Washington has been impressive although it has won hut 10 or 19 games Bosse of Evansville appears : strong in the pocket area. Princeton has won 15 games and lost only to Bosse and Vincennes, the latter being another outstanding contender.

The Lindlergh law provides ’»ath penalty in aggravated cases sf kidnaping and in others “imprisonment for such term of years i s the court in its discretion, shall •■termine. Kidnapers who use the mails r transmission of ransom notes | -d the like’ may be prosecuted I ‘omatically under the federal w. Those who transport their! ictims across state lines also I •ome under jurisdiction of the law. j The act provides that in the absence of the return of the person kidnaped during a three day I period, the presumption arises that the victim has been transported “in interstate or foreign com- ■ merce.” Because of the prominence of : I the Lindberghs, the manner in I which their baby was kidnaped. ; and the tragic outcome, the case I presented a challenge of national I importance to the forces of law I and order. When it became apparent that ■no immediate solution was forthcoming. crime seemed to boo. Kidi napings and other acts of violence (almost became legion. The department of justice be- • gan to cooperate actively with the New Jersey state police and the I New York city police department ; According to Attorney General ■ Homer S. Cummings: I "The result obtained in the Lindj bergh case is due to no master de[tective of fiction working on intui- . tion or sporadic inspiration, but ■ to a practical arrangement for cooperation) in which trained e - ■ perts. methodical, patient and attentive to the smallest details

Most of them were penned , by cranks, but the division of in- , vestigation inquired into every one. I The division even prepared 31).- , 000 index cards as a matter of mere routine to organize the Lindbergh files on chronological basis. In Hoover’s office is gruesome evidence of many another kidnaping. solved either by his operatives or by cooperating state agencies. Case after case is filed with ma- ' chine guns, shot guns, revolvers and knives taken from kidnapers land oth.r criminals. There are! pieces of hangmen’s ropes, which tightened around some of their necks. In one display there is a therm- ■ os jug in which the kidnapers hid part of the $200,000 ransom money ( they obtained from Charles F. Ur- . schel. Oklahoma City business man. Within 90 days after he was ! ( kidnaped, 15 men and women were arrested, tried and convicted for thetr part in the crime 0 .Jury Returns Verdict CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE bench. “Your honor." he said. “ move for an immediate sentencing of the 1 prisoner.” In a voice that shook with emo- • tion.

Hauptmann was about to be led j back to his cell when he leaned j over and spoke to Lloyd Fisher. ' the member of his legal staff who has visited him every day in jail. "Can you come in tonight,” he asked Fisher. "No, but I’ll come in tomorrow,” Fisher said.
