M'NAMARA TRIAL SETFI IHTOMlBflOW .Preliminary Examination of the First Venire Completed by Judge BordwelL WILL DENY DYNAMITE DESTROYED THE TIMES Defense Will Be That Cm Eiploslon Wrecked Building McNamara 'Narrates life. Loa Angeles. Oct 10. As result of tha preliminary examination of veniremen aummoned In connection with the trial Wednesday of one of the McNamara brothers, the 1J2 men present when court opened were weeded out to 4S by ffudge BordwelL All veniremen were excuied who were able to ahow that their business would auffer If they became Jurors In a trial of long duration. No matter which of the MiNamaraa go.s on trial WsdneNUy. the defense, it ia m aiin h tha aame that the Times building was destroyed . and Are and not by .dynamite and fire. Out beyond tha 'hills north of town there has been conducted a series of secret explosions. R :i?ated ilhchargea of gus and dynamite huve plowed up the earth In order that any difference In the action of the explosives might be shown. Beyond the results of these experi ments, spectators, at tha trial will see a miniature buaines block, complete to the most minute detail, set on a table before the Jury. The structure Is a model of the Loa Angeles Times building- with one side cut away to show tiny printing presses, linotype machines, desks and all the machinery of a great newspaper office. By this model the defense hopes to demon strate the effects of the explosion In accordance with Its theory, McNamara Tells Life Story. Sitting in a corridor Just outside his cell In the county Jail, John J. Mc Namara, secretary-treasurer of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Ironworkers, briefly sketched what he termed the unevent ful Uvea of himself and his brother. James B. McNamara. "I was born In Cincinnati December 23, 17," he said, "and I am the old est of six children living, although there were ten child en originally. I attended the common school In Cin cinnati until 1 waa twelve years old and then took a three years course In a business college. "Nothing of any Importance hap pened to me until the panic begun in 12, when I turned my hand to any thing and everything to keep the pot bulling:, aa they .say. "I did my first brldgework at Cin cinnati In 1898. iolninsr the union the visited various sections of the middle I west, .following my trade and work ing- on steel bridges, viaaucis ana similar structures. - I have held all of the offices In lo cal unions, particularly In those of Cleveland, and have attended all the conventions of the International asso ciation since 1802. I was elected sec ond vice president at the convention at Kansas City In 1903 and waa chosen secretary-treasurer at Toronto In 1904. have held that office ever since. "The last building I worked on was the Rockefeller structure In Cleveland. I left that Job to go to Toronto, and It waa held open for me If I wanted to go back, but I didn't, aa I had been made secretary-treaaurer and had my time fully taken up with the duties of that office. , The officers of the International as sociation were In New York when I was first elected. .- Later, for senti mental reasons, I was Instrumental In having them moved to Cleveland. Two ears after the offices were removed there, another change sj made to Indianapolis, for the reason tluil so many labor organizations had their International headquarters there. "1 never planned my life far ahead. The work of an Ironworker probably precludes such planning, for such a man does not know when he leaves horns In the morning that he will re turn at night. It probably tends to wards fatalism. "I wanted to learn of the organiza tion In which 1 held office, partlcu larly the legal end of It, and so I at tended the Indianapolis College of Law and waa admitted to' practice In 1909. "There Is little else about my life except myjurreift, , ljm ap Inveterate reader, and always have .been, of hooks treating with economics and in dustrial matters." 1 Chronology of Cane. The chronology of the dyramitlng case is as follows: : October 1 Times newspaper plant destroyed by ' explosion and fire. Twenty men killed. Bombs found at home of General Harrison Gray Otis, proprietor of the Times, and Felix Zeehandelaar, ' secretary Merchants and- aMnufacturers' Association.
