On April 12, 1932, a bomb exploded at the Paradise Cleaning and Dyeing plant in Denver after the firm declined to join a "protective association," the United Press reported.
Joseph Bitman, part-owner, told police he received threats, the UP said.
The bomb detonated at the rear of the business at 1753 South Broadway, where gasoline was stored, shortly after midnight and the blast was heard across South Denver, the Rocky Mountain News reported.
Jerome Weissman, 1070 Columbine Street, the purported organizer of the protective association, was questioned by Denver police Sergeant William J. Armstrong and released, the News said.
The threats were by mail, the News said.
Firefighting was directed District Chief Clarence Hawkins, the News said.
