LINDBERGH IDENTIFIES HAUPTMANN AS RANSOM TAKER; RECALLS VOICE

Colonel Calmly Identifies Alleged Slayer of His Kidnaped Baby as Man Who Called to ‘Jafsie.’ GRILLING BY DEFENSE IS STARTED Employe of Family May Have Kidnaped Baby, Suspect's Attorney Hints in Cross Examination. Fy l wt ted Prrft FLEMINGTON, N. J., Jan. 4. The trial of Bruno Richard Hauptmann for the alleged murder of Charles A. Lindberjrh Jr. reached another dramatic climax today when the baby’s father branded the stolid prisoner as the man who swindled him out of $50,000 under promise to return the child alive. And ten minutes after Col. Lindbergh had made his positive declaration, anew sensation was provided by the defense forces, who launched an attack upon his testimony with the inference that members of Col. Lindbergh’s own household might have committed the crime.

Col. Lindbergh’s identifica-. tion of Hauptmann, coming l ' near the close of his recital of, the complete story of the shocking crime, provided the climax for which the crowded Hunterdon County Courthouse—and the outside world —had been waiting. Identification of the flat-cheeked Bronx carpenter with the German! accent as the man who called to j Dr. John F iJafsiei Condon from 1 over a cemetery fence. “Hey. doktor. over here." and who then took the ransom money from the doctor's hands, was by voice only, but Col Lindberch was positive The voice was the voice of Hauptmann," he said. The identification, with which At tv. Gen. David T. Wilentz practically closed Col. Lindbergh s direct examination left the courtroom j rustling with excitement. Before j the audience had recovered the Colonel had been turned over to the vigorous chief defense counsel. Edward J. Reilly of Brooklyn, whd immediately began to attack his story from every angle. Reveal* Counter Theory Bv the noon recess, the prosecution had revealed some of the most vital parts of its case, and the defense had begun a counter moveme.it designed to show that other persons than Bruno Hauptmann could have—and did—kidnap and murder the 20-month-old infant. Insistently and at times with a, tone that brought angry responses from the Colonel. Mr. Reilly bored into the details of Col. Lindbergh's recital. Point by point he went over with him the heart-breaking days at Hopewell after the crime.! and every movement, every action,j every memory of those days. Mr. Reilly revealed a strange counter-theory to the state's charge against his client. By inference, through his questions, he sought to show that two members of the Lindbereh establishment were not above suspicion, and that the police had not investigated their actions sufficiently to absolve them. The two were Betty Oow. the baby's nursemaid, and Oliver Whately. now , dead, the Lindbergh's butler. And by every response he made. Col. Lindbergh showed his faith in his servants and his utter belief that any connection between them j and the crime was unthinkable. The face and posture of Bruno Hauptmann were studies in stolidity throughout the morning of sensations. Stare* at Lindbergh When Lindberch charged him with being the Bronx extortioner, he watched the Colonel's face intently. but did not move a muscle j He sat. staring hypnotically through his deep-sunken blue eyes, absolutely motionless His arms were folded tightly over his chest. There was never a flushing of blood In his cheeks, nor did they take on adidtional pallor when he heard himself described as the extortioner. There was a question in the minds of the spectators as to the effect of i Mr Reilly's close questioning of Col. Lindbergh. General opinion, founded on the fact that the aviator's sharp replies to the Brooklyn lawyer in the matter of the State Police brought, applauding murmurs from the audience of townspeople, seemed to be that anything approaching bullying would react against the defense. Mr. Reilly's attempt to implicate the Lindbergh servants extended to the Morow home in Englewood. "Did you know." he asked Col. Lindbergh, "that there was a chauffeur named Ellinson in the Morrowhome—a man of Scandinavian extraction?” “Yes I knew that," Col. Lindbergh replied Denies Carrying Gun “And did you question him about where he was between 10 p. m. and 3 a. m. on the night of the kidnaping?” "I questioned him. but I can t recall w hat he told me.” Mr Reilly hinted that Violet Sharpa, housemaid in the Morrow | home, who committed suicide, was going aut with Ollie Whatley, the l Turn to Page Six)

FIRE DAMAGES NO. SIDE HOME City Employe Fails to Heed Children’s Warning; Loss Is SISOO. A fiercely burning fire damaged the home of Leland P. Davis. City Building Department employe. 2524 N. Alabama-st. to the extent of SISOO last night, partly, firemen said, because Mr. Davis failed to heed the warning of several neighborhood children. The firemen reported that the •'hildren rushed into Mr. Davis? home and told him that sparks from the chimney had started a fire on the roof. Thinking that the children were playing a prank, Mr. Davis sent them away. When they returned a second time, he investigated and called the Fire Department. The shingle roof was burned off. and the ceiling of upstairs bedrooms caved in because of the heat. Mr. Davis, his wife, and their 10-year-old son. James Davis, all were downstairs at the time. The fire spread to a vacant house next door at 2518 N. Alabama-st. and caused damage to the extent of $250. Battalion Chief Robert Sims directed firemen from Engine House 7. 14 and 8. Fred C. Kennedy, new Indianapolis fire chief, personally directed successful efforts of his department early today to extinguish a twoalarm fire, which threatened the neighborhood around 629 S.

