NOEL IS BITTER
In DYNAMITE CASE
Federal Attorney Arraigns Ac'
cused Union Men as Mon
sters and Black Hearts

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 49,
Closing his argument with terrific
arraignment OF the 40 union men
charged with conspiracy, and unlawful
transportation OF explosives. James
w. Noel, special assistant district at
torney, today urged the jury TO do It's
duty and give the men the full pen
atty OF the law. Following the coming
four days OF argument by the defense.
District Attorney Charles Miller will
take two and a half days TO close for
the government.
Chester Crum, attorney for the two
ST. Louis defendants, Paul Morrin and
John Barry, opened the argument for
the defense. Crum paid attention
mainly TO the cases Of his two clients,
leaving the task OF answering the gov
ernment's general charges to Senator
John r. Kern, who was TO follow him,
shortly. The st. Louis attorney ar
gued that the governments evidence
was insufficient to convict Barry, and
Morrin, denying the conspiracy and
the specific counts OF unlawful trans
portation, and pointing out the admit
ted conflict between his clients and
the unions administration. their good
regulations and their statements on
the witness stand.
Noel's closing was one OF the ierc-
est attacks on men ever heard In a
local court room Monster criminals
perjurers, disrespecters Of law and
black hearted conspirators," were a
few OF the names he called them. In
dividually, too. he branded them, en-
phasizing his words by scornful looks
squarely In the faces Of the indicted
men.
Noel charged Defendants Herber'
Hockin and Edward Smythe with dyn-
amitings In Peoria, and ridiculed their
abb based on theater tickets for the
same night OF the explosion. Time
clocks were used In setting on the
nitrolglycerlne. said Noel.
"Hockin Is the man who produced
more explosions than anybody else.
He prided himself on being master
in crime.

Amendment Compiled by
Canvassers

LANSING, Mich. Dec. 1e.--(Spe-
cial. Equal suffrage was officially
lost In the state board OF canyassers
this morning by a majority OF 100.
With complete returns from every
county in the state tabulated and GER
tilted to. the total vote against the
amendment is 24S.175, while 247s375
votes were cast in its favor. In can
wasting the vote, the state board did
not take into consideration the re-
count In Wayne county, which. the
courts have held TO be Illegal.
The other constitutional amend
ment providing for piecemeal amend
ment OF charters for cities and VII
lagos was adopted by majority Of
1882. The vote was 2S5,s11 for. and
13s,579 against Although the lead
ing suffragists have apparently not
decided as to whether they will ask
the legislature to resubmit the amend
ment az the spring election. It il
thought that vote will not be taken
again for two years. or perhaps until
the next presidential election.
