Former County Attorney E. H. Brady
' today riled forma! objections to the
approval of the report of Deputy
State Examiner R. M. Nash, by the
board of county commissioners, which
met today to consider the report of
the examiner of the condition of the
various county offices. The following
are Mr. Brady's objections:
Before the Honorable Board of County
Commissioners of Craig County, Ok-

; In. the Matter of the Report of Chas.

tor, Now on File in the Office of the
County Clerk of Craig County, Okla

Comes now Edw. H. Brady, a citizen
and tax payer of Craig County, Okla
homa, and objects to the approval of
the above named report for the follow
ing reasons, to-wit:
I That the state inspector bused his
report as to the salaries of coun'y o fl
eers affected by said report upon a
population different from that which
isc provided by law.
That the salaries of all county 0T1
cers of Craig county. Oklahoma, for
190S to 1910 inclusive should be based
upon the special federal census of
1907, as provided by the state !ey;s,lu
tur. That the state examiner and inspec
tor has no lgal right or authority to
fx the salaries of county oilieorsj of
Craiz county or of any oth?r county
upon any ether basis than that winch
has been provided by law.
That the fact that he has based the
salaries of such county officers upon
a different basis than that provided by
law has raised the salaries of some
of the county officials, and lowered
the saHry of others, which is an in
justice upon the tax payers of said
county, and an injustice upon such
county officials.

PLACED Oil TRIAL
Prosecution Contends Explosion Was
Caused B Dynamite Defense
Sas it Vas From Gas.
Los Ang:
B. McNam,
, Cab, Oct
vent 00
lib Jamv
ial on a
sterday be-
charge
murue
:.e."e y-
fore Judge WalKer
superior court, ami'
Dordwe;; the
circumstances as
proverbial west-
austere and simple as
em justice. District Attorney John D.
Fredericks, for the prosecution, elected
to try him for the murder of Charles
J. Haggerty. a machinist, who. with
tventy other men. met death in an ex
plosion and fire which wrecked the
Los Ar.peles Times building October 1.
1910.
This case was picked from nineteen
indictments because Haggerty's body
was found nearest the spot where the
explosion occurred. The nineteen
charges of murder are against James
E. McNamara, his brother, John J.
McNamara, secretary of the Interna
tional Association of Bridge and Struc
tural Iron Workers; William Caplan
and M. A. Schmidt, both at large, and
four unidentified persons specified as
John Doe. Jane Doe. Richard Roe and
John Siles.
The prosecution contends that the
explosion was caused by dynamite;
the defense that it was caused by gas.
The new Hall of Records, in which
the trial is being held. Is only a stone's
throw from the scene of the explosion.
Counsel for the defense, headed by
Attorney Clarence S. Darrow of Chi
cago, in questions to the jury and argu
ments to Judge Bordweil. sought to
depict a mighty contest between or
ganized labor, the McNamara's being
union men, and its oppents. without
much opposition from the prosecu
tion. Attorney Lecompt Davis, ex
amining jurors, headed straight for
this point. "Are you aware that there
is a bitter warfare between capital and
labor?" he asked Z. T. Nelson, the first
venireman examined.
"Yes." said Nelson.
"And that most men have taken
sides?"
"Yes."
"Have you the opinion that labor
unions as they exist are proper, or that
they are inimical and a menace "
To this the prosecution objected be
cause "counsel, in asking the opinion
of the witnesses on evidence that may
arise during the trial."
"He may answer," said Judge Bord
weil. and Nelson said he was "not prej
udiced." Futher questions were met by the as
sertion from. Attorney W, J. Ford of
the prosecution, that "this is not a
union labor trial."
"Do you take the Los Angeles
Times?" and "Do you read the weekly
page devoted to animadversions on
labor?" were other questions put.
Nelson still was being questioned
when court adjourned until Friday
morning. Today is a holiday.
It was not until court opened yes
terday that the defense could make for
mal demand for separate trials for
James McNamara and his brother
John. Hence the brothers, handcuffed
together, were taken to court All Los
Angeles knew about this, but when
seven deputy sheriffs, beside the jailer
and an assistant, left the jail with th
prisoners, they found an empty street,
except for newspaper photographers
and a few stray spectators.
In the court room.
where only a
moderate crowd of spectators gather
ed, the formal opening of the case was
not heard ten feet from the bar.
"Case 6,939 James B. McNamara,"
said someone casually, after District
Attorney Fredericks had announced
his selecibn. and the trial was on.
John J. McNamara was allowed to
remain during the brief morning ses
sion, but in the efterroon the younger
brother sat alone against the rail. In
the afternoon the tables of counsel,
which had been arranged in one long
line, were changed to face each other.
Following a brief recess in the after
noon. G. C. Kemp, a venireman, was
excused because of physical inability
to stand the strain of a long trial. X.
. Spalding, secretary of the civil serv
ice commission of Los Angeles, was
excused by consent of the prosecution
after he had refused to plead exemp
tion on official grounds and the defense
had refused to challenge him.
