7 SCRIPT EXPERTS NAME HAUPTMANN AS KIDNAP WRITER Technical Testimony in Lindbergh Case Is Near End as 3 More State Aces Pin Guilt on Bruno. THUMB-GUARD TESTIMONY STANDS Defense’s Plea to Strike Out Story of Ohio Manufacturer Is Denied by Justice; Trial to Be Speeded. ff'f l M’t'd Press FLEMINGTON, N. J.. -lan. 16.—Albert D. Osborn, son of a previous witness, today was the seventh Government expert to charge the writing of the Lindbergh ransom notes against Bruno Richard Hauptmann, accused as the murderer of Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. Mr. Osborn, a 40-year-old replica of h'is distinguished father, added the weight of his handwriting knowledge to six previous experts, and declared, at the start of his testimony, his conviction that the hand that wrote the ransom notes also wrote Hauptmann’s application for an automobile license and the “request” writing, done after his arrest.

Like the previous witnesses, the younger Osborn testified to his belief that the ransom notes were in disguised handwriting, and that the specimens of the prisoner’s handwriting taken after his arrest were also in part disguised. Mr. Osborn followed the outlines of h:s six predecessors in explaining his reasons for condemning the Bronx carpenter. Previously today. Harry E. Cassidy, possessor of an engaging southern drawl and a sense of humor, had enlivened the normally dull scientific testimony bv “wisecracking” at. the examining attorneys. But he had stuck to his prcpostion. and refused to waver under the eross-fxamination of Frederick A. Pope, associate defense counsel. Wilmer Souder, of the United States Bureau of Standards, considered one of the Government's greatest.investigators of handwriting and documents, had followed Mr. Cassidy and delivered a scholarly pronouncement regarding his opinion that Hauptmann tried to disguise his handwriting when he composed the ransom demands. Tedious Stories Near End On previous days, Albert S. Osborn. ruddy-faced, deal and assertive. had sworn to his belief Hauptmann was the author, to be followed by another master of script analysis, ElbriHge W. Stein. John Tyrrell of Milwaukee and Herbert J. Walter of Chicago, had been the other two to bring the weight of their findings before tne court. Osborn the younger was still on the stand when court recessed, at 12:25 p m.. and the courtroom throne was happv in anticipation that >he tedious handwriting testimony—which is so vital to the state s case—was drawing to a close. The experts’ testimony followed a futile attempt by the defense to strike out the testimony of Morton C. Maish. middle-western thumbguard manufacturer, which was designed to refute the contention of Edward J. Reillv. chief defense counsel, that Betty Gow could not have found the thumb-guard, untarnished. where she said she did. Senator Attends Trial Justice Thomas W. Trenchard refused to strike the testimony and denied the motion. The defense had argued that Mr. Maish was not a chemical expert and could not say whether or not a metal thumb guard would become corroded. Hauptmann was led into court by his wrists again today. The defendant looked pale, as usual, but told the United Press he “felt fine” and had slept well. United States Senator Warren J. Barbour of New Jersey and Mrs. Barbour were early visitors, sitting in the reserved section at the left of the judge's bench. When the experts have finished, they will roll up their black and white charts and depart, leaving the way clear for a retelling of the detective work that resulted in the arrest of the sunken-eved German, and of the events that followed rapidly on this arrest. Osborn Proves Popular It has been a wearisome, but necessary. performance. When the first Osborn talked to the jury, he obtained close attention for two reasons. First, because he was the first of the experts to declare the ransom letters were written by Hauptmann: second, because he gave an entertaining lecture on handwriting. and few in his large audience had ever heard anything like it. The three who succeeded nim played to a less interested house and were subjected to cross-exami-nations that were long and repetitious. Hie defense strategy was apparent. It wanted to tire the experts. confuse them and, if possible, the jury. At times it had the scientists begging for a respite. There was one brief interlude which recalled the audience out of its slumberous apathy and back to one of the main issues of he case. That was when Morton Maish. mid-dle-western thumb-guard manufacturer, bad his moment in the spotlight. Mr. Maish was listed as one of those "surprise witnesses” who are promised but who seldom appear. (Turn to Page Three!

