Former Indianapolis Mayor Linked to Dynamite Plot Probe
Detective William J. Burns accused ex mayor Charles A. Bookwalter of negligence for not prosecuting John J. McNamara two years ago based on evidence in his possession related to dynamite explosions. Burns said Bookwalter dropped the inquiry as he left office and later joined a printing firm tied to labor unions, a firm allegedly of interest to Samuel Gompers and other labor leaders. Bookwalter denied Gompers’ involvement but admitted telling labor leaders of the guilt of McNamara and the Iron Workers. The federal grand jury resumed its probe into a national dynamiting plot connected to the Von Spreckelsen explosions.
