McMANIGAL, THE INFORMER, IS
HAVING A GOOD TIME
Los Angeles, April 26. Without a
care and assured of three hearty
meals a day. and a suite of six car
peted, communicating cells, life has
become a succession of comfortable
rest days to Ortie McManigal, con
fessed dynamiter, who was to have
been the state's star witness in the
trial of the McNamara brothers. Also
McManigal is to be freed soon.
Meanwhile the McNamaras are la
boring eight hours a day in prison
stripes at San Quentin penitentiary.
While the McNamaras are ceaseless
ly laboring in the dusty prison jute
mill, McManigal spends his few wak
ing hours fashioning flimsy paper
doilies which he slits into fantastic
designs with his well-kept hands.
McManigal has been Los Angeles
county's star boarder for two years.
jFrdm a drawn-faced man of 150
puunus lie uas ueveiupeu iuiu me m-
dermanic size of 230 pounds. His
pale, round face is complacent arid
satisfied.
Occasionally McManigal is given a
day's outing. Recently he was ab
sent from jail all day. The records
indicated that he had been taken to
the district attorney's office but at
night he returned with three tiny
mackerel arid asmelt. He had been
fishing. '
McManigal is charged with dyna
miting the Llewellyn Iron Works
here. He has never been brought to
trial. After he testifies at the third
trial of Clarence Darrow it is believed
he will be quietly-released. The coun
ty authorities refused to say today
what they will dp. Ih the meantime,
Ortie McManigal doesn't worry.
