| JUDGE DENIES SUSPECT PLEA I I ” Lindbergh Kidnap Suspect Will Carry Case To Higher Court New York, Oct. 17.—(U.R)— Bruno Richard Hauptmann carried bls tight against extradition into the appellate court today coincident with hints that the state of New Jersey was concealing Important evidence linking him to the murder of the Lindbergh baby. New Jersey won a victory in the proceedings to extradite Haupt(mann on murder charges when Supreme Court Justice Ernest E. L. Hammer last night denied the ' request of the suspect's counsel for ' a writ of habeas corpus which , would have cullified the extradition I warrant. James M. Fawcett, Hauptmann's attorney, won a stay until 4 p. tn., | Friday to permit an appeal from the decision. The appeal probably will be argued In appellate court on Friday and, if rejected, Hauptmann will be taken Immediately to Flemington, Hunterdon county, N. : .1., and will be tried three or four weeks hence. Belief that Attorney General David T. Wilentz of New Jersey had kept "an ace in the hole" in the hearings before Justice Hammer was increased by the confident ' attitude of the dark, aggressive little prosecutor. Wilentz declined to confirm that he had undisclosed evidence, but ihe turned questions away with a i smile and shrug and expressions 'of confidence that Hauptmann could be convicted if he was brought to trial in New Jersey. , Fawcett, expressing disappoint, ment, said he would use every means of fighting extradition and. if the appeal failed, might even ■ carry the case to the United States : supreme court. His attitude indi'cated that he had been forced to use virtually all the defense evidence in the hearing. Justice Hammer's decision came last night after two days of testimony in which Hauptmann had depended chiefly upon his own emphatic denials that he was in New Jersey on the date of the crime; i that he wrote the ransom notes; that he kidnaped the baby; that he killed the baby; that he had ; been seen near the Lindbergh home shortly before the kidnaping i and that he knew "anything" about ' the crime. o Arrest Farmer For Defrauding Veteran Warsaw.
