Q. Where did you set the first grip? A. By the Peabody plant (blown up on June 20, 1915).
Q. Where did you put the other suitcase? A. Then I walked down the Walkerville road to the Armories at Windsor, and carried the suitcase.

Q. Did you place this suitcase containing the dynamite bomb at the armory in a proper place to explode and do any damage? A. Yes.
Q. Was it properly connected so that the cap would explode and strike the dynamite? A. I fixed it so that it would not.
Q. Did you deliberately fix this bomb that you took to the Armories so that it would not explode? A. Yes.
Q. Why did you do that? A. I knew that the suitcase contained thirty sticks of dynamite and if exploded would blow up the Armories and all the ammunition and kill every man in it.

Concerning the negotiations, van Koolbergen made this statement:
