Probe Reveals Dynamiting of Non-Union House Project
William Munley testified before a Senate inquiry that he dynamited a Scranton nonunion house project in 1954 on a dare and without union orders. He said Paul Bradshaw of the Teamsters urged the action but he did not discuss it with higher union leaders. Bradshaw, a key witness, has been convicted of felonious dynamite possession but claims he is taking the rap for others. Manley and three others pleaded guilty in state court and were released after nine months. Habshman invoked the Fifth Amendment during questioning, facing contempt proceedings after refusing to answer beyond name and address. Helen Canfield, Bradshaw’s friend, recounted secretly recorded conversations she and Bradshaw turned over to the Scranton district attorney, claiming the material could exonerate Bradshaw.
