Conspirators in Dyna.
mite 'PIanting."

BOSTON, May 22.-An attempt to
Breen. one of the principal witnesses
for the prosecution, was made by At
torney Daniel H. Coakley, counsel for
Frederick E. Atteaux. at today's ses-
sion Of the trial of Atteaux. President
William NJ. Wood of the American
Wooden Company and Dennis J. Col
Inns for conspiracy to plant dynamite
at Lawrence during the textile strike
last year.
Breen, who says that Atteaux hired him
to plant the explosive. admitted today
under cross-examinatiOn that he made
false statements repeatedly relative to
the case. but declared that in his testi-
mony he had told nothing but the truth
The witness told of the payment to him
by Atteaux of $500 January ~. l9l.. the
day the dynamite was taken to Law
renee Breen said that he stood at the
corner of Franklin and Washington
streets, Boston. at o:3N pm, when At
teaux drove up in taxicab and said to
him, Follow me. john The money Is
in the package; will drop it and no one
ever can say l gave you anything.
Breen said that he followed about

package was dropped he picked 1t up
Replying 10 MT. SOdhIes, Dieeh saio
that the corner where the TRANSACTION
took place was a very busy one at 5.'o
pm, with hundreds of persons passing.
He knew no reason. he said. why Atteaux
should select such a spot for payment
i'm preference to the privacy of MS own
Office where no one could see or near
what was happening. Although there
were many people on the street at the
time, he was not afraid that he might
be seen or that the package might be
picked up by some other person before
he reached it.
