Plot to murder J P Morgan thwarted by German agent
An international sensation emerges as Harry Newton, a former Wuntton factory foreman, is arrested in Tombs court for conspiring to kill financier J Pierpont Morgan. The plan allegedly involved German-American operatives posing as Berlin officials, offering $10,000 to Newton and arranging an assassination using a vehicle and a bomb. Investigators, including Kellie Calley and Henry Sempra, traced meetings at Bowery and Canal Street, detailing meetings with Newton who claimed loyalty to Germany. The case, tied to German interests and a claimed bomb plot, leads to further inquiries and scheduled hearings in April.
