VoL, LIV —NO 313 The Bulletin’s Clrculatlon In PRICE TWO CENTS DYNAMITE CASES MAY REPORT AT THE OPENING OF COURT TODAY Long Deliberation is Expected, However, as Court Enjoined | | Them to Carefully Weigh All the Evidence in Each Case | — District Attorney Miller Again Flays Senator Kern —Judge Delivers Conservative Charge to the Jury. Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 26.—What- ever is to be the outcome of the throe months’ “dynamite conspiracy” trlal in which forty labor union officials are; accused of complicity in the McNamara plots to destroy property, including the wrecking of the Los Angeles Timeés building, where twenty-one persons were killed, now, rests with the jury. Federal Judge A. B. Anderson a few minutes after 5 o'clock tonight in- structed (the jury and ordered it to re- tire. The court then adjourned until 9.30 a. m. tomorrow, thus precluding the return of the verdicts before that time, should they be found. All the _verdicts, while separate as to each de- fendant, are to be returned at one time. ; Twelve Weeks Putting in Evidence. “How long will the jury be out? was the question asked as the jury filed out. A basis for a belief that verdicts would not be reached when court opens tomorrow and that the jurors may require & much longer time was found in the court's instructions “to carefully weigh all the evidence in the case.” It has required almost twelve weeks to introduce the evi- dence. The defendants who await the out- come include Frank M. Ryan, presi- dent of the Imternational Assoclation at Bridge and Structural Iron Work- , of which John J. McNamara, the -ld Was once secre- tary; various executive board members of that union; Herbert 8. Hockin, ac- cused as an accomplice of Ortie Mc- Manigal, another confessed dynamiter; Olaf A. Tveltmos, secrstary of the California Bnfldln‘s.'h-l;‘ires dco‘mc“d Eugene A. Clancy, San Francisco, an J. E. Munsey, Salt Lake City, Utah. The three last named are charged with promoting the Los Angeles explosion. Are Charged With Conspiracy. These men are not charged under the federal laws with personally caus- ing any explosion. They are charged with conspiracy to violate the federal laws and with aiding in an illegal transportation of dynamite and nitro- glycerine on ~assenger trains. In closing his argument to the jury, Dhmnmwey Chhul- W. th"f' again to the -r;umen of United States Semator J. W. Kern, -~ counsel for the defendants. Senator iCern had left ths city, saying he was going to Venshington. Ansther Whack at Senator Kern. “The Los Angeles Times bullding ex- plosion was called the crime of the century,” said Mr. Miller, “but the real crime of the century was this damna- ble conspiracy. It would be an ever- Jasting disgraee to our country and to our civilization if these forty oon- =pirators are not convicted. Gentiemen of the jury, a United States senator, sworn to uphold the laws of his coun- try, has, dared to stand before you im defense of these enamies of the repub- lic. You should find these conspirators gullty and put your seal of condemna. tion upon such conduct by a United States senator.” After stating the substance of the varjous offenses charged and mention- ing the nation-wide strike of the iron workers’ unfon, which, the government charged, was the motive for one hun- dred explosions on the work of con- tractors who refused to recognize the union, Judge Anderson in his instruc- tions said: Judge's Instructions to Jury. “It was not unlawful for th- llrun- tural iron workers to un- fon to which they belong. lt 1- not unlawful for the defendants to be members of that or any other labor organization. Men have the right to use thelr combi power through such organizatfons t0 advance their inter- ests in any lawful way; but they have no right to use this gowar in the viola- tion of the law. rganized labor is not on trial hers, nor is the right of labor to organize in issue, but mem- bers of labor organizations owe the same punishment for its violation as persons who are not members of such organizations. “The defendants are not on trial for causing these various explosions and the consequent loss of ltfe and prop- erty throughout the United States, shown by the evidence. They are on trial for the offenses charged in the indictment. Evidence of these explo- -Ionl, together with the facts and cir- surrounding them, were Rermmed to go in evidence before vou ecanse they tend to show the com- munity of purpose, the concert of mind and action, which is an essential in- gredient of the offenses charged, and they should be considered by you upon that iseue alone. Strike Declared In 1905, *The ‘evidence in this case shows