Indianapolis, Ind, Dec 9.-Assaults
committed during the Iron Workers
strike We're investigated by the gov
eminent in the cross examination of
Patrick f. Farrell, New York, a de-
PENDANT. at the dynamite Conspiracy,
trial, today.
Out of $4,000 contributed by the In
ternational Union to sustain the strike
in New York, Farrell admitted he
furnished bonds for and paid the fines
of union men. Sixty assaulted, in
1906. in which bottles of ammonia and
revolvers were used as weapons and
in which one man was thrown in the
river and a policeman, who had at
tempted to quell riot as killed, were
charged by the government as being
part of reign of terror" which
preceded general use of dynamite
The strike never has been called off
Farrell is charged, as an executive
board member of the International
Union. with appropriating money to
enable j. J. Mcnamara to maintain a
''dynamiting crew."
Asked about the wreck of a draw
bridge at Pelham, n. Y, in Febru-
AIRY, 1908. when the draw fell into the
bay, Farrell said he had written to
Mcnamara that 1.-The high wind had
blown the work down.
Was the high wind a term used
to designate depredations against
non-union work." asked James w.
Noel, for the government.
1T was not. We believed the Pei
l,ay ;ah ri Of
potent workmen," said Farrell.
Farrell said he knew funds of the
union were expended for which no ae-
counting was made, but he did not know
what the money was spent for. He de-
MED all knowledge of McNamara's pur-
chase of explosives.
Frank J. Murphy of Detroit formerly
an iron workers business agent, was the
10th defendant to testify. Murphy is
charged with trying to find OUT how
much witness knew of alleged plots
to blow up non-unon work in Detroit.
Ortie L. McManigal confessed that in 1910
under orders of Herbert S. Hockin he
took suitcase filled with nitro glycerine
to Detroit. but that the order suddenly
was called off
Other witnesses testified that Charles
Wachtmeister had received $1,000 from
Hiram Cline, of the Carpenters Union, as
the carpenters share of the expenses for
explosions
Robert G.. NJ Ross came from Hawaii
to testify that Wachtmeister became in
toxicated and talked so much that the
proposed explosions were called off, and
that Murphy and Clarence T. Dowd, now
of Rochester, n. Y, met Ross to find out
what he knew of the plots.
Murphy denied he had ever talked to
Ross, and asserted he knew nothing of
proposed explosions of unionized trades
in Detroit
Murphy was passed by the government
without cross-examination.
Wachtmeister next testified.
"Did Cline ever give you SCOOP asked
Senator Kern.
Gle never did" said Wachtmeister.
Ibid you ever arrange with Cline for
blowing up buildings in Detroit or fol
buying explosives?"
81 never did,
The witness also denied meeting j. B.
| Mcnamara and telling him there was
.'too much talk" and to cease explosions
| in Detroit.
