NJ NAMARA'S PLEA
ON INDICTMENTS
SET FOR MONDAY
To Be Arraigned Upon -Four
BIackmaiI Counts
Lee Case Up.

John j. Mcnamara, who has been
in Jail since Oct. on four indict-
ments charging blackmail of employ
ers and laborers by threats. will be
arraigned before Judge James A.

Mcnamara is business agent and
secretary Of the local iron workers
union. He is held under $4,000
bond which he has been unable to
obtain thus far, although the Cen
trail Labor Union several weeks ago

funds for that purpose.
Faces Four Charges
Mcnamara was indicted on four
separate charges after weeks of in
tensive investigation by Prosecutor
William H. Remy of local trouble
between the iron workers on one
side and other unions nonunion men
and employers on the other.
During the trouble the metal door
and window frames of the new E,lks
building were damaged Aug. II by
vandals, the loss being estimated at
$4,000. The grand jury charges
Mcnamara with threatening the con
tractor on the work in an attempt
to force him to use iron workers to
install the door frames.
Other Trial Recalled
When the iron worker is called
before Judge Collins to make his
plea, he will face the man who, az
police judge in 1911. turned him over
to William j. Burns, famous detec-
tive who took him back to California
TO face charges of completely in the
famous dynamiting cases in Los
Angeles, when twenty-one persons
died as the result of an explosion IN
der the Los Angeles Times building.
Mcnamara served nearly ten years
there on plea of guilty.
Another to be arraigned will be
Ralph Lee. prisoner in the Indiana
State reformatory. who was in
dicted on charges Of numbering Ab.
ner Peek, Speedway Ave. grocer.
July g. during a hold-up Lee had
escaped from prison and after the
shooting fed to Seattle. Wash,