that in August, 1905, there was a con- troversy between the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers and the American Bridge company over the open and closed shop question: that in sald month of Au- gust, 1805, the International declared a géneral strike against the American Bridge company; and that this strike has never been’ settled. If you find from the evidence that dn order to ca ry out the purposes of the Internation- al, the defendants, or two or more of them, entered into a conapiracy to de- stroy with dynamite and nitro-glycer. ine the property of the American Bridge company and other open shop concerns or the struetuw which they were erecting in various states of the unjon, and if you find that such con- spiracy to destroy such property in- cluded as a necessary step In the ac- complishment of such destruction the unlawful transportation of dynamite apd nitro-glycerine upon the vehicles of common carriers engaged at the time in the transportation of passen- xers, from a place In one state to a place or places In another or other states of the United States, and if you further find that such destruction of property was accomplished by explo- slons of dynamite and nitro-glycerine various places throughout the ‘nited States and that the dynamite and nitro-giycerine with which such losions were produced were as a atter of fact transported from state ate in suitcases and carrving cases ' the vehicles of common carriers, gaged at the time In the carrying of mgers, as averred, then you will IN JURY'S HAan‘a | m Jurors Retired to Consider Evidence Against Forty i Defendants Early Last Evening be authorized to find that a conspiracy was formed to transport dynamite and nitro-glycerine unlawfully, as charged in the indictment. lllégal Transportation Charges. Calling attention to the charges of illegal transportation, the court “You may find the defendants upon all of the counts of the ment upon which they are now upon trial, if you are satisfieds beyond reasonable doubt that the proofs jus- tify it. Or, you may find the defend- ants guilty upon any one or more of the counts of the indictment and not guilty upon the others. find any defendant guilty | or mot guilty, or you may find one or more of them guilty and the others not guilty. Before you can find any of the defendants gullty you must be satisfied of his guilt manner and form as charged in some ome of the counts of the Indictment upon which they are on trial, beyond a reasonable doubt.” As to Testimony of McManigal and Clark. Of McManigal and Edward Clark, Cinelnnati, both of whom pleaded guilty and testified for the government, the court said their testimony “should be received with caution and scruti- nized with care,” and added “The witness Willlam J. Burns,while on the witness stand, detailed a con- versation that he had with the defend- ant Hockin in which he made state- ments to FHockin about the defendant Tveitmoe having been in prison and having a prison record. Such state- ments made by Burns are not to be considered by you in any way in de- termining the guilt or Inmocence of the defendant Tveitmoe as to the charges laid in this statement.” Carefully Weigh All Evidence. Judge Anderson concluded: “Carefully weigh all the evidence in the case and from it under the rules of law which I have given you deter- mine the guilt or innocence of the de- | fendants. With you, and not with the court, rests the responsibility of find- | ing and determining the facts. The | views of the court on questions of fact are not controlling upon you. You have nothing te do with the case except to deétermine the bingle question of the #uilt or {nnocence of the defendants. It you should return a verdict of guiity the measure of punishment to be in- fiicted upon the defendants is com- mitted to the court.” Burns’ Testimony About Tveitmoe. The testimony of Burns about Tveit- moe, referred to by the court, was that Burng had numerous conversations with Hockin shortly after the Los An- geles Times explosion and that Burns related to Hockin how he expected Tveltmoe “would blow up” because he (Burns) had obtained a photograph of Tveitmoe In the garb of a Minnesota penitentiary prisoner and had pub- lished it in a San Francisco ne paper. Jury's Lights Out at Midnight. Lights on the third floor of the fed- eral building, where the jurors are quartered in locked rooms, indicated that they had deliberated until a late bour, but at midnight the lights were out. Extra guards were placed at the approaches to the jury room. District Attorney Miller at midnight said he belleved verdicts would be re- turned tomorrow. — DEATH PENALTY ASKED FOR SLAYER OF HUSBAND.

