NONE READY To

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Dec. a.
District Attorney Charles w. Miller.
in opening his argument today In the
dynamite conspiracy trial, challenged
any Of the twelve attorneys for the
defense to say that defendants Her
bert s. Hoclln, deposed secretary
treasurer OF the Iron Workers. Or J.
f. Munsey, OF salt Lake, are not
guilty.
None arose to defend either man.
Miller made 8 vigorous attack on
Senator Kern for opposing the gov

said the district attorney.
These defendants never told their
lawyers the facts. and their lawyers
never told their clients the law; each
deceived the other.
Until Senator Kern stood UP to
speak here today he had never read
the indictment against his clients,
said Miller
you have heard this United States
