Justice on Canal Zone: Dynamite Murder Convictions
Eighteen days after a Barbadian named Wil Blackett was killed in the Canal Zone, Daniel McCloud and two others were tried and convicted of murder. The prosecutor called the act the most dastardly crime ever committed there. The assailants, who stole dynamite and caps, attacked the watchman, killing him, then fled with the loot. Both defense and prosecution faced intense local emotion as three men were sentenced to death.
