"By pressing the button, the bells of the 'phone are caused to ring so as to give the attendant a chance to lead the 'victim' on. When he attempts to answer the call, or should he attempt to make a call, a 32-caliber blank cartridge will be exploded with a loud report, and at the same time white powder will be blown with a strong blast from the transmitter into the face of the party at the 'phone"
