 Information came 10 light today d. vnlging the origin Of the inve3tfga- lion. \ wit ess before the Indian apoIs grand jury threatened with perjury proceedings diyulged the names Of the men who, ge said de- liberately set fire to the building so destroy documents wanted 5v the government and tendiag to incrimi- nate prominent leaders.
 \ hurried report was made to the Department of Justice at Washing on and a squad of investigators WAS ient to Chicago Cisa of the r1eat widely known labor leaders in Chi cago who took an active part in the defense of the McNamaras, admitted today that he had been informed that an indictment had Bean voted agatast him. Hurried steps were talsen to fight the removal of the Chcagoans 70 Indianapolis. The mar .>in TIeg- ion is an official of unioc which had offices in the burned open Board of Trade building.
 Another startling feature of the ease developed when it was learned hat the open Beard of Trade build- ng was fired o7 the night of the lay that Moss Enright, Chicago labor 5lugger. was sent to Joliet for the murder of Vincent Altman, another slugger.
 11nright had avowed that if the supreme court nyerruled his petition for new trial and the Chicago labor interests did not come forward to save him from the penitentiary. he would tell all that he knew aboat the murder of Vincinet Altman and William Dutch Gentleman, both or whom were shot to death is Chicago saloons. He threatened to tell who committed both crimes and who pald the murderers.
 The supreme court ruling was re- ceiyed on the night of December 1f, but did not become public until the morning of the next day when En- right was half way to Joliet That tight the building was burned and the volumes of union labor records went up with the flames. 1 "We had some information and --a lot of gossip from Enright and took 1t to be simply the outcry of one who is hurt, until little eubstantiation came to us later," said Assistant At torsey Northrup tonight, then we started to investigate the matter Of expenditures by labor unions and were told that part of the records we wanted were burned.''
 1t is said some of the Chicago man to be indicted will ID be directly connected with my of the bohlb out rages but they will be charged with being accessories to the crime i'll that they had concealed guilty knowledge Of the operations of the dynam'ters. 1t was learned today that among the defendants wanted by the gov ernment, said to have been in the al- lfices Of 9 labor union in the open Board of Trade building on the night of the fire, was a great bundle of correspondence with John J. McNam- ara and other labor leaders who will be accused of having conniyed with the dynamiters.
