Clarence Darrow Says the Defense Would Never Have Pleaded Guil ty if There AVas Any Other Way Los Angeles; Cal., Withim fif teen minutes after court opened this afternoon one of the greatest crim inal trials of modern times had en ded so abruptly that many officials 1 supposed to be in the heart of ; the matter, did not know it was j going to happen. j The prisoners were taken back to j jail. Judge Walter Bordwell retired to his chambers and opposing counsel went to their rooms. "'The McNamaras have pleaded guilty because they are guilty," was District Attorney John D. Freder ick's crisp comment. "If I'd have seen any "way out of it we would not have done it,"said Attorney Clarence S. Darrow, after court. "We have had it under con sideration since a week ago Monday-" Glad Its Over With. Attorney Darrow stood around the room after court adjourned and newspaper men crowded around him "I am glad its over with," said Darrow with a sigh. "We have been working on this for two weeks.and it has beeni the greatest strain of j mv life 1 W "The Times building was blown up by James J. McNamra, with nitroglycerine to be sure, but the bomb touched off the gas and gas really -did it." l&Se Day's Happenings in Court. Los. Angles Cal A summary of (By the Associated Press.) the dy's hppenings included the following incidents: James B. McNaamra pleaded guil ty to having placed a dynamite bomb under the Los Angeles Times building in October, 1910, and caus ed the death of 21 persons. Jonh J. McNamara, secretary treasuerer of the international As sociation of Bridge and Structural Iron Works, brother of James F did not enter a plea at this time to the indictment similarly entered a gainst him for the Times explosion, but when he is ararigned next Tuesday it is virtually certain pro ceedings against him for this charge will be dissmissed, as the State ad mits it has no evidence connecting John J. McNamara directly .with this particular disaster. John . McNamara, however, pleaded guilty to the charge of having caused the expolsion of the Llewellyn Iron Works in which sno fatalities occurred. District Attorney John D. Freder icks will recommend life imprison- met for James B. and ten years for T 1 T 1 i- T,. WnU.. DM-Jnrnll aione can fix the sentence- WTiat is to Become of McManigal. Ortie E. McManigal, who con fessed to having actually blown up the Llewellyn Iron Works here in December, "1910, at the direction) of John J. McNamara, will be brought to trial, but it is expected the State will recommend a light sen tence because he turned State's evi dence.

Sensation followed sensation with such rapidity, that the gaping crowd hardly realized what happened in those feW minutes of formal procedure-It Was in the Air, the Pulse. In lftss than twenty minutes, the hie- mra was disnosed of. but for hours nrviouslv there had been a fepiiner that, something startling! would develop,and so closely guard ed was the information that the spectators were prepared for almost anything except the thing presented. It was not thought, that after the hattlft wsffwl thus far one side would lay down its arms so willing-! ly. so freely and even so happily for both prisoners smiled chewed gum and appeared as they have on other days confidently unconcerned Even the district attorney was not sure until just before noon that the end was in sight. There were to be developmets in the court room, he told his associa tes, and all brought their wives and friends. In the crowd were detect ives for both sides, many women and even a baby that emitted a whine almost simultaneously with the announcement of the pleas of guilty of Johnu 'McNamara. Thin brown surtains shaded a hot sun lgiht from the room- A mass of heads leaned forward expectantly as the hour for the re-covening of court approached. Tensely waiting was a squad of news-paper men whe had waded to no avail through a maze of possibilities today to de termine the reason, for the sudden halting of the morning's proceedings Three little boxes concealing tele- graDhic wires were nrenared for the developments and less than two j , , t I seconds after tHe word "guilty" left j the mouth of each defendant ,the news was being flashed forth a cross the land.

C. seled courage for the supreme crisis it was James B. McNamara who had balked at entering into an ar rangement to plead guilty if it might affect his brother. He was willing to sacrifice himself, but he wanted his brother to go free. The attorneys, however, convinced him that the better course -was for both to plead guilty and take their chances on a merciful sentence. Word that John J. McNamara wa 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 of the McNamaras was served. When he entered it was generally realiz ed that the case had reached a climax. The bailiff rapped louder than us ual when Judge Walter Bordwell mounted the bench. Instant silence followed. The Fatal Moment Arrives. "The people- versus McNamara, remarked the Court and Attorney Lecompte Davis, of the defense arose. "In this case," he declared, "'af ter long consideration, we have con cluded to withdraw the plea of not guilty and have the defendant enter a plea of guilty; and the like course- we intend to pursue with reference to J. J. McNamara,in the case of the people against him, wherein he ischargedwith having de stroyed the Llewllyn Torn Works." Mr. Fredericks: 'Mr. J. B. McNa mara, you have heretofore been ar raigned on this indictment, number 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. Frederick: "The prisoner an swers yes. J. B. McNamara, you have heretofore been arraigned on this indictment ' as . stated before and you have withdrawn your plea of not guilty heretofore entered. Do you wish to plead at this time?" Mr. Davis: At this time, yes, sir." Mr. Fredericks: -""To this indict ment, number 6939, charging you with the crime of murder, do you plead guilty or not guilty?" The defendant: "Guilty." Mr. Fredericks: "Guilty, your honor." "Do the court and counsel for the defense wish to take up the other case?" Ten O'clock Next Tuesday, Says Judge Bordwell. The court: "I will dispose of this matter and fix the time for sen tence The court appoints the time for announcing judgment in this case at 10 o'clock on Tuesday the fifth day of December, 1911." Mr. Fredericks: J. J. McNamara will you stand up, please." He arose. Mr. Fredericks: "J. J. McNamara, on indictment number 6955 in which you are charged with the crime ofexploding or attempting to explode.dynamite, nitroglycerine, etc- inthe buildings or near the buildings around the Llewellyn Iron Works. You have been arraigned on that indictment and entered your plea of not guilty. Do you now wish to withdraw that plea of not guilty?" The defendant: "'I do." Mr. Fredericks: "Do you wisb now at this time to plead to the .,...rv.,, indictment?' The defendant: Mr. Fredericks: '"I do." "J. J- McNamara, you have heretofore been arraigned - ' . cosr tmc is the time agreed upon for you to plead to the same. Doyou want to plead guilty, or not guilty?' The defendant: "Guilty." Mr. Fredericks: . "Guilty, your honor. The Court: "Well, I will appoint the time for pronouncing the judg ment in this case at 10 o'clock a. m. December 5, 1911, which is next Tuesday." Saved the State Enormous Sum in was a rush for the enclos ure where the attonreys sat when court adjourned. A group flocked around District Attorney Freder icks: to congratulate him on the vi he has worked up his case. He smiled in return, not a smile of ! exultatiion, but relief AVhat Prosecutor Frederick Said "'I don't want a pound Of from two viewpoints. As a lawyer - . . - -I 1 wanted, tnese men to pieaa guil ty because the evidence we gath ered showed them g-uilty beyond any doubt.
