T HE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1935. %% A-S EMOTIONS BURIED | - BY HAUPTMANN Accused Displays Interest in Arguments and Rul- ings at Trial. By the Associated Press. FLEMINGTON, N. J., January 10.— Bruno Richard Hauptmann has buried his true emotions deerly beneath a role of spectator at his own trial for murder. Hardened by the shocks dealt him by the prosecution in the Lindbergh kidnap-murder case, Hauptmann gave the appearance of quiet interest typical of any one of the other 500 persons listening in the court room today to the verbal combat between the State's star witness, Dr. John F. Condon, and the chief defense counsel, Edward J. Reilly. Diffidence Disappears. The diffidence of the defendant in his first appearances in court has near- ! ly disappeared. He tramps back and forta from his seat near the defense counsel table to his cell undisturbed by staring eyes. Once settled against the rail divid- ing the court room, he looks about, | seeing many things which formerly escaped him in his preoccupation with his plight. The appearance of an attendant witn the charts of the Lindbergh es- tate, which are placed daily on the rack back of the witness stand, first drew Hauptmann's interest. He watched to see if they were hung strajght and in their original order. Hauptmann has shown no interest in the ransom notes, but when a pho- tograph, perhaps of one of the ceme- teries where the trysts with the kid- naper occurred, is handed to the de- fense attorneys for examination, he leans forward to study it over their shoulders. Interested in Proceedings. The arguments of counsel, the searching among the piles of envelopes and papers on the prosecution table for exhibits, the rulings of Justice ‘Thomas W. Trenchard occupy the in- terast of the defendant, where once he sat stiffly and squarely in his chair, casting only a quick glance at his counsel or a witness. Disturbances among the spectators, who occasionally find it difficult to resist a demonstration, cause the car- penter to turn in his seat with in- terest. Amusing episodes of the trial now tring smiles to his face. He began to chat eagerly with re- porters, and he took a sudden re- straint imposed by his guards philo- sophically. “I not talk any more,” he said, with @ slight smile, Running Account of Today’s Session, Condon Testifying (Continued From Fourth Page.) the luncheon recess the crowds seemed to have done little more than walk out of the room, turn around and walk back again. for all available | space was well occupied long before | the recess ended. Hauptmann again was the first principal of the trial drama to come back frem lunch. He sat immobile until Reilly arrived at the defense | table and then he engaged his chief | counsel in a whispered conversation. Court reconvened after noon recess et 1:45 pm. Mrs. Myra Hacker, Jafsie’s married daughter, who looked chic in a black frock trimmed with a white collar, talked earnestly with Wilentz as cam- eramen’s flash bulbs went off almost in her face. Reilly Concludes Cross-quizz of Jafsie. Reilly announced he was through with his cross-examination of the venerable Jafsie and the State made ready to take the retired school teacher to clear up any obscurities in his testimony defense questioning de- veloped. The jury returned to its box a bare few seconds before Justice Trenchard resurned the bench promptly at 1:45. Jafsie, smiling but looking tired, climbed back to the witness chair for redirect examination. Attorney General Wilentz's first question concerned Jafsie's own ath- letic prowess, and Condon said he was an active athlete, a foot ball player and captain of his team. The old man seemed proud. One of the first points the State sought to clarify was Jafsie's con- fusion over the first communication Irom the kidnaper. Under cross-examination Jafsie said he never opened the sealed letter ad- dressed to Col. Lindbergh, but yet de- | scribed the signature symbol in a tele- phone conversation to the Lindbergh estate. Jafsie's note in that original communication was not signed by the symbol. “That's an error,” was Jafsie's de- scription of his confusion. Relates How He Called Lindbergh Estate. Jafsie related how he had called Lindbergh's estate on the basis of that unsigned note and was instructed to open the sealed note at