 Testimony

INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. l6.-The ST. 900 monthly. paid to John J. McNa- mara as treasurer Of the Iron Workers association for -'or- ganzation purposes, and for which he was not required to give any ac- counting. was inquired into today by government officials who are conduct ing the dynamite investigation, before the grand jury. The relation of the fund to the fees given McManigal for his work in blowing up structures erected by non-union iron workers were also traced.
 Purchases are Told Of.
 From an employe Of a livery con cern at Muncie, Ind, the investiga- tors learned Of McNanigals move ments Of nitro glycerine from Albany Ind, to his store house at Muncie. McManikal under the name of J. w. McGraw, bought 100 quarts Of the explosive near Albany. 1t was de- liyered to him in a wagon outside the city. driven by him to an empty house at Muncie, and there packed in sadust. He has confessed that he afterward used some nitro glycerine for explosions at Peoria, III. The similarity of some of the sawdust found at Peoria to that found at Nun cie and in the wagon bed led up to linking Of this evidence by the de- tectives. Transactions were gone over to ascertain what money had been paid for his expenses.
 Explosions Timed Together
 Another point taken up was the pur- pose of McNamara. according to Me Manigal to employ men to have ex- plosion occur on the same day or about 1he same hour at cities widely separated.
 J. A. G. Badorff, a detective em- ployed by the National Erectors' As $ Siation. and who worked on this phase of the case, produced scores Of photographs of wrecks of struc- lures, was before the grand jury sew eral hours. According to McManigal, J. J. McNamara had the explosions occur at Omaha, .Neb., and Columbus, Ind. on the same night. lt was in this connection chat McNamara is charged by McManigal as having said -I want them to go cf about the same time so they will wonder how a fellow was in omaha and Columbus on the same night What l am go ing to do is to get about six or eight good fellows, and l am going to sta tion them around the country, and am going to have explosions come on at one time, one right after the oth- CT. I will make them sit up and take notice" It has been shown ID the Dmaha-COlumbus incident on March 24, 1911, the explosions were caused by McManigal and J B. Nc Namara, the time being arranged by telegrams in code to J. J. McNamara in Indianapolis.
 Reports have reached Indianapolis of the intention of state authorities to start prosecutions for explosions which occurred in these localities, asking whetber their evidence, now in the hands of the government, might be available for county grand jury iuvestigations. Tt is the duty of dif ferent jurisdictions to assist each other in prosecuting offenders, said Assistant District Attorney Clarence Nichols. County prosecutors in any state will not have any difficulty in UDfHlnlnE HUH AEAEA eAa aAN-C--N evidence desired in uncovering per sons who may have been implicated locally. but the evidence will be held by the federal courts until all pro ceedings in this and other districts have been completed

McNamara, who was under federal surveillance at her home in Chicago for several days, passed more than an hour before the grand jury this afternoon Little ls known as to the nature of her testi' rnony, but as the government IS known to be delving into the cor respondence of the former secretary Of the Iron Workers, it is supposed she was questioned regarding money spent during the period when numer' ous explosions occurred.
