TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN&#13;
&#13;
I am employed at the Post Office, Custom House Station, in Norfolk, Virginia.&#13;
&#13;
I was working at my window about a week ago when Ted Owens, who calls himself "PK Man" and has a P.O. Box, No. 3134, at our post office, came to my window.&#13;
&#13;
"Mr. Ramos," he said, "my special ESP ability and powerful mind have picked up the thoughts of some bad people...who are planning to bomb a post office here in Norfolk. It could be this one. They plan to bomb it on Saturday or Sunday. You had better notify the authorities about it."&#13;
&#13;
Last Saturday a bomb was thrown at the Post Office building on West 20th Street here in Norfolk, and the FBI have entered the case.&#13;
&#13;
Ted Owens, therefore, was correct, and accurate, when he foretold the event approximately one week before it actually happened.&#13;
&#13;
I swear that this is a true and accurate statement.&#13;
&#13;
Mr. W. Ramos  &#13;

&#13;
Bomb Tossed  &#13;
At P.O. on 10/24/70  &#13;
20th Street&#13;
&#13;
NORFOLK—A fire bomb was thrown at the Post Office building in the 400 block of West 20th Street early today.&#13;
&#13;
Police said the bomb exploded on a loading dock on the east side of the building. The building's yellow brick wall was blackened and fragments of glass littered the loading platform.&#13;
&#13;
The bomb hit the building inches away from a large window.&#13;
&#13;
Investigators found burned newspapers and an empty salt container in a trash can behind the Post Office.&#13;
&#13;
A neighborhood resident told police that he saw two men running down an alley behind the post office after the explosion.&#13;
&#13;
The FBI was notified.&#13;
