Los Angeles, Cal.— James B. Mc
Namara pleaded guilty to murder in
the first degree in Judge Bordwell’s
court Friday. His brother, John J.
McNamara, secretary o f the Interna
tional Association o f Bridge
and
Structural Iron Workers, entered a
plea of guilty to dynamiting the Llew
ellyn Iron Works in Los Angeles,
Christmas day, 1910.
James B. McNamara’s confession
clears up absolutely the tragedy o f the
explosion and fire which,
at 1 :07
o ’clock on the morning o f October 1,
1910, wrecked the plant o f the Los
Angeles Times and caused the death
o f 21 persons. For 19 o f these deaths
the McNamara brothers were indicted,
and J. B. McNamara was on trial spe
cifically for the murder o f Charles J.
Haggerty, a machinist, whose body
was found nearer than that o f any
other to the spot where the dynamite
was supposed to have been placed.
It is expected that Disrict Attorney
John D. Fredericks will ask for life
imprisonment for James B. McNam
ara, the confessed murderer, and prob
ably 14 years for his brother.
As the two brothers sat together in
the county jail, refusing to see any
one or make any statement, an inter
est second only to the occurrence itself
hung about the question with refer
ence to James B.
. “ Why (lid he confess?”
To this opposing counsel gave the
same answer.
"H e confessed because he was guil
ty, and thaf’s all there is to i t ," de
clared District Attorney Fredericks.
“ He was counselled to confess be
cause that was the best thing he could
do, in the opinion o f counsel," said
Attorney Clarence S. Darrow, chief o f
counsel. " I will say now that there
was no other reason or motive in it.
I ’ve studied this case for months. It
presented a stone w all.”
