Gunpowder Mailed to 2 U.S. Senators

Secret Service agents questioned a Vermont man who admitted sending packages that contained gunpowder to two U.S. senators. The agents did not arrest or name the man after interviewing him at his home in the northeast Vermont town of Island Pond. The gunpowder discolored and temporarily numbed the hands of two aides and another person in the office of Sen. John Glenn (D-Ohio) when they opened a package that arrived Monday at his Columbus, Ohio, office. Staff members in the Burlington office of Sen. James M. Jeffords (R-Vt.) opened a package that arrived there but not the box inside.
