A case where Constable Hates pii'\cil too tOI a mark for the tunning of a to 0 he had arrested I -.me up a few days ago and almost resulted in something very eerloui f??r the negro, who win probably re I . nt his rash action before he is through with the case. The negro Is named Tom Dlnklni and lives a few miles out from loWB. Magi* rate Burkett ol Dal Sell gave Mr. Hat "a of that place a war? rant for the negro, charging him with mortgaging property he did not pos? sess. When Constabl ? Hai??? went to the hour," he found Dlnklni tak? ing In wood. He stated his orrand and Dlnkins offered no resistance, asking, however, that ha be allowed t.? take the wood into the bouse and gel something to eat before be b t. This. Constable Hates agree 1 to. and the negro took the wood on into tho house and then went to his cupboard and got out something to eat. As he was coming out of the house he sud .1- nly made a grab for his gun which was lying in a corner behind tho door and before Constable Bates suspected anything suspicious he was looking down the muzzle of a double barrel shotgun, of which both hammers were cocked. Tho negro then calmly bade him leave the house and get off hie place "right quick." Bates tried to argue, but the negro would not listen to argument and only threatened to shoot If Bates did not get aawy. There was nothing else to do, so Mr. Bates slowly backed out of the house and away up the road, keeping his eye on the negro all the while to seo that he did not intend to ehoot him in the back. At the time that the occurrence took place Mr. Bates had his pistol j In his pocket, but unfortunately had ; his overcoat on, buttoned up over the woapon and as he could not get at It Immediately he did not try to draw It at all. He had been fooled by the negro's seem'ng willingness to go when he w is first arrested and had not though*, it necessary to draw his weapon when he made the arrest. La? ter on the negro made threats against any one who attempted to take him. stating that he would not go alive and that he would shoot anyone who came to arresf. him. j These threa;s brought Magistrate T>,,rr",t? nyid C^r^tibV Ttstea *~ t^-'" where they were told by the Sheriff and county at:ornoy |0 take the tV gro. no matter if the> had to kill him, if be igain r..dst"d arresl The ne? gro got wind of those reports and thought that a party armed with '.Vinchesters wis coming to arrest him, so he thought better of his former statements and came in and gave himself up to Constable Bates, i begging him not to prosecuto him for his former reslstence. The negro is now in Jail awaiting trial on the' charge of giving a mortgage on prop- ' erty which he did not have and it is probable that he will also be prose- 1 cuted on the charge of resisting ar- ' rest and threatening an officer in the discharge of his dut>.

LOS ANGELES DYXAMJTEitS ABANDON HOPELESS FIGHT, Throe Lawyers Finding it Impossiblej To Sa vi* Labor Leader Murderers Advise Thcni to Confess in Open <<>urt?They Will Escape the Lai. lows But Will get Long Terms of Imprisonment L.?s Angelest Cel., Dec. L?-James ii. McNamara pleaded guilty t" mur- 1 I (1?t in the drat degree In Judge Wai t?r Bordwell'a court today. ills brother, John J. McNamara, secretary of the International Association of Bridge iiTid Structural iron Workers, entered a plea of guilty to having dynamited tho Llewellyn iron Worka in Los Angeles on Christmas day, mo. James B, McNamara'a confession 1 chars up absolutely the tragedy of ths explosion and Are, which at ls07 o'clock on the morning of October li itnn, wrecked the plant of the Loa Angeles Times at First and Broadway i-nd caused the death of -l persons. For 1 of these deaths the McNamara brothers were Indicted, and J. B. Mc Xn.mara was on trial specifically for the murder of Charles J. Haggerty, a machinist, whose body was found nearer than that of any other to the epot where the dynamite was sup? posed to have been placed. F.oth men's sentences were set for December 5, when It is expected Dis? trict Attorney John D. Fredericks will ask for life imprisonment 'or James B, McNamara, the confessed murderer, and probably 14 years' im? prisonment for his brother. The men's lives are considered saved. The great contention that the Los Angeles Times was not dynamited is dead be? yond resurrection or argument. Tonight as the two brothers sat to? gether in the county jail, refusing to see any one or make any statement, an interest second only to the occur? rence itself hung about the question with reference to James B. Mc? Namara- "Why did he confess?'* To this, opposing counsel gave the same answer. MHe Confessed because he was giutly, and that's all there is to it," declared District Attorney Fredericks. "ITe was counseled to confess be ! cause that was the best thing he j could do, in the opinion of counsel," said Attorney Clarence S. Darrow. chief of counsel. "I Will spy now that ?v,?rr. ^"^a no other reason or motive '.n it. I've studied this aae for ; month;1. It prei >nted 1 itone wall " I ^arrow's atatement v ia mode ' toklng sQuai dy In th< ? 