EVIDENCE ENOUGH
 ID HANG 'b|G TIM'
So Declares Prosecutor in Chicago
 Terrorism Cases

Chicago. May 12-Police and civic organizations today saw in the indict- ment of eight Chicago labor leaders and the states attorneys threat to use against them the law invoked s6 years ago to obtain executions of the Haymarket rioters. a smashing blow at what they termed gang terrorism. Murder Indictments.
 In the first night session on record, Cook county special grand jury re- turned true bills charging murder against Big" Tim Murphy, head of the "gas workers union"; Fred Nader, president Of the Chicago building trades council, and Cornelius (Con) Shea, secretary-treasurer of the thea ter janitors' union, referred to as the "big three" of the vicious labor circle, and five others.
 The indictments are forerunners of scores of others, city and county officials said. More than 400 per- sons were arrested and but few have been released with the greater number denied freedom on writs of habeas corpus.
 Other Union Men Named.
 Others named in the indictments are: 1sadore Braverman, head of the picture hangers union; Daniel Mccarthy, business agent of the plumbers union; Jerry Hogan, saloon keeper; Thomas Hogan, former. police officer, and Robert McCloud, clerk in the building trades council.
 The eight are charged specifically with the killing of Terrence Lyons, acting police lieutenant. The staying of Lyons followed the murder of Thomas Clark, patrolman on guard at a building which previously had been bombed, police say. by labor men, because it was being erected under the Landis award, Wage de- cision handed down by K. M. Landis, former federal judge, which was in- contractors and labor.
 Have Ample Evidence.
 we have sufficient evidence to hang Murphy, Shea and Nader" George F. German. assistant states attorney said, following announce ment that indictments had been re- turned.
 Big Tim" Murphy evidenced no surprise when he was informed of the indictments.
 Anybody can be indicted" he said. They can even indict a man for con- cealing ideas. That must be the charge they have against me.
 How can one conspire with guys l don't know anything about?"
 @ Accused Talk Freely.
 AS for the death penalty, it's been announced several times that men would hang and they are today walk ing the streets free men. Poor old Con" Shea is too old to conspire with anybody. We are as sorry for the cops as the officers. "The whole thing is just a big splash"
 Its a shame" exclaimed Fred Nader
 It is not charged that Murphy, Nader or Shea actually shot the po- licemen, but that they were involved in the conspiracy which led to the killings.
