Hockin Often Mentioned.

The story of Hockin, as told was. As
an organizer for the union he induced
MECHANICAL to do dynamitng. Then he
began to hold out" on the pay allowed
McManigal for jobs. This resulted in
quarrels, and the McNamaras decided to
have little to do with him. Knowing this.
Hockin went TO a contractor in Pitts
burgh and betrayed the dynam.ters. That
was before the loss of life at Los An
geles. Later Hockin worked for Burns.
while still remaining an official Of the
union, and when the federal grand jury
began work in Indianapolis Hockin took
information to the government.
The testimony at the trial resulted in
the increasing OF Hockin's bonds so that
he was confined to Jail. Hockin asserted
10 those for whom he was accused of
acting as a spy that he took no part IN
dyramiting but witnesses pointed him
out as the man to whom they actually
sold explosives.
President Ryan Of the ironworkers'
union and all the other defendants were
charged with being principals TO the con-
spiraCy through the writing Of letters.
Ryan's defence was that the McNamaras
and those who confessed alone knew that
a "dynamiting campaign" was being car
RED on, and that the executive board
members did not know what Secretary
Mcnamara did with the $1,000 monthly
appropriated for his use without his being
required 10 give an accounting.
Beyond doubt the testimony which at
tracted keenest interest was that which
related to the blowing up of the Los An
geles Times Building. That man could
deliberately buy five hundred pounds OF

Two Striking Coincidences.

Two striking condolences attended the
trial.
one was that on october l, 1911, ex-
actly one year after the Los Angeles
Times Building was blown up with a loss
Of twenty-one lives. the federal authori-
:ics at indianapolis first considered the
possibility Of prosecutions for Illegal in
terstate shipment Of dynamite and nitro
slycerine on passenger trains. Ortie h.
McNanigars confession, obtained after he
and the Mcnamara brothers had been ar
rested. implicated others as having actu-
ally carried explosives in suitcases on
trains. or as having entered into a con-
spiracy. This indicated. in District At
torney Charles w. Miller's opinion, the
necessity for a grand Jury investigation.
indianapolis was the headquarters or
John j. Mcnamara. secretary OF the iron
workers union, and the point at which, II
was charged, the conspiracy was entered
into and from which the explosives Were
carried.
Another coincidence was that the trial
began on October 1, 1912, the second an
niversary Of THE Times" explosion. The
federal grand jury. after several months
investigation, returned indictments against
ffty-four union labor officials Before the
defence began its case this number had
been reduced to forty-one on account Of
various Examinations.
Asa motive for the crimes charged the
government referred 10 the strike against
employers Of non-union labor, consisting

they belonged TO the union or not. This

Murder Stage Reached.
Detectives had already been working
on the case when the killing Of twenty
one persons IN. Los Angeles by bomb
set Of at ! O'clock in the morning
showed that the desperation Of the dyna-
miters had reached the murder stage.
Much Of the evidence that was pre-
Guided at Los Angeles by the pleas of

work OF destruction might be carried on
systematically. 1t was what made him
bold enough to send his brother, James

in Los Angeles James y. Mcnamara,
who set the bomb. was a printer Wit

expressed little regret that twenty-one
persons were killed. and. IN fact, eX-
pressed disappointment that he had not
