Darrow Trial Hearings Reveal Franklin Bribe Doings
In Los Angeles on July 2 the Darrow trial heard testimony from LeCompte Davis, ex assistant counsel for the McNamara dynamiters, about Franklin's alleged bribery role and the timing of a potential plea deal. Davis described discussions over paying Franklin and the source of funds, and noted a January 1913 claim by Franklin of a close friendship with Darrow. The session also touched on juror Bain and venireman connections, with court adjourning until Monday.
