In a shocking revelation, notorious detective William Burns has made a bombshell statement at the American Bankers Association in New Orleans. Last week, Burns, famous for cracking the case against the McNamaras, accused labor organizations of funding their defense with a whopping $1,000,000. This extraordinary claim was made in a speech where Burns also alleged that these organizations had offered substantial sums to key witnesses to perjure themselves in the trial. But the witnesses, refusing to be swayed, were met with the ultimate threat: death if they revealed what they knew.
