Clemency Reward for Confession in McNamara Case
Los Angeles officials disclosed the negotiations leading to guilty pleas by James B. and John J. McNamara in the Times bombing case. Prosecutor Fredericks announced he rejected outside pressure, and that a yearlong push by Darrow and associates culminated in the confessions and a proposed life sentence for James B. and brief prison time for John J. The trial cost about 200000 and could save up to a million in county costs.
