PRESIDENT WOOD
PLACED ON TRIAL
Head of American Wooden Com
pany Charged with "Plant-
ing" Dynamite.

Boston, May 19.--William NJ Wood
president of the American Wooden COM
pany and a textile manufacturer of inter
national reputation. Frederick Il. Atteaux
and Dennis j. Collins were placed on trial
to-day charged with conspiring to plant"
dynamite at Lawrence during the textile
strike in that city in January, 1872
The trial has been awaited with special
interest because of the prominence of MIR,
Wood and also because it is the first time
in Massachusetts that a serious criminal
charge arising from labor difficulties has
been preferred against a manufacturer.
The indictment and arrest of the mill
man last August caused a sensation.
Atteaux is a dealer in chemicals and a
friend of Mr. Wood. Collins Is a dog fan
cier of Cambridge. It is charged that the
three defendants conspred with John j.
Breen, an undertaken OF Lawrence, and
Ernest r. Pittman a builder of Andover
to place dynamite in a house occupied by
striking textile operatives for the purpose
of prejudicing public opinion by making
1t appear that the strikers had possession
of an explosive which they intended tc
use in damaging mill property.
The police discovered the dynamite
and arrested several strike operatives
who lived in the house. All subsequent
ly satisfied the court of their limo
ccnce and were discharged.
Soon afterward Breen, member OF
the Lawrence school board, was ar
rested, convicted and fined $500 foi
