added, fearing other explosions,
but when none followed and he
realized be wasn’t on fire he went
back to the loading ramp to help
clear up the mesa.
"I saw fragments they collected
of what blew up," he said. "It
looked to me like a screw socket
for a light bulb, and some kind
of bulb seemed screwed into the
socket. They also found a battery
somewhere that had been part of
the bomb."
Zarza, In charge of the guarded
investigation, said he could not re-
veal the Intended recipient or the
sender as it "might hinder the in-
vestigation.”
Bomb Crudely Wrapped
The crude bomb was wrapped to
brown paper and twine and placed
to a shoe box.
Zarza said the bomb was made
with a one-cell battery as detona-
tor. rigged to go off when the box
was opened.
About 40 letters were destroyed,
but Zarza said, "we will deliver
the good mall, although it may not
be legible to some cases.”
“We found remains of a dry cell
battery, a light bulb and fragments
of glass,” be said. "The glass may
have come from a bottle which
contained nitro-giycerine."
