Referring to the defendants who were transtferrad from the Muncie, Ind. plant of Durham to Fort Way tic. and two defendant* who had served prison term* at Michigan City, Ind.. Keating said: "The conspirators moved In from Muncie, virtually «n masse, or they came down from the penitentiary at Michigan City and took over the plant. "In 29 short months they undertook to substitute thoir judgment, to push aside the safety factor, and to add extra hazard* to the men in our armed f<»rces in < rder to get the stuff through and pour that ll4.ooo,tutu into the pockets of the treasurer of the Durham Corp." Phil McNagny, attorney for the corporation, told the court that there was "no agreement" between the defendants and "no jwoof of conspiracy " * "The only proof is founded on suspicion," McNagney said, adding that the men brought to Fort Wayne from Muncie were moved because ot their experience.