INDIANA BEER ACT IS UPHELD BY BALTZELL Sweeping Victory Is Scored by Lutz in Brewers’ Attack on Law. In a decision of nation-wide significance, Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell today upheld the constitutionality of the Indiana liquor control law, w'hich requires out-of-state brewers to distribute their beer through 10 importers licensed by the state. The law had been attacked by Schlitz Brewing Cos., both of Milwaukee, and Anhauser-Busch, Inc., St. Louis, three of the nation's largest brewers. Sales Not Restricted Judge Baltzell's decision was a sweeping victory for Atty. Gen. Philip Lutz Jr., who defended the action in the Federal Courts. The decision, in addition to holding that the states of the Union have police power to control or abolish the liquor traffic, established the rule that because the out-of-state brewers actually sold their product outside the state, no question of restriction of interstate commerce could be raised. The decision followed a hearing before Judge Baltzell, Judge Louis Fitz Henry. Chicago, of the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, and Federal Judge Thomas W. Slick of the South Bend district. Injunction Is Denied An interlocutory injunction sought by the brewers against Gov. Paul V. McNutt and Paul Henry P. Fry. State Excise Director, was denied by the decision. Upholding the states’ authority to regulate the liquor traffic as it sees fit. Judge Baltzell ruled: A state may even prohibit the liquor traffic in its borders and the state may deal with the liquor traffic under its police powers.” NEW BETHEL CURBS DANGER OF TYPHOID Mew Sanitation Credited by Officer. The little village of New Bethel, plagued for 20 years with typhoid and described once by a state health official as “the dirtiest town in Indiana,” today was given a clean bill of health by Dr. Oscar D. Ludwig, County Health Commissioner. Dr. Ludwig, w'ho said that no typhoid cases had been reported from New' Bethel since the epidemic which centered attention on the village last May and June, declared that vigorous steps taken by New Bethelites. their physicians and Federal, State and county officials were responsible. About 350 residents of the town and surrounding countryside have been immunized through inoculation. Sixty-seven modern, sanitary outdoors toilets have been built with Federal Emergency Relief Administration labor. For this complete clean-up. Dr. Ludwig credited the co-operation of The State Board of Health and the State Board of Engineering with the Federal health unit and the citizens.

Watt Ho! Hoosier Mayor Still *at Large’; Keeps Court in Dark.

BY JOE COLLIER Times Staff Writer Huntington, ind.. Jan. 4 Pursued by Circuit Court minions and hunted desperately by the Northern Indiana Power Cos., Mayor Clare W. H. Bangs of this city today remained impudently "at large." The Mayor, in fact, has remained hippity-skippity in front of the Huntington County Sheriff every day since, from the very moment of his inauguration, Jan. 1. he caused his appointed officers, in violation of a court order, to hook up municipally manufactured electric power to residences formerly served by the Northern Indiana Power Cos. Although Sheriff O. E. Johnson claims he nas worn “a set of good tires” off nis car chasing rumors that the Mayor was here or there, all with no success, the Mayor has been able to be a Mayor in fact while he hovered “in flight” around the city. Two of his appointees, James P. Adkins, superintendent of utilities, and Claude Cline, city attorney, appeared in Circuit Court last night, to show cause why they should not be held in contempt, but the Mayor, also cited to appear, was not there. n n a WHEN his two subordinates entered the courtroom packed with 350 of Huntington’s 14,000 citizens, they were greeted with spontaneous applause and a couple of whistles from the gallery. After evidence was taken. Judge Sumner Kenner announced at 10 p. m. that arguments and the decision would have to wait until 9 tomorrow night. The militant crowd • laughed when Mr. Cline, on the witness stand, mentioned that he had been riding with Mayor Bangs in the downtown district the night before. Mayor Bangs was in his auto riding over Huntington County roads during the hearing, dictating to his stenographer eight colmuns of news and editorial tirade against the Northern Indiana Power Co.'s actions. The dictation appeared on the streets a half hour after the court session in the Mayor’s Huntington News, printed on presses run, because the power company turned off his power, by an old auto engine. President of Huntington College from 1915 to 1919, and a law'yer, Mayor Bangs has been ® foe of what he claims are unreasonable power rates for many of his 44 years. B ft u HE drew his election support through promises that he would immediately make municipal power available to residences and commercial users. Jan. Ihe called a meeting of the council for this purpose and its seven members voted at 1 p. m. to instruct the Works Board to so extend facilities of the municipal plant, in operation since 1885. With the rules suspended, the Works Board voted to extend the facilities and. while hundreds cheered, workmen began installation of municipal power in a home. At 4:45 p. m„ after this was completed, the Sheriff served contempt citations on Mr. Adkins and Mr. Cline and had a restraining order to serve on the Mayor. City employes said they had been called at weird hours and told to do extraordinary things by the Mayor, who appears to be available to all but the Sheriff. n n a THE Mayor announced in his paper that, he intended to supervise the construction of additional municipal equipment, promising that thus “many needy and deserving Huntington citizens will have work for the winter.” In court last night company lawyers were extremely sarcastic about the mayor’s night and rambling sessions, calling him everything but a Night Mayor. Attorney Fred H. Bowers, representing the company, asked one witness who admittedly had seen the mayor, whether the “honorable Mayor said anything about stopping this work that he's pursuing in the middle of the night.” The crowd laughed and the witness said that the “last word the mayor said was to stop the work if it isn't legal.'* To this, a large headline in the mayor’s newspaper said last night: “Mayor Directs Work.” and today. as yesterday, city workmen kept on stringing wires.