COURT BACKED BY ROOSEVELT World Tribunal Necessary for Justice, He Says in Message. By f nitffi Hrr.su WASHINGTON. Jan. 16.—President Roosevelt today requested the Senate to put the United States into the World Court to make “international justice practicable and serviceable.” In a special message, the President threw the weight of his influence behind the World Court movement, asking early ratification of the protocols for American adherence. Noting that both Republican and Democratic platforms have advocated a voluntary international court, Mr. Roosevelt said this was an “obviously sound and thoroughly American policy.” “The sovereignty of the United States will be in no way diminished or jeopardized by such action,” the President said. “At this period in international relationships, when every act is of moment to the future of world peace, the United States has an opportunity once more to throw its weight into the scale in favor of peace.” Ratification of the protocols at an early date is expected generally. Members of the old bloc of "irreconcilables” who blocked entry into the League of Nations, including Senators Hiram Johnson (R. Cal* and William E. Borah *R.. Idaho*, still oppose the court, however, despite Administration insistence that it will not involve this country in the League.

Gee Whiz nun Southern Writing Expert Brings Laughter to Bruno’s Trial.

H>j t nit'il Press FLEMINGTON, N. J., Jan. 16. Wisecracks in the lazy Southern draw? of Harry Cassidy, Virginia handwriting expert, sent the courtroom into howls of laughter today. The prosecution placed him on the witness stand to swear that Bruno Richard Hauptmann wrote the ransom notes. He said he had testified in several Federal Court cases down South. “What Federal district was that?” he was asked. “I don't remember the number,” the witness replied. "It was the district were the read-headed judge presides.” “Have you Drought any charts of exhibits with you?” “Yes, I have,” Mr. Cassidy replied. “But there ain’t no use getting them out. I'd just be saying the same things these other experts said. I’ve been sitting around court here ror a couple of days and these other experts have shot my testimony full of holes.” nan UNDER cross-emination the Dixie expert was asked what conclusion he reached from the fact that in the ransom notes the word “not” was spelled “note” sometimes and “not” other times. “Oh. that’s nothing, “Cassidy said, “I spell words three or four ways myself sometimes. I always look up the big words in the dictionary and take a chance on the little ones.” “What would ‘hazardous’ be—a little one or a big one?” “Oh, gee whiz! ‘Hazardous’ is a big one. On that one I would get a dictionary and turn to the ‘H's.’ Then I would go right down the line until I found out whether it was spelled ‘h-a-s’ or ‘h-a-z.’” Justice Thomas W. Trenchard and the opposing counsel joined in the laughter. nan MR. CASSIDY was plainly desirous of saving as much time as possible. He suggested that much of his testimony would be repetitious. The state attempted to excuse him by the provision that his charts would be accepted for consideration by the jury. The defense would have none of it. Mr. Cassidy leaned toward the jury. "i want to be conservative, but I don't want to be mealy-mouthed I would say that even if all these notes were written on the typewriter, I would say they were the work of one person. “I don’t think that it’s necessary to take up time to count all these comparisons. I may say, however, regarding this writer that he seems to be a conscientious objector to crossing his ‘T's.* Many persons occasionally forget to cross their 'T’s,’ but he hardly ever does.” n n n LLOYD FISHER, defense counsel. questioned the witness on the best time to take request writings from a suspect “When you've got a suspect." he replied. Q —ln your opinion would it be difficult for a person who had Hauptmann’s writing to copy his writing? A—ls he had a little of the Hauptmann writing he might write, one letter, but 14 letters, gee whiz. Mr. Fisher, it would be next to impossible. Q—You weren’t present when the ransom notes were written, were you? A —No. I wasn’t present when Washington crossed the Delaware, but I got a pretty good idea that he got there. Q —So you weren't present on either occasion? A—l was among those absent.

By United Pr^ss NEW ORLEANS. Jan. 16.—Huey Long's foes mobilized today for a showdown.

TAX SALE BILL IS DELAYED AS SENATE QUITS House Machinery Upset as Townsend Fails to Sign Measures. POLL CHANGE AFFECTED Governor Waits in Vain to Approve Acts; Hearings Held Today. Adjournment of the Indiana Senate until 10 tomorrow' without the Lieutenant Governor affixing his signature to three important emergency administration measures, today blocked the legislative machin-. ery and threw the House into temporary contusion. While the House ol Representatives stood by to receive the enrolled bills extending the tax moritorium bill and two measures clarifying the election law' to clear the way for the special election in the Second Congressional District, the Senate adjourned. The House also adjourned itrffil 10 Thursday. There - _,s then no way to have the th „ bills signed and forwarded to *' ,c House and the Governor .waited the receipt of the measures for his consideration. Eighteen Bills Are Offered The tax moratorium bill, which will prevent sale of properties for delinquent taxes in 1935 and extend through 1936 the moratorium to delinquent owners who pay taxes due in 1935, must become a law this week to prevent advertising of properties for sale. Eighteen measures were introduced in both houses, of which 14 were, in the House. Committees this afternoon were to hold hearings on pending measures. Calendars tomorrow were expected to show that many minor bills, including the conservation measures, were ready for adoption. Friction developed on a report of the County and Township Business Committee concerning S. B. 13, an act authorizing a tax levy by municipalities to pay obligations where funds are tied up in defunct; banks. The Republican minority report sought to restrain municipalities from making the levy should it cause the $1.50 maximum levy law to be exceeded. However, the Ser - ate concurred in the majority report after a brief skirmish.

