Title	Bomb case "oak tree"
Collection ID	Herald Examiner Collection
Location/Accession	HE box 524-B Harry Raymond Bomb Case
Date	1938
Physical Description	1 photograph :b&w
Description	It was just a little "acorn" that $2,990 political debt suit filed by Ralph Gray. And yet in a short time it has grown into the Harry Raymond bombing case, the mightiest "oak tree" of political sensations that Los Angeles has known in years, a case in which thousands upon thousands of dollars are being spent upon investigations and prosecutions and in which all sorts of dark charges are being hinted. The "acorn" was the $2,990 judgment won by Ralph Gray from Harry Munson, Mayor Shaw-appointed former Police Commissioner, for whom Gray worked in the first Shaw campaign. Harry Raymond became interested in helping Gray collect the money and seeing where Munson got asserted funds in the Shaw campaign. The prosecution charges the police secret "spy squad" was told to watch Raymond because of the Munson case and it further charges that Earle Kynette, chief of the squad, bombed Raymond to keep him quiet about Munson's asserted political collections. Photo date: April 29, 1938.
