Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. II. = The
United States authorities have row In
their possession books and papers of
the ironworkers' organization that
were overlooked when the building
was searched soon after John J. Me-
Namara's arrest. The delivery of the
evidence to the authorities was made
by II. s. Hockin through arrangements
with Representatives OF the Erectors'
association, and II Is believed that the
surrender was made after guarantees
had been made that assure Hoekin Of
immunity from arrest.
The United States district attorney
says he has made no deal with Heekin.

In the taxicabs, and though Hockin

did not assist in the work.
That Hockin was I'm the ofiees ut the

admitted the saarchers was learned
from the same source.
1t has developed that the negotis-
lions which have been made with
Hoekin were without knowledge of
District Attorney Miller. This was
done because the district attorney
throughout the case has shown no dis
position to lend a kindly ear to any
suggestions OF immunity to any one.
With this attitude OF the district at

way that would keep the district attor-
ney absolutely free from any sugges-
ton that Immunity or eight penal
ties would be promised for services
rendered by any one connected with
the ironworkers.
A search Is being made for Harry
Underwood, the ironworker who made
affidavit that he placed the explosive
under the new French Lick hotel after
the visit of Hockin to French Lick, at
which time he Is said to have threat

that he once knew an ironworker
