doubt. Wednesday they probably will

No attempt will be made to secure

pus, at least until after the arrival
of Clarence Harrow, who has decided
to act as their chief counsel. It Is

fore the explosion. He said John fur
nished all the money for the Times
plot and others. McManlgal alao
gave a long list of crimes which he
did alone, among them dynamiting
the Henry residence In Portland.

lturns for weeks, that his confession
should not be taken too seriously.

Burns Is Threatened.
Chicago, April 28. Letters threat
ening his death, he says, arc pouring
in on Detective Burns, who is respon
sible for the arrest of the two Mc
Namaras and McManigal. It would
not do them any good to kill me, said
Burns, "for all the evidence I have
secured is In writing and safely In
the hands Of the officials. Thla
means that the men who are guilty
of the Times explosion will bo con
victed." ' Says Rnrns Bribed McManlgal.
Los Angeles Attorney Joe Har
rlman. a defense attorney declared
that McManignl Is In close touch with 1
Burns and was paid money by Burns
and given reward for confession, and!
promised he would be taken care of In
court no matter what came up.
Burns Denied Charge.
Chicago, April 28. "It Is an out
rageous lie," shouted Burns contra
dicting the reports current that Mc
Manigal In confessing had agreed to
furnish Burns with the details of plots
he was carrying out. "It is a desper
ate effort of desperate men to cloud
my reputation to save themselves,"
said Burns,
McManignl Refuses Defense.
Los Angeles, April 28. McManlgal
today repulses the effort of organised
labor to defend him. When ap
proached by Attorney Hnrrlman, who
has been retained to assist In the de
fense of the McNamaras he said: "I
won't want to see you, Hilton or any
other attorney. We will let matters
take their course." When asked If

BUSY INVESTIGATING
Behind closed doors In the office of

County Bar association is still con
ducting Us Investigation of the St.
Dennis vs. Watts casethls afternoon
villi all indications pointing to the
completion of the testimony by ad
journment this evening. Members of
that committee during the noon ad
Jcurnment, avoided newspapermen
like they would a leper and, when cor
nered, maintained a discreet silence
as to the character of the testimony
bi-ing introduced.
From unofficial sources, however, it
was learned that some very Interest
ing testimony has been submitted
u hlrh testimony has exposed some
practices that do not square at all
with professional ethics. The testi
mony of Jerry St. Dennis, one of the
plaintiffs In the suit, is said to be es
pecially important In this revelation
of Improper methods of procedure.
The attorneys Implicated in the In
vestigation have also been quizzed to
some extent. While the exact testi
mony Is withheld from publication nt
the present time. Its general nature Is
known. Watts Is known to allege that
Ralley and Perry Influenced the St.
Dennis heirs to begin the suit against
him upon the representation that he
was robbing them by withholding
certain moneys and that they Insti
gated the action out of personal ma
lice because he (Watts) refused ta
ray them a certain fee of $300 to
which they claimed they were en
tilled. He also alleges that they
promised the heirs that It would not
cost them a cent for attorney fees if
they would consent to the suit.
It Is also known that Perry and
Ralley charged that Watts was robbing
the heirs In question and furthermore
that he robbed them by refusing to
t"V tl'm the above mentioned fee
