Acknowitdgts Bloilog Up Times Building ud Pleads 6oilti of Murder. Loa Angeies, Cal., Dec. 1. James JB. MoNamara pleaded RQiUy to murder m the first de gree in Judge Walter Bord well's court here today. His brother John J. MoNamra, secretary of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, entered a plea of hav ing dynamited the Llewellyn Iron Works in Los Angeles on Christmas Day, 1910. James B. McNamara's confes ion clears np absolutely the tragedy of the explosion and fire which at 1:07 o'clock on the morning of October 1, 1910 wrecked the p'ant of The Lop Angel9s Times at First and Broad way and caused the d- ath of 21 persons For 19 of these denhs the McNamara brothers were in dicted and J. B. McNamara on trial specially for the murder f Charlas J. Haggerfcy, a macninis whose body was fouud nearer than that of auy other to the sp t where the dynamite was suppose to have been placed B )th men's sentences were set for December 5 when it is sup posed District Attorney John D.

'Joe is not in on this deal." the pale-faced man reiterated with insistence born of one great idea. "I don't care what happens to me." Word that J. McNamara was coming caused the first ripple of excitement. He had not visited the court room since October 11, when the trials were begun and the case had raached a climax. The bailiff rapped loudly than usual when Jndge Waller Bord well mounted the bench. Instant ly silence followed. "The people versus McNam ara," remarked the court, and Attorney Lecompte Davis of the defense arose. "In this case," he declared, "after long consideration we have conclude ! to withdraw the plea of not guilty and have the de fendant enter a plea of gnilty and the like course we intend t) p irsa with reference to J. J . McNamara, in the case of the people against him, wherein he is charged with having de stroyed the Llewellyn Iron Works." Mr. Fredericks ,4Mr. J. B. Mc Namara, will you stand up please." The defendant arose. Mr. Fredericks Mr. J. B. Mc Namara, you have heretofore been arraigned on this indictment No. 6939 and have entered your plea thereto of not guilty. Do you now wish to withdraw that plea of not guilty?" The defendant "Yes, sir." Mr. Fredericks ; 'The prisoner tuBwers yes. J. B.

' Mr. Davis "At this time, yes, sir." Mr. Fredericks "To this in dictment number 6939 charging yu with the crime of murder, do you plead guilty or not guilty?.'" The defendant "Guilty." Mr. Fredericks "Gniliy, your honor. Do the court and couniel for the defense wish to take up Blood Was Wrong All women, who suffer from the aches and pains, due to fernste aliments, are urged to try Cardui, the .reliable, scientific, tonic remedy, for women. Cardui acts .promptly, yet gently, and without bad effects, on the womanly: system, relieving pain, building up strength, regulating the. system, and toning up the nerves. During the past half century, thdusands of ladies have written to tell of the quick curative results ftey obtained, from the use of this well-known medicine. Mrs. Jane CaTJehaa suffered from womanly trouble for nearly ten yesrs. In a letter from Whiteville, N. C, she; says: MI was not able to do my own housework. My stomach was weak, and my blood was wrong. I had back ache, and was very weak. I tried several doctors, but they did me no good. I used Cardui for 3 or 4 months, and now I am in the best health I have ever been. I can never praise Cardui enough." It is the best tonic, for women.