1 as of mo* I charges that toe recent arrest oi Burt H. Franklin, an investigator em ployed by the defense, and two oth? ers with him might have precipitated a situation untenable save by confes? sion of the prisoner. "Negotiations have been on for weeks." asserted Darrow. and this was corroborated by District Attor? ney Fredericks. "We expected at one time that Jim would confess last Monday, but he would not," said Darrow. Darrow also denied that external pressure was exerted from union labor sources and Socialist sources as (Jen. Harrison Gray Otis charged to? night in a formal statement, or that the municipal election to be held next Tuesday, in which Job ITarrLman, one of th ? defense's counsel, is candidate for mayor, carried any weight. it w:'s learned that ITarriman was not consulted at all in the deliberations. While gaunt and hoarse. Harriman leaned against the wall of his office and confirmed this. "The trial has nothing to do with local Issues." he said. A telegram from Darrow to Andrew Gallagher, a San Francisco labor leader, confirmed this declaration. a brotherly affection bordering on worship it became known tonight, brought about James I?. McXamara's confession. \ desire to save his brother from the necessity of con fesslng anything at all held back day ;,rter day the word that would end the trial. "Joe. Is not In on this deal." the palefaeed man reiterated with Insist? ence h' a of one great Idea. "I don't care what happens to me." "Be e one <i ?es wrong does not j si^i . ? both are wrong," said ! Mr. it 1 I a matter of fact, j 1 im did n<?t mean to kill inj Th? y have told me the 1 whet y, and it is substantially ns ;'. h s ??>en I dd In the press, ex? cept there was really no criminal in tent. It was meant as a acare to The Tinos, and 1 doubl whether there was enough explosive to really do the mage th.it w.ih done, but, of course, gas helped. Bul the crime Is the I same no matter what the intent. "Why didn't you wail until after Tuesday'* elections?" Darrow was I rsked. "Don'l you know tins will hurt Job llarriman's chances to be olected inapor ?" "I know, but we could ' t take any chancea. Maybe the 81 " would have backed oui of their agreement, Lives v. - r ? at itakf and 1 *t saved them." "It was evidence gathered by the Statu of California that brought about this idea," I'arrow said whni ask< ' whet means he believed U) have heen m'.ct uffertive. "That wee evidence," he added, emphasising the "was." Attorney Joseph Scott of the de fense told of ths long argumentative session with James B. VtcNamara in which counsel urged him to plead guilty. "I'll plead guilty all right," he Anally agreed, "if you will leave Joe <j. J. McNamara) out of it." "We can't do thai," he was told, "It's both or neither. May be you will be hanged." "Maybe i will," said James B., chewing gum. "it won t look nice and it won't i <] nice,",ea.10 an attorney sharply. "i don't mind hanging for the principle involved " said the man stubbornly, and many hours were ?pent convincing him that he b^st could serve bis brother by allowing him to plead to the wrecking of the Llewellyn Iron Works. The indictment against Ortie Mc Manigal, indicted with J. J. McNa rnara In the case of the Lelewellyn Iron Works, Is still pending. So far as has been learned less than a dozen men knew when court opened what was going to happen. Judge Fordwell did not betray his information, but chatted about the possibility of a session. Malcolm Mc? Laren, representative of the detective agency which brought about the fir rests, wa3 denying a report that Mc Manlgal had refused to confess. Fredericks brought his wife *.o court and G. R. Uolton. W. Joseph and S. L. Vermilya, his deputies, knew what was coming. So did coun? sel for the defense, the two prisoners, Samuel L. Brown, chief of the investi? gation for the State and Harry M. Sullivan, an investigator for the de? fense. The jury was dincharged at 3:10 p. m. The prisoners were taken back to jail, Judge Walter Bordwell retired to bis ( hambers and opposing counsel went to thelT rooms. "Tho McNamaras have pleaded guilty because th'y are guilty," was District Attorney John D. Fredericks' crisp comment. "If I'd have seen any way out of It WS would not have done it," said Clarence S. Darrow after court. "We have had it under consideration since a week ago Monday. I am glad it's over with. It has been the greatest ^???ain of my life. The Los Angeles ? ties I ulldlng vas blowi op by Jai i McNamara v Ith nHroglycoiine >te i iure; but the b ml touched? off Lhe ?i iunc to wrestle hard with the McNamara brothers to get admis? sion?" he was asked. "Somewhat, but the facts have been overwhelming. Every loophole was gathered in by the Stae. As far as I am concerned I felt that sooner or later it had to come. Things were happening In which big people are in? terested. The movement was impell? ing. They wanted the matter cleared up and feared further bloodshed un? less we obliterated the incident from Los Angeles at once. "< ?f course I felt that T have helped the McNamaras by getting them to plead, In so far as they probably will not be pt-ntenced to death. Life im? prisonment has been meted out to James B. and John will get off with a light sentence." District Attorney Fredericks inti? mated he would recommend life im? prisonment for James B., and that John J. probably would have to serve a short term.
