Woman Killed by Bomb in Automobile in West Texas

A nitroglycerine bomb attached to the starter of Arch ite ct Harry E. Weaver’s car killed his wife, Mrs. 52, in SAN ANGEL. The blast shattered windows, sent car debris blocks away, and prompted state DPS to inspect other Weaver vehicles while the district attorney prepared grand jury evidence. Separately, jail terms and suspended sentences were handed to several for drunkenness in People's Night Court, and an emergency landing of a TWA plane occurred near Philipsburg after a reported heater-fire indication.
