Lexington Avenue explosion
The Lexington Avenue explosion was the July 4, 1914 explosion of a terrorist bomb in an apartment at 1626 Lexington Avenue in New York City, killing four people and injuring dozens. A large quantity of dynamite, which was believed was being made into a bomb to blow up John D. Rockefeller's Tarrytown home, exploded prematurely at a new seven-story model tenement. The bomb intended for Rockefeller had exploded prematurely at Berger's apartment, killing 3 conspirators and another renter.
==The conspirators==
In July 1914, two members of the Lettish section of the Anarchist Black Cross, Charles Berg and Carl Hanson, began collecting dynamite they had obtained from Russia. Plotting with them was Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) member Arthur Caron. They stored the dynamite at the apartment of another Anarchist Black Cross member, Louise Berger. Berger was an editor of Emma Goldman's ''Mother Earth'' magazine. Several meetings were held at the Ferrer Center, where they devised a plan in which Caron, Berg, and Hanson were to plant a bomb at John D. Rockefeller's home in Tarrytown, New York.〔Paul Avrich, ''The Anarchist Background'', Princeton: Princeton University Press (1991)〕〔Paul Avrich, ''Anarchist Voices: An Oral History of Anarchism in America'', Princeton: Princeton University Press (1996)〕
According to later accounts, the three men, along with Alexander Berkman and Charles Plunkett, met at the Ferrer Center at least twice to discuss the plot. Charles Plunkett, a party to the conspiracy, later stated that Berkman chose to remain behind the scenes rather than take an active role in the bombing due to his being on probation for the attempted murder of Henry Clay Frick. Berkman later denied any involvement or knowledge of the plan, a denial supported by some who knew him, and rejected by others. Plunkett also claimed that neither Rockefeller nor his house were intended to be the target of the bomb, and that its detonation in Tarrytown would be merely a "gesture of protest."〔〔
