HAUPTMANN’S AID IN KIDNAP CASEJOUGHT At Least Two Men Handled I Lindbergh Ransom, Police Believe. FRIEND SAVED SUSPECT Companion Halted Paying of $lO Gold Note, Say Officers. By Unite 4 Press NEW YORK. Oct. 2.—Two lines of investigation—one to determine whether at least two men handled ' the Lindbergh ransom money and another to trace activities of Bruno j R Hauptmann—led officials of New j York and New Jersey toward rompletition of their evidence against : the Kidnap case suspect today. Trenton, Colonel H. Norman ; Schwarzkopf disclosed that he belsved Hauptmann had an accomplice in handling the ransom money because of information that a second man once saved the suspect from passing a ransom bill at a lumberyard where police were then Investigating clews in the case. At the office of Samuel Foley, Bronx county district attorney, who went to Trenton for a conference on extradition, experts studied Hauptmann's memorandum books to trace his activities and expenditures. Gold Certificate Offered Tlie Trenton conference was expected to consolidate New Jersey's plans for extradition of Hauptmann to face murder charges before he is put on trial for extortion in the Bronx. Colonel Schwarzkopf, in relating a visit of Hauptmann to a lumber yard, as reported earlier, told why he was convinced the suspect had an accomplice. He said Hauptmann and the sec- j ond man visited a lumber yard on Feb. 4. 1934, to make a small purchase of panelling. Hauptmann offered a $lO gold certificate, which later developments indicated was a ransom note. Pair Never Returned William J. Reilly, superintendent of the yard, stared at the gold note in surprise and Hauptmanns companion quickly said: “Never mind, here Is the exact change." He produced 40 cents and Hauptmann put the gold note away. They hurriedly left the yard saying they would return for the panel after it was cut. They never returned. Reilly has identified Hauptmanns picture and is expected later to confront Hauptmann. Thumb Guard Found Schwarzkopf also revealed that a small thumb guard worn bv the kidnaped Lindbergh baby had been found by Betty Gow. the child's nurse, on the road leading from Lindbergh’s Hopewell house to the gatehouse. The discovery was made a few days before the child's body was found Schwarzkopf said he had not yet received anv report relative to a statement by William B. Dennis. Chicago civil engineer* that he was certain a man who borrowed his tire pump near Hopewell on the night of the kidnaping was Hauptmann. "Federal authorities are cooperating with us and all essential information Is being exchanged in due time.” Colonel Schwarzkopf said.

STRIKE TRUCE TAKING FORM Objective to Be Reached by Individual Contacts, Is Indication. By United Press WASHINGTON. Oct. 2—President Roosevelt today gradually was developing his “industrial truce” plan which has stirred new disagreements between organized labor and capital. At the White House, it was explained the President has not yet determined the form into which he will develop the program which he hopes will give the country a period of undisturbed industrial peace that would assist recovery. Nor does he have any intention of calling a general conference or any set series of meetings to worh out the plan. Instead, he will coptinue from time to time to see various industrialists and labor leaders individually. and out of these informal meetings he expects the peace program to take form At present, he was described as being certain only of the objective, which he laid before the nation in his Sunday night talk. The Wlille House reiterated that there is no thought of attempting to force either labor or capital to give | up its weapons. Rather, it seemed, the effort will be toward attempting to obtain a tacit understanding to avoid use of those weapons wherever possible. The White House made clear that the President had not dispatched Frances Perkins, secretary of labor, to the American Federation of Labor convention in San Francisco. The President, it was said, was not aware that she was going to San Francisco until she informed him thus week that she had promised President William Green some time ago that she would address the convention.

