The Hunterdon grand jury returned the indictment on which Hauptmann was convicted. Wendel Investigation | The grand jury of Mercer County dropped the Wendel investigation last night. One reason for this was that Wen- del’s counsel challenged the jurisdic- tion of the grand jury of the county inasmuch as the kidnaping occurred in Hunterdon County. He stated the child died séveral weeks after the kidnaping or from an accidental fall from a bed and thus no murder charge would hold against Wendel. Attorney General Wilentz declared that Hauptmann'’s indictment and conviction was based on fact and the state proved to the satisfaction of the jury the child died during the commission of the kidnaping and was a felony.

In support of his contention that “Rail 16" did not come from the attic, he said: That examinations of the flooring with calipers showed a variation between wood of “Rail 16” and the wood used in the floor, the test showing the lad- der piece to be about one-six- teenth of an inch thicker than the floor boards. | That examinations aiso plain- | ly showed that in the other attic | floor boards there were only sev- en perpendicular nails driven, which may be incurred in Alaska up to June 30, 1936. “(Signed) HARRY'L.

Poaching by Ispanses . i Charged in Phillipines MANILA, April 3.—Alleged illeg- al fishing in Philippine waters by Japanese boats has caused army and customs officials to urge all citzens to report such incidents immediately so that the offending boats may be pursued.
