POWDER MAN TO TESTIFY
Following this testimony Bruce Nc
Caul, sales manager for the Giant COM
pany, with whom the three suspects
made their original deal for so per cent
glyCerine dynamite, will testify. G.. w.
Philips, Manuel Silva and William
/ Flynn will also tell what they know

Then, it is expected, will come the
star witness of the case, Mrs Belle

officials that Mrs. LAWN will repeat to
the grand jury the remarkable story of

DEVELOPMENTS FEW
Developments in the hunt for the

NOR reached this city that three sus-
| poets had been taken off a steamer al
/ a Mexican coast port but this received
! denials from Washington. The au-
| thorities are making an effort to keeI
| tab on the steamer City of Sydney
which sailed from san Francisco fol
| Panama on October Is and on the
steamer San Juan, which sailed from
! the bay city for Mexican and Central
| American ports on October 16, The
watch kept on these vessels is due
| to the fact that several witnesses con-
| tinue to assert that they saw Schmidt
| at COrte MADEIRA as late as October II
! The detectives however, are in
| clined to the belief that the men WhC
plotted the Times outrage We're toe
| clever at the game to make their es-
cape on outgoing steamers that were
| almost certain to be watched. 1t is be-

| a route of escape prior to the dyna-
hitting and that they are carefully
hidden until such time as they think
