Case Believed To Have
Been Dropped, Comes
To Head

MACON, May 10.-Charged with
peonage, u. G. B. Hogan, wealthy
manager Hogan Brothers farm of
Dexter, near Dublin, taken into GUS
tody by federal marshals today and
brought to Macon.
The Hogan farm came into the
limelight a week ago last Saturday
with published charges that peonage
had been practiced on the farm, but
Mr.. Hogan replied that the Charges
were the outgrowth of local trouble
and were without foundation. Later
developments seemed to indicate
that the charges had been found
groundless and the case was believ-
ed to have been dropped.
The arrest followed conference
here yesterday of District Attorney
Bennett and Federal Investigator
Hughes in which they decided the
evidence sufficient to warrant ac-
ton without awaiting the sitting of
the next federal grand jury.

BENNETT RAPS
PEONAGE YARNS.

MACON, May lU.-Coupled with
denial from Vincent Hughes, spe-
cial agent in charge of the Bureau
of Investigation for the Department
of Justice, for Georgia, of friction
between himself and the office of
the United States District attorney
here, John w. Bennett, who holds
the latter position, last night issued
statement which was Enthusiastically
a denunciation of Hooper Alexander,
attorney for the Northern district,
and Governor Hugh M. Dorsey for
what he termed the "unwarranted
and unjust advertisement" the state
has been given through the publica-
tion of peonage rumors from high
officials.
Mr.. Benefits statement follows:
Il came to Macon today to con-
fer with my assistant, Mr.. Powers,
and with Mr.. Billups Harris, division
superintendent of the Bureau of In
vestigation, Atlanta, and MIR. Vincent
w. Hughes, special agent in charge
of this bureau, with reference to an
alleged peonage case, which was not
reported to this office in time to be
presented to the grand jury, which
was in session at Macon last week.
after a most thorough investiga-
tion, we have reached the conclusion
that the facts justify a prosecution.
| therefore have directed that war;
| rant be sworn out in order that the
case may be thoroughly investigated.
with reference to the recent re-
port of an alleged conflict between
this office and the Bureau of Inves-
tigation, | know absolutely nothing
that would authorize the statement.
On the contrary, the relations be-
tween this office and the Bureau of
| Investigation have always been
pleasant and cordial, and we have
worked in perfect harmony.
"a number of reports of alleged
| peonage have come to this office
during my incumbency. Wherever
| jurisdiction appeared to be in this
| district, these reports have had
prompt attention and investigation;
where jurisdiction appeared to be in
| the Northern district, they have been
referred to the proper authority. In
only a very few cases handled by
this office including the Williams
case and the case investigated today,
have we found that the facts would
authorize prosecution.
"We have not seen proper to ad-
vertise these various alleged cases
in the newspapers of the state, but
have cautiously avoided doing so.
"While we realize that there may
exist some cases of peonage in
Georgia. other than these two cases,
and while we realize that the facts
in the Williams case appeared to be
most atrocious, we do not feel that
the condition in Georgia is such that
the state merited the unfortunate
and unjust advertisement that it has
| recently received from some of our
high officials, through the medium
of the newspapers.
Georgia, as a whole, is as law
abiding as anv state in the United
States, and the recent sensational
publicity given to it is as unjust as
it is unwarranted." :"

SAN QUENTIN, Calf, May 10
(By Associated Press. s.)-No plans
for the rearrest of John j. McNa-
mara, Los Angeles dynamiter, were
known to prison officials when he
left San Quentin prison today at the
expiration of his fifteen-year SEN
tence. He actually had served less
than ten years.
Friends arranged reception for
Mcnamara at the prison gate and
he was invited to speak tonight at
meeting of the local bridge and
structural iron workers of which
union he was formerly international
secretary.
John J. Mcnamara, former secre-
tary of the International Association
of Bridge and Structural lronwork-
ers, was sentenced to fifteen years
Imprisonment in San Quentin penl-
tentiary, in the Los Angeles Super
ior court, December 5, 1911, when
he pleaded guilty to a charge of hav-
ing conspired to dynamite the plant
of the Llewellyn Iron Works in this
city. The plea was made while he
was on trial on a charge of murder
in connection with the blowing up
of the Los Angeles Times building,
October l, 1910.
James B. Mcnamara, brother of
John, who was being tried Jointly
with the latter, pleaded guilty to
murder and was sentenced to life
Imprisonment. The state alleged
the McNamaras conspired with 9th
ers to blow up The Times building,
and that the plot was carried out by
James Mcnamara planting dyna-

mite bomb in the rear of the struc-
ture. Twenty employees of The Times
were killed in the destruction of the
building.
1t was alleged the motive for the
crime was that The Times had taken
the side of the Llewellyn Iron Works
workers there, and that the accus-
workers there, an dthat the accus-
ed were also concerned in an at
tempt to blow up the Llewellyn
plant.
The McNamaras were arrested in
the east after Ortie E. McManigal,
an alleged accomplice, made con-
fession. McManigal was the prlncl-
pal witness at the trial, which came
to a dramtic end when the accused
men offered to make pleas of guilty
if assured they would escape death
penalty. >.
Two other alleged accomplices
were arrested and received prison
sentences in California Thirty-nlne
other persons who had been assocl-
ated with the McNamaras in Indiana,
were convicted of conspiring to
transport dynamite, in the Federal
court at Indianapolis These cases
followed statements by McManlgal
to the effect that there had been a
countrywide dynamiting of bridges
and other structures on which non
union workers had been employed.
Remaining indictments against
John Mcnamara in Los Angeles have
been outlawed, but it was said here
he might possibly have to, face
charges in Indianapolis upon his re-
lease.
