DYNAMITE OUTRAGES

ARREST OF A CONSPIRATOR

HUGE DYNAMITE PLOT., NEW YORK, Oct. 3. A man named George Davis has been arested and charged with dynamiting a Newhav,en railroad bridge during the labour dynamiting campaign throughout the United States in 1911. Davis is alleged to have conspired with the McNamaras to wreck other railroad structures in pursuance of the campaign of terrorism planned by the Bridge and Structural Ironworkers' Union. Davis has made a confession of dynamiting, and this has caused the arrest of Harry Jones, the Indianopolis secretary to the Ironworkers' Union. It is understood that the confession also discloses the names of the men told off to kill Detective Burns and others engaged in tracking the dynamiters. Davis declares that the dynamite conspiracy still exists, though it has become inoperative through the measures taken to imprison the ringleaders. A gigantic scheme was planned while the McNamaras were imprisoned to destroy buildings in New I York, St. Louis,. San Francisco, and Oklahama in order to create the I impression that the McNamaras were not responsible for the dynamitings with which they were charged.
