JUSTICE OF UNION’S
FIGHT NOT AT ISSUE.
SAYS GOVERNMENT
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. IS. After first
Informing the jury of the discharge of the
defendant. Clarence E Dowd, of Roches
ter, Judge A. B Anderson today ordered
the government to begin the opening ar
guments against the dynamite conspiracy
case.
Special District Attorney Noel opened
for the government Noel began with a
general summary of the conspiracy from
its inception and followed by connecting
the \arioub defendants therewith.
“We are not to consider whether this
fight of these men is just or unjust, but
whether the laws of the country have
been violated,” began Mr. Noel. “This
case Is being tried here because the arm
of justice failed tn different localities.
“There has never been such an impor
tant case tried tn history.”
Beginning with the first, explosion,
caused by McManigal in Detroit, June 25,
1907, he continued through the long list
of depredations confessed to by a dyna
miter-informer.
“There were 33 explosions on work of
contractors who were not members of the
National Erectors’ association and never
had any chance to join it,” said Noel,
“and so you see this conspiracy was not
alone dirt <.-ted against the National Erect
ors’ association
Rumors nf a plot to blow up th? Fed
eral building caused considerable sup
pressed excitement this forenoon while
the trial vas in progress.
The reports were started by a woman
telephoning to the Graves Detective
agency, .filing them that such a plot
was on foot.

ker fostered vicious legislation." “I have
printed a letter tn which Mr. Archbold
calls Senator Foraker’s special atten
tion io a measure pending in the Ohio
legislature, and directs him to oppose
it," and "I am doing this for the pub
lic good.”
No Order From
Archbold, He Says.
"No letter that has been read can
possibly be construed as an order di
recting me to do anything,” said Fora
ker.
The witnes: then added that Hearst's
meeting in Columbus, Ohio —the time
when he was supposed to have seemed
the letters—was September 11, 1908. He
said that Hearst, in his speech that
night, referred to a letter from John D
Archbold urging Foraker to support the
nomination of Judge Burkett, then a
candidate for the supreme court of
Ohio.
“Judge Burkett and I," said Foraker,
"were dose personal friends, and I
knew him to be a man of the highest
integrity. I would have supported him
whether or not I had received a letter
from Mr. Archbold. Therefore, his let
ter had no weight with me.”
Why the Ohio
Bills Were Held Up.
Taking up the three Archbold letters
relating to bills pending in the Ohio
legislature. Senator Foraker said these
were introduced in the state legislature
by A. E. Price, chairman of the com
mittee on the judiciary in 191)0. At tht
subsequent session of the legislature
they were materially amended and
passed and still remain on the statute
books. The amendment made them
more objectionable to the corporation,
lie said.
Senator Foraker produced a lette.
written by Price to the late Judge Wil
liam 11. Webb, of Athens. Ohio, who
had made some inquiry regarding tin
matter, and which letter, he said, ex
plained it.
Price wrote that the bills were pie
pared by ex-Governor Nash, then the
executive of Ohio, and introduced by
him (Price), embodying Nash's ideas
on corporate legislation. The reason
they were not passed at the 1900 ses
sion of the legislature was because the
national administration at Washington
feared their passage would jeopardize
the electorate vote of Ohio. According
to Price's letter, at no time had
Foraker communicated with him
regarding the measure. but that
Governor Nash had said that Senator
Hanna had counseled him to abandon
the bill at that ®ess>' >n: that Iw (Han
ns' had conferred with Foraker about
the matter and that Foraker concurred
in Ids views. Two years later the bill
was amended and passed.
Foraker said he did not recall having
consulted with Hanna about the bill,
but tn view of this statement he pre
sumed that he had concurred with
Hanna.
Foraker also read a letter from M.
W. UHsici;, on. of Senator Hanna's

[LECTION CASE
OP AT AUGUSTA
AHGVSTA, GA., Dec. 18.—Charging the
Hayne partisans with fraud in the may
oralty election here «»n December 4, the
contested election case brought by Dr.
I. 11. Littleton, defeated candidate for
mayor, was begun in the superior court
room here today before Ordinary A. R.
Walton. The Interest which has kpen
shown from the first ’n the outcome of
the election and the probabilty of its
being successfully contested brought forth
a large crowd to witness the hearing.
Boykin Wright, representing L. C.
hayne, the successful candidate, began
the argument. lie contended that the
| result of the lection was declared De
| cember * and the petitioned, filed Decern
! ber 10. was one day too late.
He also argued that the prayer in the
amendment, asking the court to take
charge of the ballot box, was a new
procedure, and was not filed within the
five-day limit allowed by the statutes.
He asked the dismissal of this amend
ment.
Mr Wright went further to show the
Authority given for the opening and ex
amining of the ballot boxes and the
sanctity and inviolability of the freeman’s
vote. He argued that ti e examination of
the ballot boxes would be unconstitu
tional and without authority. Other
points in favor of the contestee were ar
gued by Mr. Wright during the sitting,
which adjourned at 2 o’clock this after
noon.
The heading will be resumed at 10
o’clcck tomorrow morning.