Robinson Raps McNutt a t Rally Here; Pritchard Speaks; 12,000 Are Present

A crowd of approximately 12.000 overflowed cadle tabernacle last night as the combined Republican organization of Marion county staged their “official” opening of the 1934 campaign. The rally was touted as one only for organization members and their guests and admission was supposed to be only by ticket. However, no one had any trouble in getting a ticket. Arrival at the tabernacle of Senator Arthur R. Robinson, nominee for senator, and Walter Pritchard, nominee for mayor, was the signal for a riotous outburst by the crowd and the enthusiasm was unchecked as the meeting progressed. Senator Robinson renewed his attack upon the state administration, •viewing with alarm” and hurling the same charges in the same words lie has employed thus far in the campaign. The senator referred to Governor Paul V. McNutt as the "Imperer" and assailed what he termed the ruthlessness with which the state administration group has seized control of the Democratic party Attacking the 2 Per cent Club as a racket, invented by the "Imperer," the senator also took time to denounce what he said was the ineptitude of the state securities commission m failing to stop investor*’ losse* m local bucket shops.

U. S, SCORES FIRST IN TEST OF NIRA Government May Inspect Weirton Records. By United Press WILMINGTON. Del.. Oct. 2.—The government won the first round of the legal contest over the validity of section 7A of the national industrial recovery act today. Judge John P. Nields in federal district court threw open to inspection of federal lawyers records from the files of the Weirton Steel Company concerning formation of the company s union. He ruled that the government might inspect the records before deciding whether or not to put them all in evidence. They included minutes of the meetings of the company’s union and its rules committee as well as letters of E. T. Weir, chairman of the board, to customers and answers received to his letter. SPAIN SEEKS PREMIER TO WEATHER CRISIS President Confers With Leaders as Revolt Threatens. By United Press MADRID. Oct. 2.—President Niceto Alcala Zamora began a series of conferences with political leaders today. hoping that by tonight he could authorize the formation of anew cabinet and avert a political crisis that might lead to a socialist revolt. Ricardo Samper, who resigned soon after the parliament met yesterday, advised the president he thought the best solution was to try to form another government like his —a minority one, functioning by consent of other parties. Socialists have threatened openly to start a revolution if Gil Robles, right wing majority leader, forms a government. fataTshooting probed Mate Killed Self After Quarrel, Wife Tells Police. Bf United Pres* VINCENNES. Ind., Oct. 2.—The fatal shooting last night of James Crock. 26. Vincennes shoe factory worker, was investigated by Coroner E. F. Small today. Crock's wife informed officials that he shot himself after they had quarreled. Both barrels of a shotgun were discharged into his abdomen.

Turning his attention to the national administration, Senator Robinson warned that the American people are in danger of losing their liberty. Operation of the anti-trust laws has been suspended, the senator said, and monopolies are increasing until thousands of little busihesses are being wiped out. Mr. Pritchard, who has been labeled the mayor candidate of George V. (Boss* Coffin, took up in part of his address the challenge that he is boss-controlled. The first portion of his talk was devoted to finance of the city administration. in which he endeavored to offer figures refuting Democratic claims of municipal economy. The Coffin candidate for mayor declared the annual average expenditures exceed the expenditures of the two previous administrations from 1922 to 1929. He asserted that part of the financial showing of the present administration is being accomplished by issuing bonds to pay current obligations. “This Democratic practice is contrary to the whole theory of our budget law." Mr. Pritchard said. "Such unsound financing throws the city further into debt and puts serious obstacles in the path of the $1.50 law. for each new bond creates a fixed obligation that must be provided for in the general tax levy." The limit oa bonded indebtedness

afternoon shift. The rest are to be absorbed as rapidly as possible pending a hearing before the newly created textile board on charges by the unioq’s local No. 2069 that failure to take all back at once, and to discharge strike breakers to make this possible, constitutes discrimination against the union.

309 Strikers Register for Jobs at City Plant Union Members to Be Taken Back Starting With Afternoon Shift Tomorrow, Bleaching Officials Say. Three hundred and nine members of the United Textile Workers of America, whose four-week strike against the Indianapolis Bleaching Company ended yesterday, registered for re-employment today at the company’s plant, 900 West Wabash street.

