The Governments case. 1t was stated to-
night is practically certain to result IN IN
diotments.
A list OF letters alleged TO implicate many
persons in explosions directed against the

10 the grand jury. These letters, II Is de-
clared. will be supported by the evidence oil
Miss Nora Haley, formerly private secretary
10 John ]. Mcnamara, as well as his per-
sonal confldant.
The testimony Of Miss Haley, VINO mas
lust been located in Chicago by detectives
after q years search, Is said 10 be more
conclusive than that OF Ortie L. McManisal'
the confessed accomplce OF the McNa-
maras. Miss Haley is said 10 know more
than any one else about the alleged con
spiracies. She is twenty-five years old'
handsome and the daughter OF a local po-
liceman

ployed at the headquarters of the lnterna
tional Association of Bridge and structure

tors Association tends 10 show that sew

hopes TO show that groups OF men IN oli-
ferent cities helped 10 finance the alleged
dynamiting conspiracy and that Its eHec-
tiveness was not dependent alone upon
funds Of the International Iron Workers
Association. alleged to have been diverted
10 this purpose by John j. Mcnamara, ITS
secretary and treasurer.
Mr.. Badorfs statement is considered sig
nifcant in view Of an assertion made by
United States District Attorney Miller TO-
day that Miss Haley had agreed TO come
back 10 Indianapolis and tell her story 10
the federal grand jury. She has been
served with government subpoena by a
and will be here at the opening Of the IN
vestigation next Thursday.
After having been McNsmars's private
secretary for two years Miss Haley lett
one year ago after a quarrel with the dyna-
miter over another stenographer whom he
had brought into the office.
The fact that the new stenographer was
fast assuming the confidential relations
formerly held by Miss Haley toward Nc
Namara is said TO have caused the break
Burns detectives tried TO get information
from Miss Haley before she left here, but
without success.
For two years Miss Haley handled all OF
J. ]. McNamara's private correspondence
no small portion of which, District Attor-
nev Miller declares, dealt with these dyna-
mite plots. She not only wrote his letters.
but filed away the letters from ]. B. Nc
Namara, Ortie McManigal and others en-
gagged by j. ]. Mcnamara to set off dyna-
mite charges.
Among the fifteen hundred Mcnamara
letters and the records Of the iron workers
union seized by the government are hun
dreds OF clippings from newspapers over
the country telling OF dynamitings. These
clippings we're sent TO Mcnamara by his
accomplices, with letters.
Government officials declare that the evil
dence of Miss Haley and that Of Ortie Nc
Manigal, together with the union records,
will fix conclusively the guilt Of a group OF
men high In labor circles
Experts I'm the employ of the government
declare that every state in the union was
visited by agents of John j. Mcnamara
