FOR DYNAMITE CRIMES
Whe Above Was the Punishment
Meted Oat to James B. McNamara,
While John J. McNamara, Who
Hew Up the Llewellyn Iron Works,
Was Given Fifteen Years.
A dispatch from Los Angeles, Cal.,
mjs James Barnabas McNamara and
John J. iMcNamara, brothers, nat|ves
of Cincinnati, Ohio, Tuesday felt the
strong hand of justice which they
long had sought to evade.
J. B. McNamara was sentenced to
imprisonment for life, for murder
ommitted in dynamiting the Los
Angeles Times building and killing
twenty-one persons, and his brother
to fifteen years in the penitentiary
for blowing up the Llewellyn Iron
Works.
It was the retaliatory action of the
law against thoso lawless methods
f which John J. McNamara, secretary
and treasurer of the International
Association of Bridge and Structural
Iron Workers, pursued in fighting
mployers who kept open shops.
P Though the younger Brother,
James B., in formally presenting his
confession to the Court Tuesday, declared
that he intended no murder
when he placed sixteen sticks of dyn

October 1, 1910, John J. McNamara,
recounting to his attorneys his principles,
broke down as he muttered
that he fought against great odds
in the best way he could. It was a
sequel to the Court scene earlle;
Tuesday when he received his sentence
In tears of abject surrender.
A few hours after the sentences
were pronounced by Judge Bordwell,
word went forth that subpoenas
would be Issued for both McNamaras
to appear before- a Federal grand
Jury to divulge further details of
a dheir dynamiting conspiracies.
* The United States Government will
^ demand of them information concerning
Inter-State trafficking In
dynamite, which is alleged to have
resulted in more than 100 explosions
at bridges and factories where labor
welfare was involved.
Something of the same fear of terrorism
brought by those explosions
ditted through a crowd of nearly 15,
00 persons Tuesday, as it surged
^ back and forth around the jail, expecting
to see the McNamaras taken
to the Hall of Records, where previous
scenes in the trial had been enacted.
Rut the Court and counsel,
taking cognizance of possible lawlessness,
held the final session In a ]
Court room adjoining the jail, and j
the prisoners were taken thither over i
p an interior bridge passageway. j
"I never carried a gun until to- {
day, since the McNamara affair start- ]
ed,M confided Samuel L. Browns, ,
chief official of the State department <
of investigation, when his detectives ]
reported to him that suspicious char- j
acters by the scores were scattered ]
in the crowd. ]
Judge Bordwell changed his mind j
^ several times, but took final precau- j
tion and held Court in the small {
chamber beside the Jail. Outside the j
crowd begged for entrance. An army
of policemen fought its efforts. To i
the Hall of Records, not far distant, t
^ the mass of humanity moved back i
and forth in confusion and even (
many who really were entitled to ad- f
mission were denied that privilege, $
In the Hall of Records, floors and i
stairways were choked with the cur- t
lous. Only a hundred persons saw t
the two brothers led through the t
narrow passageway into the chamber c
beside the jail. ,

HUNT THE! DOWN
!
BLOODHOUNDS ARB ON THB
TRAIL OF THE WHITE MEN.
Who Murdered and Burned Three
Negroes in a Wagon Loaded With
Cotton Out In Tennessee.
Adispatch from Savannah. Tenn.,
days four white men were fugitives
from a posse of prominent planters
who sought to avenge the murder of
a respected colored farmer and tne
lynching of his two daughters. The
slayers burned the bodies of their
victims on a load of the farmer's cotton.
Bloodhounds were put on the trail
of the slayers and the whole countryside,
aroused by the atrocity of the
deed, arose and Joined in the pursuit.
It was conceived that if caught the
slayers would be lynched.
iMystery surrounded the triple
slaying. The identity of the murderers,
beyond the fact that they are
white men, was unknown. There was
no apparent motive for the crime.
Ben Pettigrew and his two young
daughters, who lived on a farm near
Fishers Landing, were the victims.
Pettigrew had borne a reputation for
honosty and trustworthiness unequaled
among the colored people of
that section of the country and was
regarded as highly as any member
of his race in the South.
Pettigrew was driving a load of
cotton from his farm to Savannah.
On the road a few miles from this
place four white men appeared and
shot him to death as he sat in the
seat of his wagon.
Then they dragged his two daughters
from the top of the load and
hanged them to a nearby tree. While
their .bodies dangled from a limb the
slayers drove the load of cotton under
them and set flre to it.
Other farmers who were driving
along the road saw the blazing cotton
and hurried to the scene, arriving
in time to see the four slayers
escape into a dense thicket. They
gave pursuit, but were unable to
overtake the slayers.
The bodies of Pettigrew and his
daughters were burned to a crisp before
the burning cotton couid be
extinguished.
The authorities were notified of
the slaying and at once organized a
posse. The most prominent and
wealthy planters in that section of
the country volunteered to aid in
running down the fugitives and an
alarm was sent throughout the countryside.
MOB LISTENS TO REASON.
Delivers to Sheriff Laurens Boy
Charged With Serious Offense.
The prompt action, Wednesday
night, of Sheriff Owlngs, Deputy Reid
and Rural Policeman Sullivan, and
the cool conduct of the officers after
arriving upon the grounds, probably
saved Robert Moody, a 16-year-old
negro boy from the hands of an angry
srowdj of citizens bent on meeting
jut ot the negro summary vengeance
tor his alleged conduct towards two
drls of Laurens. The trouble occur
rod in the vicinity of Watts Cotton
Mills, near the city, and after an appeal
to the crowd to let the law take
ts course, Moody was delivered to
:he officers and by them lodged in
tail.
It seems that Moody late Tuesday
ifternoon accosted the young girls
is they were returning heme in a
Juggy from the mill, where the older 1
)f the two Is employed. Springing 1
rom hiding on the roadside the uejro,
so the story goes, seized the ]
nule by the reins and bringing the ?
earn to a stop, sprang to the side of ^
he buggy and demanded with oaths
hat the young ladies get out. With- '
>ut waiting, it is said, the boy then 1
lade an effort to force them to alight,
vhen the screams of both frightened 1
tim away.
Driving hurriedly to their home, J

