GR|[[ED BY ATTY
HEAD OF Iron WORKERS CON
FRONTED AT TRIAL WITH
JOB" LETTERS HE WROTE.

indianapolis, Ind, Dec. Letters
written by Frank M. Ryan, presi
dent of the International Associa
ton of Bridge and Structurai iron
Workers, were read in conjunction
with dates of explosions in The
cross-eXamination Of Ryan by the
government, at the dynamite con-
spiracy" trial today.
Ryan testified to his knowledge
of numerous explosions which oc
Cured after he had written a GER
tain letter from New York, saying
It was gained entirely through
newspaper accounts of explosions on
non-union jobs often were inclosed
in letters as news.
Extracts from the New York let
ter, which Ryan testifies he wrote
April 81, 191G as head of the union
to Secretary John ]. Mcnamara, and
the explosions which the govern
ment cited as having occurred later
were:
LET Legleitner take care of the
jobs in his district" Henry w. Leg
leitner was the name Of the eXecu.
tive board member stationed at
Pittsburg. An explosion occurred az
McKees Rocks, near Pittsburg, in
July, 1910.
Let Hockin arrange for Cleveland
Cincinnati and Detroit Jobs" read
another paragraph. Herbert S.
Hockin is charged with being lead
er of the "dynamiting crew." An
explosion occurred at Cleveland, on
June %, that year
Davenport, Iowa, and Peoria can
be handled by Hockin,' still anoth-
er paragraph said. Explosions oc-
Cured at Davenport and Peoria on
June 4.
Explains His Instructions.
what did you mean when you
said: Let Legleitner take care OF
those jobs?" asked District Attor.
ney Miller.
Il meant they were to use every
legitimate means to have union men
put to work." answered Ryan.
Before an explosion on bridge
at Dayton, Ohio. which Edward
Clark, union official at Cincinnati
confessed to have caused, Ryan said
he sent Hockin to Cincinnati Clark
in his confession, said Hockin had
furnished him with the dynamite for
the explosion Ryan asserted he
gave no Instructions 20 Hockin
about dynamite.

did Clark call you up?" Ryan was
asked.
Possibly few days, but he gave
me no details abou. an explosion >
Asserting that he mad no Intention
that violence should be used, Ryan
said through a request from w. AL
bert Brown, a union business agent,
he sent Hockin to Kansas City, Mo-,
prior to an explosion on a bridge
there in August, 1910.
In explaining a letter to Michael
Cunnane, the agent at Philadel-
phia. giving Instructions to handle
non union job "in any way that
will delay or add to the cost of it,
Ryan said his only purpose was to
have union men taken off other jobs
being constructed by the same con-
tractor.
Letter From Dallas.
The government read a letter,
written from Dallas, Texas, in 1910,
to Mcnamara by Philip A. Cooley
of New Orleans, who is charged
with having urged that explosions
take place in the south
Il agree with You to postpone the
proposition so | can get some point
ers from you ard there will be
no after-effects,' ran the letter.
Did you receive letters from
Cooley about arrangements to blow
up jobs?" asked Mr. Miller
Il never received a letter from
Cooley about blowing up anything,
answered Ryan.
Asked what was meant when
Frank C. Webb of New York wrote
to him, Your confidence in me you
may never fear for | never did be-
lieve in taking too much n cases OF
this kind Ryan said is referred
only to arrangements for unionizing
New York.
Ryan admitted he had ackuowl-
edged the receipt of a newspaper
clipping from John Golden, presl-
dent of the United Textile Workers
Of America about an explosion on
a bridge at Fall River, Mass, in
1908, had replied that he had read
the clipping with interest He said
the iron workers union furnished
$4,000 bond for George O'Donnell,
who was accused of the dynamitinS,
and that the uniCn also raid O'Don
nell money after he had been con
victed.
Thought O'DonneIl Prosecuted
1--WE had sent about $1,000 be-
cause we considered he was being
prosecuted said Ryan.
Did you ever MAKE an investiga
tion of the Los Angeles Times eX-
plosion, in which twenty -One per-
sons were murdered?" asked Mr.
Miller.
Yes. l tried to find out how it
happened"
And yet you retained Mcnamara
as secretary after he was arrested?"
"Yes."
And you had Hockin as secretary
until yesterday"
Yes"
