SECRETARY OF AMERICAN FED
GRAFTON OF LABOR BEFORE

Washington.-To divulge the dispo
sition of the Mcnamara defense
fund, Frank Morrison, Secretary of
the American Federation of Labor,
and Henry H. Flather, cashier of the
Riggs National Bank, the depository
of the Federations funds, have left
Washington for Indianapolis, in re.
sponse to subpoenas to testify before
the federal grand jury investigating
the alleged dynamite conspiracy.
Each man, with records, will ap-
pear before the federal inquisitors.
Department of Justice officials are
reticent as to whether other national
labor leaders would be summoned.
The investigation at Indianapolis, it
was admitted by officials here, had
been broadened so as to encompass
all who may have had knowledge of
the guilt of the Mcnamara brothers,
prior to their confessions, or that of
others engaged in the unlawful trans
portation of explosives.
The Department of Justice, it de-
veloped, had invoked in the grand
jury inquiry the federal statute i'm
posing a heavy penalty for the con-
cealment of knowledge of felony
from the properly constituted authori-
ties.
This statute, coveringc the crime
known as the "misprision' of fell
ony, provides:
whoever, having knowledge of the
actual commission of the crime of
murder or other felony, cognizable by
the courts of the United States, con-
ceals and does not, as soon as may
be, disclose and make known the
same to some one of the judges, or
other persons, civil or military au-
thority under the United States, shall
be fined not more than $500, or i'm
prisoned not more than three years,
or borh.''
Officers of the Department of JUS
tice were disinclined to discuss the
application of the statute, declaring
that everything depended upon the de-
velopments at Indianapolis.
The other statutes invoked at Indi-
annapolis refer to the unlawful trans
portation of explosives and the gen.
eral conspiracy statute making it a
crime for two or more persons to con-
spire to break a federal law. "The
misprision of a felony" section, it is
of violations of the other two laws.

full and fertile as land in the Grand
