CARDS LEAD TIGERS IN SECOND GAME

HAUPTMANN MAPS OF KIDNAP SCENE FOUND BY PROBERS Diagrams of Roads Around Lindbergh Home Are Taken From Trunk at Home of Ransom Bill Passer. IMPORTANT EVIDENCE, OFFICIALS SAY Carpenter Had Minute Knowledge of Area Near Hopewell, Foley Declares After Discovery. By United f’rraa NEW Y'ORK, Oct. 4.—A trunk owned by Bruno R. Hauptmann this afternoon .yielded what authorities considered one of the most important pieces of evidence in the Lindbergh case—road maps of the Sourland mountain district from which Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. was kidnaped. District Attorney Samuel Foley of Bronx county, which holds Hauptmann on extortion charges as recipient of ransom money, announced the discovery and said that Hauptmann had a minute knowledge of the area from which the child was abducted and where he was later found slain.

Since the prisoner’s arrest,] effort of investigators to! place Hauptmann at the scene of the crime or to link him di-i rectly with the kidnaping has been one of their outstanding and most difficult problems. Mr. Foley said Hauptmann was so wpII acquainted with the district in which the Lindbergh home was located that he even could reproduce from memory small roads of certain areas near Hopewell, N. J. The prosecutor obviously considered the discovery of great importance in the attempt of New Jersey to place the suspect at or near the scene of the kidnaping. Dictionuarv Is Found In addition, Mr. Foley said, a German-American dictionary was found at Hauptmann's home. This, he contended, tended to support a theory that the writer of the ransom notes referred to a dictionary. This was suspected because the small, ordinary words were often misspelled, while the longer words—which might have been checked in a dictionary—almost always were spelled correctly. Other roads maps found in the same trunk cover the Martha’s Vineyard-Buzzard's Bay region of the Massachusetts coast. The final ransom note directed Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh to a small boat which would be lying near Elizabeth Island in Buzzard's bay. Although Hauptmann has denied knowledge of that part of the coast. Foley said investigation has shown him within one hundred miles of Elia both island on fishing trips. Other developments in the case today included: Several Face Indictment 1. Disclosure that the Hunterdon county <New Jersey) grand jury, convening Ovt. 11. or the date of Hauptmanns extortion trial in the Bronx, will be asked to charge several persons in the kidnaping, thus confirming the theory that the kidnapers had accomplices. 2. Investigators rounded up scores of persons who have taken in Lind bergh ransom notes in their business in the last two years, hoping that more of them could identify Hauptmann as the passer. Two persons identified him yesterday. The Hunterdon county grand jury will be asked to indict Hauptmann, but the alleged accomplices' names will be left open. Sheriff John E. Curtiss has asked the jurors to arrange their affairs for a possible sudden call before Oct. 11. Degree Staff to Confer Degree staff of Harris lodge 644. Indeoendent Order of Odd Fellows, will confer the first degree at Bloomfield lodge Saturday. Staff members will meet at the hall.

GIGANTIC FRAUD LAID TOINSULL $100,000,000 Conspiracy Is Charged to Magnate and Colleagues. By United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 4.—Losses of $100,000,000 to Insull investors were due to a “simple conspiracy to swindle, cheat and defraud the public.” United States Attorney Dwight H. Green charged today in his opening statement at the mail fraud trial of Samuel Insull and sixteen others. The short, gray-haired attorney outlined the government's case against the man who rose to fame as director of a $2,000,000,000 utility empire and then saw it crash under the weight of the depression. "The government will prove that each defendant had some part to play in this gigantic scheme whereby thousands of people were induced to invest millions of dollars in the stock of this company by means of false and fraudulent representations,” said Mr. Green. Mr. Green said the prosecution’s case would be largely documentary. “The government will have no witness who was within the ’inner ring’ to come here and tell you of the conferences, plans and schemes of these defendants,” he said. “Rather, the government must rely upon the entries into thousands and thousands of books and records of the corporations controlled by these defendants and the records of hundreds of other corporations and banks with which the defendants transacted business.” Mr. Green charged that the Corporation Securities Company of Chicago was the "dumping ground” for stock of Middle West Utilities Company which had been purchased in an alleged effort to maintain the market price when other stocks were crashing under the depression.

