'DETECTAPHoNEn INNOCENT (?)
Detective Burns Places Great Faith in
New Device for Thief
Catching

A small oak case, which can be car
ried with ease under the arm and
weighing with all its fittings sixteen
pounds, is the simple mechanism in
which William ]. Burns, the detec-
tive, is placing his faith to revolu-
tonize methods of police investigation.
The appliance is called the "detecta-
phone" and Burns is so enthusiastic
about it that he has installed one in
every branch Office of his agencies in
this country and Europe. OF it he re-
Gently wrote:
Il emphatically state that the de-
tectaphone is the very last word in
| scientific secret service devices"
Trial Given Machine
A trial was given the machine in
the Office of Chief of Police M. J..
Flanagan yesterday. The case and
receivers were placed on the chiefs
desk and fifty feet of black string
wire was run from there into Detec-
tive Lieutanent Sweeney's room.
across hall and stairway, from the
lieutnent's Office was placed the SEN
sitive transmitter and the current APP
piled.
In his own office, with the receivers
and headpiece properly adjusted, the
chief and attaches heard distinctly
what was said in Lieutnent Swee-
ney's Office. The particular point
which is urged in favor of the new
machine is that more than one can
listen to the conversations, thereby
making it possible to obtain corrobo-
ratve evidence that viii stand in court.
+! The chief was pleased with the dem
onstration, and said he could see a
great future in detective work with
the aid of such device. The police
/ department will not be able to get
hold of a detectaphone, as the Burns
corporation has refused to allow them
out of its possession. The machine
can be rented, but Burns operative
must always accompany each device.
Will Abolish Third Degree
1t is claimed that the detectaphone
will abolish the third degree methods
which have been so roundly scored in
America. This can be accomplished,
it is said, by obtaining the confessions
of the prisoners through the detecta-
phone as they tell their stories to 9TH
er prisoners after the device has been
put in the cell room
The device is said to be most valu-
able in the case of observation of the
insane, because then they can be
watched" while alone. Their partic-
ular hallucinations can be CLEANED
from their talk while imagining they
are alone
Business men and lawyers who OBJ
ject to interviews with women in pri-
vate Offices can dispense with a third
person in the room by the use of the
detecaphone, as the conversation can
be taken down by stenographer in
another room
The principal use of the device, how
ever, is the trapping of criminals, and
it is hoped that by placing them in
cells the prisoners will be unable to
| frame up" defenses.

soon struck what is locally known as
the Plank Road. skirting q chain OF
hills which the residents dignity by

temper
"Confound 1t. Kent" he said with
considerable asperity. Il was 20 busy

hear what you said. Sit down and
tell me all about It,"
Notified by his apology. I sat down
on the foot Of the bed and told him the
story Of my day. how ! had seen a
man going into the Parrish home and
had recognized him later a. Hugh
Crandall. or at least a. the man who
had registered at the hotel az Cook;
how had been barred from the house
how l had discovered another yellow
letter suicide in the park: how, when
l returned to the Parrish home after
Crandall had left. Louise had told me
Of the theft OF the scrap Of yellow pa
per from her desk: how she had left
me to go on In her automobile after
insisting that drop the invest tigation;
how had seen her again, crossing
the ferry with Crandall in the ma
chine; how had returned to Ard
way and had learned that Lock Box II
was held in the name Of Henry NAL
colin Stewart; how the missing post
master himself had been in the habit
Of putting the mail that came to that
address into his own pocket and 60

Cox and had determined that when
he disappeared he had gone Oh on his
bicycle.

conclusion. Il am conv inced that Rou-
ser was the tool-in all probability the
innocent tool-of Hugh Crandall in
carrying out his nefarious schemes
Crandall apparently had him take the
Lock Box II mail to some agreed
meeting-place. 1t would not surprise
me in the least II Crandall, finding
himself in danger Of exposure, had
made away with the postmaster. |
am convinced that Crandall Is aware
that he is being watched. In his des-
peration he had the hardihood to visit
the Parrish home and to abstract that
fragment Of the yellow letter, lest 1t
should be used as evidence against
him. am convinced. too. that he has
succeeded in terrorizing Louise by
the same methods that he used with
her sister. so that she is trying to dis.
suade me from pursuing Crandall.
