chief witness before tho Federal
grand jury in the investigation of tho
dynnmiting conspiracy to-day.

explosions In Pennsylvania, Ohio and

Of explosives at THIN were used as a

TO have been obtained by District At
torney Charles w. Miller that the es-
plosions were directed from MoNam-
hra's headquarters in indianapolis,
where. as Observation-Disclosures Of the
International Association or Bridge

his office. although tho suggestion for
the destruction of property erected by
firms employing non-union men came
originally from the city where the
explosions afterwards took place.
In connection with Chief Myers

trict attorneys office had accumulated
important data relative to local con-
ditions in the score OF cities whore
structures were blown up in the last

dragging in a detective who was
