l Indianapolis. Ind, Nov. 25.-The contentious of the defense that the
 McNamaTas and Ortie E. McManigal alone were responsible for explosions
 and that the iron workers union exc cutiye board and President Frank NJ. i Ryan knew nothing of any S1,000 ex- pended from the unlJn funds for des-
 troying non union property, were pu--
 sued in the cross-examination of Mo Manigal at the dynamite trial today Before being turned over by the government McManigal had told stor. | ies of how he and the McNamaTas had
 talked of blowing up the locks of the Panama canal and how James B. Me l Nalnara was to return to Los Angeles, and wipe that city off the map" by series of explosions and how they
 were prevented from carrying out these plots by their arrest in April 1911. He also had related that after his and James Bs arrest in Detroit and on the train to Chicago, James B., offered Guy Biddinger, detective $500 to allow them to escape, tell HE DlQdlbSSi gOu obh 6tt ", | Clarence Darrow will"
 Senator John w. Kern. of the de. fense, cross examined McManigal Was the pay you received from 1 the McNamaras your motive in caus- | ing so many explosions asked Sen ator Kern.
 l No, it was not money. Herbert s. l Hockin, when he first started me in
 to the dynamiting business, teiephon-
 ed me, saying if 1 didn't do 1t he would prevent me from getting work. Then l was prompted by foolish no- ! tion that it was for the good of the
 iron workers union. My mind was infiamed with the idea it would build up the union"
 McManlgal admitted he had been arrested three times, twice for lar ceny and once for disorderly conduc'. After the Los Angeles Times build l ing was blown up, when you and | James B., were hunting in the woods 1 in Wisconsin, you say he admitted to you that he deliberately killed the | 21 persons, that he was printer and he knew he would kill some one when l he put the bomb in the Times build l ing and yet you continued to associate with him ?'
 "Yes, I did,
 McManigal had said that when l. J. McNamara, secretary of the union planned wholesale explosions" in cluding the blowing up of Los Angeles i city he was afraid the executive board would cut off his allowance" Now, you say McNamara. in order
 to get more money, proposed to steal
 $l5O000 by killing the treasurer of | the automobile races at the speed
 way in Indianapolis and yet you still
 kept company with these men who
 planned the murder?"
 Yes, I did?"
 iMcManigal told in detail how much
 he was paid for each job" | When you caused the explosion in
 the Llewellyn Iron plant in Los An geles on Dec. 25, 1910. how much did you charge for it?'
 T got $525, which included my ex- penses."
 Other witnesses interrupted Mo.

 Manigal family. She said in Nov. 1910, the month after the Los An.

 her uncle, Marion Sharl. Kenosha
 Wis. for Manigal to join hunting 1 trip When the hunters returned to
 Chicago in January, she said she went
 to a theatre party, one of the party 1 being a man who answered James B.
 McNamara's description.

 George w. Caldwell member of a firm of contractors, said that after l explosions on his work in Columbus,
 Ind. and Omaha, Neb., Hockin vis'.- 4ed him at hotel under construction | in Tulsa, Okla. "I told Hoclxin l had
 enough of him and McNamara at Omaha and that l wouldn't unionize the job" said Caldwell "He replied that they would get even with me. The work later was unionized. Frank R. Paynter, the business agent af Omaha had told us we would
