BANNER TO FACE
POSTAL CHARGES
W. P. A. Foreman’* Case in Con
ftection With Bomb Slaying
Dropped in Virginia.
Bf the Associated Press.
* Poet office officials said yesterday thej
had decided to keep in custody Edward
Banner, former W. P. A. foreman at
Eastvllle, Va., In connection with the
bomb-slaying of a Cape Charles, Va.,
farmer last July.
State charges will be dropped. Postal
Inspector Thomas M. Milligan said,
but added, "it is very possible" Banner
would be charged in a Federal court
with violating postal laws.
The decision to hold Banner, who
was arrested with Dr. H. R. Hege, a
North Carolina dentist, in connection
with the mailing of a bomb package
to Curry Thomas and his six-week
bride July 22, was reached, Milligan
said, after conferences between postal
inspectors and United States District
Attorney Sterling Hutcheson of Rich
mond. Thomas was killed outright
when he opened the package and his
wife was injured severely.
Banner will be held at Eastville
temporarily, the inspector said, but
will be transferred to Richmond if the
Federal charge is pressed. Common
wealth Attorney Charles Lankford, Jr.,
dropped the State's charges against
Banner this week after Dr. Hege com
mitted suicide in his cell by slashing
his wrists and throat with a piece of
broken glass.
