brought from the Pacific coast to re-

A curly-headed, dimple-cheeked girl,
garbed in a pink dress, waa called
from North Randall, ©., to point out
th the court room Peter J. Smith and
George (Nipper) Anderson, of Cleve-
rland, as men.sbe saw going up a lone-
ly road with a box shortly before an
explosion at North Randall. A me-
chanic came from Hawaii to tell of
overhearing certain of the defendants'
discuaa proposed explosions in Detroit.
An engineer came from Panama to
recount his experience with Hockin.
Men who drove livery wagons, check
boys in railway stations, who eared
for sult-casea. filled with Infernal ma-
chines, hotel clerks who "booked" the
McNamarja and McManigal for rooms
detectives, stenographers, contractors
who suffered from explosions, and tel-
tohone operators, all related piece-
meal their knowledge of the defend-
ants' conversations or movements,
which the government undertook to
weave into <• completed story to show
at once the Individual guilt of each
and the collective guilt of'all the de-
fendants.
One by one tha defendants heard
the charges repeated against them.
Tveltmoe heard his name naimtlon-
ed often. He waa accused as having
furnished C,apian and Schmidt to help
blow up the "Timea" building. He
was named at having sent word to Mc-
Namara the month after the explos-
ion that "things were all right on the
<;oast" and aa having re<¥ieste>l the
dynamiters again be sent to Lis An-
geles, later acknowledging another
explosion there on December 16, 1910.
as "a Christmas present" MeManlgal
said he called at Tvaitmos's office In
San 'Francisco, but met only Eugene
A. Clancy there. Anton Johannsen
was mentioned by witnesses a» hav-
ing helped Tvenltmoe,. Willltm J.
Burnt testified he told Mayor Alexan-
der, of L>oa Angeles, the day after the
explosion that "Tveltmoe ^nd Johann-
sen were behind it" Testimony about
Johannaen was permitted on the
ground that thouah not a defendant
"he had been shown te be a conspira-
tor."
J, EL Munsey, Salt Lake City, was
charged with harboring the Lm An-
geles dynamiter for two weeks. A
tailor in Salt Lake City said %hs alter-
ed clothes for the dynamiter, and oth-
er witnesses said they saw Munsey,
J also known as "Jack Bright" and
McNamara together.
Clancy waa again mentioned as be-
ing in Boston when the Pacific coast
explosion o-curred. and aa hurrying
west after telegraphing "Clean house"
meaning, ns the government charged,
to destroy evidence. H. W. Poijman,
•f Seattle, was mentioned as bringing
Clancy toge'her in
that city.
Of all th j defendants Herbert 8.
Hockin was probably the most con-
spicuous in the testimony.
The story of Hockin as toll, was:
As an organiser for the union he in-
duced MoManlga! to do dynamiting.
Then' he began to "hold out" on the
pay allows.) MeManlgal for Jobs. This
resulted In quarrels, and the McNam-
aras decided to hava little to do with
him. Knowing this. Hockin went .to
a contractor In Pittsburg and 1 etray-
ed the dynamiter*. That was before
the loss of life at Los Angelss. Later
Hockin worked for Burns. wh>!e still
remaining ac an oficial of the union,
and when the federal grand Juty be-
gan work in Indianapolis, tockln
: took information to the government
The testimony at the trial resulted
in the increasing of Hockin'* bonds,
so that he was confined to Jail. Hook,

I accused of acting as a spy. th.it he
{took no part in dynamiting, but wit-
nesses from Muntoe, Ind., and et Cin-
cinnati pointed blm out as tkt man
te whom they actually sold exploa-
j lves.
Hockin again was the man most
mentioned t> McManigal. "After be
had induced me to Mow up a Job in
Detroit la 1M7," said McMlnlgal,
• "Hockin told me there was no use of
my attempting to- quit now, as they
had the lecls oa me. I asktd him
j who was going to pay me for my work.
He ssid the executive board had set

replied my fcmily would be taken care

nut# $16® Houlihan said;
Thei-e is money in thet' "
Jn July of 1901 according o Mc-
Man gal, Hockin met him in Buffalo,
and after j <-niing oat a viaduct, said
he wanted to get to Canada before
the explosion took place. Ab.ut 11
o'clock that night MeManlgal sot off
the dynamite with a sixty-foot fusa.
He said Hockin met him later in Chi-
cago and |«ld him.
Then Hoekln asked McManiga.1 to
go to St Louis, but. he refused, and
went instead to Hoiy^ke, Mass.. where
an explosion failed because the dyna-
mite waa hyvied in the ground too
long, McManigal said.
"Up to March. 1»09, Hockin was the
only man who knew me as a dyna-
miter," said McManigal. "Just before
thet date he arranged for me to go
to Boston at.d see M. J. Young re-
garding the Job on the Boston Opera
bouse, which was blown up." Later,
on instruction from Hockin, MeMan-
lgal said he went to Hockin to con.
fer with Frank C. Webb, of New
York, about blowing up a viaduct A
dispute arose and McManigal told
Webb that Hockin waa paying f< r the
work and he purposed to follow In-
structions.
"Hockin paid me flfiO for the Bos-
ton and Hofcoken Jobs," said McMan-
igal. "Then It was arranged I should
meet J. B. McNamara for ths first
time. Hockin had telegraphed me to
meet him ir Indie:-. V"*. We went
from there to Munice. Ind., where we
met J. B. Hockin made all arrange,
menu here about getting rigs, boxes
and cans for ths nitroglycerin he was
negotiating for. He had me buy a
piano box and rent a house, fill bar-
rels with dust and put them <n the
house for storing the explosive. Hock,
