Of ( 1 !. persons on Burns Jells Detailed Story of How He Followed Trail Toledo, April 27. William J. Burns, who caused the arrest of John J, McNamara, the secretary-treasurer bis brother, James W. McNamara, and Ortio E. McManigal, members ofJ the International, structurnal iron workers' union, baa told the first de tailed story of how he followed the amazing trail of dynamite and nitro glycerine outrages, extending from Los Angeles to Springfield, Mass; Pittsburg, New York, Hoboken, Mil waukee, Peoria, and Buffalo. After continued Investigations at TiQln, Ohio and in this city. Burns said, as bo left for CoiuinbiiB and In dianapolis, that tbe case against the two McNamara and McManigal was established by irrefutable evidence He asserted that iutuitlon led to the arrests, and described .in detail how be followed the suspects, "The case against tbe three men I now under arrest is legally complete" similarity of the clocks, copper wire, said Burns. "Other will be involvand other apparatus, furnished other od. but the demands of justice will; strong clues.

'"This is tbe most astounding, Wide spread, most cold-blooded and most disastrous conspiracy to destroy prop erty (and human lives ever exposed in the I'nlted States. ! can assure all that only the etorn demands of justice and the good of tbe public has guided me in pointing the finger of condemnation at these labor leaders. .Denies iomM'r's Ktory. - -"I beg the people to accept my as surance that tbe statement of Presi dent Samuel Gompers, of the Amerl- can federation of labor, that the pick-! ing out of these men has been ppart course, so as not to be recognized; of an attempt to assaasinafo union 'eamining hotel registers . visiting labor' is absolutely untrue and un-1 dynamite and nitro-glycerine plants, fact will convince all honest union i clo?k makers and wire factories, at labor men that these men are guilty. tending meetings of labor unions, and .unworthy of sympathy." keeping watch on supposedly doomed When asked as to the nature andjP,aDt- factories and mills; getting evidence against the accused men specimen of handwriting, and con- other tban that already disclosed. 1 Burns said: "There Is such a lot ! threatened manufacturer in many of evidence that It 1 difficult tor B.itie..,. . thu far away from my office and the' 1 "Succesa won by working and records to tell Just where to begin in f iting W'hen we were convinced enumerating the case. .

