Clarefice Darrow, a leading labor advocate, faced trial in Los Angeles for alleged jury bribery linked to the McNamara defense. He stated he would not appeal to jurors’ sympathies and launched a three hour indictment of those he claimed sought to destroy him.
In a heated address Darrow rails against prosecutions as persecution for his leadership in organized labor. He denounces detectives and district attorneys and warns that prison would ignite deeper revolt with thousands more ready to sacrifice for the cause.
Darrow will conclude tomorrow morning and District Attorney Frederick Will will deliver the final argument, speaking throughout Friday. The courtroom proceedings focus on the same case as the defense and prosecution outline their closing positions.
