the local attorneys of the Mcnamara
defense in the bribery scandal, ac-

ger.
Fredericks declared that the brib-
cry must have been instigated by an

that none of the attorneys knew what
Franklin. the briber, was doing but
Darrow.
Fredericks attacked important wit

most of them as perjurors, half
dozen newspaper men who impeached
Franklin's testimony alone having
been absolved from that characters
zation.
The prosecutor then went into an
