other buildings in eastern cities
where open shops" iron and steel
contractors had their offices, and to
explode a bomb in a sleeping car i'll
order to kill Mary G.. Dye, a stenog-
rapher, were described by Lindsey l..

to him by Herbert S. Hockin.
The explosions contemplated, as
told by Witnesses were:

burgh occupied by officials of the iron
and steel contractors who employed
non-unon men and also to blow up

terwOrks at Los Angeles.
TO blow up a sleeping car to get
rid of stenographer formerly EN-
ployed by the Iron Workers union,

"I'll blow the whole town off the
map; the people will think there has
been another earthquake similar to
San Francisco" said j. b, Mcnamara,
discussing the campaign he expected
to make at Los Angeles, according to
Ortie E. McManigal,
An assertion by McManigal that he
was urged to go to Panama by }. j.
Mcnamara as a dynamiter previously
torney Miller as one Of the regulations
to be made al the trlgtl.
When was it that Hockin first dis
closed information about explosions?'
Jewell was asked by Senator Kern,
for the defense.
He told me he was opposed to the
wholesale murder being planned and
got me to promise him | would never
reveal the source of my information.
He told me President Ryan knew
nothing of the plots to murder. That
was Mcnamara scheme.
After Hockin told me who blew up
the Times building | promised him if
he ever got into trouble | would see
that after he got out he would get a
pension paying him $500 for two
years. When Hockin began to report
to Burns, Burns assumed that obi
cation to Hockin."
BLOW UP PULLMAN.
Did Hockin tell you J. p. McNama-
"a was planning to blow up a whole
sleeping car full of persons in order to
Kill Miss Dye because she knew too
much?" asked District Attorney Mil,
ler
Yes: llockin told me of plots OF
wholesale murder and that the t'ricll
building was to be blown up with
other buildings in the east in which
were the offices Of non-unon en-
ployers.'
Jewell also repeated statements
that H0ckin reported to Burns direct
within month after the Times ex-
p!osion, telling Burns the dynamiters
were Oh a hunting trip in the Wis
Consin woods.
1t was because of Jewells testi-
m0ny that Judge Anderson increased
Ilockin's bond from $4,000 to $50
eco in default OF which he was in
custody Of a deputy marshal at the
trial today No action was taken by
the court on the governments motion
TO increase the bonds of six more de-
PENDANTS.
