rBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.
Chicago, July 10.-Bauereisen, Broderck and Goding
the three remaining defendants the Burlington dyna
mite conspiracy case, to-day held 10 the Grand
Jury in sums Of $4,000 each by United states Com
missioner Hoyne. When the court opened today the
defendants counsel asked the Dlstrct-A Attorney II he
had rested his case and receiving affirmative reply
said
Then we rest our and prepared to discuss
the proOfs.-
We do not care to mako any argument said Mr..
Ewing Tho defence thought that 1t was only fair
that the prosecution should state the grounds upon
which it asked that any Of the defendants should be
held.
There seems to be no need OF that. We simply
ask that they be held on the evidence
Tho defence obliged to begin the argument.
Mr. David said:
Il have nerve and brains enough TO say to You
that Frederick should be held to the Grand Jury.
and brains, too to say to you that court
that will hold Cooling this evidence IS unworthy
the Of an American citizen, and II you hold this
young man you have the best interests OF society
at heart"
Commissioner HOyne sat unmoved and did not re-
The only connection Goding had with the case
was In the that he Smith order for pack
age whether its contents dynamite or potatoes
Mr.. Donahuc then commented on the evidence
given By Bowles. whom he stlgmatized as murderer
at heart, and said that even he had not implicated
Godlng. The only evidence against him IS that he
went with Smith TO his house He said that there was
no evidence against Baueresen, either, the only
time his name was mentioned was by Bowlcs. There
had been great deal Of talk but there had not been
scintla Of testimony that went to show that either
Bauereisen or Broderck was guilty OF the offence Tor
which he was arrested. The Coult then announced
his decision follows.
al am free to say thE the evidence against Godng
not strong as against some OF the other ue-
fendants but think that his connection with them
has been shown. think that would not be doing
my duty II l did not hold all the defendants TO the
Grand Jury. II they can prove that they are In
noccnt it will be so much TO their credit must hold
Bauereisen Frederick and Goding to the Grand Jury
Mr. Ewing thought that the bail should be $1,000 In
each case, but Mr.. David objected saying that
Broderck could not furnish that amount Of ball This
would necessltate his incarceration In jail for four or
five months for offence the full penalty for which
is an Imprisonment for month. Commissioner
Hoyne decided, however, to let the bonds remain at
$4,000 for the present but said that he would hear
an application for a reduction OF the amount after a
consultation with the lawyers After the bail had been
fixed by the court the three prisoners taken into
the MashaIs Office where Bauereisen waited for his
bondsmcn TO appear that he could secure his re-
lease. Outside, however, Deputy sherifs Burke
and Cleveland, armed with warrant for his arrest
under the state dynamite law. The warrant was
sworn out before Justice Lyons and issued under
the statute which provides for punishment OF not less
than FIVE nor moro than twenty-five years imprson-
ment Bauerclsen Will be prosecuted on this charge
which IS the same that against the three Anarchists
There was no warrant sworn out for the other TWO
prisoners, because they are not able to give ball
How many more warrants have yon got against
:" asked Mr. David Of Mr. Collier. as his client was
being led out of the court
We have several. and going 10 arrest him
on every one of the charges the uncompromising
reply. These warrants for offences committed In
Aurora and VIII be served as soon as possible Ihere
are also warrants for Broderick and Cooling but as
these two are not able to obtain ball. they will not be
served till they released from the County JAIL
1t the intention Of the prosecution 10 have trial
before Justice Lyon to-day but Bowles Will be brought
Into the court TO give enough evidence to determine
the amount OF bail and then the case Will be continued
II wa; decided 20 take Bauercisen 10 Aurora this after
noon, whore the other warrants Will be served
member OF one of the grievance committees now In
session here said to-day that little done yester
day except to receive testimony which has been gath
cred relative to the dynamite conspiracy.
The testimony not all n,' said ". H. Huskey,
chairman Of the Chicago and Alton committee, but We
had enough show that BOwes, Broderck wilson and
Smith are all Pinkerton PlnkertOn has had men
In our organization for years and they arc getting In
their work We have also learned that not an ounce
of dynamite has been exploded on the Burlington
tracks. How do knowi We have men who know
the effects Of dynamite men who have seen an engine
blown all to pieces by few ounces Of dynamite ID me
city OF Denver during the Denver and Rio Grande
strife CnN result Of this meeting Will be full and
free inves tgaton Of the alleged dynamite conspiracy
II any Of members are guilty they VIII De turned
over TO the authorities We shall protect the integrity
within
The following resolution was adopted by the chair
men of the grievance committees Of the various rail-
wav systems who are IN session here to-day
While we do not withdraw a word OF our denun-
c!atlon of the Of dynamite, we do not want the
rublic to suppose we are cOndemning the men under
accusation The exposures OF the last few days show
that many of the men nnder arrest were detectives
acting under the direction Of the Infamous PnkertOn
gang II is easy 10 how such villains cOuln
manufacture evidence against innocent men and put
up Jobs that would make unsis pecting men say ana
do things which could afterwad be tortured into the
appearance OF criminaly. The whole business LOOKS
al this time like a policy adopted to nlure and dis
grace the wOrklngmen who are on strike. We as
sure the public that have no sympathy whatever
with lawiess ness. but appeal 70 all fair-minded
citizens 10 withhold judgment against the men under
accusation until they have been fairly tried In court
which knows the law and tho rules OF evidence, and
which will administer them impartially.'
