J., Feb. 22.—(7)—Two of the state’s star witnesses in the trial of Bruno Richard Hauptmann were brought back into the case Sat- urday for a recheck of their testi- mony. Prosecutor Anthony M. Hauck, Jr.. of Hunterdon county, said one of the witnesses is Millard Whited. He re- fused to name the other. Whited is the Sourland mountain- eer who testified he had seen Haupt- mann in the vicinity of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh’s home a few days be- fore the Colonel's infant son was kid- naped, March 1, 1932. Hauck said Whited and the other witness would be questioned by him- self, Gov. Harold G. Hoffman, and C. Lioyd Fisher, chief of Hauptmann’s counsel. By Governor's Order Hauck said the governor ordered the questioning at a conference Fri- day night with Hauck and Fisher. It was also reported in reliable quarters, but unconfirmed, that the governor again gave evidence he wanted prosecution officials to recall Dr. John F. Condon, the Jafsie of the ransom negotiations, now on a vaca- tion in Panama. It was learned the three at the con- ference discussed the possibility of however, were not disclosed. Hauck himself said he would take the same league with George Wash- ington Saturday, tossing a silver dol- Jar across the Rappahannock river with yards to spare. With the same sweep of the long right arm that mowed down big league batsmen for years, the noted hurler sailed the coin not only over the river, but into the cheering crowd on the opposite bank. He made three attempts, failing in his first by 10 feet and succeeding in the last two. The final pitch was the official one.

George A. Custer and his gallant men went out from Bismarck never to return. Decision to invite the state to coms to Bismarck for the celebration was reached Friday by the Bismarck As- sociation of Commerce which will sponsor the affair. Frank Milhollan was named gen- eral chairman and authorized to ap- Point all of the necessary subcom- mittees, of which there will be a score or more. All Expected to Help Every citizen of Bismarck will be expected to lend a hand in making the celebration a success, Milhollan said, and there will b2 plenty of work for all.

Receiving his education under the tutelage of his lawyer father, Tracy R.

Clerk in an abstractor's office, stu- of the United Lutheran Church in America, said Mr. Matthiesen was acting “on his own responsibility with- out any approval from any authority in the Lutheran church.” The Rev. Dr. T. O. Burntvedt, of Minneapolis, president of the Luth- eran Free church, said in Seattle the church has no business “to inferfere with the process cf law” and that he will reject the appeal.
