Gov, John B |Fournet's disputed candidacy for the |supreme court. | Suddenly a fire alarm—a screaming ‘siren atop the «#urthouse—let loose one terrific blast ‘and followed it up ; with six more, Immediately the volunteer fireboys | ‘came dashing up the street looking for the fire, Traffic around the courthouse | Square was congested. Firemen did a great deal of bell clanging and siren blowing in a vain attempt to get jthrough and the motorists responded with an equal amount of horn toot- ing, shouting and laughing. Senator Long shouted into his | loudspeaker to the effert that Marks- ville's volunteers were “hoodlums” and i that they were deliberately trying to {drown out his political speech. The location of the fire was and still is a moot question in Marksville. | There was a strong suspicion there i wasn’t any fire, State highway policemen, accom- |panying Senator Long, prepared to jarrest the volunteer firemen, Sheriff J. J. Jeansonne came in lright behind the state police and ordered them away. ' Jersey state police, went before the grand jury with a pair of shoes} Hauptmann had purchased for his, wife Sept. 6 last and paid for with a) $20 gold certificate. | Horn said after he emerged from, the grand jury room he had obtainea the shoes from Hauptimann’s home and added he had established defin- itely the prisoner bought the shoes and paid for them with the gold certificate. Meanwhile. Mrs. Hauptmann, through her husbands attorney, James M. Fawcett, requested district attorney Samuel J. Foley to grant her permission to take from her home some things for her 10-months cld son, Manfred. Attorney Believes Alibi Fawcett said Hauptmann told him he had loaned $2,000 to Isadore Fisch, the man he was in the fur business with for a time. “I am coming to believe more and man is the real culprit.” The elder Osborn was told to hold himself in readiness for a possible recall to the grand jury room. He said that, without breaking grand Monday night “somewhere in Mis- souri,” their whereabouts kept a closely-guarded secret while me- chanics serviced their little blue plane for resumption of-the flight. Unconfirmed reports suggested that the Lindberghs might stop Tuesday in Columbus, O., so that the colonel might question George Paullin. Paul- lin is the Ohio penitentiary convict who says he received a eoded mes- sage from Hauptmann telling in ad- vance of the kidnaping plans. New York police found a diary kept by Hauptmann and 25 detectives im- mediately jan interviewing persons named in the book. Many were men- tioned. Searchers in the prisoner’s home also found something which they evi- dently considered of value, but would not discuss. A package the size of a shoe box, it was taken to Foley's of- fice to await his action, The accused man’s lawyer, said he was conducting an investigation “some distance from New York.” He added that his “detective work” sub- Stantiated Hauyimann’s account of jury confidences, he could state Hauptmann was the man who wrote the ransom notes. He said he based this conclusion on his story of the notes and Hauptmann’s signature on his automobile registration card. Two new trails gave police a chance Tuesday to prove their contention that Bruno Richard Hauptmann kid- naped the Lindbergh baby. State troopers in New Jersey ob- fained Hauptmann’s fingerprints. ‘Their commander denied that they had the prints of the kidnaper, per- mitting a comparison, but another in- vestigator called them “the one price- oa less piece of evidence.” New York police took Hauptmann's carpentry tools for microscopic exam- ination. They reasoned that nicks and bumps possibly might fit the tooled ridges and grooves on the home-made ladder down which the abductor carried the baby from a [nursery window. The ladder, which broke under the weight of the kidnaper and his vic- tim, also figured prominently in, a third track which the investigators took. They ordered an X-ray of Hauptmann’s left ankle to determine whether a fracture had caused the phlebitis Which he suffered months after the abductiom To Press Three Charges Prosecutors say they are ready to Press three charges. Extortion in connection with the ransom double-cross is the charge be- fore a Bronx county grand jury in this city. Defense counsel heard Hauptmann already had been in- dicted. Kidnaping and murder charges are planned in New Jersey. Lindbergh, now flying east to ap- pear before the grand jury, saw an accomplice of the mysterious “John” who took the ransom over a cemetery wall, This was revealed Monday night. The man, a handkerchief over his face, peered into the aviator’s automobile as Lindbergh awaited the return of his emissary, Dr. J. F. Con-| don, Kidnaper Revealed Face Later the lookout dropped the .37 | handkerchief, apparently as a signal to his confederate behind the wall, and ‘the colonel obtained a fleeting glimpse of the man’s features, Federal agents will show Lindbergh a picture of Isadore Fisch to see .05| whether the flier can identify him as well as the prisoner in the Bronx jail. Fisch, now dead, is the man whom Hauptmann contends gave him a small fortune for safekeep- ing. The money was part of the ransom and police recovered $13,750 from Hauptmann's home. Investigators are hurriedly winding their many skeins of evidence and pseudo-evidence so that Lindbergh may study them in the light of his experience as a leader of the hunt for his missing baby. Lindbergh’s appearance before the grand jury is set for Wednesday, the day on which Samuel Foley, district attorney for the Bronx, says he ex- pects an indictment. James Fawcett, | the defense lawyer, declined to dis- 00 | close who had told him the true bill already had been voted.

If those fingerprints tally with Hauptmann’s, he might as well be sitting the electric chair this moment.” Coupled with the decision to X-ray the suspect's leg came the news that an “Edward Hoffman” had been treated at a Bronx hospital for a fracture about midnight of March 1, 1932, the night of the kidnaping.

Though the original plan called for repayment of the loan in from one to three years, the maximum for re- payment has been extended to five years recently, the speaker said. Eligible to receive such loans are sholders ‘who have regular incomes five times as large as the yearly payments expected on the and who have good credit records. Though interest is limited to $5 $100 of loan per Tepayment plan. Explaining that the better housing loans really are “character” loans, Glotsbach said the First National, Bank of New York City in the last year has released more than $1,000,000 on “character” loans, with losses less than one-half of one per cent.