The workers, who will be taken back beginning with the afternoon shift tomorrow, registered by departments with a representative of the union’s Local No. 2096 at each registration table with company officials. Charles A. Young, plant manager, has said that reinstatement will be in order of application with men with families given preference where possible. The plant’s action in putting the approximately 225 men and women who will be returned to work at once on the second shift will keep them separated from employes who worked through the strike and who, to the strikers, still are “scabs” and “strike breakers.” There was no disorder during the registration. Charles P. Drake, union business agent, and other strike leaders circulated through the crowd. Both workers and plant officials seemed highly pleased with the fact that the return to work actually had begun. The plant, hard hit by the strike, has been operating on one shift throughout. With the return of the strikers, two thirty-hour shifts will work in the mill and one forty-hour shift in the bleachery proper. Additional men will be added as the plant's orders have been increased, Mr. Young has said. The 309 who registered provided the first real check on the actual number of men who participated in the strike. The figure had been set as high as more than 400 by strike leaders and considerably lower than 300 by mill officials. Since a few strikers broke ranks during the last few days of the prolonged walkout, it is believed that actually more than 350 may have been engaged in the strike at one time or another. In superior court a habeas corpus action designed to free Francis Barron, picket held in $5,000 bail on vagrancy charges as a result of disturbances at the plan last week, was dropped after the city agreed to reduce the bail to SI,OOO. The habeas corpus argument was to have been heard by Judge Clarence E. Weir. GREEN IS RENOMINATED Rhode Island Governor Named by Democrats Amid Boos. By United Press PROVIDENCE. R. 1..

has been reached, he said. The Coffin candidate defended his nomination by terming Judge John W. Kern the “hand-picked candidate of the city hall machine.” He made some vague references to “an iron hand that dictated the Kern nomination and surrounded it by a hurrah about factionalism.” a Apparently attempting an indirect defense to Judge Kern's indictment of the disgraceful Republican administration of John L. Duvall, the Coffin candidate for mayor said that he, too. could “rattle the bones of Democratic disasters.” He didn't say what they were, nor was the name of Coffin mentioned. Gavin L. Payne. Tnjelfth district chairman, called the rally to order and an invocation was pronounced by the Rev. Ambrose Dunkel, pastor of the Tabernacle Presbyterian church. Harry E. Yockey, chairman of the county speakers' bureau, presided and introduced city and county candidates. Don B. Irwin, state chairman, introduced state candidates. In addition to the principal speakers. those who made short talks are Ralph Scott, Eleventh district nominee to congress: Delbert O. Wilmeth. Twelfth district congressional nominee; Mrs. Bloomfield Moore, county vice-chairman; M. Bert Thurman, and Mr. Payne,

INSULL GOES ON TRIAL ON FRAUD CHARGES; JURY OF FARMERS IS SOUGHT

CARDHUS ARE FAVORED, 53, TOiraES Betting Even on Opener; Frischmen Practice on Navin Field. By United Press DETROIT, Oct, 2.—Arrival of the Cardinals from St. Louis today completed the world series layout. The rival clubs, the Cards and the Detroit Tigers, planned final practices. The Tigers went to the park this morning for a batting tuneup, while the Cards were to hold a lengthy session beginning at 1:30. This is the time that the series games here tomorrow and Thursday will be started and the Cards want to learn something about the lights and shadows of Navin field. The series brought a tremendous boom to Detroit business—too much of a boom, in fact, for harassed hotel clerks were forced to refuse accommodations for “good” customers who had neglected to make reservations. Not one of the larger hotels in the downtown sector had even one vacant room today and there are hundreds upon hundreds of fans expected tomorrow. Restaurants were crowded, taxi drivers busy and other transportation facilities were working overtime. The ticket situation was worse than the hotel problem. It was impossible to buy reserved seats at the box office. Scalpers were doing business near leading hotels. A price of $35 for sets of three tickets seemed to be the average price speculators asked and got. The sets originally cost $16.50. Some were asking SSO a set. The weather was beautifully clear with a bright sun, but there was a distinct autumn chill and cooler weather was forecast. Latest betting odds showed the Cards favorites for the series at 5 to 3, a lengthening of the overnight price of 6 to 5. At noon today it was even money on the first game whereas the Tigers were favored for this game at odds of 6 to 5, in the last quotes given last night. Manager Frisch of the Cardinals said Dizzy Dean “might” pitch, but that no choice had been made and that none would be made before tomorrow. It was believed possible Frisch might try to cross up Mickey Cochrane by using Paul Dean or Wild Bill Hallahan.' Cochrane, while leaking no announcement, was beliived still sticking with his earlier choice of Schoolboy Rowe.

