WILL THE DYNAMITE CONSPIRACY TRIAL OF
MILLIONAIRE WOOD BE REAL OR A FARCE?
Mary Boyle O'Reilly Goes to Boston for The Day Book

None of the Newspapers' Dammed Business.
Editor's Note. This import

aire William M. Wood, et al., for
conspiracy in- planting dynamite
in Lawrence, Mass., last winter
to discredit the striking textile
workers, is the result of a careful
investigation by her to discover

capitalists will have whether it
will be a REAL trial, such as
the union dynamiters at Indian
apolis had, or whether it will be
something that will " resemble
only an opera bouffe.
The first chapter of her con

Or
Will it be just a farcical affair,
designed to let another class of
accused dynamiters out the "easy
way?"
