By United Press ~" WILKES-BARRE, Pa., Oct. ' 27—A United Mine Workers official was killed last night when a- planted time bomb blew his automobile apart shortly after he turned over to authorities a note demanding $2000 under threat of death. Charlés Mecadon, 43, president of a United Mine Workers local for 10 years and a Republican leader and justice of the peace in nearby Pittston Township, was driving toward his son's home when the terrific blast ripped the car apart, . fa The entire front of the automobile was blown out, parts figing more than 100 yards away and narrowly missing numerous pedestrians. Three little girls playing on the sidewalk nearby were injured by the concussion.
‘Big White Cloud’
The blast took place in the Minersville business section of the city. Although more than a score of pedestrians were on the street, few saw the explosion. Most said only that they felt the concussion, heard the blast and looked to see a “big cloud of white smoke.” Police said the time bomb apparently had been planted in the $M automobile a few minutes earlier B& When Mr. Mecadon stopped at a ' cafe three blocks away to make a telephone call,’ Baffled authorities said they ? had no clues of the slayers. Mr. Mecadon died in WilkesBarre hospital seven hours after he was mangled by the explosion. § Earlier in the day, he had re- & ceived a note ‘signed “The Avengers” and postmarked at Pittston. His wife said the note read: : . “We want $2000 within a week or vou and your son, Francis, will, | be killed. We know every move | you make. Will let you know
