Los Angeles Times Bombing
The City of Los Angeles hired Burns to catch the bombers of the Los Angeles Times building on October 1, 1910. Burns's son Raymond and police officers from the Detroit and Chicago police departments arrested Jim McNamara and associate Ortie McManigal on April 14, 1911 in Detroit. John McNamara was arrested later that month in Indianapolis, Indiana. Extradited to Los Angeles, the brothers plead guilty to murder in the bombing.
