Phillip Moses, who had been quoted ‘as saying his story would “bust this ‘case wide open,” testified he picked up three fares shortly after 8 p. m. April 2, 1932, and drove them past the cemetery where Dr. John F. (Jafsie) Condon said he paid Hau mann the ransom money while Col- onel Lindbergh waited in an auto. He said he drove the three men two blocks past the gate. They jumped out, he said, and met a fourth man, whereupon the quartet huddled for a conference. Then they got into a gray car which stalled, he said, and he helped them to get it started. Moses was not allowed to testify to something he said one of the men told him. Schwarzkopf Testifies From Colonel H. Norman Schwarz- kopf, superintendent of New Jersey state police, Reilly Monday adduced testimony that a duplicate of the kid- nap ladder had broken when sub- jected to the weight of a state troop- er weighing 180 pounds, and that it had broken in the same place the actual kidnap ladder cracked. The state police head, appearing @ defense witness, said the experi- ments showed that a man weighing “up to 170 or possibly 175 pounds could have gone up, but with the add- ed weight (of the Lindbergh baby) the ladder would have broken when he came down.” The baby, he testi- weighed 182 pounds at the time of the kidnaping, declared the defend- ant therefore could not have asccnded the ladder successfully, The state, on the other hand, put Hauptmann’s weight at 175 pounds in 1932 and viewed Colonel Schwarz- kopf’s testimony as evidence that it could have been Hauptmanr. who en- tered the Lindbergh nursery.

Young, Fargo attorney, :|in an address before the local Ki- wanis assembled at their re,ular noon luncheon meeting. Stating that 40,000 miles of track throughout the nation are already in the hands of receivers, Young cited’ the need of immediate legislative ac- tion which would insure the rail- roads equality with the truck and bus aud water carriers, The effect of. government owner- ship of the railroads on the state would be felt mainly in the loss of nearly one-seventh of the entire state tax collections, Young <caid. The Fargo attorney traced the history of government ownership during the ‘World War when over seven billion dollars was spent to keep up opera- tions. ‘The organization of shippers advi- sory boards over the United States to increase productivity, improve handling methods and modernize equipment has been one forward step in the rehabilitation of the carriers, he said. ‘Young was introduced by Alfred Zuger.

Papke might be removed as head of the reg- ulatory department within the next two weeks, although in other quar- ters it was expected he would remain until after the legislative session. Papke was originally appointed by Olson, then re-appointed by Moodie.

Still undecided were the relative Positions of J. J. Weeks, present ac- tive tax commissioner and Moe, D |r: ms. Moe, although he has filed his oath Of office, has as yet mace no ef- fort to take over the office.
