One of the most remarkable coincidences of the Lindbergh kidnaping case is the resemblances of Bruno Hauptmann, indicted suspect, to the imaginary kidnaper whose likeness was drawn by a Washington artist for the department of justice from descriptions furnished by Dr. John (Jafsie) Condon and Joseph Pcrrone, cab driver, the only persons known to have been in touch with the culprits. The artist's sketches and pictures of Hauptmann in similar poses are shown above for comparison.

CRYING BABY MAY MOVE BAUPTMANN Lindbergh Suspect to Hear, Infant's Wails in Jail. By l niled Fret* NEW YORK. Sept. 25.—The determined efforts of authorities to get a confession of the Lindbergh kidnaping from Bruno R. Hauptmann without resorting to thirddegree methods touched anew mark in police ingenuity today with reports that a “crying baby” would be used as a stage "prop.” One person closely connected with the investigation said it was planned to place a crying baby near Hauptmann's cell in an effort to break down his persistent denials of guilt. It was not clear just how pohee would get the baby to cry, although a suggestion w - as made that a phonograph of a baby's wail be used instead of the real thing. The informant said that the police planned for Hauptmann to hear the w-ailing frequently, probably all day or longer, presumably on the theory that a guilty person would be reminded of the death of the Lindbergh baby. It also was said that Hauptmann showed the greatest emotion since his arrest when he saw* his own 18-months-old son yesterday.' The questioning of Hauptmann has been long, he has gone without sleep and he has been taken over the same ground repeatedly in’ an effort to break his story, but so far as could be learned there has been no “third degree.” It was said by one patrolman that he went without sleep for pbout sixty-four hours after his arrest.