‘Little Tigers, You’ve Had a Dizzy Day,’ Warbles Westbrook Pegler

BY WESTBROOK PEGLER Times Feature Writer Detroit, Mich., Oct. 4—The incredible hick from Omaha. Jerome Dizzv) Dean, made good his brag. He opened the world series with a competent victory over the Tigers of Detroit. He said he would and he hauled off and did—and the power of his arrogant name was such that he needn't even have troubled to go out on the mound and exert himself slinging. If Brother Dizzy merely had tossed his glove out there, that would have been enough, for the plain fact of the situation was that he had the Tigers scared of his very initials. Dizzy and the St. Louis Cardinals won 8 to 3 in a spectacle that maintained all the professional and serial traditions of the world series. The Tigers infield, the best in the American League under ordinary conditions, came all unstrung in their debut and performed five of the gaudiest errors ever seen in an annual festival which is supposed to repre-

THE GOOSE HANGS HIGH IN EARLY INN INGS OF FIRST WORLD SERIES BATTLE

Forty-right thousand screaming fans rose to their respective feet and cheered loud and lustily when Goose Goslin, Tigers’ left fielder, opened the second inning of the world series game at Detroit with a single. But Tiger hopes were blighted shortly thereafter, when

E. CHICAGO OFFICERS SHARE U. S. $5,000 . DILLINGER REWARD

By United Pres* WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.—The $5,000 reward offered by the federal government for information leading to the capture of John Dillinger is being divided between two members of the East Chicago (Ind.) police department, Attor-ney-General Homer Cummings announced this afternoon. Os the federal reward, $2,500 each is being given to Captain Timothy A. O’Neil and Sergeant Martin Zarkovitch of the East Chicago police. While federal authorities steadfastly had declined to reveal the exact part the tw r o played in the trapping of Dillinger, the payment of the reward indicated they were considered instrumental in leading federal agents to Dillinger July 9 when he was trapped outside a Chicago theater and killed. As to the mysterious woman in red” in the Dillinger case the at-torney-general said: "I have no knowledge of any woman in red.’ CITY LIGHT BID TO BE EXAMINED THOROUGHLY Investigation Will Precede Any Acceptance, Says Mayor. The bid of the Indianapolis Power and Light Company for supplying current and servicing for municipal lighting at a figure $52,000 above present contract will be investigated thoroughly before the city accepts the terms, if they are to be accepted at all. Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan announced today. Mayor Sullivan pointed out that the current contract does not expire until April 1 and that, if negotiations have not been completed prior to that time, the public service commission will fix temporary rates that will continue until the negotiations could be conclude.*.

He had given only one earned rim in five innings, wherein he had done as well as the majestic Dizzy, himself, when he was taken out. But his ball club was trailing 4 to 1 at the moment and there was urgent need of some hits to balance matters. The pinch hitter, a man by the

Bobbie’s Love Letters Read in Murder Trial Slayer Suspect in ‘American Tragedy’ Case Called ‘Other Girl’ His ‘Angel Wife’ in Passion Notes. By United Press WILKES BARRE, Pa., Oct. 4.—A score of love letters in which Robert A. Edwards wrote in the most endearing terms of his love for “another girl” went into the record this afternoon as the state prepared to close its case charging the 21-year-old mine surveyor with the murder of his sweetheart, Freda McKechnie. Edwards, who pleaded not guilty to charges that he killed Freda, an expectant mother, to free himself for another romance, sat with head

