probably are actual descendants of
survivors of Sir John Franklin' two

the middle of the 1Mb century and
never heard of again.
Another theory I that they are the
descendanta of the Scandinavian set

Coast of the American continent and
finally settled among the tribe onr

a statement made by Colonel Roosevelt

even by Implication. He declared he
would not aupport any man for the
nomination lb 113. neither Taft nor
anyone else. As to the statement that
the President believed that he would
have Roosevelt's support, Roosevelt
said that Taft could not possibly be
lieve anything of the kind; that. In
fact, neither Taft nor anyone else had
one particle of ground for such an
opinion."
The North American continues:
"No more than three days ago Col
onel Roosevelt expressed himself to
the North American exactly as he had
done a year ago. And because of the
persistence of unwarranted reports and
deductions, he agreed that an author
itative statement of his oft-expressed
purpose should be printed by this pa
per. This utterance, therefore. Is pos
itive. "Colonel Roosevelt will not support

neither Taft nor anyone else. He never
gave Taft any pledge or ofTer of sup
port, nor did Taft ever have such Im
pression. As to himself, Roosevelt Is
not a candidate, nor has he been , at

to be accepted at Its full value In
Its clear and unequivocal meaning,
that he desires talk of bis supposed

Prosecution to Summon SeTeral
Hundred Witnesses One of
Jurors Already Indicates In
ability to Stand Strain.
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 26. With eight
Jurors sworn and the Jury-getting pro
cess somewhat simplified. Inquiry as to
what will be heard when evidence is
Introduced in the McNamara case
brought forth today in a general way
from District Attorney Fredericks an
outline of how the state will present
Its side of the controversy over the de
struction of the Los Angeles Times
building In October. 1910.
After the opening statement by the
District Attorney when the Jury is com
pleted, maps and diagrams of the
building that was blown up will be
shown. . Eye-witneBses will be sum
moned. . These will Include not only
employes who were in the building at
the time of the disaster, but those who
saw the explosion and Are from the
outside. ' Then will come, according to
the District Attorney, proof of the
death of Charles J. Hag?erty.- Hag
gerty's body was found in the base
ment near a place In "Ink alley," where
it is asserted that an explosive waa
placed feloniously.
- Many Experts to Testify.
Testimony to show that Haggerty
was killed Instantly by the force of the
explosion and not by fire then will be
brought forth, as it was Haggerty's
proximity to the alleged origin of the
explosion that induced the state to
choose for trial from 19 indictment the
one for the murder of Haggerty.
Testimony of experts on explosives
will be produced thereupon to indicate
that dynamite wrecked the building.
Though the state has several hundred
witnesses, many of them, will be dis
posed of in a few minutes.
The defense thus far haa not Indi
cated what its manner of refutation
will be. The attorneys assert that they
have several methods at their disposal
and though they will Indulge In ex
haustive cross-examination, the main
line of defense will not become visible
until after the state has rested it
case. Combatting of the dynamite
theory by expert testimony, as well aa
by witnesses who will allege that they
smelled gas In the vicinity of the build
ing, already has been admitted by the
defense as a central feature in its fu
ture argument.
Accident la Defense Theory.
Examination of talesmen thus far
likewise has revealed that the defense
will Insist on the theory that the Times
was destroyed by accident, and that no
felony, therefore, was committed.
Calculations from the present prog
ress of the trial place the time for be
ginning the taking of evidence at the
middle of December.
Though only four more Jurors are
needed to fill the box, the time for tak
ing evidence may be postponed some
what by the choosing of one or two
alternate Jurors to replace any 'who
may become physically unable to serve
In the course of the trial. Unless J.
II. Cook Is excused before long, it Is
said, an alternate will be necessary for
him, as his physician Is reported to
have said that he could not stand the
confinement.
The examination of Talesman Calvin
Collins will be continued tomorrow.
Besides the eight sworn Jurors, one
talesman has been passed for cause
and with only seven peremptory chal
lenges now available to the defense and
Ave remaining to the state, it Is be
lieved that the completion of the panel
la not far off.
