Third Degree Applied on J. B.
McNamara Without a Word.
New Faces Appear Daily.
Lob Angeles, Cal., Dec. 7 -Jas. B.
McNamara owes his euddeD breakdown
in spirits and the fact that be pleaded
guilty without going to trial to what
Chief of Detectives Brown calls the
"mental third degraa." pay after day
88 he sat in the court room while the
lawyers squabbled over prospective ju
rymen or catechised veniremen on the
stand, the prisoner would suddenly find
himself staring into friendly facr s but
the faces were those of people he had
known in o her dayB. One day it would
be the fac of a girl with whom he had
been known while carousing around San
Franc sco, another time it would be
the face of a bartender with whom he
had spent a convival evening. But he
could not stand the strain. He was
known to thim all as "Bryce." De
tective Brwn tells' this remarkable
story as follows:
"The partiualar thing that broke his
nerve' and brought the confession was
the positive personal identification day
after day. He knew, as these people
cime and identified him. that I had
found out another place where he had
been and that I was going to plant him
in the center of the circle.
"He knew that it was a story that I
was telling him without saying any
thing to him. I didn't care about the
witnesses identifying him; I watched
him. I knew whtn he was identified,
and he knew it. And he would tell Dar
row and then Da r row would whisper to
Daviii, and Davis would come to me
and fay "Who's this fellow you had in
court to identify Jim?' The next day I
would plant a couple more--differ. nt
ones from different sections. They were
women he had associated with, people
he had tat en joy rides with, bartenders
wro had sold him drinks, even the bar
tender wl ') sold him a drink to steady
his nerves just before he stepped into
I k alley to blow up the Times build
ing. The re were people who knew him
as 'Jim' and some who knew him as
'Jack.'
"There was the girl for whom he
bought an imitation sealskin sacque and
who piin: d at the sacque as she caught
his eye. There was the clerk in the
general i elivery window who handed
him his n.ail as J. B. Bryce. There was
the man ho in a cafe at San Francis
co plajed the tune that J. B. love"d the
most. Ti at man was A. E. Ross of the
Bohtmiai Cafe, and McNamara used to
give, h m $10 and $20 gold pieces to play
"Traume i" for him
"Then there were the cab drivers
that drove him around in San Francis
co, Los Angeles and other places. One
of them hid a row with him over the
fare. Tt :re was a wom.n at wlnse
store he ought some pap rj and wrap
ped up d' namite in her presence and
gave her the name of J. B. B yson.
"I evei. got the cojk that put up the
tl ree ch. kens lie and Schmdt and Djve
Kaplan t ok with them to Sausalito,
where th y mad bombs. It would take
a pL e to tell how the cumulative evi

Between Morehead City and Beau
fort. Several Days Will Pass
Before Trains Can go Over.
Loosened from its moorings by the
rising of the tide, a large barge heavily
loaded with lumber, crashed into the
Norfolk-Southern railway bridge
between Morehead Ci'pr and Beaufort
yesterday morning and completely de
molished a section of that structure
about 75 feet in length.
News of the accident was first re
ceived in this city shortly after seven
o'clock. Capt. Will Hinnaut, who Was
in chaige of the train which should have
made the morning trip between Beau
fort and Goldaboro, telephoned the facts
to Superintends Walker at 'his point.
The eat the und train arrived here on
schedule time and went on through to
Morehead. Several of the local railway
men went down on this train and after
looking over the wreckage, wired hack
for the wreck ire train and crew. This
was dispatched within a short time and
at once began to remove the parts of
the bridge which had been demolished.
The break is a bad one and probably
several days will elapse before trains
can again be operated across the bridge.
A special train was made up here
yesterday mor.rng and made the run to
Goldsboro and returned last evening
continuing on to Morehead City. A
special train made up at that point
brought passongers to New Bern last
evening. Three locomotives, a number
of passenger cars and several freight
cars are tied up at Beaufort as a re
suit of the a- eident.

The Cases of Chicago, Meat Pack
ers Has Reached a
.Trial. .
Chicago, Dc. 7 After eight years de
vious travel-in the ways of grand juries
and speciaf pleaa, the cases of ten Chi
cago meat packers, indicted for alleged
violation of the criminal provisions of
the Sherman anti trust laws, reached
trial. Indication has that the early
stages of the trial at least would be
rapid, for the government's examina
tion of the first panel of jurymen was
brief.
The packers indicted are:
J. Ogden Armous, president Armous
& Co.
Iouis F. Swift, president Swift &
Co.
Edward F. Swift, vice president
Swift & Co.
. Charles F. Swift, director Swift &
Co.
Edward Tiiden, president National
Packing Company, which the govern
ment contends is the illegal corpora
tionthe trust.
Arthur Meeker, general manager
Armour & Co.
Edward Morris, president Morris &
Co.
Francis A. Fowler, director Swift &
Co.
Thomas J, Connors, superintendent
Armour & Co.
Louis H. Heiman, manager Morris &
Co.
All of the defendants were in court
immediately after the case was called.
Personaf pleas of not guilty were en
tered and the examination of veniremen
hegun.
Attorneys here are of the opinion
that (he tiial will proceed without any
further attempts of counsel for the
packers to cause delay. The only ac
tion now pending which would bring a
stop tlf the proceedings is an appeal to
the United States Supreme court for a
ruling on the constitutionality of the
criminal provisions of the-law.
This 'appeal was filed a week ago, to
gether with a plea for a stay of pro
ceedings pending the decision. The stay
was refused in. a verbal decision. The
packers, it was said, were resting their
hopes that the high court would declare
the law contrary to the constitution
and bring the trial to an abrupt end.
The extreme penalty which can be
given the defendants in case of con
viction is a line of $5,000 or one year
in jail or both.
