City Man Admits Bombs As Practical Joke
Gerald Hempfner 22 admits placing two homemade bombs in local Catholic churches as a Christmas prank. He said the plan was to mail them to Charles Clark of Ettrick Wisconsin. Police arrested him after lengthy La Crosse detective bureau questioning and a staged explosion outside the city. The bombs were made from charcoal sulphur and potassium nitrate and wrapped in gift paper. One bomb was left at St James Catholic church and a second at Holy Trinity church. A snowdrift later contained the unexploded device. Hempfner is held pending arraignment with no immediate federal charges planned.
