Darrow was openly charged Thursday, for the first time since the Darrow bribery trial began, more than six weeks ago, by a witness on the stand with having personally of­ fered him a bribe to turn over to him certain evidence against the McNa- mara brothers. Guy Biddiuger. a Chicago detective sergeant, temporarily employed by Detective William J. Burns and one of the men who arrested James B. McNamara and Ortie McManigal, was on the witness stand. He testified he had pretended to accept Darrow's of­ fer, and that, while in San Francisco last August, had arranged so that Darrow could secretly view a confer­ ence between William J. Burns and Eugene A. Clancy, a San Francisco labor leader. Darrow, the witness said, had told him he wished to learn who, in the In­ ner councils of the McNamara de­ fense, had been "tipping off" secret information to Burns. Biddinger told him that it was Clancy, and that if he came to San Francisco at a certain time he would show him Clancy and Burns together. The defense gained what was re­ garded as an important victory when Judge Hutton sustained an objection to the testimony of Waldo Falloon, one of the shorthand reporters who took down the conversations between Darrow aad John R. Harrington through a telephonic device. Falloon admitted that he heard only parts of the conversation. His note book was turned over to a court reporter en­ gaged by the defense, who, according to Attorney Rogers, could not decipher the notes. 3ENERAL ESTENOZ 18 KILLED IN BATTLE WITH FEDERALS.