bowed as J. H. Flannery, assistant district attorney, read the letters to the jury. The letters ranged from amorous confessions of his love and plans for future meetings to reminiscences of past meetings at which "we held each other close and both played so long and so hard.” They were addressed to Miss Margaret Crain, a music teacher, whom he called "angel w'ife.” Some were signed “your husband, Bobby.” Father Leaves Courtroom Through the letters, some of them written last April, the state seeks tc prove that Edwards was planning to marry Miss Crain at a time when Freda also expected him to marry her and that, in July, he attempted to solve his troubles by striking Freda with a blackjack while they were swimming at night in a lake. There were many amorous passages in the letters and, during the reading, Edwards’ father abruptly left the court room. In the letters, Edwards detailed meetings at Buffalo, Elmira and Binghamton and elsewhere. “It is magnificent wdien we can be together all the time and . . . never separate,” one letter said. “I love you, sweetest wife. Os course, you Know that. And you treasure me, too. I know that.” Many of the letters related Edwards mental images of his sweetheart and their imaginary meetings “My Own Dear Goddess” “I come to you in my thoughts every day in my life. If I could only find new ways of expressing my love. I get so tired of all the old words and the old ways of saying it.” He called her his “blessed wife,” “sweetest darling” and a hundred other endearments, including “my own dear goddess.” “All of me loves all of you,” was his most frequent quotation. "It is so hard to be without you. I will be so proud of you when we can live together and I can kiss you good-by when I go to work and kiss you when I come home

name of Doljack, popped a fly to center field and a pitcher who had been doing quite as well as Dizzy on a strict comparison of their work, was now ineligible to continue his toil. His relief was Fred (Firpo) Marberry, another reminiscence. The minute Firpo began to pitch. Brother Dizzy saluted him with a double to left. A moment later Dizzy scored the fifth run for his side as Pepper Martin singled behind him. Martin went to second on the throw to the plate and scored run No. 6 soon afterward, crossing the plate with a belly-slide in a cloud of grit as Medwick singled to right. Rip Collins also singled and this confirmed a suspicion that Firpo wouldn't do. He had given four hits and there were still two runners on base. The ball game was gone by now but Bill Delancey, the Cardinals’ catcher, was a pig for runs. Elon Hogsett, an Indian, took Firpo's place and Delancey hit a double which brought in Medwick and Collins. That made eight for the Cardinals and Dizzy.

SCHOOL MUSIC LEADER TO CONDUCT LECTURES Symphony Ticket Holders May Attend Series.

The lectures will be open to those holding season tickets for the symphony concerts. CARDINALS NOW 1-2 FAVORITES IN SERIES St. Louis Betting Commissioner Quotes Tigers at 6 to 5. By United Press ST. LOUIS, Oct. 4.—Tom Kearney, St. Louis betting commissioner, today advanced the Cardinals to 1 to 2 favorites to win the world series from the Detroit Tigers, and dropped the Tigers to 6 to 5 to win. Prior to yesterday’s Cardinal victory, Kearney quoted 7 to 10 on the Cards and even money on the Tigers. BANDITS KILL WOMAN Husband Wanders Five Hours After Slaying, Police Told. By United Pres* MANCHESTER. la., Oct. 4.—Mrs. Reginald Tracy, 52, was slain ruthlessly by highway bandits last night, her husband reported to police today as he staggered into a farmhouse after wandering for five hours in a semi-conscious condition.

THE world series jitters infected the Tigers' infield in the first inning when Marvin Owen, on third base, kicked a grounder from Frank Frisch. This one caused no material damage, but the moral precedent was bad. In the next inning Charlie Gehringer, a stylish and confident ball player for all ordinary purposes, suddenly remembered that they were playing against Dizzy Dean and muffed a toss from Rogell to catch Ernie Orsatti sliding into second. There were two out at the moment and Crowder would have retired the side without damage if Gehringer had held the ball which a little girl might have thrown. But it trickled through Gehringer's hands and there were runners on first and second. Dean was the one who hit the ball to Rogell. Perhaps that was what unnerved the young man. Owen now fielded a slap from Pepper Martin and threw wide to first, pulling Greenberg off the bag and a side which should have been retired now had the bases full. Both Orsatti and Dean

scored on Rothrock's legitimate double to center. The panic increased in the third and another run was kicked in to aggravate the worries of the unhappy Cochrane and complicate the task of General Crowder. On a play at first, Rogell achieved the fourth error for the infield, which was looked upon as the strongest department of the Tigers. He threw the ball into the dugout tiying to head off Collins and the runner went to second. And within two minutes Greenberg let Delancey's grounder go through him to be captured, after a chase, by Gehringer. He threw to the plate but the ball was tardy and Colins waltzed in. The score was 3 to 0, all the runs being due to errors by the great infield, and Mr. Cochrane wagged his head sadly as he fired a few pertinent comments down the line, to Greenberg. n m THERE never was any need to ask who was boss of the ball game. Brother Dizzy was in charge and he was slinging the

