Hauptmann’s losses in stock market speculations. $7,000. Ransom money found in Haupt- ! mann’s garage. $14,590 Ransom bills spent in 716 places. ISJOO • Hauptmann's supposed loan to his friend, Isidor Ftsch, $7,300. In the same cache where yesterday's money was found, was a tiny automatic pistol of German make. | Authorities immediately sought to connect the .25 caliber weapon with the crime. Dr. Charles H Mitchell, county physician of Mercer county, N. J., where the baby's body was found, said it was possible that a bullet from a small caliber pistol made the abnormal opening found behind the left ear of the body. New Jersey authorities, in insisting they would extradite Hauptmann eventually, disclosed they had three witnesses who had identified Hauptmann as the man they sawnear the Linbergh Hopewell home the day before the kidnaping. Hauptmann will face a maximum , term of twenty years imprisonment if convicted of extortion in New York state. He would face the death penalty if tried for murder in New Jersey. ‘Good.’ Says Hoover Bn United Press WASHINGTON Sept. 27.-The Justice department prepared today for sensational new developments in *the Lindbergh case, including the expected arrest of a suspected accomplice of Bruno R. Hauptmann. It was indicated that federal agents, working day and night to clear up remaining mysteries of the j abduction and killing of the Lindbergh child, had uncovered new evidence leading to an associate of Hauptmann. While hoping for speedy solution of the entire case, officials cautioned that it might take weeks to run out the new clews. The nature of these leads was guarded closely, but they were highly pleasing to Director J. Edgar Hoover of the federal division of investigation. , Things look very good." said Mr. i Hoover. He took time out to entertain visiting police chiefs, who lavished praise on the justice department • and on Mr. Hoover for the federal government's success in tracking down notorious gangsters and in * finally cracking the Lindbergh case.! I Mr. Hoover, however, was not resting for a moment on his laurels. He l kept in constant touch with New j York by telephone. Arrangements were made for him to rush there by t airplane on a moment's notice. Department officials still held to RESERVE OFFICERS TO OPEN DANCE SEASON Program Will Be Given Saturday at Ft.

the view that Hauptmann was the -key man” in the kidnaping, but Hoover qualified this with the assertion: “It is possible, but not probable, that he did the job alone.” Conceivably, investigators say. Hauptmann might have done it all single-handed, but there are many circumstances that point the other way. Nothing has turned up yet to alter their belief that someone close to the Lindbergh home must have acted as lookout for the kidnapers or have unwittingly provided the information that the Lindbergh baby was at the Hopewell <N. J.) mansion. For the Lindberghs had not expected to be there the night the kidnaping occurred. Hauptmann stands indicted as the man to whom Dr. J. F. Condon, acting for Colonel Lindbergh, handed over the $50,000 ransom in a Bronx cemetery. But Condon and Colonel Lindbergh saw another man near the cemetery that night. And the "John,” supposedly Hauptmann—to whom Condon gave the money—left the doctor for ten minutes during those tense negotiations in the cemetery. Some investigators deduce that he left to gainJiis confederate’s assent to Condon’s plea that the ransom be reduced from $70,000 to $50,000. Detective in Berlin By United Press BERLIN, Sept. 27.—Arthur Johnson, New York city detective assigned to investigate German phases of the Lindbergh case, arrived today from Paris and conferred with criminal authorities. He then proceeded to an undisclosed destination, believed to be Leipzig, to question relatives of the late Isidore Fisch, friend of Bruno Richard Hauptmann.

CARDINAL DOUGHERTY THREATENED IN NOTE OF ASYLUM FUGITIVE

By l nit at Press PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 27. Police and federal agents today searched for George Havidich, 45, Pittsburgh, who escaped the second time from the Philadelphia hospital for mental diseases and renewed his demands for $50,000 from Cardinal Dougherty. Havidich was arrested a year ago after seeking to extort money from the prelate by threatening letters. He was to have been tried in federal court, but was pronounced insane and committed. Receipt of another threatening letter yesterday by diocesan officials in the absence of Cardinal Dougherty revealed that Havidich had been at large since Monday. The letter was similar to the one which first caused his arrest, federal agents said, reading: “I organized Christianity and Cardinal Dougherty owes md $50,000 in pay.”
