THREE BRAND HAUPTMANN AS BABY'S SLAYER Attractive Model Testifies She Saw Suspect Watching Condon. (Continued From Page One) Reilly asked the slightly deaf expert. "You have a penetrating clear voice and I will not deed my apparatus to hear you.’’ Ordinarily Mr. Osborn wears a little ear phone, wih wires running down into his vest, where batteries are concealed Then a moment later Mr. Reilly said: “Now doctor or professor ” “I am neither doctor nor professor," Mr. Osborn said. “There are so many titles running around I thought you might have one.” Mr. Reilly replied. Then Mr. Reilly turned to the question of handwriting authorities. He narmd several and Mr. Osborn s : comments were varied. "I would not say he wrote a t-ook it was an advertising pamphlet,” j he said of one so-called expert. "Now you have written several | books Do you consider yourself an expert?" Mr. Reilly asked.

Compensation Is Asked "I don't call myself an expert, but other people are permitted to,” Mr. Osborn replied. "That is for the world to judge.” Mr. Reilly was hammering at what the defense contended were too few handwriting exhibits submitted by the expert. “I could have made a hundred, but I couldn’t bring them into the courtroom." Mr. Osborn said. “Don't you think you could jam the courtroom with exhibits when a man is on trial for his life or death?” the Brooklyn attorney then asked. A üb: quent question on Mr. Osborn s compensation was objected to and ustafned. Mr. Osborn, however. sold he was “perfectly willing” to disclose this. Admits Making .Mistake "How much are you getting paid for your testimony?” Mr. Reilly asked. “So far,” Mr. Osborn replied “There has been no discussion of compensation.” Then he added hastily: "I have full confidence, however in the State of New Jersey.” Q —Now, Mr. Osborn, you have made mi takes in your diagnosis? A—l don’t pretend to be infallible, but I do intend to be careful. Mr. Osborn said the evidence was so overwhelming in the ransom j notes, that he was certain of his conclusions. Mr. Rrillv continued his attack on Osborn's testimony. He named! several handwriting court cases and| asked the expert if he remembered; them. Losses in Few Cases “That was 30 years ago and I’ve forgotten lots of things in the past 30 years,” Mr. Osborn said. Mr. Reilly's attempt to discredit Mr. Osborn as a handwriting expert was not making much headway, so Mr. Osborn leaned forward and said: “If veu want to know, Mr. Reilly, whe’her there have ever been court decisions made against my judg-t ment. I will tell you that there have been.” Q—How many? A—So few' that it shocks me when it happens. I should say about one in 20. Mr. Osborn was excused from the stand, subject to recall later for further cross-examination in regard to Isidor Fisehs handwriting.

baby, state's attorneys assembled a : score or more witnesses who will, j they believe, completely shatter Hauptmann's defense. The state believes Hauptmann will try to prove that Lsidor Fisch, dead German furrier, wrote the ransom notes and gave him the ransom money found in his possession at the time of his arrest. It also was known that Hauptmann would attempt to prove he was nowhere near Hopewell and the home of the Lindberghs, March 1, 1932, the. night the baby was stolen. New Jersey, it was said authoritatively, is prepared to disprove beyond question all these alibis. Friends of both Hauptmann and Fusch will testify that Hauptmann i met Fisch the first time months ifter the kidnaping. Other witi nesses will testify that Hauptmann was spending Lindbergh money after Fisch returned to Germany and months before he says he found the money in a package Fisch had left with him. Arming in New York on the lie De France tomorrow are Pinkus and Hannah Fisch, brother and sister of i the deceased furrier. They will testify that Fisch died penniless, bequeathing, not Lindbergh money, but a lengthy list of debts. Two other witnesses are in the European party chaperoned by Albert Johnson, New York City detective. But the state guarded their identity. Hauptmann Is Nervous One was believed to be a German hospital nurse who attended Fisch on his death bed. All were; intended to be “surprise” witnesses, but the United Press reported their departure from Le Havre, Fiance, last week. Hauptmann returned to court from a restless week-end in his cell. We was said to be increasingly nervous with revelation, step by step, of New Jersey's case against him, which was reported much stronger than anticipated by defendant or his counsel. As the third week of the trial opened, this country town, enjoying 1 its first appearance in the world i spotlight, was enlivened by a number of street rumors. One said one of the jurors was ill and might not be able to continue. This was based on the fact that Rosie Coneour, one of the jury’s guards, received medical treatment last night for an infected toe. Ladder Testimony Near Another rumor said the State had | offered to give Hauptmann life im-: prisonment if he would confess and | name his accomplices. This gave' officials a hearty laugh. The testimony of hand-writing, experts continuing today was expected to last until Wednesday, perhaps until Thursday. They will be followed by other expert witnesses who will say they can trace the “kidnap ladder” from Hauptmann's workshop in the Bronx to the nursery window of the Lindbergh home. Arthur Koehler, of the United, States Department of Agriculture. j who for 30 months used microscopes. ! test tubes, and other laboratory j equipment Jo discover the source of •he lumber used in the ladder, will j b" one of the state's most spectacular witnesses.

the witness stand, to testify to having had possession of the ladder. His spectacular testimony, which will read like a Scotland Yard mystery story, has been reserved for his second appearance. Ladder Story Denied By United I'rcss FLEMINGTON, N. J., Jan. 14. Joseph Lanigan, chief Assistant Attorney General, today discounted the story of Abraham Samuelsohn, Bronx carpenter, who claimed he made the ladder used by the Lindbergh kidnapper “We have checked on Samuelson and sc far as building the ladder is concerned, it appears to me to be the bunk,” he said.

