"The existence of a remarkable
document, setting forth in its ninety
closely typewritten pages, the grew
some story of how, it is alleged, the
lives of 112 men were whiffed out,
property worth more than $3,500,
000 destroyed, how archplotters, out
rivaling the hideous Borgia of his
tory in their thirst for blood, sat in
secret council and condemned to
death innocent workingmen became
public recently.
"It is the story told by Ortle Mc
Manigal, the structural iron worker,
arrested with John J. McNamara, of
Indianapolis, secretary of the Inter
national Association of Bridge Struc
tural and Iron Workers, and his
brother, James W. McNamara. The
story was told by McManigal as he
sat in a bedroom in the home of
City Detective William H. Reed,
9034 Commercial avenue, South Chi
cago, on the night of April 13. He
started talking at midnight, and it
was breakfast time when he finished.
"Seated in the bedroom were Wil
liam J. Burns, head of the detective
agency responsible for''tho alleged
dynamiters' capture; Detective Reed,
several operatives from the Burns
agency and an official stenographer
of the police department. In an ad
joining room "Jim" McNamara was
sleeping, not knowing that his con
federate in crime was telling a story
of crime. The little group in tho
bedroom sat awe-stricken held spell
bound by the horror of McManigal's
tale."
Representative Berger, the nodal
1st member of the house of repre
sentatives, introduced a resolution
providing for an invGHHtrntlnn of the
arrest and extradition of these labor
leaders. Labor unions throughout
the country are raising funds for tho
defense of theee men.
