Bomb plot tale turns on Seattle harbor scare
Customs agents probed an alleged plan to blow up ships in American ports as an odd case unfolded in Seattle. A suitcase tied to a railroad tie washed ashore near the Hi yo Maru, one man died, another remained jailed, and a Canadian, George Partridge, claimed Orientals hired him and a Vancouver teacher to dynamite vessels. Forsyth drowned, and a coroner ruled accidental death. Harbor officials warned ships and police rushed to the pier as a tense, unresolved mystery emerged.
