PROMISES SOME THRILLS

Attorney for Suspected Dynamiters Makes a Prediction. Los Angeles, April 28. —Janies B. McNamara, called to the office of the county jail ostensibly to hear from District Attorney J. D. Fredericks an outline of his legal rights, came face to face with Mrs. D. H. Ingersoll of San Francisco. She identified him positively as “J. B. Bryce,” a lodger in her house in that city last September. O. M. Hilton, one of the attorneys for the defendants, accomplished a coup that worried the district attorney. Hilton asked McManigal, in the presence of two witnesses, if he had made any confession. McManigal denied having confessed. To combat the effect of this assertion McManigal was hurried to the district attorney’s office and there, according to attaches of the office, repeated the confession he is said to have made in Chicago. Attorneys Hilton and Harriman conferred with the defendants and Hilton, in a statement given out later, predicted sensational developments during the trial. Clarence Darrow of Chicago has consented to defend the prisoners and is expected here Monday. Officers and employes in the aynamite works at Giant, Cal., are to be brought here to identify James McNamara as Bryce, one of the purchasers of dynanite there.
