They were all wrong. A young man, who did not give his name, phoned radio station CHQR and confessed. He and a friend had filled a | 40-foot plastic bag with natu- ral gas, tied on .a_ six-foot length of rope, attached a yel- low road flare and an alumi- num reflector disk, and re- leased the device to float into the sky.

Defence Halts Inquiry For Psychological Tests PRESTON, Ont. (CP)--A ju-] dicial inquiry into the removal! of two young sisters from a fos- ter home started a five-day ad- journment tcday to await re- sults of psychological tests of Mrs. Arthur Timbrell. Mrs. Timbrell was involved in @ dispute Sept, 28 when workers! with the Waterloo Count} Chil-| dren's Aid Society, -.accompa- nied by police, forcibly removed the children from her home. A report by a sagiety psychologist, made public Mpnday, described i "exhibiting behavior" and having a strong need for chil-| dren. { Mrs. Timbrell, 43-year-old mother of nine, refused to re- turn the children to the society! Aug. 10. The Timbrells applied] to adopt the children but were 'rejected and the children were taken away. Following the seizure, Pre- mier John Robarts ordered an investigation of the case. Thomas B. O'Neill, Toronto lawyer representing Mrs. Tim- brell, said Tuesday he asked for adjournment to permit inde- pendent psychological tests at a clinic. He said the examination would take two days. Earlier, ilson Hunsberger, director of the county CAS, told the inquiry the society tearned of "a substantial series of crim- inal convictions involving three members of the Timbrell family and a serious involvement with the law of a fourth member." _ "This indicated @ pattern of \ anti-social behavior of such| magnitude that it was entirely) out of the question to consider the adoption application of Mr. and Mrs. Timbrell." He said the report, by CAS psychologist Ruth Conley last August, also formed the basis} for rejection. Ir Mrs, Timbrell had revealed the convictions in August, 1966, when she applied to become a) foster parent, the two sisters) would not have: been placed in| the Timbrell home last January, | he said.