Measures in House Important bills introduced in the House today include: Prohibiting opposition to political candidates on account of their race or religion and requiring identification of campaign literature by publishing the names of the authors, offered by Rep. Henry J. Richardson Jr. <D., Indpls.); Requiring poor persons to do relief work for taxpayers before becoming eligible for aid from poor overseers; Prohibiting judgments against defendants when proceeds from mortgage foreclosures are less than the amount of the mortgages, excepting where mortgages have been obtained through fraud and misrepresentation, and providing for the condemnation of rights or way for private persons whose lands are shut off from public highways by reason of stream straightening or ditch construction. Bank Measure Offered A measure to permit governmental units having deposits ftozen in defunct banks or trust companies to sell the deposits for cash after appraisal of values by two freeholders was offered in the Senate. Judiciary B Committee will unanimously report H. B. 31, which amends the public utility la w to prohibit utility firms from engaging in a subsidiary business cr selling merchandise other then byproducts, to the House of Representatives tomorrow. Majority members of the Senate caucused to consider re-egtablish-ment of the omnibus system for getting petty legislation out of the way. Tlit method, used extensively in the Legislature ten years ago, is to group bills of a similar nature on third reading end pass them on one roll call. The present move is for disposition of a group of conservation bills on revision of the fish and game laws. No action was taken, but it was apparent from the expression of opinion from various Senators that adoption of an omnibus motion plan is improbable Members of the roads committees of both Houses held a joint meeting yesterday and were told by State Highway Commission members that the commission must borrow $1,000,000 July 1 in order to take advantage of Federal grants, i and must have additional revenue.; if there is to be further expansion of the state's road system.

Allen refused to heed their demands. Final impetus to the movement against Long and the State Legislature was given at a mass meeting of several hundred women in Baton Rouge last night. With prayers and tears women speakers offered to sacrifice their men's lives, if necessary, in a battle against the dictatorship. Mrs. J. S. Roussell was elected president of the women's auxiliary to the “Square Dealers.” "Someone may be hurt.” she said, “in fact. I'm afraid this will end in bloodshed, but our husbands and

THREE MINERS ARE RES* FROM FIRE Hoosier Workers Are Burned by Gas Flames. By United Pres* PRINCETON, Ind., Jan. 17. Three badly burned coal miners were rescued today after lamps ignited gas 180 feet below the surface in the Mo wry wage coal mine near here. The rescued miners, Roy Kirby, 25; Lloyd Willis, 21, and John Rogers, were removed to a hospital, where they are expected to recover. Only the quick thinking of Herman Willis and Virgil Willis, standing at the top of the shaft, saved the imprisoned men. They smelled burning clothing and lowered a rope. The miners fastened the rope to themselves and were pulled to the surface. RICKENBACKER PLANE ARRIVES IN NEWARK Huge Airliner Five Minutes Late in Dawn to Dusk Flight.

( When the agents burst into the house they found Barker dead and “Ma” Barker’s body nearby with a machine gun in her lifeless Angers.

OFFICER’S SON IS HUNTED FOR MURDER QUIZ Young Bakery Salesman, Father of Four-Months-Old Baby Boy, Is Found Slain; Policeman’s Kin Is Sought as Suspect. 21-YEAR-OLD GIRL-WIFE COLLAPSES Officers, Reconstructing Crime, Find Evidence of Fight in Truck; Victim Dies Soon After Admittance to Hospital. Deputy sheriffs and police today sought a city patrolman's 16-year-old son in connection with the brutal slaying late yesterday of James Eli Hunt. 25-year-old bakery salesman and father, who was shot through the head in his truck at lonely 71st-st and Ditch-rd. The youth, Richard Liese, son of Petrolman George R. Liese, is known, deputy sheriffs said, to have been with Mr. Hunt in his truck at a number of stops the truck made on its route yesterday before the shooting.

