TO SUIT H0CK|N
District Attorney in Indian
apolis Trial Says McMan-
igal Protested Vairlly
Against Glycerine.

strongest stuff ever invented was the
way Herbert S. Hockin referred to
nitroglycerine when he bought 1t to

OF the accused dynamite plotters.'
It was after dynamite was found to
be not strong enough, according to

that the defendants in December, 1909,
decided to use nitroglycerine. The de-
tails. as charged by Mr.. Miller were:
Ortie E. McManigal had been blow
Ing up non-union Jobs with dynamite
and was in Chicago. In response to
4 telegram from Hockin he went to
Indianapolis. :.
1--WE have decided to use nitro" said
Hockin, "and we're going to Muncie
to get supply
That's pretty dangerous stuff,' said
McManigal.
Y eyes, it's the strongest stuff ever
invented"
They went to Muncie where they
met ]. B. MCNAMARA.

ing information about non-union Jobs
there were to be blown up and where
the "dynamiters" were to go. Frank
M. Ryan, president of the iron work
ers' union, who carried on the agree
ments by mail, Mr.. Miller said, wrote,
letters saying 'Hockin will take care
OF the jobs at Davenport, Iowa, and
Peoria, ILL., Well have to send man
to Mount Vernon, ILL.,, because Paul j..
Morrin at st. Louis can't go to Mount
Vernon for he has been there before"
Tveitmoe is Accused.
Olaf Tveitmoe, San Francisco, sec
retary Of the California building
trades council, was charged by Mr..
Miller with being directly responsible
for explosions on the Pacific coast.
1T will be shown said Mr.. Miller,
''that Tvietmoe arranged for the ex-
plosion at the Llwellyn Iron Works at
Los Angeles, Dec. 5, 1910, and he
wrote to Mcnamara at Indianapolis
he hoped Santa Claus would be as
generous to you in surprises and pres
ents Of the season as he has to us In