Cardinals 0 * 1 Tigers ® ® By United Prrat NAVIN FIELD, DETROIT, Oct. 4.—Mickey Cochrane's Tigers and Frankie Frisch’s St. Louis Cardinals resumed world series warfare here this afternoon. Trailing the Caids by one game as a result of yesterday s sloppily played 8 to 3 defeat, Cochrane pinned his hopes of evening the series upon the sturdy shoulders of Lynwood Rowe, the right-handed “Schoolboy” who was the main reason for the Tiger triumph in the American League race.

DEAN'S FATE IN HANDSOF JURY Death Verdict Is Demanded by State; Courtroom 1 Is Guarded. The case of Edward i Foggy) Dean, charged with murdering Police Sergeant Lester Jones in a garage holdup last year, went to the jury at 11:20 today. The courtroom bristled with an additional detail of police armed with submachine guns and sawedoff shotguns to guard against any possible effort to free Dean. In his charge Judge Clyde Jones explained two possible verdicts, murder committed during a robbery with mandatory death sentence and premeditated murder with a penalty of either life imprisonment or death. Floyd Mattice, chief deputy prosecutor, demanded a verdict for the state “in order that the people may realize that notwithstanding the armed terrors around here, the law is still supreme.” The ghost of John Dillinger arose in the prosecutor's speech as he likened the Mooresville gangster to alleged criminals such as Dean. Dean slouched in a chair nonchalantly, apparently unperturbed. For more than an hour late yesterday, the jurors became students of psychology when Clyde Miller, defense attorney, read at length from text books seeking to convince the jury that innocent men sometimes are identified as criminals. The defense attorney assailed the testimony of Bruce C. Parcels, distribution manager of the Polk Milk Company, who after twenty-one months identified Dean as the bandit who took the keys from his automobile after the robbery of the milk company offices. The lengthy defense argument yesterday upset plans to submit the case to the jury last night. SI 15 Taken From Desk. Dr. Van I. Tucker reported to police today that slls in cash had been stolen from a desk drawer at his office, 216 Pythian building, last night.

ball at the Tigers as though every man of them had done him some great personal wrong. You should see Brother Diz pitch one of his good ones some time. He is big and full of bone and side-meat without a morsel of fat in his carcass and he can fling the ball c o fast it seems to climb over itself in the rush. It takes sudden crazy shoots which are so sharp and wide that even the customers can see the breaks and it is plain that he gets a joyous emotional let-go when the ball obeys him well. He is nagged easily and seems to get quite cross when the hitters offer him impudence in the way of hits but unlike other temperamental masters of the business, he does not let exalperation mar his work. Brother Dizzy sums up as quite a pitcher at this writing, although another year or two may find him poor and forgotten with his arm squandered and his living gone.

Opposed to him was Wild Bill Hallahan, 30-year-old veteran southpaw. Excepting the pitchers, neither manager made any change in the batting orders which started in yesterday’s opener.

There were, however, some 10,000 spectators in the cheaper seats when the Tigers came out for the first general drill. The Tiger fans still were confident in the ultimate success of their cause; they still believe Detroit vail win a world’s baseball championship. something that never before has been accomplished. If the Tigers don’t win this afternoon it probably will be just too bad, for tonight the clubs leave for St. Louis, where- the third and fourth, and. if necessary, fifth game will be played Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Not even the rabid fans who stood in line all night to b among the first into the park today believe that the Tigers could even the count in hostile St. Louis territory. A bright sun was shining today, dispelling much of the early October haze. It was chilly, however, and a nipping northeast breeze whipped through the towering steel and concrete stands. The field again was in perfect condition. Cochrane in Jovial Mood Despite yesterday’s unhappy showing, Manager Cochrane was in a jovial mood today. He joshed tho photographers while posing for pictures with Babe Ruth. Rowe and Hallahan warmed up. Dizzy Dean, the eccentric St. Louis hurler who was yesterday’s winning pitcher, came over to the Tiger dugout, and engaged in some light bantering with the Schoolboy. Rowe just kept on pitching.
