Pat-itic Coast labor leader and editor,

s.gned to do work in the carpenter
shop. Herbert H. Hock in. the lago of

"Kvery man is to be given work,
.iuitablo to him." said Ueputy Warden!
W. 11. Mackcy. "Must of these prison?

Writs of Errew ..ranted.
Indianapolis. Ind., January 2 ?After
attorneys for the. thirty-three con?
victed dynamite conspirators had
withdrawn their application for a writ
of supersedeas. Federal Judge Ander?
son to-day granted their prayer for a
writ of error.
During the hearing W. N. Harding
announced that Herbert S?. Hocklti
would not ask an appeal. The grant?
ing of the writ of error means that
the request for superaedeaa writ will
be taken to the Circuit Court of Ap?
peals or one of the Judges of the court.
Chester II. Krum was spokesman for
the defense counsel. Judge Anderson
Kranted his request to strike out of the
petition the prayer for a writ of super- i
sedeas. allowing th- writ of error.
Mr. Krum declared Mr. Miller, the!
district attorneyy, would be notified
aa soon as the Judge and time had been ;
decided upon for presentation.
"Your Honor." Interpos-d Mr. Hard?
ing, of the defense. Just before the
hearing was oonelialcd. *I wish to an?
nounce that the defendant Hpekin will
not ask an appeal In his case. He Is
satisfied with the sentence imposed
on him."
"?Then as must he the only one,"
Judge Anderson said.
? I am not sure." replied Mr Hard
irur. "While I am In no position to'
say at this time. th?re may be others
who will not ask an appeal."
Application for a supcrsed-a* In con-i
nectlon with the writ will be made In .
Chicago to-morrow. This announce- '
ment was made to-night after a con-|
fereiice of attorneys. Counsel for the j
defense left ttenizht for Chle*tri. The'
writ of error probably will not be pre?
sented to the Circuit Court of Appeals
for several weeks.
