Separate Cells With Extra
Guards In Prison
L.OS ANGELES, Cel., April 2.
John J. McNamara. secretary of the
International Bridge and Structural
Iron Workers association; his brother
James B. McNamara. and Ortle Mc
Manlgle, accused of activity In or
knowledge of the blowing up of The
Times newspaper plant last Octo-
ber when tl men were killed, ara In
the Los Angeles Jail tonight. They
are In separate cells surrounded by
extra guards.
All are charged with murder.
Their arrival today In Irons from
Indianapolis and Chicago signalised
the beginning of a desperate legal
struggle. Thus far, however, no defi
nite arrangements have been made
for their defense. District Attorney
John D. Federicks, who said yester
day that the state waa ready to go
to trial at, once, announced that the
formality of an arraignment would
now await the convenience of the de
fens. The alleged conspirators ar
rived at the Jail from Paaadena in
automobilea after running through
two crowds, which In their eagerness
to get a glimpse of the prisoners,
bore, down more than a" score of detec
tives and deputy sheriffs.
As James McNamara entered an
automobile to be taken to Jail he was
seen by Mrs. D. H. Ingersoll, a San
Frarfslsuo boarding house keeper, with
whom 3. B. Bryce stayed before the
Times explosion. ' i

tectives Is held as Bryce. the man
alleged to have laid the Infernal ma
chines that blew up the newspaper
plant. Mrs. Ingersoll peered Into tha
face of McNamara as h ntrd tha
an officer, but he kept hit unbound
hand before hi face. In spit of this,
Mrs. Ingersoll declared that he waa

Identified him as Bryce from tha
printed descriptions after the Indict
ments were found. He looked little
like the 160 pound man described In
the official circulars. Mrs. Ingersoll
will again confront htm In Jail tomor
row. At no time was there evident the
least sign or anger on the part of tha
ccrowds or of a disposition to Justify
the aparent fear of the officers that
an attempt might be' made to recue
the prisoners.
