Thirty-Eight Dynamite Conspirators
Declared Guilty by Jury
Review of the
Celebrated
Cases
■ ■ ■
Indianapolis. Dec. 28.—1 t was a i
scene blended with tragedy tnat eon- i
fronted those who week after week *
sat through the historic “dynamite _
conspiracy" trials.
Now It was s baby crying from the I
rear of the court room, where the;
wives and children of the defend- i
ants sat: now it was the heavy voire?
of s man seated in the witness chair j
aud defending himself against the
charges of u nation-wide conspiracy. |
in which officials of uuion labor wer«
deeply concerned. Wltuesaes from,
uoar and far ram* and weqt. but I
those whose fate reeled with the jury;
remained there, listening to the ac
cusations and to the oft-repeated!
story of the killing of 21 people Ic
the U»» Augcl** “Times' explosion
The court pen itself seemed «:
fitting setting for that sombre story
Surrounded by great marble pillars. l
with the dayjght shut out by heavy
curtains, and the Judge Installed be
fore an allegorical painting of Jus-;
lice, that court room flay after da) .
echoed tbe stories of violence, of the,
•Uawvery of burnt fuses and burst- 1
*d informal machines, of midnight >
visits by mysterious men In alleys. f
in empty houses.. In lonely country
roads, or on the tops of building*.
The vision of a dark spectre with
a bomb under his arm became a fa
miliar Image lu the minds of those
who IMened. Rack of tbe railings,
amid the spectators. sat the relative* i
of tho defendants. Three row* deep*
aero** the loom were the defendant* j
Among the score of attorney# m»« !
perhaps the most picturesque defend-1
ant. massive In build, florid in com- j
pie*ion. always studiously occupied. J
now copiously filling hi* notebook j
when the testimony was exciting; ]
now. when the trial lugged, burying!
bln spectacled nose In a Latin ver-|
sion of Omar Khayyam, lie was Olnf I
A. Tveltmoo. of Han FYniicisco. j
Another man toward whom the
eyes of the spectators often strayed
was Herbert R. llockln He aat apart •
between bailiffs, during much of
tbe trial, for he had been branded by
tbe court as “a man who could not
be trusted by any one." It was
llockln who was accused of “hold
ing out" on the pay of the dynamit
ers: It wa* he who was said to have
caused a quarrel In the rank* of the
McNamara* and McManlgal. and it
wa* he who finally waa charged with
“betraying for hla own gain" thone
with whom he once associated. and
with whom he waa affiliated in the
Iron workers' union.
Gray-haircd and old beyond hi*
years sat Frank M. Ryan, preeident
of the iron workers' union, by vir
tue of which office he was a leader
in national labor rircles, with a seat
iu the council* of the American Fed
eration of Labor.
McManlgal, the self confessed dy
namiter, for weeks occupied the wit
ness stand, relating, calmly, decisiv
ely and without any apparent con
cern for himself a narrative of vio
lence seldom equalled.
And what were tbe antecedents of
tbla trial?
Duck In the Kunmef of 1905 dy
usmit* was found at New Ilaveo,
Conu.. ftu a Job ou which non-union
workman were employed. Later the ;
iron workers’ union culled a strike
on several contractors, and the strike
became geueral. That wus the be
ginning, according to the govern
ment, und It spread until McNamara
organized a “dyuamtMug crow." Al
together Ida explosions occurred,
those at Los Angeles being among
the number.
Two etrlking coincidents attend
ed the trial.
One* wus that on October 1. 1911.
exactly one year after the Los An
geles "Times” building was blown
up, with a loss of 21 lives, tho fed
eral authorities at Indianapolis first
considered the possibility of prosecu
tions for illegal interstate shipment
of dynamite and nitroglycerin on
passenger trains. Ortie E. McManl
pal's confession, obtained after ho
and the McNamara brothers had
been arrested, implicated others us
having actually carried explosives In
