HAUPTMANN'S ALIBI OUTLINED BY ATTORNEYS Lindbergh Servants and Gangsters May Be Blamed. (Continued From Face One) that Col. Lindbergh had proof he was in contact with them. 3 That envy and enmity for the Lindberghs among the Sourlands hill people may have inspired the kidnaping. * 4. That the crime was plotted by underworld characters, well known to such New York bootlegging circles as those in which Salvatore Spitale and Irving Bitz were minor chieftains. 5.

That Isidor Fisch, the deceased fur cutter who had some vague business association with Hauptmann, was a participant and the instrument through which Hauptmann became innocently involved. Today, three days after the German phinx strode vigorously into the Hunterdon County courtroom, to sit silently and heard himself branded the murderer, both prosecution and defense had presented a clear —and startling picture oi what each hopes to convince the jury of common-sense men and women is the truth. On the one hand there were the clean-cut words of Col. Lindbergh, a serious but boyish figure as he sat, cross-legged but with intense mien, on the witness stand and gave the dramatice sequence of events as they occurred from the evening of March 1, 1932, when he came home to find his child ill—and later to discover the empty crib. Col. Lindbergh, in answer to two direct questions, has declared his belief that Bruno Hauptmann is the kille r of his child. He said, first, that the voice of the ransom snatcher in the Bronx was that of the prisoner. He said, again, that it is his belief that Hauptmann kidnaped the child. Defense Attack Sensational Against those declarations, the defense has attacked, more heatedly than had been expected, and with insinuations that brought gasps of astonishment from spectators within the ancient courtroom, every point of the Lindbergh testimony. It sought to throw doubt on the efficiency and truthfulness of the New r Jersey State Police. It insinuated that Betty Gow, the Scottish nursemaid who watched over the baby from its birth, knew more than lias been exposed. It sought to portray Col. Lindbergh as a deluded father, badly fooled by the police and other crime hunters, who is mistaken in all his conclusions. The photographic home picture presented to the jury by the state’s witnesses, from Anne Morrow Lindbergh down to Mrs. Elsie Whately widow of the late butler in the Lindbergh menage—the butler who received the police and newspaper men at Hopewell on the night of the tragedy with grave and solemn expressions of pity and concern—was one of peace and contentment. The one presented by the defense is one of internal intrigue, of undercurrents of illicit love-making, and of something even more sinister, perhaps villainous plotting that had its tragic end in the Hopewell tragedy. Witnesses Are Unshaken Thus far, in the startling story as it has been unfolded, first by the courageous Anne Lindbergh and thereafter by her husband and some of the minor characters in the drama, the prosecution stoutly has resisted all the defense's efforts to force a single witness either to change his story or to admit that a different interpretation could be placed upon it. Lindbergh has flashed back indignant answers to Edward J. Reilly's red-faced suggestions that he had. within his menage, a single disloyal servant. The play of passion that is evident in the Aash of testimony has gone completely over the head of the thin-lipped prisoner, who sits, blankly facing his accusers, between two stalwart state troopers and a deputy sheriff. The eyes of the entire audience in the rapidly moving drama constantly move from the witnesses in the antique chair beside Justice Thomas W. Trenchard's bench, to Hauptmann, whose well-knit frame appears almost lost in the crowd of counsellors, witnesses and newspaper correspondents surrounding him. Expression Never Changes Then their eyes turn back, for after all there is little to see. He is a perpetual enigma, staring, staring, staring into —what? It happens, under the circumstances that brought about a distribution of scats in this absorbing drama, that this correspondents's chair is within 12 inches of Hauptmann's broad back. I could reach out and touch him. Sitting so close to him. with a view of his profile, an occasional glance into the deep pockets of his sunken blue eyes, and an opportunity to observe the flex of his muscles, one has a chance Jo observe at close range the complete inflexibility of his mr cles. There is a little vein that runs from above his ear down through his thins jaw. to his neck. There is a pulsation of the blood stream through this vein. It is regular even, pumping at a never-increasing rate. At the upper hinge of his jaw there is a muscle that occasionally, but only occasionally, tightens as though he were swallowing something. Those small movements are the only reflexes in his system, so far as a man one foot away can see. And even when there are charges hurled at him from the stand, the pulsation continues at the same regular, even rate. He might be a visitor at the trial. It is said that when Hauptmann goes back to his cell at night his attitude changes—that quick nervousness replaces his stolidity. That is true. But no one can tell, at this writing, whether this change of pace is due to a consciousness of guilt, or to the ever-present dread of death.

MEAT THEFT IN U. S. WAREHOUSE IS TRACED TO RELIEF WORKERS

By I nih and Press CHICAGO, Jan. s—Something like a ton of meat was disappearing daily from a relief commission warehouse. Relief authorities summoned police. Last night 82 relief clients employed in the warehouse, where from one to four million pounds of meat are kept for distribution, were searched as they quit work. Thirty-two were found to be loaded with slabs of veal, pork and beef. Steaks were tied around the pilferers’ waists, roasts were hidden in trouser legs and great bundles of chops concealed in hats.

