Explosive In Barn Found.

Immediately after the Offices OF the
Union were searched, Detective
Burns and squad of his men went
10 the barn west OF indianapolis
where the explosives were unearthed,
The detectives then returned to tho
city, and search of the basement o,
the union headquarters revealed
more explosives.
President Ryan in an interview
said that he had been connected with
Union labor for several years and
had never heard OF case similar to
the one charged against Mcnamara,
but that he had known OF cases
where plants" had been made by
enemies of labor organizations, and
that II explosives were found they
must have been placed by enemies
OF the organization.
The warrant for his arrest was
based on an indictment found by the
grand jury in Los Angeles.
Responsibility for other destruc-
tive explosions in different parts OF
the country would be placed as tho
result of an investigation now in
progress, Burns said.
This is the beginning OF one OF
the greatest criminal prosecutions
the country has known" Burns said
Says McG- nlee Told Of II.
Burns says Otto McGonigle told
him where these explosives could be
found, and it was upon this informa-
tion that the search was made. Tho
dynamite and ntroglycerin were
buried under saw-dust in the barn.
Jones, the owner Of the barn, said
the explosives were placed there last
January and that Mcnamara and
other men made various trips to the
barn with suitcases, but he did not
know the purpose of the visits. Jones
says that Mcnamara rented the barn
and paid him SIS a month for its
use. II is about three-quarters of a
mile west OF the city.
The warrant against Mcnamara
charges him with murder in COM
plicity in the dynamiting OF the Los
Angeles Times Building, and further
alleges he was implicated in an eX-
plosion in the Llewellyn Iron Works,
Los Angeles December "a, 1910.
Detective Burns, in a statement
after the arrest of Mcnamara. said
further developments were expected
TO disclose the perpetrators Of ex-
plosions directed against employers

Columbus, Ind. and other places.
