Goldlng Bald: "I mean to find out more about what the district attorney meant when he said there waB corruption In this case.'" Fredericks, when told of this, said: "We are not responsible for the va- r,f Mr fioldlnc'B mind. WeV are responsible for allowing him to re main on the Jury, and we accept that responsibility. Ho would not have convicted had the heavens fallen. I knew a month ago that he would hold out for the defense." IK'U'ctlven Dlsgusd. Chief of Detectives Samuel L. Browne, of the district attorneys' of fice, who worked up the evidence in the case was disgusted. "Go tell Sheriff Hummel to open the jail doors and turn them all loose," Bald Drowne. "The jury should never have let him go." Juror Rltter invited Darrow to bring Mrs. Darrow and come out and take dinner with him tonight "I shall be delighted," said Darrow. When asked for a Btatement, Clar ence Darrow said: "It's been a terrible ordeal and I feel a great sense of relief. Nobody who knew me could believe I was cor runt. The Indictments could only have been returned under the stress and excitement of the dramatic end of the McNamara trial. "I will go on doing all I can, to help the cause of the poor."

Juror P. C. Paul Rltter, when asked If the verdict was readied on the first ballot, said "Yes." ThlB was denied, however, by Juror A. M. Blakesley, who said: . "There were three ballots. On the first -m stood 9 for acquittal and 8 for conviction. The second gave Mr. Darrow ten votes and the other two came over on the third, xnose wno did not vote for acquittal on the first two ballots are the only ones who will ever know it."

He was born at Kinsman, Ohio, on April 8, 1857. He was educated In tlie'publlo schools of Ohio, and after rending law for Beveral years, was admitted to the bar In 1875. His home Is in Chicago, where he was assistant city attorney for sev eral years. He formerly was attor ney for the Chicago & Northwestern railroad. In 1892 he was elected to the Illi nois legislature from a Chicago dis trict. In many municipal campaigns in Chicago, he took a prominent part, and at one time was prominently mentioned as a candidate for the mayoralty. In politics he is demo cratic. Among his first appearances as a champion of labor was his service as chief counsel for the striking coal miners, on a commission appointed by Theodore Roosovelt, when au attempt at arbitration was made In 1902. His most notable labor cases were recorded when he defended the Mc Namara brothers In Los Angeles, when they wero charged with destroying the Los AngeleB Times building by dyna- j mite, and his defense of Haywood, j Mover and Pettlbone, in Idaho, when they were charged with causing the death of ex- Governor Steunenbeig of that state. It was out of the Los An geles trial that complications resulting in IiIb own Indictment on bribery charges cropped out. The first chapter In the Darrow trial was written when Darrow con sented, at tho behest of union labor and lnbor sympathizers, to defend the McNamara brothers, charged with dynamiting the Los Angeles Times building and thereby causing the death of 21 men. Immediately upon his arrival In Lob Angeles he became the central figure in what proved tq be one of the most dramatic trials in the history of American courts. Friends of Darrow now point to his efforts, after realizing the guilt of his clients, to bargain for the best pos sible terms. The last period of the famous trial, before the confession of both brothers, was spent In an effort to compromise with the state In the event of a change In plea. Darrow remained in lob Angoics after the McNamara brothers were sentenced. His friends say that he was aware that his name would be brought into the bribery proceedings, and that he preferred to remain on the ground to await developments. He was well prepared for the battle when he was indicted, having retained as chief counsel Earl Rogers of Lob Angeles, who became prominent on the Pacific coast through his connec tion with the defense In one of the so-called graft cases In San Francisco. Associate counsel were Judge Cyrus McNutt, Harry Dehm and Darrow him self. During the trial Judge McNutt died, and his place was taken by Horace Appel, Arrayed agalimt these men were District Attorney John D. Fredericks and Assistant District Attorneys Jos. Ford and Arthur Veltch. Judge Geo. H. Hutton, presiding jurist of the Los Angeles county su perior bench, when the case came to trial, assigned to himself the duty of sitting In Judgment. The case was called May 15. In view of the seemingly endless task encountered In securing a Jury for the McNamara trial, it was ex pected that similar trouble would be met In the Darrow case, where the public was every bit as partisan as in the affair of the McNamaraB. To the surprise of all concerned, how ever, a Jury was quickly empaneled and the taking of evidence began on May 25.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA KT3 While Clarence Darrow battled for his honor and good name in court, Ortle McManlgal, the confessor, whit tled picture frames from cigar boxes In his cell in th ecounty Jail, the cell being the same In which James B. McNamara spent the days before his confession. McManlgal was the man whose con fession to a part In a dynamiting af fair played an Important part in the bringing to Justice of the McNamara brothers, and the coming to Los An geles of Clarence Darrow. He Is con fined In Jail awaiting court action In his Case. It Is believed generally that be will not be moved until the con clusion of all cases growing out of the so-called dynamiting affairs. McManlgal has no Jail duties, and the heavy time that hangs on nis hands Is utilized In the manufacture of his little picture frames, which he whittles rrom cigar boxes with a bone handled Jack knife. The frames are for gift or sale. Every psalm singer who comes to the prison to cheer Its inmates carries away, with the com pliment of McManlgal, a little sou venir. McManlgal exercises his thrift, however, on the sightseers who are more than anxious to pay a half dol lar for a souvenir from such a prls oner. McManlgal bas waxed sleek and fat In his confinement He appears to be Indifferent whether he remains In ease in jail or is taken to court.
