Burglar treats police funky
to underworld secret
Associated Press
FORT WORTH — He would
cruise through posh neighborhoods,
collecting addresses of homes likely
to hold a burglar’s booty.
Sometimes he called the home
he’d targeted to make sure no one
was in. Sometimes he’d simply show
up and knock on the door. For 18
months, police said this 41-year-old
hard-scrabble heroin addict and big-
time burglar roved Tarrant County
undetected.
Three weeks ago, after he and a
female companion were arrested,
police said the three-time felon de
cided to talk, unraveling a hidden
criminal world involving as many as
1,000 burglaries, a black market
fencing ring and a possible money
laundering operation involving mil
lions of dollars.
Police Lt. John Yarborough, who
is heading an investigation that has
grown to include federal agents and
officers in almost every city in Tar
rant County, said police w'on’t re
lease the man’s name because they
fear he will be killed.
Yarborough said the man, who is
being held in a Fort Worth jail, is
continuing to lead police to busi
nesses that acted as fences for stolen
property.
“I think he just wanted to get ev
erything out,” Yarborough said. “He
just wanted to tell it all, clear the re
cord and get it over with.”
According to police and the Tar
rant County district attorney’s office,
the man’s story extends well beyond
the burglaries, giving law enforce
ment officials a window on the un
derworld of fencing.
Yarborough said three other peo
ple, whose names have not been re
leased, have been arrested andii
arrests are expected.
“It’s one of the biggest
arounds I’ve ever heard of,”sai
sistant District Attorne) 1
Blankenship, who is assisting]
in the investigation. “It’s [
tential of cracking a lot of fern
operations.”
Yarborough said that so far,]
lice have used the self-proclaii
burglar's information tosetupn
undercover strings of businessftj
ing stolen goods and havecondm
six searches.

themselves as legitimate busiii

on stamps
Associated Press
She sells seashells on the sea
shore.
That’s an old rhyme recognized
as a tongue-twister. But now the
U.S. Postal Service is selling sea
shells to its customers in the form of
a new $4.40 stamp booklet featur
ing five seashells common to this
country.
Intended for over-the-counter
sales, each booklet contains two
f lanes of 10 stamps at the 22-cent
irst-class postage rate. Each pane
depicts, in descending order, a pair
of the following five sliell designs:
Frilled Dogwinkle (a univalve
shell found on the west coast from
Alaska to California), Reticulated
Helmet (a univalve shell found
along the coast from Texas to Bra
zil), New England Neptune (a uni
valve shell noted along the coast
from Canada to Massachusetts),
Calico Scallop (a bivalve shell com
mon along the coast from the Caro-
linas to Texas), and Lightning
Whelk (a univalve shell having the
same boundaries as the Calico Scal
lop).
“USA 22” appears in the upper
left corner of each stamp ana the
name of each seashell is across the
bottom.
First-day cancellations are avail
able. If you wish to purchase the
stamps at your local post office, you
may affix to your own envelope.
Full panes may be affixed at the
light side. Send to: Customer-Af

If you would rather have the
USPS affix the stamp, follow the
same mailing procedures but en
close a money order for $2.20 per
booklet pane. Mail to: Seashells

DENTON — The Little Chapel in
the Woods at Texas Woman’s Uni
versity in Denton could have been
built 200 years ago, or 20, or the day
before yesterday. Its strong, simple
shape and wealth of traditional de
tail recall countless other churches
without copying any one.
It is, instead, an abstracted and
simplified blend of elements from
many churches — a distillation of
the “idea” of a church into a straight
forward and immediately compre
hensible design.
The Little Chapel was designed in
1938 by O’Neil Ford and Arch
Swank as part of a National Youth
Administration program, which
sought useful worle for the nation’s
unemployed. The NYA paid for the
labor, while Mr. and Mrs. W.R.
Nicholson of Longview (she was a
TWU graduate) donated about
$15,000 for materials.
The craft work that gives the cha
pel its special character was done by
students from the TWU art depart
ment, directed by Antoinette LaSelle
and assisted by artisans from around
the country. Emil Frei of St. Louis
trained students in making stained
f lass; Lynn Ford, O’Neil’s younger
rother, taught wood carving and
occasionally took a few artful whacks
himself. Other artisans provided in
struction in masonry, metalworking,
stenciling and related manual skills.
In their integration of architec
ture and crafts, Ford and Swank
were following the lead of the En
glish Arts and Crafts movement and
the work of some of its American
disciples, such as the Greene broth
ers in California. To Ford, the idea
that architecture and other visual
arts were neatly divisible was heresy;
in the Little Chapel, he showed how
rich the synthesis could be. This
small structure is an epitome of
many features of his later work: love

Travelers see world of bottles
Glass house draws attention
Associated Press
MULESHOE — Circles of glass
catch and toss the light, drawing
travelers’ attention to a world of bot
tles nestled under a tree by the road
side.
There, adjacent to a conventional
home, a little house and garden area
made of bottles, unfolds to the cu
rious eye. A wooden sign hanging
from a gateway made of horseshoes
reads “Mabel’s.”
When lighted inside, the house
sends a wonderland aura into the
night.
Mabel Caldwell used to know ex
actly how many bottles were going
into her eye-catching creation, but
over the years she lost count. She
was “into the thousands” when she
let the fun of creating overcome her
desire to keep totals.
Somehow the bottle count got lost
in a raft of crafts inundating the
Caldwell home. Any craft rage hit
ting the area found an eager fan in
Mabel Caldwell.
She tramped the countryside in
search of antique barbed wire,
cracked rocks in an Idaho quarry to
find fish preserved inside and dug
bottles from sand in a New Mexico
pasture.
At home she molded the collected
rocks and plastic into table tops. She
also did leatherwork, basketry, nee
dlework, plaster casting and any
hobby catching her fancy.
But the little bottle house remains
a favorite hobby.
“I made the house in six weeks in
1968,” Caldwell, now in her 80s,
said.
Knowledge of bottle houses and
how to build them came from a
woman in California who “built a
while string of bottle houses.” Hers
were square, but Caldwell decided in
favor of the bottle shape.
Carefully, she would pour a layer
of cement, put in the Dottles with
bottoms turned outward, then re
peat the process as cement hard
ened. Soon, a bottle house sur
rounded a tree in the yard of her
home.
For windows, she used aij
rangement of clear bottles to2
more light inside. Bottles
the construction had cons#
shape and color, while the uni»
were hung around the treet
suspended from the ceiling.
. The tree died, she thinks,
lack of air around the roots,
long, she had run a central chi
resembling the neck of a I
