Authorities say a suspicious
substance found in mail sent to a judge at the Santa Fe Courthouse isn't
dangerous.
Santa Fe Fire Department Assistant Chief Jan Snyder said Wednesday
that preliminary testing identified the white powdery substance as sodium bicarbonate,
commonly considered baking soda. Additional testing will be done at a
laboratory in Albuquerque
The courthouse was evacuated for several hours but it's reopening for business
in the afternoon. Chief Judge Raymond Ortiz said 20 people in the court clerk's
office were isolated after a worker found the powder in an envelope addressed
to District Judge Stephen Pfeffer.
