Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Ernest Hemingway was a writer, not an attorney general.
• A. Mitchell Palmer was the U.S. Attorney General in 1919, and his home was bombed, leading to the Palmer Raids against anarchists and communists.
• J. Edgar Hoover was the first FBI Director, not the attorney general in 1919.
• John Scopes was involved in the Scopes Monkey Trial, not related to this event.

Answer:

B. A. Mitchell Palmer
