Morrison Rockholl said, the first of this week, that the Hauptman trial for the kidnapping and murder the Lindbergh baby had been a' sensational affair from start to finish, instead of the calm trial of a man, in a court of justice in the United States, he said it had been played up and made sensational so that an impartial and unbiased decision would seem impossible. Many people thought that Hauptman would be freed but the jury found him guilty and did not recommend mercy—there having been no mercy shown the Lindbergh baby—and he is to die in the electric chair before March 18. Although this morning it was j said he will appeal the casfc. One of those who insisted Hauptman would be . freed was H. W. Buchholz. Mr. Buchholz claimed that the woman on the jury weighing 300 pounds, was asleep and did not hear the evidence. In an argument with the editor’s wife, Mr. Buchholz went so far as to bet her a lemon that Hauptman would be found not guilty. This morning, Mr. Buchholz had Billy Bow Id deliver to the Journal office half a dozen lemons. Some Valentine!

ANTI-SALOON MEET HELD SUNDAY NIGHT J. F. Jenner, Educational Secretary of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League, speaking in the Evangelical church, in Syracuse, Sunday evening, in a union meeting, said among other things, the following. “An inventory of the fourteen months of Repeal shows that not a single promise of the repealists had been kept. The saloon is here, wide open, and with the added evils of the debauchery of women and youth. The bootlegger and racketeer are here, doing a greater business than ever, and without fear of being molested. Unemployment has increased by almost a million since repeal. Taxes have fallen far short of prerepeal promises. The total gross liquor taxes of the entire nation approximate only four hundred and fifty million dollars. “The promised era of true temperance has turned out to be an era of greatly increased drinking, drunkenness, drunken drivers, increased automobile accidents and fatalities. The promised protection of youth from liquor, has been answered by a high-powered campaign to ensnare ■ and to allure the youth to form the j habit of drink. “Repeal, as a measure of recovery has been worse than a failure. According to Washington dispatches, based upon Treasury reports, the legal liquor bill for 1934, exceeded hree billion dollars, according to the same authority, the bootleg liquor bill exceeded a billion dollars I for the same period. The entire iquor bill of the nation totals between four and five billion dollars. “The taxpayers paid about one and one-half billion dollars for relief during that period. The President is ! asking for nearly five billion dollars for relief from this Congress. “If the money spent for liquor in 1934, had been used to purchase needful articles for the home, the schools, the churches, and for business improvement, public relief would have been practically eliminated, thus saving the taxpayers large sums of money. It would have furnished remunerative employment to the great majority of the unemployed. Moreover, legitimate American business, struggling to recover, would have received the necessary additional trade to enable it to return to normal activity. In order to undo the frightful evils of Repeal, a campaign of information and education must be carried on. The rapidly changing public sentiment must be organized and crystallized for legislation that will restrict and finally eliminate the beverage liquor traffic. “A liquor traffic which has broken every promise it made to secure a • legal standing, cannot maintain the ! Aspect of an American electorate. that is able to compare Prohibition at its worst, with a modern mercenary and merciless liquor traffic.
