Who Helped McManigal in the Dynamite Plot Network
Indianapolis, Ind. Jan. 10. The most important evidence yet obtained in the government’s dynamite conspiracy probe is believed to have been presented to the federal grand jury naming Ortie McManigal his father and others. The investigation focuses on who paid McManigal for the jobs and who guided him to towns and property he blew up, while McManigal says he does not recognize the men from headquarters. The McNamaras were not present at explosions, and investigators press the phase linking unidentified organizers to the bombings.
