Says Latest Bomb
hroWn Was Jesse
Binga S OUn Fault

The 7Il bombing OF Jesse Binga'
home at 5922 South Park Blvd, Is the
fault OF no other person than Jesse
Bnga linn ii. according to William
+. Metal 6r2 Bowen Ave. former
city policeman. employed by the bank
c- to watch bis home.
I'm an exclusive interview with this
paper Mccall stated that he warned
Binga repeatedly that his home was in
danger of being bombed. and that
under the circumstances which he was
compelled to watch il, a bombing could
not be prevented
Mccall SAYS that he had been en-
ployed to watch the Binga home for
several months, when Binga concluded
that he was not doing enough work for
the money he was receiving. Binga
then ordered him 10 wash his automo-
biIcS and wet his lawn in addition to
watching the house.
He also says that Binga failed or
neglected to have him sworn in as a
special deputy or special policeman.
aud that he could have been arrested
al any time for carrying weapons.
This IN spite OF the fact that Mccall
repeatedly asked Binga to clothe him
with proper authority.
According to McCall's story he
should have been given another man
to watch the rear OF the house while
he watched the front. In spite of this
he was required to do all the watching
in addition to performing the work OF
house-boy
The bombers took advantage OF this
situation. according to Mccall, and on
the night of the bombing, lurcd him
to the rear OF the premises, while their
confcderates hurled the bomb from the
front.
In spite OF this, Mccall says that
Bnga placed the whole blame for the
bombing on his shoulders