the direction of some one in the Lindbergh home. “I opened the letler addressed to Col. Lindbergh and read the letter, which oore the supposed signaturas of the kidnapers, to some one at Hope- well,” he said Condon said he talked to Lindbergh. but a defense objection made him change his testimony to read “some one at Hopewell.” Q. Did you testify that you took the gealed letter to Col. Lindbergh? A. Idid. That was an error. Q. Who was present when you opened the letter? A. Col. Breckinridge. Q. And wno else? Your daughter? Reilly objected, but Condon an- swered: A. Yes, my daughter. Q. On the matter of your seeing Hauptmann during the bus ride in the Bronx, did you.ask the driver to stop? A. Yes, but he didn't stop. He stopped later and I searched for him. Condon testified, “I never went to Maine,” under the redirect examina- tion concerning the plane ride he took with Col. Lindbergh while searching Massachusetts waters. His answer was a reversal of his testimony under cross-examination. Reported Seeing Man to Justice Department. Asked whether he reported having seen Hauptmann to the authorities Condon replied, choosing his words carefully: “Yes, I reported it to the Depart- ment of Justice.” Q. When was the first time you saw the symbol affixed to these notes? A. About March 12. Q. When did you receive the first note? A. About the 9th or 10th of March. He was asked when he first knew P This statue of St. Peter was placed beside the bank of the St. Lawrence River in the St. Regis Indian Reservation, on the Canadian side of the border, near Hogansburg, N.

Sev- eral boats and a number of houses had already been crushed under the ice impact when this photo was made. —A. P. Photo. LIQUOR REVENUES TOTAL §374.06.000 District of Maryland, Includ- ing D.

NEW YORK, January 10.—Stanley Walker, for several years city editor | of the New York Herald-Tribune, to- day became managing editor of the | New York Daily Mirror, it was an- | nounced at the Mirror offices. | Walker succeeds Emile Gauvreau, who has been made editor. Gauvreau explained that he would direct edi- torial policy, while Walker would be in charge of the news departments. Walker was with the Herald-Tribune for 15 years. He was made city editor in 1928, at the age of 30. He has contributed frequent articles to the magazines and last year published a volume on newspaper men and meth- ods called “City Editor.” POLICE SAVED FROM DOGS | Loop Used to Stop Animals After 73 Officers Are Bitten. PITTSBURGH, January 10 (P)— Something should be done, said Dr. Daniel E. Sable, to keep policemen from being bitten by so many dogs, 5o he did it. Noting that last year 73 policemen were bitten by dogs, some of them mad, Dr. Sable, police and fire surgeon, rigged a contraption. It is a 6-foot pole with an ad- justable loop af, the end. As the dog | comes at the policemen the loop is thrown over the animal's head and drawn tight—with no danger to the | officer. FIGHT INVOLVES OIL Angle of Irak-Persian Contro- versy Revealed at Geneva. GENEVA, January 10 (#).—Oil plays an important part in the dispute between Irak and Persia as it does in the Chaco War and the Italo-Ethi- opian conflict, it was revealed here yesterday. This angle of the controversy was disclosed by a Persian delegation, headed by Khan Kazemi, Persian for- | eign minister and foreign Minister to Washington, which came here to press Persia’s protest before the League of Nations. Irak, the Persians charged, seeks to dominate the Chatterab River and im- pose taxes on ships conveying oil from the anglo-Persian oil fields to Europe and the United States. Persia, the representative said, demands sov- erignty for half the river's width. Court Held on Lawn. LEBANON, Ky. (#).—Crand juries condemned the, 100-year-old court house here, and so did Judge T. Scott Mayes. Suiting his words to action, Judge Mayes held sessions in the court yard, announcing he never again would occupy the old structure, the kidnap symbol, and he answered with “the opening of the sealed letter addressed to Col. Lindbergh.” Wilentz asked Jafsie to explain what he meant when he described John’s cough during the Woodlawn Cemetery rendezvous as “pulmonary.” Q. What did you mean by that? A. To my mind it is plain that any slight difficulty in breathing through the lungs would make a man cough. .

