“Believe Plot Nipped To Dynamite Frood,” Toronto Star. November 29, 1930. Page 03. ---- Finlander Under Arrest at Sudbury - Crown Asks Special Instructions ---- Copper Cliff, Nov. 28. - What is believed to be a plot to dynamite the Froud mine was frustrated here yesterday when H. Ekalm, 40, married, Finlander living on Burton St. Sudbury was placed under arrest. Had it materialized, it is said, the plot would have blown miners in the immediate vicinity to atoms and would have endangered the lives of all miners on the 2,400 foot level.
Ekalm was employed as a driller. About ten minutes before his shift concluded, it is alleged that he was seen by three fellow workmen, putting spikes in the tamping. The cartridge would have been used later in the day when Ekalm was at his home.
The accused was brought before Magistrate Stoddard last night and was remanded in custody without plea.
