other Arrests ProbabIe.

That some other arrests may be made
as a result Of the attack on the polling
place seems probable from a statement
Of Mr.. Ward during his argument. He
stated: IF we had known their names
the bulk OF the witnesses for the de-
fense would have been indicted jointly
with Bell for aiding and abetting ia
the killing of Harvey Miller. The most
Of them were participants in that
crime"
Mr.. Ward also brought out that

mob was called By the defense. but did
not respond. Shortly after he started

to contain a single occupant who proved
to be Whitmore. Onicer O'Toole covered
him with q gun he carried, and Hamil-
ton searched him and handcuffed him.

two other men. but did not know their
names. There was 800 pounds Of wire TAX
en- from the Bell Telephone lines in the
wagon. Later when questioned the prls-
oner acknowledged that one Of his COM
panions was Buck Cunningham. The
latter was soon after captured by Central
Office Detectives Sells and Duoy of
Philadelphia in that city as was also
Charles Brown. who lived in tho same
house with Cunningham.
