Hotel blast in Washington shocks guests and kills man
A dynamite explosion at the Golden Eagle hotel in Washington on September 25 killed Frank McKie, who then died by his own hand. Twenty to thirty guests were awakened by the blast. Louis Brandt and his wife were injured. McKie, once in love with Sophie Brandt, had financial losses tied to horse racing. Investigators report dynamite found in McKie's trunk and details hint at personal motive. London papers later misreported an assassination link to Roosevelt.