London, Dec. 26.—Both the Turks and the Balkan allies are standing by their guns on the peace terms. Both declare that it is impossible to recede from their positions. those who think they going on behind the scenes still believe that the probabili- of the conclusion of peace are greater than of the resumption of the conflict. Turks Exchange Cipher Despatches. The exchange of cipher 'despatches between the administration at Con- stantinople and Rechad Pasha con- tinues, but the chief of the Turkish plenipotentiaries declines to divulge the nature of the reply which he will present to the allies on Saturday when the conference reassembles at St James' palace. It is understood that this will be already outlined with the additional promise that Turkey will apply to the Huropean territories re- maining to her the reforms which Count Von Berchthold, the Austro- Hurgarian foreign minister, proposed before the war. “Allies’ Terms Are Absurd.” “While I cannot discuss the reply of the Ottoman government,” said Richad Pasha tonight, “nothing prevents me from saying that the terms the allies have proposed are simply absurd. They have produced this impression wherever heard, even outside of Turk- ish circles. It was never known that after the conclusion of an armistice one belligerent party could ask the other to cede territories bravely de- fended and still resisting with hero- ism. Turks as Humanitarians. “Why should we do this, especlally when the Bulgarians had three re- verses at our hands just before the armistice, while the Greeks, who com- tinned to fight, were defeated both em land around Janina and at sea off the Dardanelleg? “Turkey was induced to accent am armistice only on the advices of the powers, in order to avoid useless car- nage on poth sides. The same humani- tarian reasons led the Ottoman gov- ernment to ask for the revictualling of the besieged towns and might induce the government to vield certain com- ditions for the sake of peace. But there is a limit which the allies have surpassed.” “Turkey's Talk Laughable” The allies, on the other hand, as- serted that the armistice was arranged to give Turkes an opportunity of mak- ing peace terms without suffering fur- ther Josses in the field, and they char. acterized Turkey's talk of keeping Amumm% Janina and Scutari and regaining Baloniki as simply laughable, General Danglis, the Greek chief of general staff, sald: “Let them come and take Baloniki if they can. Even the dust of our an- clent heroes would rise up to defend our rights.” London, Dec. 2 The Saloniki cor- respondent of the Jewish Chronicle, ia recording the assassination of twe Jewish merchants in the streets om Dec. 23, eays that this was the crown- ing act of a series of attacks which remain unpunished. The correspondent adds that consternation prevalls among the Jewish communlty SUFFRAGETTES GREETED BY A PYROTECHNICAL DISPLAY, Enthusiast Discharges Gun Dangee- ously Near Marchers. Btoekport Center, N. Y. Dec. 36.— The suffragette army which is march- ing to Albany to carry a secret mes- sage to Governer-elect Sulzer reached here this afternoon at 1 o'clock after a quick, easy march of five miles from Hudson. The greetings received from { townfolk of Stockport were of rather an explosive and startling character. One enthusiastic citizen, without the least warning, fired his shotgun very near the marching pilgrims, causing every member of the band to jump in terror. ‘“‘Surgeon” Dock narrowly es- caped injury from a skyrocket which was set off to greet the arriving suf- fragettes. It took some time for the piigrims to realize that the pyrotech= nical display was meant as a friendly welcome. Some of the marchers were in such fine physical trim that they spent the rest of the afternoon in coasting down nearby hills on sleds borrowed from the Stockport small boys. Around & huge bonfire tonight extemporaneov speeches were made and debates ¢ the suffrage movement conducted, The army will cover the remaining twenty-seven miles to Albany in easy marches of five and ten miles a day, unless another forced march should be called for by “General” Rosalie Jenes.
