After Commissioner Hoyne had refused
THE DEFENDANTS REQUEST
for separate examination for each of them,
the District Attorney srcse, and in q mat
Ter of fact way, without any attempt at
IscIted the facts that he pro-
posed to prove. During the examination,
the cheeks Of Bauerism and Goding fairly
seemed TO burn. Tne others did not betray
much, if any, surprise, and maintained a
cool demeanor.
District Attorney Ewing spoke as fol-
lOws: May il please the Court, / desire
to say, in presenting the statement Of what
expect to prove, that i think il will appear
from the evidence that On OF about May
18th last, ~ the town If Eola, four or five
miles from Aurors, there was . dynamite

Chicago, Burlington and Quincy road, and
exploded. The evidence will show that
9 tew days prior 70 the explosion At Eola.
BOwles, one Of the accused, went into the
room Of Chairman Hoge, OF the Brother
hoOd. st the lstter's room in the Grand
Pacific Hotel, Chicago, and showed him e
number Of dynamite cartridges. A very
few days afterTard, this explosion n: Eola
took place.
at will appear further that some three
or four days before the explosion, and
after the conversation between
BOwLEs AND HOGE,
Bowles ne! Smith zone OF the defendants
and talked with him about the use Of
him how il could be used !;
told him something Of its explosive poEer,
and invited him to 90 with him and they
would tx some.
The evidence will further show that on
the night Of the 29Eh Of May last, some
where about nine o'clock, Bowles procured
. buggy and q horse and, with Smith,
drove down 10 the town of E1ls On the
way down Bovles showed Smith the dyns-
mite cartridge, which corresponds with
the cartridges found in the possession of
these parties Trey drove to this
little town, drove fifty or sixty yards
rom the railroad. when Bowels got out OF
tine buggy, went over to the track and put
the cartridges on the rail, coming back
and reporting that he bad done 50; that
they drove hack 10 Aurora, and Just -
they were nearing the town the explosion
took place and part Of the epglne was
we ksd-
"A day or two later Bauerisen net
Smith on the street and said that Bovles
left package for him at Peck's Hotel
Smith went to the room Of ths hotel, es
directed by BsreriSeD, and
FOUND THE CARTRIDGE AND CAPS.
A few days after that Bsuerisen met Smith
on the street again snd asked him if be
nsd set of any Of the stuff yet, This was
on the 18th day of June. the day Of the
Brotherhood picnic. Smith told him be
had not, and BsusrIsen replied that that
would be a pretty good nigdt 70 do IT,
Smith got me cartridge and went down TO
South Aurora and bat the cartridge on the
track Of the C., B & 2. The next day af-
ter be did that be met the defendant Bauer
isen and Bauerisen again asked him If he
had let OF sny Of that stuff. He told him
that be had and Bsuerisen told him he
thought so because be had heard the explo-
sion
Now, the evidence will show that on
thst night there was an explosion at that
place. We pass now from that time to q
couple of weeks later, between the l4th
day of June and the 1st Of July. Bowles
was away, and there was correspondence
between him and Bauerisen and some 9th
ers concerning his whereabouts and what
ne wss doipf. That correspondents, In
the handwriting Of B3uerisep showed that
p---1.. -. do,,, Drp,a h1.inasS that WA
secret: that be must be careful that no one
Is watching him; that if he believes thst
the mSn be suspects Is really following
him to shoot the -, and then telling him
not to buy any more Of the stuff at pres
snt for obvious reasons"
The District Attorney further stated
that, July 5ih GOdirg gave Smith
A LETTER 10 HIS wIPK,
aod that on presenting il she gave Smith q
package containing cartridges, fuse and
caps. Smith put another paper around
the bundle and delivered il to the Brother
hood Hall at Aurora At the hall here he
met Rroderick, BoWlss and Bauerish, and
said to one Of them that package is ont in
the ante nom The evidence will snow
that cry little while after that Broder-
iek, Bowles, Bsusrissn and Wilson all went
out Of the hall together; that Broderiek
had this pseksge in his arm; they went
down 70 tie train together, coming to
Chicago, and the three, leaving out Bauer-
issn, took the train 20 come here and carried
that package on to the trsin, and were
arrested upon the train, and when that
psekage was examined il was found to con-
tain four half pound dynamite cartridges,
and in Broderiek's possession . number Of
these Eliminating caps that can be used for
no other purposes that know Of on earth
bat TO explode that internal stun"
The remainder Of the District Attorney q
statement was then wound mp by describ-
iny the deadly nature Of the cartridge rs
demonstrated By experiments made by him
and the u. s Marshal yesterday.
A new point in regard to the famous

Of the conspiracy proceedings, . the state
