startling things that amateur radio

Imagine what would have been said
OF me only five years ago II had pre-
dicted that In 1924 private citizens in
their homes in New Zealand and Aus.
tralia would be communicating back
and forth with private citizens in the
United states as well as In England
and France?
THE private citizens OF the world
have it In their power to communi-
cate with one another without leav-
ing their homes. Where is 1t leading
to? May 1t not be toward broader po-
litical views, more international
friendships and better understanding?
There is a thrill In receiving music
broadcast from France. but believe

verse back and forth with an indiv-

Amateur Game Oner. Thrills.

Five years ago amateur radio tele-
graph operators were sending mes
sages to all parts Of the United States
and Canada through the American
Radio Relay League. There was no
distance on the continent that they
could not span. The idea Of COM
municating with Europe was regard
ed as improbable. Today hardly a
week goes by but some amateur
makes record pointing the way to
worldwide amateur communication
by radio telegraphy.
Receipt OF two messages within a
day or two of each other, one from
Australia and the second from New
Zealand, brought from Hiram Percy
Maxim, president OF the American
Radio Relay League, the comment
that the big radio thrills are in the
two-way telegraphic game" Both of
these messages came all the way by
amateur radio with the same reiiabil-
ity that they could be sent by cable
and wire.

 The bandit escaped in a mud spattered red touring car bearing New York license plates He was last seen shortly after shooting the policeman at Graeffenburg, 25 miles west of Abbottstown, heading in the direction of the Maryland border.
 A fairly good description of the bandit was furnished by H. F. Stam- baugh, cashier of the Abbottstown bank. The authorities said it was similar to that of Gerald Chapman, an escaped convict from the Atlanta prison, who is also sought in con- nection with the killing of a police man at New Britain, Conn.,, during an attempted robbery there several days ago.
 Detectives left here late last night for Hagerstown, Md, in response to advices from the Maryland authori- ties that they had arrested a slls- pect answering the description of the bandit.

MRS. TELL IS FREED
 OF SHAVING BLAIR
Jury in Middletown Court Finds Her Not Guilty
 of Manslaughter

Middletown, Conn, Oct 15.-Mrs Johanna Tell, accused of manslaugh- ter in causing the death last April of Charles Blair, by whom she was employed as housekeeper, on Kill lingworth, Conn.,, farm, was &C., quilted by a jury in the criminal superior coust this afternoon.
 The jury which retired at 1o:45 this forenoon reported at 2:20 this afternoon with a verdict of not guilty.
 The crowds in the courtroom cheered the announcement of the verdict but were silenced fby the sheriff at the behest of Judge Arthur F. Els, who presided at the trial.
 Mrs. Tell and her daughter. Lil- lian, IA. who was with her in the court room, both wept as the verdict was announced.
 Public Defender D. J. Donahoe, counsel for Mrs. Tell, was the first to congratulate her.
 Mrs. Tell declined to make any statement, except that she wished to "go into oblivion" and said she would return soon to New York with her daughter.
 The case was given to the jury at 10:45 this forenoon. Judge Arthur F. Els charged the jury for 45 min- utes. He told the jurors that they should take into consideration the circumstantial evidence on which the states case rests, to some ex- tent. He went into lengthy ex- planation of the crime of man. slaughter.
 Reading the indictment the judge said there were three things to con- sider. Two things were certain. There was no doubt of Blair's death and no doubt about who killed him. There was a question, however. as 10 whether he was killed unlawfully, he said. If there was reasonable doubt that Mrs. Tell killed him in self defense, she should be ac- quilted.
 Judge Els urged the jurors to put themselves in the woman's po- sition as much as possible when they retired to consider the case. He said they must decide whether Mrs, Tell believed her life was in danger and that she acted in conse- quence of that belief. He said the jury's sole duty was to decide whether she killed Blair in self de- fense.
