Rocky Mount, Nov. 25—C.E. Pyle Jr., a striking machinist and secretary-treasurer of the local machiniest’ union, who has been in charge of the strike fund here; J.P. Cridlin, another striker, and Curtis Bradshaw, have been arrested on charges of being responsible for the explosion of a bomb under the residence of D.T. Taylor on October 14.
Pyle’s bond was assessed at $7,500 and Cridlin and Bradshaw at $5,000 each. W.B. Jones, an employee in the Atlantic Coast Line shops, was thrown from his bed by the force of the explosion, but was not injured. Other explosions have occurred recently in Rocky Mount and a reward of $5,000 for evidence sufficient to convict guilty parties has been offered by the city.
The men had not made bond as of noon today. The police declined to divulge the information upon which they made the arrests.
