DARROW'S CAREER.

The accused labor lawyer, who
is now 55 years old, was admit
ted to the bar in 1875, and al
most Immediately jumped into
prominence as an advocate of
labor. He possesses an orator.
cal gift that has won him the rep
utation Of being one of the most
effective jury pleaders in the
United States and his knowledge
of law is acknowledged to be sec
ond to none in the ranks of labor
counsel.
His most noted cases have
been the Chicago litigation
against the socalled gas trust,
the Debs strike case, the coal
strike arbitration in 1902, and
defense of Meyer, Haywood and
Pettibone, who were charged
with numbering Governor Steu-
enberg. barrow secured the ac-
quittal of the accused murderers
of Steuenberg, and Immediately
leaped into national prominence
as a lawyer.
When the McNamaras were ar

upon to defend them against the
much heralded persecution of
capital, " and undertook the task
on an agreement which is rumor-
ed to have included a $50, 900 re-

every day he spent in court. A
fund of over 100000 was raised

Clarence barrow Not Guilty.

Los Angeles, CAL, Aug. IT,
Clarence barrow, the noted Chi
cago labor lawyer, was, today.
found not guilty Of the charge of
attempting to bride a juror in the
Mcnamara murder case. The
jury in his case was out but thir-
ty-four minutes.
The Indictment and trial of
Clarence barrow, the famous
criminal lawyer on the charge of
attempting to bride juror, came
as a startling sequence to the
now famous Mcnamara dynami-
ting case.
1t was on December 1st. 1911,
that John j. and James B. Nc
Namara pleaded guilty to the
charge of murder in cnnnection
with the dynamiting of the Los
Angeles Times building, and
were sentenced to fifteen years
and life Imprisonment, respect
lively. The great trial had been
under way only six weeks and
the attorneys for both sides were
still wrangling over the selection
of a jury when the startling an
nouncement was made that the
prisoners would plead guilty to
the charge.
barrow, who had full charge
of the defense of the prisoners,
had carried on a magnif cent
fight during every step of the
proceedings, but he became con-
WINGED that the evidence the
prosecution had was overwhelm-
ing.
On January 20, two indict-
ments were entered agai nst him
containing four counts. Two of
these counts charged the lawyer
with the bribery and attempted
corruption Of Robert Balm, the
first juror sworn to try James B.
Mcnamara, the confessed dyna-
inter and murderer now serving
a term in San Quentin prison.
The remaining two counts alleged
the bribery and corruption of
George N. Lockwood, a venire-
man summoned in the McNama-
IA case.
barrow was arraigned on Feb
ruary |, and his attorneys imme-
dlately entered motions before
the court to set aside the first in
dictment and quash the second
on the ground that the evidence
was insufficient and did not set
forth facts providing the char
ges.
After a consideration of these
motion, the Darrow attorneys
were called before the Court on
February 3, and the motions were
formally denied. barrow then
entered a formal plea of not gull
ty, and was released under a
heavy bail. His trial was set for
May 18th.

BASE BALL BRIEFS.

The Chicago Cubs and the Pittsburgh

his share OF shining.
Two weeks ago the Detroit Tigers asked

and held Cleveland to three safeties, and
now everybody wants him and nobody
will get him. Such is base ball
