THEY MUST STAND TRIAL.
Commissioner Hoyne Thinks the Evidence
strong Enough to Hold the Dynamiters
TO the Grand Jury-Bauereisen Rear
rested and Taken to Aurora to Answer
Other Charges.
CHICAGO, July 20--Another chapter was
added to the %" dynamite plot Thurs
day. No sooner lad J. A. Baucrcisen given
5000 bond for his appearance be-
fore the United States Federal Court
In which sum he was held by Com
missioner Hoyne-than he was rearrested
on State warrant charging him with be-
ing instrumental in importing dynamite
within the State of Illinois. He was taken
before Justice Lyon and again placed un-
der 5000 bonds for his appearance
Saturday morning, when he will have
preliminary examination. The bond was
furnished by Edmund G. and Martin A.
Fielder, brothers-in-law of Bauereisen.
At the threshold Of Justice Lyons court
room Bauereiscn was met by deputy
sheriff on warrant signed by
police magistrate at Aurora,
ILL.,, charging him with being the instigator
Of the placing Of dynamite on the 20"
tracks at Eola, near Aurora The last ar
rest occurred at $3.50 o'clock p m, and an
hour later Bauereisen was on his way to
Aurora to answer to the last charge.
The hearing before Commissioner Hoyno
terminated soon after court opened. The
defense placed no witness on the stand,
nor did any Of the defendants make
statement. Counsel for the Gov
ernment declining to argue the
case, feeling that their evidence had
been sufficiently clear to hold all the de-
fendants to the grand jury. Attor-
neys Donahoe q David, however, made
strong appeals to the commissioner
to liberate Cooling and Bauereisen.
Broderick, they admitted, should DO
bound over, and they were willing
that he should But as for the
other two the young attorneys held that
they were absolutely guiltless Of any
dynamite plot. Commissioner Hoyne
thought differently. He admitted that
the evidence against Cooling was not
very strong, but the Government had
shown that he at least had general knowl
edge that dynamite was being purchased
and used in the destruction of property.
He therefore held them under bonds OF
s. 600 each. Broderick and Cooling were
jailed in default of bail