Mrs. Vanderbilt Led Gay Life in Paris, Maid Says All-Night Cocktail Parties and Presence of Alleged Obscene Books Recalled in Child Custody Suit. By United Press .. . NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—A dark-haired French maid, who had difficulty understanding the American word “hangover,” told Supreme Court Justice John F. Carew today that she had seen Mrs. Gloria Morgan V anderblit intoxicated on various occasions. Tho tt.imnnv was eiven in Mrs. ! .

Vanderbilts legal battle to regain custody of her 10-year-old daughter, Gloria. The maid was Maria Caillot, w’ho testified after the child's nurse, Mrs. Ella Sullivan Keiflich, had been recalled to answer questions concerning Mrs. Vanderbilt's attitude toward her daughter. Yesterday Mrs Keiflich told of the gay life of Mrs. Valderbilt In European society, where she was a close freind of one Prince Hohenlohe. Gloria, the $4,009,000 heiress, now is at the home of her aunt, Mrs Harry Payne Whitney. Mrs. Vanderbilt is opposed by Mrs. Whitney and Mrs. Laura K. Morgan, mother of Mrs. Vanderbilt, in her efforts to regain custody. “Did she (Mrs. Vanderbilt) appear to ever have a hangover?” Justice Carew asked Miss Caullot. “Better say that in French,” interposed counsel for Mrs. Whitney. “I can't; can you?” the judge replied. “Did you ever see h>* drunk?” “Yes.” The witness testified that cocktail parties at 5 o’clock was the usual procedure when Mrs. Vanderbilt was at home in Pans.

Twelve Seated Temporarily to Hear Evidence in Government’s Case Against Fallen Capitalist. UTILITY CZAR PREDICTS ACQUITTAL Sixteen Others Face Court for Alleged Use of Mails to Defraud Investors in Securities Empire. CHICAGO, Oct. 2.—Samuel Insull, the glint of battle in his deep-sunk eyes, came into federal court today to stand trial in connection with the greatest industrial debacle of the century— the collapse of his $2,000,000,000 utility empire. A jury of farmers and small business men was tentatively accepted this afternoon to sit in the trial oi Insull and his sixteen codefendants.

DEFENSE RESTS IN DEAN CASE State’s Rebuttal Testimony Will Be Presented This Afternoon. The defense rested its case for Edward (Foggy* Dean, accused of the submachine gun murder of Police Sergeant Lester Jones in a garage holdup last year, at noon today with the peculiar stipulation that the state agree that Dean had a mustache at the time of his arrest. The defense has been attempting to point its alibi'for Dean by prrrring that the alleged gunman had a mustache at the time of the holdup while the state witnesses said that the killer was smooth-shaven. Dean’s relatives yesterday testified that Dean was asleep in his father’s home at 828 Woodlawn avenue when the crime was committed. John Dean, the accused man’s brother, underwent a gruelling cross-examination after he had testified that he had slept with Foggy the night and morning of the crime. John fidgeted in his chair and swung his hands nervously as Floyd Mattice. chief deputy prosecutor, tore ruthlessly into his testimony. The brother admitted that although he remembered Foggy’s action the night of the crime, that he could not remember where the alleged bandit was on the iflfeht of two previous holdups. Charles T. Talkington. a barber of 942 Sanders street, testified that he had seen Dean two days before the crime and that he had had a mustache at that time. Thomas Turner, Beech Grove, made a similar statement. The last defense witness Mrs. Ellen Bankhart. Dean's sister, told of visiting her brother in his home at Traders Point a month after the crime. Mr. Mattice expected to present rebuttal testimony this afternoon. Summations and jury instructions bv Special Judge Clyde Jones were expected to occupy the remainder of the afternoon. Play Lecture Scheduled The Theater Guild drama. "Biographies,” which starred Ina Claire, will be discussed by Volney Hampton tonight in a second of a series of lectures at the Indiana university extension division, 122 East Michigan street. *

