The two of them, Leo Felton, 30, a member of a neo-Nazi movement recently released from prison, and Erika Chase, 22, were arrested while in the process of preparing an explosive charge made up of fertilizer materials. They intended using the charge against which they called “mud people” – Jews, Blacks, Asians and other minorities.
