Gives Information Against Accused
 Dynamite Conspirators. ..|

Indianapolis, Ind. Oct. 25.--Herbert O. Hockin, defendant in the "dynA- mite conspiracy. trial, who succeeded John J. McNamara, the dynamiter, as secretary of the Iron Workers union, was identified by four witnesses today as having given information to the government against his A fellow de- fendants.
 Walter Drew. New York counsel for the National Erectors' association, tes- tified that Hockin had said:
 'T know they've got me, but I don't want to be the only one.7
 The witness said that during the sessions last winter of the federal grand jury which returned the indict- ments Hoclin offered to give informa- ton, but was turned away with the remark: GO to the district attorney and make a clean breast of it. He is the only person with authority to make promises"
 "Hockin came to me several times and told me my life was in danger" said Mir. Drew. 'He told me fellows on the Pacific coast. naming Olaf A. Tveitmoe and Ed Nockels. were after me, and that had better look out for . fellow named John Stevens of Chi eago. He said he would warn me later when might expect danger.
 Another time he came to my room ct q club and in the presence of J. F. Foster, a detective, arranged to let us have the key of the Iron Workers of : flee so we might put telephone in the office by which we would be able at all times to record what President Frank M.

 The police have also learned, says Captain Arnold, that the original plan was for Joseph Matteo, one of the three men under arrest, to make away with the driver of the automobile, Vii liam H. Hall. and his failure to do so saved Halls life, but resulted in the capture of three of the men.

Cranks of Country, Stirred Upb the Shooting, Are
 Sending Letters to the Colonel at Oyster Bay
ANOTHER STRANGE MAN DEMANDS ADMITTANCe
Visitor Ated Westerner Persisted in Efforts to See Colonel
 Until Ordered Away-Man Who Sought Him at Hospital Had Threatened His Life on Previous Occasions-D.- cision Reached to Provide Guard Until End of Campayn

Oyster Bay, N. T.. Oct. 25.-On ac-< count of numbers of threatening let ters received by Colonel Roosevelt and the presence in Oyster Bay of a stran- ger who attempted today to make his way into the coloners house, steps were taken tonight to guard the life of the ex-president. A tentative de- cision was reached to, engage one or two men to protect the colonel during the remainder of the campaign and for a time thereafter. if the colonel had not recovered sufficiently by election day to be able to defend himself. Col onel Roosevelt's condition continued to improve today and his physicians said that he would be able to speak at the Madison Square Garden meeting in New York on Wednesday night if no unforeseen complications arise. But they said that he would be unable to do any further campaigning.
 Appeared to Be Westerner.
 The man who attempted to see Col onel Roosevelt arrived in Oyster Bay this afternoon and set out on foot for Sagamore Hill He was met at the door by the colonel's secretary and in- sisted that he must see the ex-presi- dent, although told that no visitors were being received. He was a tall, well dressed man, with d flowing black mustache and a sombrero. which gave him the appearance of a westerner. He would give no reason for asking to see the colonel, but persisted in his demands until he was cut off sharply and told to leave Sagamore HilE
 Wrote a Rambling Letter.
 He then asked to see Mrs. Roosevelt. The colonels secretary finally persuad- ed him that it was useless and he went away.
 There was nothing about the man B manner to suggest thet he would att tempt violence and he was described by those who saw him as being ap- parently harmless
 The stranger returned to the vil- lage~and wrote long rambling letter to Colonel Roosevelt. Then he dis appeared. No trace of him could be found in Oyster Bay tonight, and 1t was not known whether he had left.
 Many Threatening Letters. The attempt on Colonel Roosevelt's lie was said by Dr. George w. Fuller of Oyster Bay, one of the colonel's physicians, to have stirred up 'cranks" and to be responsible for the letters which Colonel Roosevelt has re- ceived since his return to Oyster Bay. In some of them threats have been made against Colonel Roosevelt and it was decided that the danger of sn- other attempt to assassinate was suf- ficient to make it necessary to guard 1 him.
 The colonel's physicians wish 10 have him get out of doors as soon as possible, believing that he will bc | benefited greatly by doing so. but they are unwilling to risk the chance of another attack. It is probable that Colonel Roosevelt will be kept in the house until adequate protection has l been provided.

Bridgeport, Oct 25.-Definite evi- dence has been secured by the police, Detective Capt George H. Arnold said today, that the shooting to death or Jennie Cavaglieir, young Italian wo- man at Stratford, after she had been taken by five men of her nationality in an automobile from this city, was an act of vengeance executed upon her for having betrayed secrets of the white slave traffickers. Captain Ar mold says that the evidence now in possession of the police shows that the manner of the woman's death was de- terrnined upon at conference between the five men implicated, held in the Italian quarter of the city Sunday night.
 Came to Bridgeport to Kill Woman.
 At the conference, the detective says, there was heated discussion as to whether the woman should be slashed with the "squealer's" mark or should be put to death. The latter was de- termined upon. The five men, Cap tain Arnold says, came to Bridgeport under direction from ruling spirits in the white slave traffic for the express purpose of making away with the wo- man, and that they were personally known to each other.
 Connection with chicaso's Vice Cru
 sade.
 The evidence secured, the detective says, clearly indicates that the wo- man had betrayed the organization code which provides that disdgure- ment or death shall follow such ac- tion by any person who becomes ur- true or any woman who leaves the man under whose protection or with whom she has been living. He further says that the evidence tends to show a direct connection between the shoot ing and the vice crusade" in Chicago and that the death was ordered by the national organization"
 Her Real Identity Not Disclosed.

Becker, who is due to be sentenced next Wednesday, would, if the usual procedure were fol- lowed, take his, seat in the electric chair the first week in December The filing of the notice, however, will act as a stay, and it is not impossible that months may lengthen into years before the ultimate fate of the con- victed police officer is determined. In a recent case two years elapsed before the appeal of a first degree murder was settled.
 Basis of the Appeal.
 q don't mind saying that we expeot reversal Becker's attorney an nounced. ''The appeal will be on the grounds that the verdict was against the weight of evidence; that the jus tice's charge was of nature to in jure the chances of the defendant; upon the justices failure to rule that Sam Schepps was an accOmplice in the murder and upon the error of law in the refusal of the justice to allow tes- timcny submitted by the defense to go in the record.
 Mrs Becker Visits Cell.
 Becker's wife visited him in his cell this afternoon and, according to the prison attendants, the meeting marked the one moment since the prisoner was indicted when he seemed on the verge of breaking down. When, after an hours visit Mrs. Becker emerged from the prison gate, it could be seen that she had been weeping.
