YES The circumstances of Chaplain Allensworth's death are mysterious and he could have been the victim of foul play. There were a lot of people who didn't want Allensworth to succeed.
Cornelius "Ed" Pope
Initiated the drive to restore Allensworth
NO It's easy to imagine anyone absentmindedly stepping off of a streetcar in L.A., directly into the path of the 1914 traffic.
