WIRE TAPPING
OUTFIT FOUND;
OWNER SOUGHT

RICHMOND. Va, July 6.-United
States Secret Service men today are
endeavoring to establish the Identity
of the owner OF one OF the neatest and
most complete telephone and tele-
graph tapping outfits which has ever
come to their attention and which IL
now in the possession of Assistant
District Attorney Hiram NJ. Smith.
The outfit. which Is one OF the most
costly and delicate, was discovered on
the property OF @. A Dunlop, near
Seven Pines. by L. F. Fleming and .
Mr.. Bryant. who lives out In that d.
rection.
Mr.. Bryant was at that time cut
ting down bushes to clear the way
for a road through the Dunlop prop
erty from the Williamsburg road. He
and Mr.. Fleming were together when
they made the peculiar discovery. The
bushes that were cut down had been
placed in q heap to dry so that they
could be burned. They were to re-
main there several days. but the day
after they were placed there q part
OF them had to be removed, and In
doing SO Mr.. Bryant made the discov-
cry.
One interesting fact about It Is that
the instrument was encased in tin 90
as to keep II from becoming damp and
to make IL ready for use at any time.
II was equipped with complete appur-
tenances for attaching II to either
telegraph or telephone wires. II com
prised q complete telephone and tele-
graph instrument. II IL valued by cleo
tricians at about $3.50.
