After The Men ''Higher Up" Now Federal Authorities Said to Have Information Which Will
 Lead to Important
 Arrests Expected That Speedy lndict- ments Will be Returned by Grand Jury to Assemble
 in Indianapolis

Indianapolis, Dec. 13-The trial Of
 Indianapolis, Dec. 12-The trial of the men of the 'inner circle" who are said to have inspired the McNamaras and Ortie McManigal to their carnival of crime, is declared, today, to lead to other cities and will involve impor- tant labor leaders who are alleged to be advocates of the direct action which led to wholesale dynamitings.
 The Federal Grand Jury, which meets here, tomorrow, to continue it's investigation of the .inner circles" will have presented to it, it is said, proof that there really were men ''higher up'' in labor circles who ad- vocated the use of high explosives in labor's war against capital.
 Indictments against these men are confidently expected by those in charge of the investigation
 It is declared on excellent author ity, today, that the Federal authori. ties have in their possession docu- nents pointing so strongly to the guilt of these men that little doubt Is expressed that speedy indictments will be returned.
 Among the interesting papers held by the government is said to be an envelope bearing the queer legend,
 Commitments of the -N
 The significance of these words, it is said, is that this envelope contain ed s75 and was handed to Ortie Mcr Manigal, in Detroit, Mich., in 1907. This money was payment for the first dynamite 'job" he did there, against work being done by non-union labor ers. The two hidden words, it is said. point the trail directly to the men i'higher up' who are said to have in- spired the crime The belief is grow ing here that also John J. McNamara, secretary of the iron workers. was one of the principals and was supported in his plans by men whose names it is said will be presented before the Grand Jury for indictment
 " Thirteen cities have been semi of ficially asked for evidence now in possession of the government, so that could use it to return indictments against the men connecred with vari- ous "!obs.''
 These cities are Detroit, Brooklyn, Kansas City, Cincinnati, Buffalo, St. Louis, Omaha, Cleveland, Salt Lake City. Chicago. New York, Peoria, Ills, and Hoboken, N. J.
 Every stenographer employed by the International Associa tion of Bridge & Structural Iron Workers during recent years has been summoned, 1t is de- clared
 Another of the chief witnesses will be Frank Eckhoff. Cincinnati coremak- CT, who is said to know much about the operations of the dynamiters.
 Ortie McManigal, too, will be brought to testify.

 FIGHT.
(SpeciaI to. The Farmer)

Wflkes-Barre, Dec 13-Frederick Holxnagel of Scranton, Penn, a we'll to-do hotel keeper related on, the wit ness stand here yesterday the sensa- tional story of his being made the dupe of clever confidence men and be- ing fleeced of $15,0O0 in two fake prize fights. one pulled off at Bridgeport, Conn. the second in Boston.
 Holznagel told of how he first met the defendant in the case, William J. Keenan, who represented himself as the associate of men of wealth inter- ested in HolznageFs timber lands; and detailed the circumstances of several meetings in Newark and New York city. they were talking about the timber land deal, an fnadrertent mention was made of the prize fight, and he became interested Talk of the lum- Der deal then gave way to prize fight conversation.
 HoIznagel was allowed to get in on the prize fight "frame-up as spe- cial mark of esteem. and he bet $5,000 on what he supposed to be a sure thing. The fight was pulled off in Avon Park, just outside of Bridgeport. on circus day three years ago when most of the streets were pretty well deserted.
 The trip to Bridgeport, from New York, was made in special Pull man car After the fight in Bridge port, Holznagel drew $10.O00 more. hoping to recoup his losses in Boston. He was soundly berated, by his asso- ciates. for having placed his money on the wrong man. Convinced that the fault was his own, he made the second bet, and the party went on to Boston in their private car where the second fight was pulled off in an almost deserted hall, with only half d dozen of the "millionaires" as spec tators. ts
 These millionaires were Introduced to Holznagel as the Cudahys of Kan sas City and Chicago. and others whose names were familiar to him through the papers. The million aires'' disappeared after the second fight in Boston. and Holznagel return ed to Scranton.
 It was learned here today. that Holznagel lost altogether $17,000. One of the alleged confidence men held in bail of $20,000 was released in New York city after Ho1znagel had refus- ed to appear against him. His action at that time was based.' it was said, upon the belief that they were going to restore his losses. But when the complaint was dismissed. they let Holznagel whistle for his money.
