Murder Plot Aims at Ironworker Death in New York
Police investigate the shooting death of Peter Conroy found in a balloon at 1869 Madison Avenue. Three men, including Michiel Collins remanded to the Tombs, are held as suspects while John Kelly and Philip Zimmerman remain in custody. A book issued by the National Association of Bridge and Structural Ironworkers bearing John J. McNamara’s signature is found on the body, prompting questions about an inner circle and possible threats to silence disclosures. A telegram from Walter Drew seeks to determine if Conroy’s murder ties to secret ties with the McNamaras and a nationwide fear of revealing the group’s secrets.
