the detective who has caused the ar-
rest of John J. McNamara. secretary-
treasurer of the International Asso-
ciation of Bridge, Structural and Orn-
amental Iron Workers; his brother,
James B. MdNamara, and Ortie Mc-
Manigal, following his investigation
of the series of dynamite outrages
that began with the blowing up of
the plant of the Los Angeles Times.
"I state emphatically" says
Burns, "that the case against these
men as directing and executing the
series of dynamite and nitro-glycerine
explosions is fully and legally es-
tablished by irrefutable evidence.
This is the most astounding, wide-
spread, most cold-blooded and most
disastrous conspiracy to destroy
property and human lives ever ex-
posed in the United States."

made a complete confession to the
district attorney and sheriff with four
detectives presnet. He repeated all
the sensational admissions made be-
fore and told of dynamiting plots ex-
tending over three years and of the
destruction of four million dollars
worth of property.
He accused Secretary McM&mara
of being the originator and controlling
genius and paymaster of the conspir-
acy.
McMamara is indifferent to McMan-
igal'8 confession and issued a state-
ment protesting his innocence and
asking the public not to form any
opinion until his defense was pre-
sented .

| Okmulgee, Okla., April 2S The
county court -esslon Just closing has
been remarkable In the part of the
stale for the large number of con-
victions secured against bootleggers
and gamblers.
It is the first time in years that
results of any consequence have
been secured in the local courts.
The credit is due to three offl-
cials, two democrats and one re-
publican. as follows: ('. F. Roach,
sheriff; .1. W. Childers, county at-
troney, and George A. Johns. Judge
of the county court.
These men were elected last Tall
on what was known as the law-en-
forcement ticket, and were eleeled
by large majorities.
In Ihe last three months It is said
that over 400 men in the towns of
Okmulgee, Henryetta, Beggs, and
Morris, all In Okmulgee county, have
left there either because of grand
jury Indictments or the fact that they
found that it was no longer possible
to do business In the county and es-
cape arrest. For the first time in
many years tho entire county is dry,
and even the "wise ones" cannot tell
where one can get liquor.
