constitute their declaration of Inde

reforms they Insist upon. This will
be presented to Carabajal as a brief
of the rebel case.
It is believed here that the out
come of the peace negotiations will
depend on the probable time of Pres
ident Diaz's retirement. The rebels
want asscrance that Diaz will retire
soon, and that a new election will be
called.
But while tho Diaz and Madero
factions are talking peace here, the
revolution is extending all over the
republic, especially about the capi
tal and on the west coast, and grave
doubts are felt that Madero cannot
control the rebel bands, even If he is
willing to make peace.

Los Angeles, Cal., May 3. The ar
raignment of John J. and J. B. Mc
Namara, arrested in connection with
the destruction of the Los Angeles
Times plant here October 1 last, will
be held either tomorrow afternoon or
Friday. But the men will be charged
not with the actual explosion of
dynamite under the Times building
and the killing of 21 men, but some
supplementary crime connected with
the Times explosion.
This was the announcement today
of District Attorney Fredericks.
Colncldentally, Fredericks confirmed
the report that Judge Walter Bord
well will try the case.
Fredericks said that he will confer
with Judge Bordwell tomorrow and
at the conference the exact date of
the arraignment of the two brothers
and possibly Ortle McManlgal, their
alleged confederate, will be deter
mined. The move of the district attor
ney's office In rviot charging the ac
cused men with the direct destruction
of the Tlmias plant was explained by
Fredericks as an attempt on the part
of the prosecution to keep their ev
idence in the case undisclosed until
they had an opportunity to perfect
certain portions of It.
Indictments charging Kther crimes
than the destruction of tho Times
plant already have been returned,
Fredericks said. He refused to Bay
what was alleged In them.
Fredericks, accompanied by v his
stenographer, spent more than an
hour with McManignl in the county
Jail today.
Fredericks, after the call, said
nothing of importance had been dls.
cussed, and that he had simply paid
McManlgal a friendly visit to keep up
his spirits.
Deputy District Attorney Ford is
expected to arrive from the East at
6 o'clock this evening. Fredericks
said Ford would bring with him the
additional evidence against the ac
cused that had been obtained In Indi
anapolis. The previous Intimation
that tho arraignment was awaiting
the arrival of Ford leads 'o tho con
elusion that this evidence forms part
of the supplementary case against
the McNamaras.

Fowler, Ind May 3. John W.
Poole, a wealthy farmer, today con
fessed that he had murdered Joseph
Kemper, a farm hand, nearly a year
ago. He was arrested for the mur
der at the instance of his son, Emery
Poole. In his confession he detailed
the manner In which lie killed Kem
per and hacked his body to pieces.
Poole denied In his confession to-1
day that be had deliberately mur
dered Kemper. He said he acciden
tally shot Kemper while they were
out hunting, the fuU charge of the
shotgun blowing off the farm hand's
head. Sheriff Shackleton discredits
the accident Btory,
Poole still stoutly maintains that
he knows nothing of the whereabouts
of Clark or Mack, who, he said, left
the place voluntarily.
Poole declares that Kemper's body
lay for six days about the barn and
the hay sheds after he was shot on
December 12, 1909. He said he
finally decided that after hog killing
time would be the best time for bury
ing the corpse, and that then he dug
the grave and covered the body with
hiog ofilal.
Explaining the mangled condition
of Kemper's body, Poole said he had
found It frozen in the barn, and had
hacked it to pieces that he might the
more conveniently carry It to the
grave.
To offset the story told by Poole it
was found that the walls of the Poole
kitchen were still bloodstained, and
the son, Emery, declares that his
father's boots were still bloody when
he returned to the house on the day
Kemper was slain.
Detectives who are at work on the
case today declare their belief that
at least three more corpses will be
dug up on the Poole farm. Their be
lief Is shared by the residents of the
neighborhood, hundreds of whom
this afternoon are searching every
foot of ground on the "mudder farm"
