cial train carrying 39 labor union Off
cials to Leavenworth, Kansas, left
here at 1910 p. m. today over the
Pennsylvania railroad
Indications were at 10 d. M. today
that the 33 labor union officials SEN
fenced in the dynamite conspiracy
cases would leave for the federal pris-
on at LeayenwortE early this alter
noon.
Despite this arrangement, however,
attorneys of the convicted men went
before Federal Judge A. B. Anderson
to petition for writs of error and SUI
persedeas bonds.
The attorneys, headed by Chester
H. Krum, said they would appeal to
the United States circuit court OF APP
peals, if the petition for bonds was
not granted here If the bonds are
granted the men must frs. provide
them before they may obtain liberty
pending the outcome of appeals.
The district court here has within
its power to delay the taking of the
men to Leavenworth if, in its opin-
ion, pending legal actions warrant.
About the county Jail, however, ev-
cry arrangement was made for taking
the men to the train at moment $
notice. The train was kept in walt
ing on a side track.
The prisoners left the county jail
at IL o'clock sharp. Just before they
emerged they joined in loud cheer
ing. Ed Lewis, of San Francisco,
members of the executive board of
the Ironworkers union, and j. e. Nc
Glory, acting secretary of the union,
who are the only officials of the inter-
national union out Of Jail, were pres
ent to see the train off.
AS the prisoners left the county
Jail, McClory and Lewis tried to shake
hands with Frank NJ. Ryan, president
of the union, but were prevented by
the guards.
Strung along the sidewalk We're
wives and friends of the convicted
men. The husbands lifted their hats
to their wives and told them to be OF
good cheer, and to wait patiently the
expiration of their terms.
The women were heartbroken and
cried uninterruptedly.
AS the line of prisoners passed
along the wall of the county Jail, the
prisoners broke out in shouts OF fare
we'll that could be heard on the side
walk. The crowds that watched the
melancholy procession were quiet.
Those who had friends among the
convicted men, greeted them and ex-
changed words of comfort.
AS soon as the party entered the
train, the signal for departure was
given. There was no cheering as the
train pulled out.
