Il said I'd try to help him with it.
He did not ask Malich for any money
said the "scabs" were driving him out
of business and he wanted them done
away with.
If anybody asked you to dynamite a

No. sir; not everybody
Did you ever try to collect life in

the proposed assassination of Frank
Hearne of the Colorado Fuel & Iron COM

Orchard said he was drawing supplies
from the miners strike relief fund AT
the time he was being paid for crime.
Now, will you tell the jury why you
