0rtie M'MannigaI NarrateS at
Trial Part He Played
in Plots.

Los ANGELES. Calf. Dec. 3
Ortie Mechanical began Wednesday
on the witness stand in the Schmidt
trial the long deferred narration of
his part in the dynamite plot,
story that would have been told by
him i've years ago in the Mcnamara
trial, except for the inrerpositiOn OF
the plea OF guilty by the McNamaras.
Mechanical made such progress
with his story Wednesday that Dist.
Atty. WOolwine expects 10 finish the
direct Thursday
Numerous references by McManni-
gal 10 the presence of his wife at
meetings between himself and Her
bert S. Hockin, and himself and J.
b. Mcnamara suggested that Mrs.
Mechanical would be called as
witness for the state.
Beginning with his first Job" OF
dynamiting in Detroit in 1907, Nc
Mannigal testified TO dynamiting
after dynamiting down TO June 20,
1910. when he and ]. 3. Mcnamara
blew up a pile Of building material
in Cleveland.
Was Double Crossed"
McMannigal told of dynamitings
as if they might have been mere
snowballings Of dignified old gentle
men. His greatest show OF feeling
was when he talked of the manner
in which Herbert s. Hockin double
crossed" him in the matter Of pay,
deserving him in that way of a total
Of 1925 Of his hard-earned wages as
an honest dynamiter.
Schmidt was tense throughout the
day and stared at McMannigal with
manifest hate.
The great moments of McManni-
gals story were those in which he
told of meetings and conversations
with ]. B. Mcnamara, whom
Schmidt is accused Of helping to get
the high explosives with which he
blew up the Los Angeles newspaper
plant on Oct. 1, 1910, and killed
Charles Haggerty and 10 others.
Among these came in importance his
accounts of meetings with ]. J. Nc
Namara, the arch-plOtter, who sent
his brother to the California job.
Met at Muncie.
McMannigal told of his first meet
ing with ]. b. Mcnamara, in the
lobby of the Braun hotel in Muncie.
Ind, Dec. 9. 1909. He was intro
duced as Miller and Mcnamara as
Brice. McMannigal identified on
the hotel register McNamara's reg
istration as -. B. Brice," his own
as Charles Miller" and Hockin's as
Charles Clark"
That night in my ROOM" said
McMannigal, ~. b. Mcnamara de-
scribed his invention to me. He
demonstrated it, using a lead pencil
to represent the dry battery and his
watch to represent the alarm clock"
At a meeting of himself, j. B. Nc
Namara and Hockin in McManni-
gals fiat in Chicago about April %,
1910, he said Mcnamara told him he
was the man who dynamited the
Hotel Utah in salt Lake City a few
days before. June II, the witness
testified. he and ]. y. went to Gin
cinnati 10 meet Hockin, in response
to a telegram. and HOckin arranged
for them TO work together. He sent
them by way Of Indianapolis to get
nitro-g lycerin and Internal ma
chimes. McMannigal said that u.
j turned over to them three four
quart cans Of nitro-glycerin that he
had packed up in his office and
three or four of the clocks which
he took out of a cupboard. They
went to Cleveland June IS and met
Hockin. The Job" there turned out
TO be one Of the most exciting OF
McMannigaps career.

learned that the English sailors Of
the Baralong had committed atrOci-
ties against the crew Of the German
submarine, the chancellor turned to
a discussion of the guarantees which
Germany would expect from the
peace conditions.
1.-THE longer our enemies continue
this war with bitterness" he said,
"the more guarantees are needed by
Germany"
I'VE don't fight in order to subju
gate other nations: we fight for the
protection Of our life and liberty.
The war has always remained
" hat it was at the beginning; a war
Of defense for the German nation
and for her future.
1.-The war can be terminated only
by a peace which gives human GER
tainty that it will not return. We
all agree about that. There is and
there will always be the root of our
strength"
Can't Talk Peace.
In DR.. Scheidemann's address, the
socialist leader reminded the reich
stag that at the beginning of the war
the socialists approved the attitude
of the government, but said that
glance at the map showed Germany
could now speak of peace without
any risk of being considered weak
hearted or dispirited
Scheidemann criticised those that
dream Of annexation but also assert
ed that he would forever oppose
those enemies who desired the parti-
ton of Germany.
we want to be treated as the
equal Of other nations" he said.
There is now a possibility that Ger
many will gain glory by being the
first to dream and speak about
peace"
The socialist asserted that it was
impossible to starve Germany. but
declared that the war was bringing
Europe to the verge of ruin.
