Frenchman Sees Global Plot Behind Wall Street Bomb
Baron Antonia de Maudat Graney, a French industrialist and diplomat, argues Wall Street bombing is not the act of a lone anarchist. He cites letters warning officials and notes from New York and Milwaukee, saying international conspiracies link Paris, Genoa, and Chicago. He warns against socialist papers and believes France’s economic recovery will involve Brest becoming a major intercontinental port. A separate Chicago note mentions two days of fires at White Sox Park causing about $1,000 in damage.