Indiana in Brief

MARION. Jan. 5. —Mayor Carl F. Barney, who is faced with the task of rescuing the city from financial straits, has demonstrated that he is taking his task seriously. Instead of appointing a municipal judge he is filling that position himself, together with his other duties. During his first court session he fined tv.o men who were charged with theft of some coke from the Atlas foundry $1 each and costs. He also gave them suspended sentences of six months each. A $1 fine was imposed on the first 1935 defendant charged with intoxication. Mayor Barney hopes to be able to present pay checks to the members of his administration when the first pay day comes on Jan. 15, but because of the unfortunate condition of the city treasury he will be unable to do so unless a hoped-for check arrives from the state excise department. Meanwhile, he is busy seeking methods of satisfying Mari.n’s many creditors.

ASSEMBLY TO SPREAD STATE RELIEF BURDEN 12 Millions Are Needed to Carry Out Plan of Roosevelt. The Indiana General Assembly, which convenes here next week, to- ! day faced the necessity of enacting legislation providing for an additional $12,000,000 relief load in 1935. This fact was made known today in statements of Gov. Paul V. McNutt and Wayne Coy, director of Indiana relief, following a study of j the new relief program presented by President Roosevelt in his address to Congress yesterday. The added burden, a large share of which will fall on the counties themselves, will be in providing relief for those persons classed as “unemployables.” Ail others will be assisted through Federal work relief and state relief channels. The general plan of legislation to be demanded of the legislature will embody a wider spread of the statewide relief load among counties which are financially able to help the smaller and poorer governmental units, the Governor said. Pointing out that many counties already are in a position to bear their share of the additional sl,000,000 per month relief load, the Governor said there are many others which will have to depend entirely on Federal and state agencies. That the plan is certain to meet with difficulties, especially if new legislation hinges on exceeding the $1 and $1.50 tax limits, was indicated by the Governor. Mr. Coy said he expected the December total of 125,000 families on relief to continue for the next fOw months. The total represents approximately 450,000 persons, or one out of every six citizens in the state. During the past year, Mr. Coy said, an average of $4,000,000 per month was spent in Indiana on relief. Os the figure, the Federal agencies supplies $3,000,000 and the state $1,000,000. In outlining plans for relief administration for 1935, Mr. Coy sounded a warning to new'ly elected township trustees w'ho have not yet signed agreements with Federal relief agencies for administration of relief in their respective townships. Mr. Coy said approximately 500 newly elected trustees will take office in Indiana Monday, and added that, if all agreements are not signed by that date, relief will halt immediately in the respective townships. Mr. Coy said one of his department’s first jobs will be to classify the employable and unemployables. He said he expects to receive instructions from the Federal Emergency Relief Administration w'ithin a few days. DEMOCRATS ORGANIZE NEW DEALERS GROUP Association Will Support President and Recovery Program. Formation of the New Dealers Democratic Association has been announced by Frank L.

The association will be self-supporting and will work in harmony with the local Democratic organization, supporting candidates indorsed by the regular county, state and national Democratic organization.

M'NUTT FORCES FACE REVOLT IN NEW ASSEMBLY Lack of Patronage. Sturdier Opposition by G. 0. P. Are Handicaps. BY JAMES DOSS Times Staff Writer Lacking the prospect of lucrative appointments as an incentive, the 1935 Indiana General Assembly may not submit to the cracking of the administration whip with the same celerity as that shown by the 1933 legislature. There are several indications that the administration program may be in for harder going this year. First of all, the Republican minority is a far more potent factor. It's much larger, and most political observers believe that its leadership is much more capable. Ruled With Firm Hand During the 1933 session, the tiny Republican minority might rage impotently and then cast its vote solidly against an administration project. but that's all there was to it. The administration had the power to suspend the rules and, in general. do just about as it pleased. Gov. Paul V. McNutt and his legislative outriders had the necessary sheer power and. if the rumblings of discontent among the Democratic majority grew above a whisper, there always was some way to fix things up with patronage promises. More than a score of Representatives and Senators, significantly or not, were given more or less important Statehouse posts after the session. rieas Put on Spot This year, however, there aren’t all those jobs to dispense, which puts Pleas Greenlee, the Governor's patronage dispenser, in somewhat of a tough spot. Thus, with the prospect of personal reward not as appealing as it was in 1933 when the administration had more to offer, the Democratic members of the 1935 Assembly can afford to be a little more sensitive than their predecessors. The 1933 legislature, notably the House, has €>een termed “the most spineless legislature in Indiana’s history.” Nolody likes to be called spineless, of all things, and some members of the new Assembly are showing a somewhat restive attitude in advance. Stein Selection Resented As one new member of the house puts it: “I’m ... if I’m going to do just exactly what I'm told because I'm a Democrat.” There was some discontent when the Democrats caucused early in December and then decided on Senator Jacob Weiss, Indianapolis, as President Pro Tern, of the upper house, and Rep. Edward H. Stein, Bloomfield, for speaker of the House. The caucus, of course, Is not binding, because the heads of the two Houses must be elected on the first day of the session. The discontent apparently was directed almost entirely by the Stein choice, rather than at Senatt r Weiss and there were threats that Rep. Stein" might be “unseated” when the House convenes. Reisinger Leads Revolt The abortive revolt against Rep. Stein is being led by Rep. Jacob Reisinger, Evansville, who has tried to enlist the Republican minority. The administration does not take his efforts seriously. With administration leaders almost sure to be at the head of both Houses, the administration program apparently is not endangered. However, lacking the power to suspend the House rules, confronted with a larger Republican minority led by the perspicacious James M. Knapp, Hagerstown, as floor leader, and with the possibility of some rebellion in Democratic ranks, the Governor’s advisers will have to proceed cautiously, to siy the least.