I can prove that tbey left one dynamite dres suit case in the package room of the Union railroad depot in thla city. I can prove that tbe dresa suit case contained dynamite. I can establsh the fact that these two men had a band In the theft of dynamite from the France quarries at Blqomviile, Ohio, and I can prove that it was just that brand of dyna mite that was afterward stored In the union labor headquarters build ing In Jones' stable In Indianapolis and in the abed of McManigal' father in Tiffin. . . Keesi With Dynamite. I can prove that they were actual ly teen carrying package of dyna mite in tbe neighborhood of the Llew ellyn Iron works at Los Angeles and tbe plaut at the Western Fuel com pany at Milwaukee. I can prove by handwriting that James W. McNamara, using tba name of Jamea II. Itryce, registered In hotel In various cities at about tbe time of the explosions- I ran also prove that 1 Jamc W. McNamara purchased the piano box In which was bidden several hundred pounds of dynamite found hidden In 'a piano box In the Jonc stable at Indianap olis. - ... ... ,. . Another Important plcc of evi dence Is tbt I have traced purchases of nitroglycerine by James W. Mc Namara w hen going under tbe -name of J. B. McGraw. We have a tracing of bf handwriting taken from the register vi the Peoria hotel, at Proria Illinois. "We have found thst thla ssme man purchased Sou quarts of nltro- giycoriue from a. manufacturer at Portland, lud., just before Ihe explo sion which destroyed a lot of Mc CUbtock, Marshall ft IV. structural utm at Peoria. "One charge of th quantity of the nllro-glyre rine used failed to explode and we ran Identify this aa part tf the nliro-Klyicrlne bought by Mc Namara from the manufacturer at Portland. "The nltro-glyceritie had clock and battery attached for the purpose of bringing about tbe explosion. It was a No. 3 dry battery with an or dinary fid-cent alarm clock. It was attached to a board with st length of copper of the gusge and quality I have already Indicated. "Thl brand of . Hiiro-glycerine, this very make of alarm clock, thia precise kind of copper wire, thia com- bined arrangement, Is precisely the same as used In the Los Angeles ex plosion and lnothr outrage of which these men are accused. "Th record seised in the office and af of the association of Bridge and Structural Workers, at Indlsn spoils Contain entries of large sums of money paid to James W. Me.N'a mara and McManigal, and other docu ment showing that John 3. McNam era was the directing genius of th conspiracy ani that the other two rere rn embers of the wro-cklng crew I am snid fro ''H-watlon iln my possession the dynamiters in tended to blow up several place in iidetrolt and Toledd, and that plans for this work were under way at the timq of their arrest . "You ask me to toll the secret of the method by which I and my men solved the mystery of this succession of astounding crimes after the Pink erton agency bad worked on it for months without a glimmer of suc cess. "Well, I can only say that the so lution of the mystery was due In part to an intuition. , 'After working a long time on the Peoria, Los Angeles, Milwaukee and American Bridge company cases It came to me suddenly that all or these crimes were ' part of a labor war against certain firm in the structural iron business. -. '.'The establishing of the surprising colncideuces in . the kind of nitro- glycerine and dynamite used, In the pects day and night for months In succession, never leaving them; never tiring, never losing hope, allowing them, it is true, to go their way even when they saw them with bags and packages of dynamite In their pos- session because they wanted to get stiil more dynamite evidence. , , . , Mast of Kviilence. ' "The public can form no Idea of the immense amount of evidence gathered against these men by my agents, who slept for scores of days and nights at tbe same hotels with tnem,. followed them from place to P'ace, relieving one ' another, of icring witn the police and with cape, we made our coup. How suc cessful it was and rich In tangible discoveries the events of the last few- days, speak more eloquently than I can possibly do. "I want to deny emphatically tbe story that McManigal has made a formal confession and baa been grant ed or promised immunity because of revelations he Is said to have made. "Xo Third Degree." "It 1 true that after tbelr arrest I had an Interview with McNamara and McManigal at Detective Reed's home in South Chicago, but I did not use any third degree methods. I de spise such coarse trickery as are re sorted to by tbe police of som cities. I did cot need any confession from McManigal to fix guilt upon him or tbe otber two, and I was not pre pared to offer him Immunity, even if I had had the authority to do so. "He made some very striking ad missions to me In the course of our conversation; and these will prove important in the prosecution of tbe case against the three men, but I am Informed that the story of his having made a formal confession of ninety psges or any otber number of pages Is entirely untrue. "I may say that i expect that cer tain miscalled representatives of or ganised labor wilt try to persuade the public that thl part of a plot gotten up by myself and others to put or- ssnltd labor In a false light and to strike at men having tbe confidence of the working; people. Nothing could be further from the truth. "It may not b generally known, but It Is a fact, that during the course of my Investigation of the scores of dynamiting outrages the office of the (turns detective agency, were broken open, cabinets were rifled and many prtpers were scattered around In an effort to find some of the reports bearing on these rasca but the thieves failed in their quest, and all the rec ords and proofs are lntac,t."

Knapp, United State navy, as trustee, against the govern ment for royalties be claim is due bim for a gas injector now in use in the navy to prevent accidents, known in naval circles as "flarebacks." . . This interest- the naval officers are taking in the case is largely due to tbe fact that the government sets up as one of its defenses that the in vention was simply work iu the' line of duty, There ere pther defenses set up by Jbe government, as prior Invention and anticipation, but the first defense Is tbe ono most eagerly watched. Captain Knapp bad inter ested with ihim in tho Invention Lieut- Frederick L Sawyer,- United States navy, and George W. . Dunn,, a master mechanic In the Washing ton navy yard.
