M'NAMARAS CONFESS TO

- JJ X JN iVJVLLXXr X . CContlnued from Pag 1.) to the spot where the dynamite was supposed to have- been placed. ' A VII I Be Sentenced Tuesday. Both men's sentences were set for Dec. 5, when it is expected that District Attorney John D. Fredericks will ask for life imprisonment for James B. j c and probably fourteen years for his brother. Tho men's lives are considered saved. The great contention that the Los Angeles Times' building: was not dynamited is dead beyond resurrection or argument. As the two brothers sat together in the county jail today, refusing to see any one or making any statement, an . interest second only to the occurrence itself hung about the question with reference to James B. McNamara "Why did he confess?" i To this opposing counsel gave the Fame answer. Views of Opposing Counsel. "He confessed because he was guilty and that's all there is to It," declared District Attorney Fredericks. "He was counseled to confess because that was. the best thing he could do, in the opinion of counsel." said Attorney Clarence P. Darrow, chief of 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 wall." Darrow's statement offsets the charges that the recent arrest of Burt II. Franklin, an investigator employed by the defense, and two others , with him might have precipitated a situa tion untenable the prisoner. save by confession of Gompera la Shocked. New York. Dec. 2. "I am astounded I am astounded; my credulity has been Imposed upon. It is a bolt out of a clear sky." The exclamations were those of Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, when advised r the pleas of guilty in the McNamara cases. Mr. Gompers was caught on he wing between Washington and Troy, where he is going to attend a hearing of the "Wagner-Smith-State factory commission, of which he is a member. Incl-

dentally the news from Washington is which should be called "the Appeal to that the confessions of the McNamaras j Treason," contained' in one issue a box may result in the overthrow of Gomp-1 editorial by Debs Kugene V.

There, In the smoking room of the Pennsylvania station, Mr. Gompers said he was astounded at the news, and had no Intimation that the brothers would plead guilty until he heard that they alTeady had.Both Told Him Ty Were laiocnl. "I had personal assurances from both John B. and James J. that they were ' absolutely innocent . when I visited

them twice in jail In Los Angeles in i September," said Mr. Gompers. "They i 'grave me their word to give to the la- j bor men of the country. My credulity;

8 been grossly imposed ' upon. I am shocked beyond expression at the news." "What- effect ; will this termination haveVupon labor unions?" he was asked. "Well, it won't do the labor unions any good," said Mr. Gompers. "The unions of this country have been Imposed on before by enemfes and have been injured by friends. The men of i abor have been led to believe that these two men were innocent, and we J J acted on that faith. , lie had collected, at the last report, $190,000 for their defense. This money has been forwarded to their chief counsel to disperse among the other attorneys and witnesses. I still deny the report that $1,000,000 was subscribed for their De fense." B V WILLIAM J. BLRNS. Chief of the William J. Burns National Ieeetlve Agency. I feel this is a distinct victory for the people of the entire country in view of the importance of this case and ', the prominence it has been given throughout the world. Immediately after the arrest of J. J. McXamara and before making the slightest investigation to determine the strength of the ' evidence upon which the arrest of J. J. McNamara was based Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, saw fit promptly to charge me with framing up the case and planting the dynamite. i His followers, which only includes the radical element of the labor unions throughout the country and which I doubt would reach one-tenth of their entire number, took up the same cry. i The socialists throughout the coun- , try preached it from the street cor ners that Burns framed up the case and planted the dynamite against the McNamaras. This cry was embossed in Philadelphia and other places ; throughout the country. On Labor day and at night they had transparencies reading "Down with Burns. Ho found the dynamite where he planted it." In Boston they had a goat in the parade covered with a blanket on which was printed "We hve Governor Marshall and Detective Burns." meaning they had the goats of Governor Marshall of Indiana and myself. The socialist press, or at least the radical portion of it, reeks with the filth concerning myself, and the Appeal to Reason his plain intimation was that they remove J. Pierpont Morgan, General Otis and myself. George H. Smith, age ninety-two. died yesterday at his home, south ol Richmond, of Injuries recived in a fall. He was born and reared in Wayne joounty, and was one of the wealthiest men in the. county. He was a brother-in-law of Isaac Jenkinson, whose death occurred a month ago, as a result or a fall downstairs.
