HOckIN IS AGAIN
Butt Of ATTACK
At indianapolis
Superintendent Of Police
Narrates circumstances
in Connection With the
Arrest Of Mcnamara.

indianapolis, Ind, Oct 26.-Another
assault was made on Herbert 8. Hook
in, acting secretary-treasurer OF the
International Bridge and Structural
Ironworkers, this afternoon. when
Martin J. Hyland. superintendent of
police in indianapolis, q witness in the
dynamite conspiracy trial. retold the
events Of the arrest OF John ]. Nc
Namara and the raid on the Ironwork-
ers' vaults and the piano box on the
Jones farm. where dynamite and nj
troglycerin were fourd. Hyland's
story was for the most part repeti-
ton OF the recital Of Walter Drew Of
New York, counsel for the National
Erectors' association, who. with De-
tective Burns, accompanied Hyland
that Saturday night, but the police
head related the incidents with graph
ic detail. illustrating his story with
the Identification OF the telescopes in
which the explosives were found and
always when asked who was there.
said: "Hockin."
According to Hyland. Hockin was at
the police station and at union head
quarters watching all the acts OF the
drama. But Of all the men ranged
three deep in the defendants seats the
most unconcerned was Hockin. In
the corridors at recess he repeated
several times:
They have nothing on me-"
Hoekin's Wife Present.
Immediately behind him on the first
bench reserved for spectators sat the
young. pretty and modishly gowned
Mrs. Hockin. Her dark eyes looked
troubled every time either the district
attorney or the policeman said "Hock-
in but with a reassuring smile her
husband turned back to her and mute
ly told her not to worry. For Hockin,
it was learned tonight, has his de-
fen = prepared. He will take the
stand and that his co-defendants do
not disturb him Is evident by the fact
that they have remained cordial and
friendly. Hockin will admit that he
saw Drew on the occasions related; he
will admit that he was at the police
station, but he will declare that he
was there for the good OF the union.
He will assert that he was seeking to
make the acquaintance OF the avowed
enemies Of the 1ronworkers' union In
order that he might find out what they
intended to do and perhaps place him
self in a position to benefit his fell
lows.
Hyland was the only witness today
Of any interest He described in de-
tail the arrest Of Mcnamara the re-
fusal of Mcnamara to open the vaults;
the breaking open of them after a
search warrant was found, the finding
of explosives, fuse. clocks and caps in
the vault and finally the visit with
Burns to the Jones farm. where other
explosives were found in the piano
box.
Other witnesses were Mrs. Grace
Wallace, Miss Irene Hermann and
Miss Marie Meyer, Ironworkers stem
ographers who identified records of
long distance calls from the union
headquarters, and Drew, who was
called by the defense for additional
cross examination. There was a laugh
when Senator Kern asked Drew: do
you not know that Ryan appealed to
President Roosevelt to settle the con
troversy."
You mean exPresident Roosevelt |
do you not. SENATOR" Drew replied.
well, Mt any rate, I hope I do not |
mean next President Roosevelt" was
Senator kerns retort.
