WOOL CHIEF HELD
AS A DYNAM|TER
William M. Wood Charged With
Lawrence Conspiracy.
ARREST CAUSES A SENSATION
Action Follows Suicide of Prominent
Builder of Andover, Mass, Whose
Admissions Resulted in In
quiry by Grand Jury.

Boston, Sept 3-William NJ Wood
of Boston, president of the American
Wooden company, was arrested Friday
on an indictment warrant charging
him with conspiring to distribute dyna-
mite in Lawrence during the general
strike there last winter. President
Wood surrendered himself to the au-
thorities and furnished cash ball OF
$4,000. 1t Is understood he will be for
mally arraigned in superior court
next Tuesday.
Wood was the most prominent of
four men indicted by special Suf-
folk county grand jury in connection
with the planting of the dynamite in
Lawrence. He lives with his wife
and three children ate Andover. His
Boston Offices are at Devonshire
street.
The indictment of Wood and the
three other men, two Of whom are
prominent in the textile world, fol-
lowed the suicide Of e. w. Pitman,
a big mill builder and an Andover
neighbor of Wood, who was also In,
the dynamite conspiracy, it is de-
clared, and whose admissions to Dis
trict Attorney Pelletter led to the
grand jury investigation.
Rather than appear before the grand
jury in response to a summons and
tell what he knew about Wood and
his other friends In the conspiracy,
Pitman ended his life by firing a bull
let into his brain.
Dennis Collins of Cambridge, who
was arrested on a charge of unlaw-
fully having placed dynamite in a
railroad passenger train for trans
portation, is in jail in default of $1,000
bail for hearing next Tuesday. The
name of a third man indicted has not
been announced.
The discovery of dynamite in a
Syrian lodging house, a cobbler,s shop
and a cemetery in Lawrence last
January, while the textile strike was
at it's height, caused a sensation. The
strike leaders denied that they had
any intention of using an explosive to
further their plans and charged that
the dynamite had been planted" for
the purpose of discrediting labor

had their arms concealed and that on
September Is they would mingle with
the merry-making crowd and incite
the lower element to start looting.

ness, declares The st. Peter Free

equally guilty. But for some rea-

one has been killed or crippled our
city officials will realize that they
have other duties to perform be-

stopped.
