M 'MAN|GAL TELLS JURY ALL HE KNOWS Prisoner Will Be Kept in Attendance Some
 Time

Indianapolis, January S.-All that Ortie McManigal, the confessed dynamlter, knows about the complicity of others be- sides the McNamara brothers in the blow ing up of more than 100 "open shop" structures is believed to have been re- lated by him in his preliminary story be- fore the federal grand jury.
 Taken from his cell in the federal build ing where he had been lodged before day. light. after his secret trip in the custody of government officials from Los Angeles, McManigal, the confessed accomplice of James B. and John J. McNamara. went before the jurors after his written confess sion had been presented in detail.
 The prisoner will be kept in attendance on the jury for 10 days or two weeks, was indicated by the announced inten- ton of United States Attorney Charles W. Miller to have him repeat his con- fession orally and to describe with min- ute circumstances his relations with oth- CTS in his dynamiting expeditions from the time he first blew up structure in Detroit in June, 1907, down to his activi- ties in the same business on the Pacific coast.
 McManigal professes to have personal knowledge of at least 30 of the explosions which destroyed viaducts, bridges and other structures erected by firms em- ploying pon-union men. His testimony is to be taken not so much to show the complicity of the McNamaras, since they already have been convicted, as to bring out the guilt of others if there are any who gave financial support to, or partici- pated in the crimes.
 The grand jury devoted much atten- tion today to witnesses from Tiffen, O., where last April $40 pounds of dynamite were found stored in barn in the rear of James L. McManigal, father of Ortie. This was one of the stores which Ortie McManigal and James McNamara re- plenished their supply of explosives when they started out to do jobs" in Penn sylvana, New York, Ohio, Indiana or illinois.
 Ortie E. McManigal was permitted to see his father today. 1t was the first meeting between father and son since the arrest was made last April.
 Going into the cell the elder McManigal threw his arms around his son but his efforts to conceal his emotion and at tempt to talk was compete failure.
 Orte E. McManigal, who is to be the principal witness in the federal grand jury's investigation of the alleged 'dyna- miting plots, ended his secret journey from Los Angeles today.
 Under heavy guard McManigal was brought into this city before dawn and lodged in a cellroom in the government building. The seclusion was deemed wise.
 The secusion surrounding the witness whose confession is believed to have brought about the pleas of guilty of the McNamara brothers was increased in In- dianapolis because it was here that Mo- Manigal, according to his confession, started on many of his dynamiting expe- ditions directed by J. J. McNamara, sec- retary-treasurer of the International As sociation of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers.
 While it is not stated by District Att torney Charles w. Miller how long Nc Manigal will be kept or when he will first appear before the jurors. it is known the government will make no haste
 His written confession covering more than 200 typewriter pages is to be SUD- plemented in detail by his oral testimony so his presence will be required for sev- eral weeks.
