 CHICAGO, July 13.-The members of the Brotherhood of Engineers and Bremen ae- cused of complicity in the dynamite plot against the ''Q" railroad were arraigned this morning. District Attorney Ewing outlined l the case against the accused, his presentment I causing great sensation. There were six of I the brotherhoods arraigned, Chief Baureisen, Gooding, Wilson, Bowles, Broderiek and | Smith. The statement of the district attor- ney was apparently based largely on confes- ! sion of one of the six, Alexander Smith. The latter sat apart from the other defendants,
 and notwithstanding the efforts of his broth \ CT who was present in court declined to be represented by the brotherhood attorneys or have anything to do with them. After Com missioner Hoyne had refused the defendants' ! request for separate examination for each of them the district attorney arose and in matter of fact way, without any attempt at ! Reclamation, recited the facts that he pro- posed to prove. During the examination the | cheeks of Bauereisen and Gooding seemed to
 
 ] any surprise and maintained cool de- l meanor.
 After reviewing the charges preferred t against the prisoners MT. Ewing said the ev- | idence would show that Few days prior to i the explosion at Eola Bowles one of the ac- l cused, went into the room of Chairman Hoge ! of the brotherhood at the latter's rooms in 1 the Grand Central Hotel: Chicago, and show I ed him number of dynamite cartridges and | that they talked there about the use of these | cartridges. A few days after the explosion 1 at Eola took place. It will appear further l that some three or four days before that ex- I plosion, and after the conversation between { Bowles and Hoge, Bowles met Smith, one of | the defendants, and talked with him about | the use of dynamite. He told him how it | could be used; told him something of it's ex- plosive power and invited him to go with him and they would find some. The evi- dence would further show that on the night of May 29 last about g o'clock Bowles pro cured buggy and horse and with Smith drove down to Eola. On the way down Bowles showed Smith the dynamite cartridge which corresponds with the cartridge found { in the possession of these parties. They ! drove fifty or sixty yards from the railroad, when Bowles got out of the buggy, went \ over the track and put the cartridge on the rail, coming back and reporting that he had done so; that they drove back to Aurora and just as they were nearing the town the ex- plosion took place and part of the engine was wrecked. A day or two latter Bauereisen met Smith on the street and said that Bowles left package for him at Peck's Hotel. Smith | went to the hotel and found the cartridge l and caps. A few days after that Bauereisen | met Smith on the street again and asked ! him if he had set of any of that stuff yet this was on the 14th day of June, the day of the brotherhood picnic. Smith told him he 1 had not and Bauereisen replied that that | would be pretty good night to do it. Smith wk-f1
 to South Aurora and put the
 cartridge on the track of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy. The next day after he did that he met the defendant, Bauerei- sen, again and asked him if he had let off any of that stuff. He told him that he
 so because he had heard the explosion. ! The evidence will show that on that night | there was an explosion at the place. Be- | tween the 14th day of June and the 1st of July Bowles was away, and there was cor \ respondence between Bauereisen and some | others concerning his whereabouts and what ! he was doing. That correspondence, in the 1 handwriting of Bauereisen, showed that | Bowles was doing some business that was \ very secret; that he must be careful that ' no one is watching him; |" That if he be- lieves that the man he suspects is really
 following him to shoot the -" and then ! telling him "not to buy any more of the | stuff for obvious reasons" The district at torney further stated that July 9th Gooding gave Smith letter to his wife, and that I on presenting it she gave Smith package
 containing cartridges, fuse and caps. Smith and delivered it to the brotherhood | hall at Aurora. At the hall there he met Frederick, Bowles and Bauereisen and said to one of them, "That package is | out in the ante-room." The evidence will
 also show that very little while after that II -iaIr | all went out of the hall together; that Bro | derrick had this package under his arm; that | they went down to the train together coming l to Chicago and the three, leaving out Bauer sisen, took the train to come here and carried I that package on to the train and were arrest | ed upon the train, and when tha. package ! was examined it was found to contain four half pound dynamite cartridges and in Bro- derick's possession were 8 number of these Illuminating caps that can be used for no
 other purpose but to explode that internal
 stuff.
 Samuel 0. Madden, agent of the Atlas Dynamite company. was the first witness The cartridges alleged to have been taken
 from the prisoners were brought into court.
 Madden testified that they contained 30 per l cent. nitro -glycerine. The Eliminates found on Broderick were shown and were de-
 clared to be designed to explode dynamite. John J. Kelley, the somewhat dudish look ing secretary to Hoge of the Burlington strik- l srs' grievance committee, testified that he
 knew the defendant Bowles. Kelley told ' how Bowles came to the strikers rooms at
 the Grand Pacific Hotel with package said to be dynamite. The package was opened
 by Bowles in presence of Hoge, 8 man named
 Fowler and witneas. It was marked "Her-
 cules" with a red stamp. Bowles had
 caps in his pocket wrapped in
 ness, which were taken from Broderick. Bowles spoke of "working it" on the Fulton l branch He told witness that he laid the
 cartridge on the track, using sheet of lead. He had four cartridges and half dozen caps. The defense asked for delay for din ner before cross examining Kelley, and when , court reassembled demanded that Manager Stone, of the Burlington, be excluded from , the room during the cross-questioning of the "squealer."
 : iI see no reason for it and will not make . such an order now" said the commissioner.
 Kelley's cross-exapination developed that
 he had been fireman and engineer and for
 several years worked on the e." He was
 secretary for Hoge and had memoranda dates : regarding this and other subjects eff it has
 not been stolen since my arrest as several
 other papers have been.
 Here it was disclosed that someone had raided Kelley's room while he was locked up
 and it was charged that the defense now had the documents taken from his room.
 He said he was receiving $40 month from the brotherhood at the time he went to work for Mr. Hoge He said he had made memo randum of Bowles' talk about dynamite be- cause the order does not allow acts of vio . lence He did not report it to the police be- cause of his relations to the brotherhood. He
 had privately told friends about the talk
 He was not testifying under any promise ot immunity, had not been promised his liberty
 and did not expect it on account of his testi mony.
 Thomas c. Lloyd, the next witness, saii . that he lived in Noblesville, Ind, dealt 1T hardware and had seen Bowles, whom h. picked out from among the defendants, il his store June l. At this Identification
 Bowles turned pale and was quite nervous 3 | Witness sold him dynamite which he de scribed.
 Andrew F. Barnes. clerk for MT. Lloyd 0 also identified Bow1es as one who had pur o chased dynamite.
 Thomas Jester, young man from Mobiles 3 ! vile, had seen Bowles and talked about tn
