District Attorney Miller Is Still Busy
With His Opening Statement
After Ono Day
Speech.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dot. s.
More than fifty hotel clerks and at
taches were in Indianapolis today
ready to testify in the dynamite con-
spiracy trial. They were expected
to be the first witnesses called after
the opening statements we're conclud-
ed and their evidence was expected
to corroborate the confession of Ortie
McManigal, insofar as to verify the
cities and dates in his narrative, the
fifth days installment OF which Dis
trict Attorney Miller today recited to
the jury.
Through these hotel men, the gov
ernment hopes to trace McManigal,
James B. and John j. Mcnamara, John
Clark, Herbert s. Hockin, Frank G.
Webb, Frank M. Ryan and the other
principals in the alleged dynamite
plot through the five years of it's
working. All Of these men were in
almost every large city at different
times being seen around about the
time Of structural explosions. They
Il
used aliases a part Of the time, 1t is
alleged, and the hotel men were ex-
pected to identify them.
There was no chance that testimony
would be heard today. The district
attorney was not nearly through hle
statement when he entered on the
twenty hour of speech, and hs
was not certain that he would flnisf
during the day. Newt Harding ane
Senator Kern then are expected te
open for the defense and more thar
a court day may be consumed by
them.
Taking up the new England cam
paign of McManigal, Miller charged
that Frank ]. Higgins and Michae
Young, the Boston defendants, Wen
with McManigal to Springfield, Mass.
where on April 16, 1911, the new
municipal tower was dynamited. Hig
gins, he said, boasted that the explos
/ ion cost the Boston local $500.