MURDERER IS BARGED
It Wm Thought at First That" the
Negro Had Again Escaped, But
His Wound Was Slight* and the
Execution of the Sentence Followed
Shortly Afterward,
A special dispatch from Washing
ton, Ga., to toe Atlanta Constitution
says the climax to the murder case
of T. B. Walker, perhaps the most
remarkable criminal case in many
particulars ever tried in Georgia,
came Wednesday at 11 o ciuck when
Walker was being resentenced to be
hanged for the murder of Charles
Hollenshead on the night of October
28.
Judge B. P. Walker arrived Wednesday
morning at 10:30 o'clock and
at once called a special session of the
Wilkes superior court for the purpose
of passing a second death sentence
on the negro Walker, who was
brought from Augusta by automobile
at daylight.
After the sentence of the court
had been pronounced and the time
fixed for Walker's execution at 2
o'clock Wednesday, John C. Hollonshead,
of Lincoln county, a brother
of the murdered man, attempted to
kill the negro prisoner before he
could be taken back to his cell.
Only one shot was ilred, and that
took effect in the right cheek of the
condemned negro. The court house
was well filled when the shot was
fired and consternation reigned for a
time.
A hasty exit of a score of citizens,
together with a yell of "where is
Walker," gave the impression that
the negro had made another sensational
dash for liberty.
The negro was only slightly
wounded and was rushed from the
side door to the Jail adjoining the
court house by Sheriff Bobo, where
his flesh wound was dressed by the
county physician.
Walker was not sufficiently wounded
to interfere with his legal execation,
which occurred Wednesday afternoon
at 2 o'clock. His neck was
broken and he was pronounced dead
in eight minutes.
Hollenshead suffered a physical
and nervous collapse after the shooting
in the court house and was taken
from the building by several friends.
He had since the death of his brother
advised that Walker be given a
legal execution.
During the last search of four
days and nights, HollensheaJ, who is
a prominent planter of Lincoln county,
had joined the county officials in
the hunt for Walker and was not in
control 01 nis racuiues.
Walker killed C. S. Holelnshead, a
prominent man of affairs of Wilkes
county, with a load of buckshot on
the night of October 28 at Hollenshead's
store near Washington.
He was captured the same night
about ten miles f:*om Washington
and was delivered to Deputy Sheriff
John W. Calloway, from whom he
was taken by a mob at midnight, bent
on lynching. He escaped from the
mob as they attempted to take him
from a buggy to string him up, and
was recaptured November 2 in Lincoln
county and was taken to Atlanta
for safe keeping.
On November 8 he was tried at the
regular term of the Wilkes superior
?ourt and sentenced to be hanged on
November 29.
Following the first sentence Walk91'
was taken to A'ugusta for safe
keeping and was being taken to
Washington on the night of November
28 for execution the noxt day,
ivhen he escaped from Deputy Sheriff
Florence at Barnett.
On December 3 Walker was recaptured
near Gibson, Ga., by ex-Senator
H. A. Williams, who hastened
vith him to Augusta, where he renained
until Tuesday nigut, when
le was taken to Washington and
jaid the penalty of death for his
jrime, which he confessed.

small piece or metai, narrower ai un?
end, has its sides turned under to
form grooves. The forward end has
a seat on which the back of the iron
rests, and the rear end has a tongue
turned down through the center to
act as a guide. This will either fold
one edge of a large piece of cloth or
both edges of a narrow strip. In either
instance the iron passes over the
cloth as it is turned down and presses
It flat. Where cloth is folded by hand
[ it is impossible to obtain the accurate
edge given by this little implement,
and the work takes a great deal longer
to accomplish.

