~T INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Jan. 10.-The
most important evidence yet OBJ
talned In the governments investi-
cation OF the dynamite conspiracy
Is believed to have been presented to
the federal grand jury today. The
points along which the line of inquiry
was directed were said to pertain TO the
.compicity of men other than those al
ready convicted or indicted and to have
raised questions as to who handed Ortie
g z AIcManigal an envelope containing
s1s5 in Chicago a few days after he
had blown UP part of a railroad bridge
at Clinton. Ia. February 16, 1903.
Subpenaes for scores OF persons who
are believed to know about explosions
IN New York city. Pennsylvania. Massa-
q. .chusetts. Illinois. Iowa and other points
8 have been issued.
New Lines of Evidence
The new lines of evidence are out
lined as follows:
Who met McManigal in Boston and
showed him where to put the dynamite
that partly destroyed a new opera house
there March %. 1909. and who subse-
Quently went with him from Boston to
Springfield. Mass, where McManigal
blew up part of the municipal build
ing?
Who met him in New York in Sep
tember, 1909. and escorted him to Ho-
boken, n. J.. where he attempted. but
failed, to blow up a viaduct?
Who met him in Jersey City. n. j.,
2 July 9, 1910. and pointed out viaduct
which was to be blown up?
Who met him in Peoria. Ill, and
took him about town to show him some
? iron IN a freight yard which later Nc
Manigal blew up?
McManigal and his father, James /.
1IcManigaI Of Tifan. O.. IN whose shed
stores Of explosives were kept IN readi-
ness to be carried wherexerz 4 Job
was to be done. were before the grand
jury almost all day.
Net to Drop in Many Cities
The persons who met him at various
places. according to McManigal, were
3 others than the Mcnamara brothers.
Much of his testimony has been cor
eroborated by witnesses who were called
to testify as to having seen him at
;: the time and at the places he men
toned James McManigal is said to
: have confirmed his sons story about
visiting Tifln to get fresh supplies of
Explosives.
The government detectives who are
assisting United States Attorney Charles
w. Miller are said to have followed this
line Of inquiry:
That many of the one hundred or
; .more explosions directed against open
. shop employers in the last five years
: occurred in cities at times when both
.. James B. and John J. Mcnamara were
far distant.
: Others Than McNamaras
:. That. therefore. if McManigaI had
3 assistance in these instances, it came
from others than the McNamaras.
That, without asking for information
locally, McManigal could hardly in a
single day visit city unfamiliar to
= him, pick out lob" blow it up and
escape.
McManigaI in his confession said he
did receive assistance and he did meet
various men, but the government now
. lis seeking corroborative evidence. If it
! exists, along this line
( The tracing of men from Cleveland
and Toledo who visited Tifin also is
believed to have been taken up by the
grand jury through the examination of
1IcAIanigaTs father. In an abandoned
swoodshed near his fathers home Nc
MarigaI kept at times more than 1000
pounds of explosives. and he says he
sometimes was visited at TifIin by men
who accompanied him from various
cities in Ohio.
Murder Indictments Expected
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 10.-After re-
cess of two days, in which many sub
penas for new witnesses were served.
the county grand jury will resume to-
! morrow the Investigation of the alle-
CATION that the Mcnamara defense was
possessed of fund for the corruption
OF jurors, and, so soon as completed.
would take up other phases of the al
legged conspiracy. Prosecuting officials
limited that indictments for various
crimes-even murder-might be ex-
pected.
The Investigation of the alleged brib-
cry was halted Monday to await the
appearance OF 100 new witnesses, all
of whom are expected to be on hand
tomorrow. The majority of them are
veniremen who were in the McNamara
trial
The theory on which the grand jury
is working Is that many prospective
jurors besides Robin f. Balm, who con-
fessed he had been bribed, and George
n. Lockwood. who asserted he had been
offered a bribe, had been approached by
agents of the defense.
