They were all acquitted except Lee Blue
Bombing. In 1930, theaters in the area had a labor dispute with the union over hiring non-union staff. Two union projectionists blew up the rear of Wealthy Theatre with dynamite on March 19. Weeks earlier, explosions also took place at two other Grand Rapids theatres, with bombs planted in their ticket offices.
Just after 4:40 a.m. on March 17, 1930, an explosion at the Regent Theater echoed through the streets of the city, an event that was determined to cause more than $5,000 worth of damage.
