24 April 1918: On the last day of the Hindu-German Conspiracy Trial, Ghadar Party president Ram Chandra was assassinated by fellow defendant Ram Singh; the conspiracy involved German intrigues with Indian & Irish nationalists, gunrunning (the Annie Larsen Affair), & the tension 'twixt America's alliance with the British Empire & Americans' sympathy for Indian independence from the British Raj.
Lest we forget.
