Indianapolis, Ind, November s7.-On
the. ground that their present bonds
asRregating 100000, were indemnined.
and therefore invalid. fourteen Of the
forty five defendants in the dynamite
er conspiracy trial were instructed oy
the Federal Court to-day that within
a reasonable time" they must procure
new bonds or remain in jail In the IN
tervals between sessions OF the tflaI.
The court held that as II was on the
eve Of a holiday. he would not enforce
his ruling tonight. in which event. at
torneys for the defense said, the de-
f,ndants must inevitably have to go
to Jail, for new bonds could not be
had on such snort notice
Three other ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ,.
Hockin. Edward Smythe and James t.
Ray-have been confined in the coun-
" Jail in the custody OF Federal ON
GERS for several days because they
were unable to furnish bones agGre-
eating $4,000.

eral Juage Anderson accused Alfred

you where you will need some bonds.

vice-president Of the union. among
those whose bonds. he said. were IN
demnifled. but later attorneys for them
announced that the indemnity hao
been withdrawn. and the bondsmen
alone now were responsible for the
appearance for those particular de-
PENDANTS. Mr.. Miller intimated that