and that some of the parties lasted until 5 or 6 in the morning. “Sometimes there were three bands,” she testified. Smythe directed the questioning to the books which a previous witness had termed "filthy.” The maid said she had noticed six or seven of these books around the house. “What kind of books were they?” “They were very dirty." The witness said she had seen Mrs. Vanderbilt In the company of A. C. Blumenthal on June 16, 1933, the day before Mrs Vanderbilt sailed on the Eruopa. On the second day, the maid testified, she learned that Blumenthal’s stateroom was three rooms away from Mrs. Vanderbilt’s. "They were together all the time,” she said. On five or six occasions Mrs. Vanderbilt was served champagne in the bedroom of her New York home around 6 p. m. The maid said a man was present on each occasion. She had not seen the man, but heard his voice, she said. Justice Carew asked the maid how Mrs. Vanderbilt was dressed after each of these occasions. “She was in negligee,” Miss Calllot replied.

. After a temporary seating of the jurors, government and defense attorneys began a rigid questioning of them. Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson. garbed in black judicial robes and toying with its black cord, sat quietly as the indictment was read. To all appearances the trial of Insull —unfoiding the drama of an English lad who rose from a bookkeeper's bench in a London office to fabulous wealth—held no more interest for him than the everyday routine of his court. The 74-year-old Insull, at the end of a weary odyssey which carried him almost around the world in flight from the law, listened attentively as the clerk read the charges rapidly. Indictment Is Read They recited that the defendants, all of whom rode to riches on the crest of the Insull wave, were guilty of using the United States mails to defraud trusting investors. Glittery promises were mailed to thousands of persons, the government charged, to sell $143,000,000 in stock of the Corporation Securities Company. The Securities unit was a major link of the Insull empire that, reached into twenty-thr&e states. Insull. seated thirty feet from the mahogany bar of justice shined to the luster of a mirror, cocked a hand to his ear to hear the indictment read. “How is your health, Mr. Insull?’* asked a newspaper man, walking over to him from the specially-con-structed press table. “Oh, I feel fine,” he answered curtly. “Yes, I feel swell.” A moment later he remarked that he was sure he would be vindicated. “I fear the length of the trial more than the outcome,” he added. Mrs. Insull, the former Gladys Wallis of the stage who won the heart of the young Insull when he saw her in “The School for Scandal” nearly a half century ago, was not in court. Son Is Defendant On a bench just behind the courtroom s railing sat the seventeen defendants, close enough to their attorneys to whisper occasional comments as selection of a jury was begun. Besides Insull they are: Harold L. Stuart, president of Halsey, Stuart & Cos., investment firm that dealt in Insull securities. Stanley Field, banker and nephew of the late Marshall Field, Chicago merchant. Charles B. Stuart, vice-president of Corporation Securities Company, the stock holding apex of the Insull utilities empire. Frank K. Schrader, director of Corporation Securities. Charles W. Sills, vice-president of Corporation Securities. Fred H. Scheel, vice-president of Utility Securities Company. Robert W. Waite, vice-president, and treasurer of Utility Securities Company. Frank R. Evers, secretary of Utility Securities. George A. Kemp, assistant secretary of Utility Securities. Waldo F. Tobey, counsel for Corporation Securities. Clarence R. Whitworth auditor for Corporation Securities. Edward J. Doyle, president of the Green Is Prosecutor Commonwealth Edison Company. Clarence T. Mac Neille, secretary and treasurer of Corporation Securities. Philip J. McEnroe, vice-president of Corporation Securities. John E. O'Keefe, assistant secretary of Corporation Secunties. Samuel Insull Jr., director of many Insull companies. Th£ burden of proving the alleged fraud will fall chiefly upon Dwight H. Green, United States district attorney, and a staff especially augmented for the trial. Heading a battery of legal experts in defense of Insull and his asso* ciates was Floyd E. Thompson. If convicted on all the counts voted against them by a grand jury the seventeen defendants could be sentenced to 125 years imprisonment and fines of $250,000 each.
