When he had done, he passed It to Darrow. who read It. with Davis looking on. and handed it to Frederlcha. The namea of the witnesses were at tached and Fredericks buttoned his coat over a single sheet of paper bear " in perhaps Jt words. The brother, nodded to Jailer Gal laicher and filed back Into their cells, saying good-bye to the attorneys. Jn this connection Fredericks as serted that he asked no more arrests at present anyway, and there the mat ter stood tonight, with opinion about equally divided aa to whether later de velopmenta would force the District Attorney, regardless of his own pref erences and atmply as a public officer, to proceed against men for whom he - holds the highest admiration. It waa reported early tonight that by agreement of counsel the McNa maraa would be aentenced tonight In ' atead of tomorrow. Attorney Darrow denied thla. as did Judge BordwelL Ceaat!cea Risen Heard.

That the McNamara. would remain here to appear beiore thla grand Jury waa one of the speculation, tonight, balancing another that they would be taken to the penitentiary on a apeciai train Immediately alter aentenoe. Extreme PeaaJtles Desaaaded. What aentenoe would be imposed on the McNamaraa, only the Judge knowa tonight. Many telegram, have Deea received from Eastern organlzatlona. mostly labor bod lee. urging the extreme penalty for both men. None of these baa been read by the Judge.

The committee decided only after great deliberation to reward the captors of the parties re sponsible for the deed, and having of fered the reward, we will aurely live up to our promise. It may be a bitter pill for some of the members of the committee to awallow to turn the money over to Detective Burna.

No one ran tell me that the rank and file countenanced dynamiting. -I do not believe Detective Burna la Justified in declaring- that Mr. Oompera knew that the McNamaraa were guilty.

In behalf of the National Erectors' Association, which employed W. J. Burns to run down the perpetrator, of the Los Ange les Time, outrages, Walter Drew, as counsel. Issued a statement here to night urging that the McNamaras "make a frank and full confession." Mr. Drew say. among other things, that he doubta the sincerity of labor In urging extreme punishment and Indicates that those who take this atti tude have an ulterior motive. Mr. Drew Issued the-statement In the form of a telegram he had sent to J. D. Fredericks, District Attorney at Los Angeles. The telegram reads: "I note the many statements from labor leader, repudiating the McNa maraa, and demanding the Infliction upon them of the extreme penalty of the law. A. you know, I am counsel for a group of employers who have been among the chief sufferers at the hands of these men. and am, perhaps, as fa miliar as any one with the series of dynamite outrages In which they -took part. I deem It my duty to say to you In order that In your discretion you may advise the court: "First No human life has been de stroyed by any other explosion trace able to these men. nor do I know of any such explosion that was apparently planned with the purpose of taking life, though in some Instances a disre gard of such possible consequences waa shown. "Second The National Erectors' As sociation does not Join In the demand for the death penalty for the younger McNamara. believing him the weak, paid tool of the others and his actions the natural consequence of the doc trines tuught by men who now repudi ate htm. We believe the punishment of both these brothers Is secondary in Importance to the corruption of men behind them and we sincerely hope they will take advantsfo of the Opportunity now presented to perform a signal service for society by making full and frank confession. "Third Inasmuch as some of the de mands for extreme punishment come from men who must have known of the guilt of the McNamaraa and one of whom at least I know to be Impli cated In several outrage, with them, I sincerely doubt that such demands are being made with the sole desire of aiding the ends of full and complete Justice." ' Mr. Drew reiterated this evening that he believed between 20 and 30 labor leaders would be Indicted as the result of the Federal Investigation now under way at Indianapolis, and aald the ramifications of the Inquiry would extend from Boston to the Pacific Coast. -I have no Information which would lead me to believe that Samuel Gom pers was not sincere In his stand In the McNamara case." said Drew. "I don't aay that Gompers Is guilty of any crime or has guilty knowledge of any crime." GOMPERS BRANDED "UXSAFE" United States Attorney In Inlianar- olle Says Probe Will Be Deep. INDIANAPOLIS.

"The Investigation now being made by the Government will be thorough and complete." continued Mr. Miller. "The people are entitled to know all the facts, and all the facta will be known at the proper time. It Is not a part of my duty to discuss the details.

Investigator of the McNa mara defenae. now charged with brib ery, she persuaded her husband, 'a talesman on the McNamara Jury, to ac cept $4000 If he would make sure that a verdict of guilty would not be' given and that $500 of this money actually was paid over. "I can't get back any honor," she said her aged husband declared when It waa suggested that he could return the money. Bain Is a Civil War veteran.'

Gage, Frank lin's counsel, made a speech express ing his hope that within a week the District Attorney would find the charges against Franklin baseless. He dwelt upon the vast amounts of money pent by nations over the seaa In spy-ins- on their citizens and declared that In America, "this land of alleged free dom of opportunity," there Is coming to exist a like state of affairs. Such prosecutions, he likened to "retail war." W. Joseph Ford, assistant District Attorney, agreed to a continuance for one week and this was ordered by the court. Franklin, learning today of rumors that he had confessed, stoutly denied that he had done so. Around his case centers Interest of great magnitude and Its decision may determine the fate of men whose liberty tonight lies on scales that a hair may tilt.

"How Is that?" and he said. -You know what I meanT" I said, "No; unless you want him to do election I work. He says. No, not that; you know Bob has been summoned on the Jury?" Mr. F:il Did he use the word, "sum moned?" Mrs. Bain I do not know whether he said -summoned" or "subpenaed." I know he used the word eubpena and be asked If Bob had got his subpena. I said I did not want Lob to serve on the Jury and that I knew that he would not be qua'lfied and he said. -Why?" I said that in the first place Bob vu a lltM hnrrl nf hearlnar.