DROUGHT COCKTAIL RECIPE EXPLAINED Rain Shortage Is Factor, Says Water Cos. Ever have a drought cocktail? Go to your water tap, draw a glass of w'ater, drink it! You just had one. It may be musty, but it's pure. It's this way, according to Indianapolis Water Cos. officials. The 1934 drought jvas the most severe of. recent years and the year closed with 38 per cent deficiency in rainfall. So there is less water in the streams of the state and watershed, to the point that White River, which supplies the city with its water. reached a record low point last August. It has raised some by now, but still is remarkably low. This means less water to absorb the gases rising from the river bottom, so the gases are more pronounced in the little water there is and that is what you taste. Added to this special drought condition is the perennial condition that arises from ice and snow and puts anew taste in the water. Later on you’ll catch the oil-bear-ing synura, a tarty little water bug, but that can wait, OFFICERS INSTALLED BY WOMEN'S GROUP Hovey Chapter of Relief Corps Announces Elections. The Alvin T.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

WHEELER URGES R. R. OPERATION BT GOVERNMENT Drafts Bill Putting End to Private Ownership of U. S. Lines. By Rcrippg-H award Seicspaycr Alliance WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.—For the first time since the war, public ownership of railroads today gave promise of becoming a, major issue in Congress. Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana, new chairman of the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee, said that within two weeks he would present a bill for nationalization of the railways. He would not say how he proposed to make the purchase, nor what the Administration’s attitude is. It is believed the Wheeler bill will follow the tentative suggestions made a year ago by Joseph B. Eastman, Federal Co-ordinator of Transportation. Mr. Eastman did not urge purchase except as an ultimate solution. But he outlined a tentative plan. A Government corporation to be knowm as the United States Railways would issue guaranteed bonds to buy the rail properties. The roads would be administered by five highly paid trustees, aided by 24 advisers. Senator Wheeler said the roads could be purchased either through negotiation or condemnation. Investments in American rail lines total some 24 billions, but the market value of their stocks and bonds is hardly more htan half of that. Would Stabilize Value “My plan would stabilize the value of rail holdings in insurance companies and savings banks, result in unification of the systems, and halt the banker-speculator control of the world’s greatest transportation system,” Senator Wheeler said. “Ultimately it would mean more work for rail employes, and cheaper freight rates. “Outside of England, ours is about the only country where railways are privately operated.” A year ago, Cc-Ordinator Eastman thought the country was financially unprepared for taking over the rails. Since then, sentiment for public ownership has been rising. Adding fuel to this feeling are the current arguments before the Interstate Commerce Commission, in which the carriers are urging freight rate increases in the face of the Government’s attempt to hold down costs to help its rehousing program and the heavy industries. The rails ask increases totalling $117,000,000 a year. This they say, "is necessitated by the restoration of wage cuts, the rise in material costs, and other factors. The ICC has sharply criticised some of the big railways for spending more than $84,000,000 in four depression years for advertising, legal fees and outside accounting jobs.” Owe $437,000,000 To U. S. The railroads owe the RFC 317 millions and P\VA some 130 millions. The roads have defaulted on some Its billions of bonds. Rail labor, for the first time, is veering toward public operation. On Jan. 3, F. H. Fljozdal, head of the maintenance-of-way men, came out for Government ownership. “Under Government ownership public credit would take the place of crippled private credit,” he said. “The railroads would not pay such high interest. Some of the millions saved could be used to provide work, buy rails, ties and ballast and improved rolling stock, now badly needed. Public ownership would end destructive competition.” The railroad workers’ weekly, Labor, says: “A strong sentiment that Government ownership is the real solution of the railroads’ ills is developing on\ Capitol Hill.” K. OF C. UNIT TO MEET Home Association Stockholders to Hold Session Tonight. Stockholders of the Knights of Columbus Home Association will meet tonight in the Home and elect directors to succeed Harry E. Caliand, William A.

WATCH KIDNEYS SAME AS BOWELS

Wash Out Your 79,200 Feet of Kidney Tubes Your bowels contain only 27 feet of intestines, yet the kidneys contain nearly 10 million tiny tubes or filters which would measure 79,200 feet if laid end vo end. Therefore, it is just as important to watch I the kidneys as the bowels. Kidneys are i working ail the time and are Nature s chief way of taking the acid3 and poisonous waste out of the blood. Healthy persons pass 3 pints a day thru the bladder which contains nearly 4 pounds of waste matter. If you pass less than this amount, your 79.200 feet of kidney tubes may be clogged with poisonous waste. This is the danger signal and may be the beginning of nagging backache, leg pains, loss of pep and vitality, getting up nights, lumbago, swollen feet and ankles, rheumatic ; pains and dizziness. , Kidneys should be watched closely and need cleaning out the same as bowels. Ask | your druggist for DOAN'S PILLS, an old ; prescription, which has been used successfully by millions of kidney sufferers for over 40 years. They give quick relief ar.d will help to wash out your 79,200 feet of kidney tubes , But don't take chances with strong drugs and so-called “kidney cures” which claim to fix you up in 16 minutes. Your common sense will tell you that this is impossible Treatments of this nature may seriously injure and irritate delicate tissues. Insist on DOAN’S PILLS, the old reliable relief that I contains no “dope” or habit-forming drugs. Be sure you get DOAN'S PILLS at your druggist, C 1934, Foster-Milbum Cos. e-Utdvertisement.

Mr. Grosart said that the children should be afforded fresh air and a large playground. Mr. Vorhies said that, since children never were detained at the home more than three months, it would not be necessary to provide a suburban site. The oldest fruit known to mankind is the olive.
