CBy Associated Press.)


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Jan. 2.-The col
Iaboration with United States District
Attorney Charles w. Miller here of os-
car Lawler. special government prose
cutor in southern California and Dis
trict Attorney John d. Fredericks, of Los
Angeles county. California. who prose
euted the Mcnamara brothers-a triple
alliance. specially sought by the depart
ment Of justice in unravelling the alleged
dynamiting conspiracy of countrywide
extent-was expected before nightfall
today to be an accomplished fact.
Both Mr.. Lawler and Mr.. Fredericks
were to arrive during the day and begin
their consultations with Mr.. Miller. the
federal grand jury being scheduled form
ally to resume it's probe tomorrow.
Ortie E. McManigars arrival here
within two or three days, timed to follow
close upon the coming Of the two Cali
fornia prosecutors, is taken to mean
that the latter will assist Mr.. Miller in
assembling the voluminous confessions
OF MECHANICAL, which it is predicted will
be OF greater use here than on the
Pacific coast.
Lengthy testimony from Mechanical II
is said, viii mean a flood of indict-
ments, carrying with them scores of per-
sons, conspicuous as well as unconspic.
uous, in the labor world
Fredericks and LAWYER are expectet
to be able to marshal for District At
torney Miller much of the information
which was not revealed in Los Angeles
on account Of the confessions of the
McNamaras.
Developments are looked for here con
stantly throughout the week. When Nc
Manigal arrives he will be under specia
guard. not that the authorities fear hii
escape, but the possibility of foul pla'
from those against whom he has beer
testifyfng.
Though federal prisoners usually ar,
kept in the county jail here, arrange
ments are being made to shelter Nc
Manigal iJl the federal building itself
where an armed guard win protect him
This arrangement, too, will not make
necessary for him to appear out of door
from the time he r. aches the fedora
building until the grand jury finishes tht
taking OF testimony.
Recognizing that the statute of lin
itations would prevent the implication
of some persons for causing explosive:
to be transported which lead to destruc
tion Of property several years ago. the
government prosecutors here viii take
advantage OF recent decisions in the so
called sugar trust cases, wherein con
spiracy offenses We're held to be contln
uous. This fact likewise is taken as al
indication that the indictments to b.
returned here will embrace a long pc
Rod of time as well as a host OF per
sons, however, small their part in the
alleged conspiracy.
BURNS no TESTIFY
william ]. Burns arrived here today
testify before the federal grand jury II
what is considered to be the final lap +
the governments investigation of tn
alleged dynamiting conspiracy froi
which scores Of explosions are suppose,
to have resulted throughout the countr.
in recent years.
Asked as to the rewards which wer
offered in California for the arrest an
conviction of pesons perpetrating tn
Los Angeles Times disaster, Burns ex
pressed the belief that he would collec
upwards of $4,000 This sum, he added
however. he intended to divide anon
the many assistants who helped him ru
down the McNamaras.
AS to the reward of $500 offered b.
Olaf a. Tveitmoe, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES o
the State Building Trades Council,
the time OF the Los Angeles Times Elk
plosion and Withdrawn when the Nc
Namaras were arrested Burns said he
was quite satisfied that the labor lead
ers would pay the reward without any
trouble.
