Wonder Radio' Inventor Said 'No' To £120,000

London, June 28. ESLIE ALBERT RUMBLE, thirty-six- year-old inventor of a radio secret that may be worth thousands of pounds, has been found dead in his scullery-workshop at Alder-

shot.

Surrounding him were the dismantled parts of the set on which he had been working- a radio set, rin larger than two match-boxes, which needed no valves, no electricity.

Mr. Rumble died from gas polson- ing. His wife said yesterday: "I am convinced that his invention killed him."

Blue Print Secret

He worked day and night to per- fect his set. He claimed it would

cause a sensation when put on the market; he said it could be made for as little as 10s.

Le never allowed any one to inspect it closely, but somewhere in the house, it is thought, will be found a blue print that will reveal the secret,

In February 1330 Leslie Rumble told the Daily Express about the in-

vention. I was sent to Aldershot to inspect it.

"I got too big for him," she said. "It frightened him.

"One night a man in my presence offered him £120,000, but my hus- hand would not sell. He thought that he could improve the set.

"Then one night he came into the living-room with the set and salt he had finished with it. Ite threw it on the ro and We watched it burn.

"My husband's health, never good, improved after that, and I thought he had forgotten all about it until one day he said a friend had per- suaded him to rebuild the set.

"Agreement Made"

"Since Christmas he has had amazing results, but he became nervous wreck."

Mr. Leslie Franklin, an Aldershot radio engineer, told me:-

"Some time ago my brother and I became financially interested in Mr. Rumble's invention. A legal agree- ment was drawn up. I was to have the set and the blueprint in the event of anything happening to Mr. Rumble. I am hoping to get them and that the jet can be produced for public disposal."

AMERICAN OFFER FOR BARRIE COTTAGE

The tiny cottage where Sir James Barrio was born may soon be moved from Kirriemuir and become 體 "show place" at a South Coast resort-or it may go to America, where it would be set up in one of New York's biggest stores.

Str Lacon Threlford, the owner, spoke of the offers.

"I have had a number of business propositions." he said, "and al- though in my heart I would like the collage to stay at Kirriemuir I have, as A businessman, been considering them.

"One of the offers is from an hotel near Ramsgate. They want to set up the cottage in their grounds so that people in the South may have a chance to see in what sort of a house the author of 'Peter Pan' was born.

"Another offer comca from America, but I am

yet which I will accept.

AT COST PRICE "Personally I think it is quite a good idea for the collage to be moved South 80 that the people down there can have an opportunity to see it. After all, it is a long way to go while it remains in Scotland.

"But there have also been suggestions that a fund should be started to keep the cottage at Kirriemuir, and if this should materialise will let them have the cottage at cost price."

Ten years ago the cottage was! bought by Major H. Lauder after it had been offered to the Kirriemuir Council.

Later it was purchased by Siri Lacon Threlford.
