VIII Tell All the Facts.
1t will be the first opportunity
Mr.. Lawler win have had to talk
with President Taft about the dyna-
mlting conspiracy since October 16,
few days after the Mcnamara trial
began, when the president was on
speaking tour in California.
that tipna Mr. Iomlat nroeca1
upon the president that not only the
McNamaras We're guilty but violations
of the statutes had been violated in
connection with the explosions from
coast to coast in the last three years.
The governments investigation there
upon was ordered by the president
to begin at indianapolis, but to be
taken up in California only after the
Mcnamara trial was concluded by
the state authorities
Took Papers With Him.
Mr.. Lawler took with him many
important books and papers which
he will exhibit personally to officials
of the department Of justice.
Many of McManigal's confessions
as 1t was not believed advisable to
transmit them by mail because Of
the many persons through whose
hands they might pass before reach
ing the president and the department.
The attorney general will return here
some time next week in the inves-
legations now going on, and while
McManigal is before the inyesti-
gators
McManlgal Arrives Sunday.
McManigal is expected here on
Sunday Admittedly the govern
ments most important witness, he is
expected to relate to the minutest de-
tail the story of his two years eX-
perience in dynamltng at the dlrec-
iion of John j. Mcnamara. secretary
of the international association Of
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers.
and to tell with whom he was asso-
'iated in causing explosions.
1t was learned today that prepar-
ntions to guard Mechanical in the
federal building have resulted not
)nly from the desire to protect him
from possible enemies but to pre-
vent any interference from the coun-
~ authorities. He therefore will be
tept on federal territory instead Of
1t the county jail. where county Off
'ers could interrogate him or pos
iibly answer him for alleged viola
ion Of offenses. He is not under fed
raj indictment. but is subject to
subpoena in this jurisdiction. This
$ an echo of the friction between
Prosecutor Frank p. Baker. and the
California authorizes over the re-
uoyal Of evidence to the coast.
