The Lexington Avenue bombing was an accidental bombing in a New York City apartment that occurred in 1914, killing four and injuring dozens. The Anarchist Red Cross had planned to use the bomb as retaliation to John D. Rockefeller for the Ludlow massacre. However, it exploded prematurely before the attack could occur. The dead were anarchists Arthur Caron, Charles Berg, Carl Hanson, and their roommate Marie Chavez, who apparently was not aware of the plot.