NEED FOR MORE SCHOOLS CITED Serious Overcrowding Listed in Report to Board of Commissioners. Serious criticism of over-crowding in Indianapolis high schools was made today in the 333-page report of a six-member committee to the Board of School Commissioners. The report, a result of two years of study, charges that five of the six local high schools are crowded beyond the capacity for which they were intended and that, while enrollment in high schools has increased 128.99 per cent since 192021, the number of teachers has increased only 80.43 per cent. Particularly the report criticised makeshift study halls in the high schools, which, it said, indicated crowded conditions. After a preliminary study of the report, Carl J. Wilde, new commissioner, described the document as “truly remarkable” and said its disclosures should prove an invaluable aid in determining future school policies. Over-crowded buildings, Mr. Wilde stated, have become a common problem in American metropolitian centers. He cited as illustration a high school in Chicago, ; completed in 1933 to accommodate some 6000 students and now housing | more than 8000.

supervisor, shot and seriously wounded. Norman Nash, kidnaped by the bandits and shot through the hand before he was released. One unidentified member of the bandit gang wounded by the posse. Suspicion was aroused when a stranger was seen tinkering with an automobile in the alley in back of the bank this morning. Quietly the village posse was assembled and surrounded the bank, wounded and captured the suspect who was working on the car. Inside they found three bandits waiting for the time lock on the bank vault to open. The posse charged and the bandits fled. Finding their car surrounded they rushed to a nearby garage, where they stole an automobile dnd kidnaped Mr. Nash. As they fled they stopped long enough to engage the posse in another gun duel and take their wounded comrade away frbm the officers. In the duel Mr. Bundy was shot and killed. The alarm was broadcast and Sheriff Axeline started from nearby Maryhall County to intercept the bandits. He was successful in head- | ing them off on the highway, but in! & gun battle he was shot aisd killed.

He has not, they said, returned to his home at 4418 Manlove-av, and his family said he never before had i stayed away all night without 1 first having informed them. Deputies are seeking young Liese either as a suspect in the slaying, which police and deputies believe was motivated by the robbery of SSO or more from Mr. Hunt, or as a possible second victim of the holdup, possibly wounded, possibly dead or possibly kidnaped. Young Liese is 6 feet 1 inch tall, weighs 170 pounds, has red hair, and was wearing a blue work shirt, a suede jacket and a light cap. Deputies said that he had been making the daily rounds with Mr. Hunt for the last two months, and added that they know the two quarreled recently with some violence in a city filling station. Deputies believe that Mr. may have been shot by his own Mocaliber revolver which he is known to have carried in his truck and which has not been found in or near it since the shooting. Mr. Hunt, father of 4-month-old Lewis Ray and husband of 21-year-old Frances Hunt, was wantonly shot at close range. Both the money satchel he carried and his pockets had been ransacked when deput sheriffs arrived at the scene. The victim was unconscious when deputy sheriffs arrived and never regained consciousnes. He was lying two feet to the right of the truck. His money satchel was on the seat of the truck, opened and empty. The victim was unconscious and never regained consciousness.

Trail Is Followed * The bullet had entered his head ■ above the right ear and emerged two inches below the left ear. It, was not found and there is no 1 official estimates as to what caliber , it was or from what type gun it | was fired. The deputies sent the victim to City Hospital, where he died early ! last night. Search for young Liese began shortly after the finding of the unconscious victim. Deputies interviewed R. F. Cravens, 86 Springfield* rd, who said Mr. Hunt and his companion had stopped there a short while before, and made a sale. Deputies and police reason that this was the last stop the truck made before the fatal ending of its trip. Tracks made by the truck just before it was stopped are wobbly, police said, and indicate the driver was involved in some sort of a fight immediately before the crime was committed. Police said today that they have discovered the youth, who had ridden with Mr. Hunt for lhe last two months, had quarreled violently with Mr. Hunt two days ago at a filling station in the city. When she was notified of the shooting, Mrs. Hunt hurried to City Hospital and. hysterical, spent a short time at the operating table on which he lay. Then she returned to their home, 2949 Comell-av. to their baby and. heartbroken, told neighbors she had no hope for the recovery of her husband. Married Five Years "I think he'll die,” she said, and hardly had she uttered the words when she was informed he had. She collapsed and was placed under care of a physician. Mr. and Mrs. Hunt had been married five years. Recently, after Mr. Hunt, by dint of hard work, had developed his sales route to a justifiable profit, Mr. Hunt had bought anew truck. He was independent, and bought his baked goods from the Gutzwiller Bakery Cos., 1242 Madison-av. He also leaves his grandmother, Mrs. James Staley, Mooresville; Cecil Hunt, a brother, Indianapolis, and Frances Hunt, a sister, Newcastle.