YOUNG HAN RUNS AWAY
#
UNION POLICEMAN DISAPPEARS
WITH CITY'S CASH.
I-eft His Young Wife and Two Little
Children to Fight It Out All
Alone.
A special to the Columbia Record
from Union says Sergeant C. B.
Gregory of the police force of that
city, has left for parts unknown, and,
it is alleged, since his disappearance
it has been discovered that the city
is short of $403, which he had collected
for fines and $235, which was
the net amount the police department
received from the carnival held
here recently, and $17, an overdraft
on a bank.
It seems that Gregory disappeared
last Thursday night or Friday, the
first intimation that he had gone being
a note, which his wife found under
his pillow Friday morning. This
note reads: "Am leaving home; will
take care of you and babies. You
will hear from me soon. Yours, C."
The matter was kept quiet for a
while, pending an investigation, but
the news soon leaked out. Chief of
Police Evans was very busy Monday
with others checking over the police
accounts and it is Chief of Police
Evans' statement that the amount
short in all is $665. Gregory, it is
? _ *
alleged, signed nis own name ana
that of H. H. Hicks, who was one of
the custodians of the carnival fund,
to the check.
Soon after Gregory's disappearance,
Chief of Police Evans went In
search of him, but returned without
having located him. It is understood
that there is an effort on foot to
make up the amount that Gregory
took, but Mayor Duncan stated that
the law would have to take its
course, although as yet a warrant has
not been issued.
Gregory is a man about 2C years
old, rather tall and of a nice appearance.
He leaves a wife and two children.
It is reported that he had been
drinking rather heavily lately.
CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Colored Elevator Man Taken Into
Custody and Held.
For the murder of Isaac S Vogel,
a wealthy dealer in gems, in New
York, Joseph Roberts, a negro elevator
man, was held without bail by the
coroner Wednesday night, upon
charges made by detectives who
questioned him all afternoon. Roberts
asserts his innocence, but admits,
the police say, the ownership
of yellow shoes, spattered with blood,
found not far from the body, a ring
and fountain pen belonging formerly
to the dead man.
Roberts explains the blood on the
shoes by Baying that he stepped in
the pool around the dead man's
head; declares he bought the ring
two weeks ago, and that he picked up
trie pen iroin toe noor eariy Wednesday.
The thieves lifted from the dead
man's body gems valued at $10,000.
Vogel's watch was found later in the
basement. It bore finger prints,
through which the police hope to
soivvict the murderer.

Folly or Perfidy Can Prevent Hiq
Nomination for President by DeoN
ocrats.
In a commuication to The Rockj
Mountain News, Denver, Col., former
United States Senator Frank J. Cannon,
in speaking of the Presidential
election next year, says:
1 have traveled in ten States since
leaving Colorado a month ago. The
cry of the Progressives in these
States?Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas,
Nebraska, South Dakota, Wisconsin,
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and even Missouri?is
for La Folette and Wilson.
The Progressive Democrats want the
Republican party to nominate Rob..
if r . i/1 ? 11 ? 11r.. ? r>? I .t .<
t;i v im. uu r unviiv iui uiv jti voiut'uvjrM
so that?it the Democratic party
shall lose?the people will win.
And Progressive Republicans want
the Democratic party to* nominate
Woodrow Wilson; so that?If the Republican
party shall lose?still the
people will win. You will observe
that the Progressive Dove has at last
learned wisdom from that wily old
Serpent, tho System; whose favorite
plan has been to select both candidates,
subscribe to both campaign
funds and then let the people. In
deadly earnest, fight a useless battle.
Personally, I fear that the Progressive
Republicans cannot control
their convention, although that fear
grows less as one o-serves with what
gigantic stature Da Follett? is novf,
standing in the public gaze. And it
in possible that the popular feeling]
may find effective expression in the
national convention. But it does not
seem to be probable. The office-holding
machine is powerful, insidious,
and experienced.
The Interests are desperately determined
to prevent a La Follette
term in the White Honse; and their
financial aid makes the machine almost
resistless. Frankly, I do not
believe in this talk of a fatal breach
between President Taft and Big Business.
On both sides it looks like a calculated
quarrel, a melodrama played
for national entertainment. The
need of such an affectation of battle
is too obvious. Despite his earnest
work, the people had no faith that
President Taft would solve our problem
and restore the government to
tho custody of the people. A play
was needed. It is being played.
But there remains Wilson, whose
nomination by the Democratic convention
can only be prevented by insanity
or perfidy?or both. Other
candidates are able; they hare sincere
advocates. Bait the Progressive
Republicans?as well as tne mass of
Democrats?want Wilson nominated;
and it is the Progressive Republicans
whose votes will decide the issue.
If both La Follette and Wilson
shall be nominated, the Progressives
of the two parties will choose between
them. If, as is more likely,
Taft shall be the Republican nominee.
Progressives of his .party
would turn almost en masse to Wilson?and
Wilson is the only possible
Democratic nominee to whom they
would turn.
They will not leave Taft in order
to vote for any Democratic ally oC
the Interests. Tliey will not desert
their own party to chance any humiliating
experiment with the other.
They want to preserve their self-respect
and at the same time perform
a high public service.
