San Francisco Chronicle, July 22, 1916

The route of the Preparedness Day parade, held in anticipation of the United States entry into WWI. A suitcase bomb, placed along the route, killed 10 and injured an additional 40 persons. The bomb was believed to be placed by two labor bosses, who were sentenced to death, later commuted to life in prison and finally pardoned, when later investigation showed much of the testimony during the trial to be falsified. 

Wall Street bombing, September 16, 1920

Thirty-eight people and one horse were killed, while another hundred and forty-three were injured. The bombing was believed to be the work of the Italian Galleanist anarchists, attempting to strike back for the arrests of Sacco and Venzetti, alleged Italian anarchists who had indicted for robbery and murder two days prior to the bombing, although this was never proven conclusively. Other suspects included the IWW, the Union of Russian Workers, and, more vaguely, communists in general.
