POLICE TRACE
BOMBER

CAPE CHARLES, Va, July as.
Horribly mutilated and in agoniz-
ing pain, Mrs. Curry Thomas to-
day made q desperate attempt to
aid police in their search for the
sender Of the wedding present"
bomb that brought death to her
husband two days ago.
Mrs. Thomas. her left hand
blown off, her eye blinded, her
left side, torn by the explosion,
told police she heard q ticking
sound like that Of a clock In the
, package she and Thomas received
ct the pOStoffice, during their
ride home.
Jealousy Motive
After questioning her in Me
mortal Hospital at Nassawadox.
postal inspectors turned to cities
farther south in their inVeStiga-
ton, reiterating their belief that
jealousy Of q former sutton over
Mrs. Thomas marriage q month
ago was the motive of the crime.
Inspectors G. n. Burrows and
B. D. webb turned to local author
tiles at HillSville and Galax, Va,
and Mt. Airy, N. c., for aid in in
vestigation Of the mysterious pack
age that exploded as the couple
opened it, believing it q wedding
present.
Mrs. Thomas, o divorce, lived
at HillSville before she moved to
Cape Charles several months ago,
and investigators are working on
the theory that q jealous lover
there may have sought revenge.
Mouse Trap Bomb
John Salmond, former husband
of Mrs. Thomas, Is q resident OF
Galax. and. the injured woman
once worked as q dentists as
Sistant at Mt. Airy. :.
Only a few seconds after she
noticed the ticking noise from
the package, Mrs. Thomas told
Burrows and Webb, she and
her husband opened the parcel in
the car in front Of their home.
AS the lid was lifted. q mouse.
trap" spring was released, and the
resulting explosion hurtled the
torn body Of Thomas through the
top Of the automobile.
The package, Mrs. Thomas said,
carried the name '"F. C. Thomas,
Richmond, Va" in the upper
left-hand corner. She said she
knew of no one by that name.
although a brother-in-law, Jesse
Thomas. lives in Richmond. Postal
authorities here said they at
tached little importance to the in
scription.
Fragments of an aSh-like sub
stance found in the wrecked car
yesterday have not been iden-
titled, but officers said they be-
lieved them part Of the package