This simultaneous world-vride publication of the letters in newspapers parallels the publication last year of "The Life of Our Lord." by Charles Dickens.

HOUSE SURE TO VOTEONBONUS Committee Is Favorable, Check Shows; May Pass, Say Leaders. (Copyright, 1935. bv United Pressl WASHINGTON. Jan. 4.—A poll of the Ways and Means Committee indicated today that the soldiers’ bonus bill would be reported favorably to the House despite President Roosevelt's opposition to cash payment. House leaders believe the bonus bill will be adopted. They have agreed to give it legislative right of way before Feb. 1. Cost of cash payment would be in excess of $2,200,000,000. A favorable ways and means report would mark the first time such legislation reached the floor with -committee approval. Heretofore, since Democrats obtained House control, bonus legislation has been forced to a vote over Administration opposition by petition signed by 145 members. The Ways and Means Committee is composed of 18 Democrats and seven Republicans. Os these 25 committeemen, 10 Democrats and four Republicans definitely favor immediate cash payment. Nine were noncommittal. Two were against. Eleven of the 14 advocates approve of controlled-currency expansion as a. means of paying off the adjusted service certificates.

Already, because of the international excitement caused by the announcement of the discovery of the letters, the neverdying interest in Napoleon has been accelerated. More has been written about Napoleon's marriage to h\s first wife, the Empress Josephine, than about the romance with Marie Louise, because the material was more readily available to historians. The publication of the secret letters, as they will be revealed from day to day in The Times, brings anew story to the world. Heretofore there has been much speculation.

Mew and Enlarged Relief Program Outlined for Congress. PROMISES SOUMD CREDIT Old Age and Unemployment Insurance Backed by Chief Executive. Full text nf the President's speech 1* found on Pare 3. By l nit> and Pro* WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. President Roosevelt charted today for a joint session of Congress the outlines of a new American economic order to make individuals and famiI lies in this country secure. He revealed the New real's second ; phase. Major factors of the program which he asked Congress to enact: 1. Provide every able btxJied individual with a job. 2. Abandon the dole system of relief. 3. Transfer relief of unemployable to local authorities. 4. Old age and unemployment insurance. plus a start toward benefits for children, mothers and others handicapped by dependency or illness. 5. Unification of all emergency public works in anew and greatly enlarged plan. 6. Orderly displacement of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration by the new' emergency works agency. He assured Congress his program would "be w'ithin the sound credit of the Government,.” Mr. Roosevelt spoke in the hall of the House of Representatives. Senators and Representatives jammed the floor. Visitors’ galleries overflowed with a tense crowd eager for this mesage of far-reach-ing consequence. Mr. Roosevelt said the outlines of the new econom.c order had become apparent. He laid dow-n anew policy of living for the American people. In past years, he said, reform had become confused and frustrated because it was attempted in piecemeal fashion. “Asa result,” he continued, “evils overlap. We lose sight, from time to time, of our ultimate human objectives. “In spite of our efforts and in spit of our talk, we have not weeded cut the over-privileged and we have not effectively lifted up the underprivileged.’ Supports Profit Motive But the President said the New Deal had a clear mandate from the American people that excessive profits and undue private power over private and public affairs as well must be foresworn. He said he did not seek to "divide our wealth into equal shares on stated occasions.” “But we do assert,” Mr. Roosevelt continued, “that the ambition of the individual to obtain for him and his a property security, a reasonable leisure, a decent living throughout life, is an ambition to be preferred to the appetite for great wealth and great power.” Mr. Roosevelt committed himself to the “profit motive,” but defined it as the right for the individual to work and earn a decent living for himself and his family. In general terms, Mr. Roosevelt defined three major factors of his security project: 1. Security of livelihood through the better use of national resources. 2. Security against the major hazards of vicissitudes of life. 3. Security of decent homes. Broad Program is Ready “lam now' ready to submit to the Congress,” he said, "a broad program designed ultimately to establish all three of these factors of security—a program which because of many last years will take many, future years to fulfill.” He assured the nation that the public works program which is to absorb the employable jobless millions now on the dole and carry the unemployment burden until private work is available for them would be governed by practical considerations as follows: 1. All work must be useful and designed to create permanent improvement or future new wealth for the nation. 2. Compensation will be in the form of “security payments” larger than the present dole relief, but below wage levels of private employment. 3. Projects will provide a large percentage of direct labor. 4 Preference will be given to selfliquidating projects. 5. Competition between public works and private enterprises will be avoided as far as possible. 6. Project planning shall seek to assure work during the coming fiscal year to employable individual* (Turn to Page Eight) WILLIAM H.
