Yes, il II is not excessive, was

mo. In fact, we Old not expect any
arrests here. but to be on the safe
side, the union engaged me some time
ago, so as to be prepared for any
emergency and we arranged In adj
yaace for bondsmen In case there
should be any local arrests. l do not
b. lieve Murphy or wachmeister know
anything about these dynamiting op-

The specific charge against the men
is conspiracy to transport dynamite on
trains from Bellefontaine, o., TO IN
dlanapoiis. Ind, in interstate conf
merce. Hhe government will ask the
commissioner to fix .he bail at not less
than $4,000 for each man. Mr. En-

M meantime. are held In the county jail.
