1’ TRAPS. MURDERER Bit for Accident Frank Mo- ‘Namara Would Have Es- caped Arrest for the Killing of G. R. Jennings in Brooklyn. EMPLOYEE HAPPENED ~ TO PASS THE DOOR, }* N Saw the Accused Man; He Says, Fire Shot and Then Place the Pistol in the Hands of His * Victim. T spite ofthe fact that there-was an witness to his crime, Frank McNa- mara, of Elgin, Ill., stood in the Adams! Btreet Police Court in Brooklyn to-day and declared that he did not kill George R, Jehnings; President of the Jennings Adjustable Shade Company, in the Iat~ ter’s office ut No, 105 Liberty street, that borough yesterday. It is the merest accident that the; death of Jennings does not go down in “police history as a suicide. McNamara\ planned the murder with great care, travelled n thousand miles to consum- mate {t and might have gone back to Elgin entirely unsuspected but that at the psychological moment Frank Hi ; the manager of the company, pa in front of the door of the Pres- {dent's office and, peeping in, saw Mo- Namara shoot down his victim and then place the revolver in the dead mau's hand. Having completed the work he came all the way from Elgin to do, the mur- derer walked calmly away, not know- dng that it had all been seen. He didn’t have long to congratulate himself on his ounning, for Within a few minutes he was attacked in the street by Hughes and John Madden, another employee ~ of the factory, and was held by them until @ policeman could be summoned. Prisoner Is Calm. MoNamara sat in a chair in his cell in the Adame street station all night, but to-day when taken to Police Head- quarters was calm and collected. He was photographed and measured and then taken batk to the Police Court. ‘White \waiting to be arraigned before Magistrate Dooley he agreed to give an Evening World reporter a full account of his relations with the dead man. “It has been said," sald McNamara, “that I was jealous of Jennings because he had tried to break up my family. That {s an outrageous lbel on a good woman. My wife is the mother of my @ight children and never had anything to do with this man. That version of my trouble with this man was undoubt- edly invented to conceal the facts, which reflect little credit on Jennings and on hig partner, Bterk. “*f waa for a good many years the head of the Fahy Watch Case factory, at Sag Harbor. I Nad a large family, but in eighteen years I managed to save $2,200. A year ago before I went to Bigin’I couldn't make up my mind what to invest tIils money in. I dfan't wart to put it in a bank for fear I would draw it out and spend it, I bad known Sterk for a long time and knew he had gone into business with Jen- nings. T met him one day and he told me the business was in a bad way for the lack of a little money, I offered to lend him $200 and he took It, giving me a note. ‘Then I met Jennings and he asked me to lend him a couple of thousand dollars. I let have $1,500, .and ae gave me three Aotes for the money. Then I went West with my family RANK M’NAMARA ARRAIGNED IN COURT, AND ; GEORGE R.

So I pald my 00 down and agreed to) pay the balance as soon as I could collect on the notes I held. I waited a reasonable: time for Jennings and Sterk to pay me and then deposited the notes In a bank for collection. Word came back from Brooklyn that there was no money to meet the notes, “I wrote to Jennings and got no answer. So I cam months ago and saw him. He laughed in my face when I asked for my monet and told me I'd better sue for it as that was the only way I could get I understand that Sterk says he me $760 in settlement of my claim. That is a lle for I never got a cert from these two. “I left Jennings's office and went to Smith & McNell'’s Hotel. 1 was des- perate, for I believed I had been swin- dled.

That attempt at suicide was due to the outrageous way in which 1 had been treated. I was saved from that, however, and then went back to Kigin a broken: man.

Then he sald to me: ‘Get out or I'll give you this." “I left him then, fearing he would use the pistol on me, and the next I knew I was attacked on the street by two men, who sald they wanted me for murder, My arrest followed, I did not KI Jennings, although I ought to havi case was called, but sald he would ge! on here some) his story and then committed him to) the Raymond Street Jail. from the version given by McNamara. Hughes says that he passed the door of Jennings's office just after McNamara entered: that he saw the latter point pistol at Jennings and heard Jennings aay, “You're wrong, Mac’— and that| British Monarch Atones for Snub then the fatal shot was fired, As he watched he saw McNamara walk over and place the pistol in the dead man’s hand. Hughes did not know McNamara, but as the latier left the office he called Sterk, and Sterk recognized the man. He ordered Hughes and Madden to fol- low MeNamara and have him arrested, -| and they did so. Sterk went in to Jen- nings in the hope of getting a state- ment from him, but Jennings was dead, the bullet having passed through his heart, 4 Denied the Shooting. At the Adams street station Mc- Namare dented that he had done the shooting. He sald the had seen Jennings in his office, but had gone there to col- lect money due him and had left to get a glass of beer. Ho had just left the saloon, he said, when he was assaulted by two men. He refused to talk of his business with Jennings until he had employed counsel. About a year ago McNamara came here from Elgin and stopped at Smith & MoNell's hotel. ~He drank, consider- ably, and, it is said, while under the influence of liquor talked of his domestic troubles. On March 6 he was found overcome by gas, having. attempted sulcide, While recovering at the Hudson Street Hospital he told the doctors he would “do Jennings at the first opportunity.” When he was released he left town and hax not been seen here since until he entered Jennings's office just before the tragedy. Jealous of Dead Man. Adolph Sterk, treasurer of the Jen- nings Company, said; “McNamara was linsanely jealous of Jennings, alleging the latter had been too friendly with his wife, There was also trouble about ‘pany a certa!
