Judge
the McNamaras confessed
horrid crimes, wrote to the pros
ecuting attorney at Los Angeles
a letter from which the following
is an excerpt:
“I offer to contribute, though
a poor man, $500 to a substantial
fund for the purpose of employ
ing lawyers and detectives of the
highest character and ability to
assist in making thorough inves
tigation by all honorable means
of Mr. Darrow’s conduct in these
cases, with a view of bringing
about his complete vindication if
innocent, and his disbarment and
punishment for crime, if guilty.
“Having myself been reared a
mechanic, I am naturally in sym
pathy with the 'legitimate ob
jects of organizations and un
ions.
“You are credited with having
stated to the press that Mr. Dar
row began negotiations with you
last July for a plea of guilty on
* the part of one of the McNamara
boys. Assuming this credited
statement to be correct, Mr. Dar
row, it appears, has made some
effort since that time, not only

nocence of the McNamaras, but
also to gather together of the
savings of the workingmen of
this country a substantial for
tune estimated through the press
anywhere from one-quarter of a
million to one million dollar ;.
“The controversy has become
a public one and every good cit
izen has a right to demand eith
er the vindication or punishment
of men higher up than the Mc
Namaras.”
So far as we know response to
Judge Harris’ letter has not been
made, although every well mean
ing man must acknowledge that
the point it carries is one that se
riously affects good citizenship.
Harrow, according to his reputed
statement, has known ever since
last August that the McNamaras
were guilty of the crime with
which they were charged,'yet
during all that time he assured
the members of the labor unions
that they were innocent, and
during all that time, too, he re
ceived the money of the unions.
nil Lilt; lime lie vv ci o uctciviug
the unions, he was taking their
hard-earned money.
It will be very difficult to con
vince the public that practices of
this sort are endorsed by honor
able members of the legal pro
fession, or that they are coun
tenanced by the code of ethics
that prevails among lawyers, for
they are nothing less than viola
tors of both civil and moral law,
and for this reason, if there were
no more cogent ones, the legal
fraternity could well afford to
join Judge Harris in the investi
gation which he proposes 4£at
the prosecuting attorney shall
make. The honor of their pro- ,
fession and the welfare of soefafe
ty demands as much.—Fort*
