LOS ANGELES, Cat, Dtp. 1 All
known1 angles In the unexpected ter
mination of the McNamara murder
case were summed up tonight by
Clarence 8. Darrow, chief counsel for
the defense, in a statement dictated
to the Associated Press.
. . Darrow'g Statement
Mr. Darrow' statement is as fol
lows: "No motive of any sort entered In
to the .disposition of tha McNamara
cases exoopt Uie welfare of the men
accused of murder.
"Believing as I did that the action
taken would save the live of the ac
cused men, I had no more right to
refuse It than a doctor would have to
forlbear an operation on a patient to
save, his life.
"A commKtee of Los Angeles peo
ple beginning work November 20
made It possible to accomplish the
result. Their suggestions were brougfht
to me iiret by Mr. Steffeno on thst
day, and every day thereafter as mat
ters progressed until the final de
termination. "How much their efforts had to do
with the state's attorney, I cannot
tell, but it was at their Instance that
negotiations were -begun by attorneys
for the defense. I especied She final
action every day after this movement
was commenced and It was taken the
first inute that an understanding
was reached. It was Impossible to
delay action beyond the time until
an understanding was reached on ac
count of the imminent danger we
were' to for two weeks of having the
matter become public property, and
thus making the end . difficult to
adhfove. 1

defense, on a ctharge of robbery, was
suggested as having possible bearing,
but this was repudiated by the de

that negotiations were under way be

were confirmed by District Attorney

APPEALS TO TAFT
WASHINGTON, Dec. '2. The We
saving of Jack Simpson, of Aitkin,
Minn., amounting to 12,665 securely
hidden from burgtams, were reduced
to pulp by hungry rata and mice, and
In a letter received by" President Taft
today he appealed for the redemption
of the pulverised fragments by the
federal treasury.
His wealffli, accumulated to buy a
farm, Simpson explains, was placed tn
a box and deposited between the "up
stairs floor and celling." .No human
being disturbed It, but when he took
It irrom its hiding place, he found It
reduced to dust by the ravages of ro
dents. The president has referred the
matter the treasury department for
Investigation. The treasury depart
ment recently redeemed for a Kan
sas farmer a roll ofrflle wthlch slip
ped out of his back pocket while he
was ploughing his fields and which
waa hurled In the soil for a year. The
money, subjected to rain and frost,
was a sorry sight when he recovered
It upon replouglhlng the field the fol
lowing season. The treasury experts
succeeded In piecing It together and
sufficiently establishing Ms identity
for redemption.
