Mrs. Stella Ball Shepley, welfare

Texas Inventor Dismantles

Temple, Texas, Dec. 2O-R)-A
radio set which its inventor claims
readily tunes in on all the neighbOr-
hood gossip. has been dismantled be
cause Of fear Of possible prosecution
for revealing family secrets.
Discovery Of this radio develop
ment is claimed 10y Buford Young,
Texas farmer, who attempted TO
follow instructions in a magazine for
constructing a three tube set. When
he tested the apparatus he declared
hr could listen in on conversations
in nearby ranch homes. When news
paprrmen demanded test he told
them to return Saturday next and he
would demonstrate the device. In
the meantime he has taken il to
pieces as he fears it lis too good to
be legal"
Heard N@ighbOrs Talk
In explaining the device, Young
said he apparently had wound the
col the wrong way. Hc was unable
to pick up any station and was re-
arranging the parts when IA neigh
boris voice was heard to say: will
Rroach's mule is out
Young said he stopped his expert
mcnting and verified the statement
from William Warren, a neighbor
who admitted saying it. He then as
sembled some friends who steadfastly
maintained that Young conducted a
series Of successful tests, including
the reading Of newspaper article
while the listeners followed the same
story in another paper.
Young said conversations were
audible only when the speakers were
in closed rooms within a radius of a
half mile.
Radio experts expressed doubt as
to how such result was possible. but
planned to investigate Saturday.

suspecting reputable jewellers.
The mystery of the theft, which
created much interest at the time,
was cleared up chiefly because kaul-
fer talked too much. One Of his
lapses from caution was promptly
reported to the police through the
widespread system of informers
maintained by the police. He was
Swallowed for several weeks and
finally was connected with the Chan
tiliy robbery. He was arrested
quietly and kept in his room ut a
local hotel until Souter arrived. Both
wilted under questioning and gave
complete details of the robbery. 1t
is expected that all the stolen gems
will be recovered because Of their
distinctive cutting.
