Close Case ON THURSDAY
Case of the Dynamiters Expected TO

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 20.-Denial
that aid in raising a defense fund for
the Mcnamara brothers by labor un-
ion officials now on trial should be
taken as an indication of guilty
knowledge Of dynamite conspIr-
acy" on the part OF the forty defen-
dants was made by attorneys for the
defense in their argument before
the federal jury today.
1T has been repeatedly charged by
the government that these defendants
showed their implication in the dyna-
mite plots because Of their efforts to
help the McNamaras while the Nc
Namaras were locked up in Los An
geles and before they pleaded guilty"
said M. c, Tiffs, Minneapolis, continu-
ing the argument for the defense.
Having every confidence that John
j. Mcnamara. their brother union Of
ficial, was innocent, 1t was the duty
Of these defendants to help them.
"The very enormity Of the crime at
Los Angeles, the very boldness and
extent to which explosions had been
carried on secretly for years made It
unthinkable that the secretary Of the
Iron Workers International union
committee them or caused them to be
committed. Had tho defendants
raised a defense fund after the Nc
Namaras pleaded guilty, then they
would have been subject to criticism,
but not otherwise. John j. was the
brains of the plots and these men
scattered over the country were not
closely enough associated with him
to have become acquainted with his
criminal acts"
Defending Charles n. Beum. Min
neapolis, and Fred j. Money, Duluth,
whom he especially represented, Mr.
Tiff said they had no knowledge OF
any $1,000 month used by McNa-
mara for dynamitlng expenses.
Attorney j. G. Leffler replied to
statements by the district attorney
that most Of the defendants were
walking delegates and business
agents who did not work, but who
used the funds Of labor unions to fur
ther their own ambitions"
THE business agent has a mission"
said Mr.. Leffler. Ills mission Is TO
procure for laboring men the wages
which laborlng men otherwise would
not get"
United states Senator John w.
Kern will argue for the defense next
Monday, lie will be followed by the
closing statements OF the government.
All OF the argument is to be conclud-
ed by newt Thursday. when the only
detail remaining before the jury re-
tires will be the instructions Of Fed
eral Judge Albert B. Anderson.
