"Human Bomb" Is Held.

New York Times 100 years ago today, November 26, 1912:
Bail for Man Who Caused Panic In Police Station Fixed at $20,000.
    LOS ANGELES, Nov. 25.— Carl Riedelbach, alias Carl Warr, called by the police the "Human Bomb," was held for the Grand Jury to-day by Police Judge Wílliams, his bond being fixed at $20,000.
    Riedelbach was not represented by counsel. He took a deep interest in the hearing, and frequently interrogated the witnesses. At the request of Chief Sebastian, Riedelbach made a drawing of the infernal machine with which he caused a panic at the Central Police Station last Tuesday. He declared several times that he had no intention of exploding the machine, but that he was "bluffing."
    The hearing will be continued to-morrow.
