who
were employing Mr.. Darrow In this
case, In the east, and collected for the
purpose of defending the McNamaras.
I'VE will trace that money from that
fund into Mr.. Darrow's hands, and
show that Darrow went Frankltn's
bail and got him out of Jail tempo
rarily.
I'VE will next show that this act on
the part of Clarence Darrow was one
of series of efforts to pervert justice
in that case"
