GUILTY IS
PLEA OF
UNION MAN
CLARK ADMITS EMPLOYING DYNA-
MITERS IN WAR BETWEEN
LABOR AND ERECTORS.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 7.-Edward
Clark of Cincinnati, the former bust
ness agent in that city of the Indus
trial Association of Bridge and Struc-
tural Iron Workers, and one of the 4S
members of that organization who are
on trial here for the Illegal transporta-
tion of dynamite, this morning chang
ed his plea from not guilty to guilty.
The action of Clark came as a great
surprise, as the other accused men
had no previous knowledge of his ac-
ton.
The announcement was made by u.
S. District Attorney Miller when he
reached the courtroom.
Clark then took the witness stand
and said he was guilty as charged and
ready for sentence.
The other defendants expressed the
belief that the confession resulted
from Miller's denunciation OF Clark,
Saturday.
Miller asked that Clark's sentence
be deferred and this was granted by
Judge Anderson.
A[iller's charge on Saturday that
Clark supervised the activities of
twelve dynamiters near Cleveland is
believed to be the cause of Clark's
plea this morning.
The defendants sat quiet through
Clark's action, but seemed anxious for
a chance to talk to him. Their at
tempts were frustrated by Miller, who
said CLARK has pleaded guilty. That
is his business. 1t the other decide to
change their pleas it will be known
only when they take the stand"
Miller is fatigued He spoke today
and told of clippings sent the McNam-
aras, telling of the dynamitings.
He painted a word picture of the
Times "blowup" characterizing Jim
Mcnamara as one of the most fiendish
and blood thirsty burderers in history
He also described the 6ynamitings at
Salt Lake.

its word that it would be done.
The Star-Mirror has certainly rout-

time. 1t is just Il year ago Saturday |
that the chiefest of them publicly an
nounced that this paper would never
