Barbara Cal, 80 sticks of dynamite
with a fuse were found beneath
bridge just before a special train bear
ing President Taft passed over. Twen
ty of the explosions occurred in Ohio.
McManigals confession was the
basis upon which the government
founded its case before the federal
grand jury which returned the in
dictments. And it is expected to fig
ure prominently in the present trial.
In it McManigal confessed:
That Hockin came to him in De-
troit in 1907 and induced him to blow
up a lob" there afterward paying
him a regular fee of $125 for each
Job. McManigal had worked in a
stone quarry, and he said it was be-
cause of his familiarity with eXplos-
ives that he was selected.
That Hockn accompanied him on
trips and pointed out works that We're
to be blown up. afterwards introduc-
ing him to James B. Mcnamara, who
became McManigals "teammate" In

That on instructions from Hockin
he met Michael J. Young, a men,
ber Of the executive board in Boston.
and Frank o. Webb Of New York,
about Jobs that were to be blown up
near those cities.
That Hockin wired him at Chicago
to return to Indianapolis in Febru-
ary, where he, Hockin, and j j. Nc
Namara talked over new invention
which consisted of using an ordinary
alarm clock as timer for fuses. ut
was sceheme by which we could set
a bomb and then be miles away when
the explosion occurred and so prove
an alibi,' said Mcanigal.
McManigal also confessed that eX-

cases on passenger trains, that he
met various business agents aobut
"jobs and that he received fee of
