Collins were placed on trial today charged with conspiring to plant dynamite at Lawrence during the textile strike in that city in January, 1912.
 The trial has been awaited with special interest because of the promi- hence of MT. Wood and also because 1t is the first time in Massachusetts that a serious criminal charge arising from labor difficulties has been pre- ferred against g. nnan1IfactUrer. The indictment and the arrest of the mill men caused sensation.
 AtteAux is dealer in chemicals and a friend of MT. Wood. Collins is . dog faneier of Cambridge. It is charged that the three defendants conspired with John J. Breen, an u.1- Pitrnan, a builder of Andover, to place dynamite in g. house occupied by strik- Ing textile operatives for the purpose of prejudicing public opinion by mak- ing it appear that the strikers had poss of an explosive which they intended to use in damaging mill prop erty.
 The police discovered the dynamite and arrested several striking opera tives who lived in the house. All subsequently, satisfied the court of their innocense and were discharged. Soon afterwards. Breen, a member of the Lawrence school board, was ar rested. convicted and fined $500 for s1plantine'' the explosive.

Hun dreds were disappointed. Wood had difficulty in getting 1t but finally es- tabffs1aed his identity. When the list Of svenireu1en was read, 13 of the 40 asked to be excused from jury duty. giving their reasons privately to the court.
 Several were excused. 4 motion by Coakley, that the indictment against his client be quashed on the ground that the offense charged was not ln- dictable, was denied.
 District Attorney Joseph c. Pelle- tier is personally prosecuting the case. In his defense of Wood, Attorney Pow CTS is assisted by Henry F. Hairlburt and James N. Clark. Daniel H. Sugh- rue is. associated with Coalxley in look ing after the interests of Atteaux
