AIDS DARROWS CASE
LINCOLN STEFFENS GIVES I'M
PoRTANT EVIDENCE.
Believed Testimony oof Magazine
Writer Will Be Deciding Factor
In Reaching a Verdict.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 19.-Lincoln
Steffens, writer on government, poll
tics and labor and the man who was
credited largely at the time with hav-
ing ought about the settlement Of
the Mcnamara cases, took the stand
for the defense in the bribery trial OF
Clarence S. Darrow, and gave impress
sive and in minute detail the history
of the McNamaras' pleas Of guilty.
Steffens testified that on Saturday
before the arrest of Bert Franklin, on
the following Tuesday, November 28,
Darrow consented that If it was neces-
sary in order to affect a settlement OF
the Mcnamara cases, he would let j.
]. Mcnamara plead guilty, as well as
]. B. Mcnamara.
Steffens testified further that this
decision Of Darrow was kept secret
between himself and Darrow, and he
went on representing to the citizens
committee, which he had interested in
the peace negotiations, that Darrow
would not agree to any terms that did
not include the discharge Of ]. ]. Nc
Namara.
Further, the witness testified that on
Sunday, November 26, he and Darrow
and former Judge Cyrus F. McNutt Of
the Mcnamara counsel, went to the
county Jail and disclosed the plans to
the McNamaras and secured their sep
arate consent to the plan which involv-
ed changing their pleas to guilty
Judge McNutt died since the begin
ming Of the Darrow trial. In conse-
quence Steffens' testimony on these
two facts, it seems, can, in the nature
Of things, have no other corroboration
than the testimony of Darrow himself.
If the jury believes Stetffens, his testi-
mony probably will become the decid-
ing factor in the verdict.

WOMAN ADMITS FATAL ERROR
Order That Caused BurIing-
ton Wreck.

Chicago, July PIT misunderstood
an order"
Mrs. Julia A. Wilcox, said to be a
former inmate of the hospital for the
insane at Dunning, ILL.,, and block
signal operator at Western Springs,
the scene of last Sundays wreck on
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad, accounted for the catastro-
phe. She said her error in telephone
order whereby she unnecessarily had
stopped two trains, had caused the
confusion which brought about the
collision.
Her admission was wrung from a
mass of evasive and argumentative
testimony given at the coroner's in
quest held at La Grange, ILL.,, on Thurs
day.
The inquest was a fourfold investi-
cation of the disaster In which thir-
teen lives were lost.
