"We can get at him at any time,"

"There was one mistake In what
Mrs. Bain told the reporters who
asked her about the bribe. Mrs.
Bain said that It was not Franklin
who passed the money, but that Mrs.
Bain was confused. What she want

Hall of Records, Los Angeles, Dec.
4. That Clarence Darrow, chief
counsel for the McNamara brothers,
who have pleaded guilty to the dyna
miting outrages, was to be arrested
charged with bribing Jurors in the
case was the report circulated by per
sons closest to the prosecution today.
DlBtrlct Attorney Fredericks was
told of this report and asked to make
a statement He said:
"I have no Intention of arresting
Mr. Dnr'row as yet"
"Is the qualification 'as yef moan
ing that you may arrest him laterT"
"How can I say as to that? A man
may commit murder and be subject
to arrest. How can I toll what a
man will do,'
The reporter then amandod hliflrat
question, specifically asking:
About Arrest of Darrow,
"Do you Intend to arrest Mr. Dar
row for bribery?"
"I wouldn't tell you If I could."
"Have you any evidence against
Mr. Darrow for bribery?"
"I won't answer that That's all,"
and the prosecutor Indicated that the
conversation waa ended.
While, this Interview was being had
with the prosecutor, his assistant, Mr.
Ford, was admitting that the state
was willing that the bribery charges
agalnnt Bert H. Franklin, who Is ac
cused of having paid 11000 to bribe
Prospective Talesman George N
Iickwood, should be postponed until
next Monday. In demanding the
postponement. Henry T. Gage, form
er governor of California and United
States minister to Portugal, counsel
for Franklin, made an Impassioned
plea for "coolness In the storms that
are breaking around us."
To Justice Young, Gaga said In
part:
"I hope during the continuance
that I ask If the district attorney
would make an independent investi

sion that Franklin lias not in any
way tarnished his line reputation.

"But we are not going Into the

The district attorney has a duty to
perform and he Is ready to present

This waa the first public admission
In court by either side that negotia
tions have been In progress to end
the bribery scandal. Whether these
negotiations will be successful and
the entire matter dropped or whether
a number of those connected with the
McNamara defense will be called Into
court .to explain cannot be learned.
The city Is filled with rumors, but
the men directly concerned on the
"firing line' are. reticent.
Meanwhile it Is certain that when
James I). McNamara and John J.
McNamara are arraigned In court for

a sentence of 11 fo Imprisonment,
while John J. will get not more than

would make, a further statement to
tho district attorney clearing up cer

however, denied by counsel and It
was also stated that, so far as the
