BIG SUMS SPENT
FOR DYNAMITING
Significant Words Used by
Dynamite Jurist.
SAYS FACT IS PROVEN

Judge Anderson, in Ruling Directing
Witness to Answer Question, De-
clares Iron Workers Funds Were
Used for Destruction of Life and
Property.
Indianapolis, Dec 14.-Judge Ander-
son, sitting at the dynamite trial, in
the course of a ruling directing a wit
ness to answer a question, stated that
1t has been shown that officers of the
International Association of Bridge
and Structural Iron Workers had ex-
pended thousands Of dollars for the
destruction of life and property"
The ruling came when Paul j Nor
rim of st. Louis, one of the defendants,
was asked whether or not he had ap-
proved of a speech by former Mayor
Seidel OF Milwaukee, in September
1911, at a convention of iron workers
in which the Socialist executive brand
ed the arrest of the McNamaras as
kidnapping" and denounced the
courts for permitting it,
The court held that inasmuch as
Morrin had tried to show that he did
not approve of acts of the iron work
ers' executive he should reply to the
question.
Morrin said he heard the speech but
did not approve of it. He admitted
however, voting for resolution de-
nouncing the arrests and for another
expressing confidence in Mcnamara
after he had been indicted for the
murder Of twenty-one persons in Los
Angeles.