Jafsie Held Contributing to Under- standing of Case—Public Taking Acute Interest in Witness. BY KATHLEEN NORRIS. FLEMINGTON, N. J, January 10 (N. A. N. A).—They told us when we got to Flemington court house that some of the men and women in the crowd that was packed about the steps and along the sidewalks outside the old building had been there since 3 o'clock. At 3 o'clock on a cold, foggy Winter morning they had gathered there; they had been waiting ever since—just for a quick glimpse of Lindbergh, or to see the arrival of “Jafsie.” “Jafsie” is John F. Condon. He is the all-important witness who identi- fied Bruno Richard Hauptmann as the mysterious “John” of the kid- naper's letters, the shadowy figure with whom he talked at the cemetery gate on a March night almost three vears ago. Strangely enough, in no other witness has the public seemed to take so acute an interest as in this one: perhaps because it is for him to unite the criminal and the crime, if he can. This affable Bronx school teacher has a grim and terrible part to play in this drama, and with a certain dramatic energy he has set himself to play it. Hazy Recollection of Figures. Some women, like myself, have followed the confused mazes of the Lindbergh tragedy only at intervals since first it broke across the front pages of our newspapers almost three years ago, and have since retained only a hazy recollection of who “Red” Johnson and Betty Gow and “Jafsie” are. There was hope in those days that was destined to bitter disap- pointment; there was an infinite jumble of so-called clues, most of them worthless. We didn't know what to believe or what to discredit, and, for my part, when the innocent, 2loved baby was presently found dead, and all hope and all fear died further reading in the matter. did it matter whom they suspected or how successfully they trapped him?— the child was dead. No triumph of police or detective skill could bring him back. So I had to refresh my mind on “Jafsie” when this trial began. Jafsie is all the old-fashioned school teacher, articulate, alert, rel- ishing well-rounded periods and using phrases and words that suggest his academic training. Eight Children in Family. “My father had eight cheel-dren,” he began roundly. “I saw early that the burden was too great.” The taxi was presently “one owned by or at the disposal of' the chauffeur. “‘Don't be cowardly,’” he charged the man who called himself John, when John would have run from him. “‘Youre my guest!’ I praised him and I meant it,” said Jafsie, rather cryptically, but always with his air of scholarly relish. *‘What would your mother say?' " I asked him. “He coughed,” the Bronx school teacher continued, “and I warned him. ‘The inroads of pulmonary disease—' I sald.” Sometimes he speaks involuntarily without due regard for correct court procedure, and then, with a touch of boyish affection, he will clap his hand over his mouth, and widen his eyes to an apologetic “00—00—00?" But altogether one must trust him. A little simple, a little garrulous, a little of the dominie, yet Jafsie has contributed an all-important element to the understanding of the most dreadful tragedy of our day. Notes Read in Court. They read those ransom notes in court. The hideous cruelty of them might make Torquemada stir jealously in his dishonored grave. Could any man, born of any woman, bear to pen those words that were a message for empty house in Hopewell—that house with no baby in it any more, no happy woman'’s talk of naps and cribs, of cereal and top milk? “The baby is absolute well,” the notes told her. They were penned days after his stripped little body had been flung aside in the woods. The news that came back to that agonized little mother must have buoyed up her trembling heart for those endless days and weeks of vigil. The kidnapers wrote that her child was well—said repeatedly that he was safe and well—went so far as to add just what would comfort her, that he was eating more than her published diet list had indicated he would eat. Put yourself in her place, you mothers who read this, imagine her cruel alternations between hope and despair, and then think what these false messages would mean—just how you would twist them and turn them, wringing them dry of every drop of comfort. Charles and Ann Lindbergh met the conditions gal- fll&; they followed directions to the etter. Explored Northern Harbor. ‘When an airplane trip was decreed by the despotic torturer, the famous obedlen viator I turned away from any | What | the waiting mother, over in that big | above a northern harbor, searching out a boat that did not exist. TIt's | a long time ago, but I still hate to think of the return of that tired bird-man to his home that night: I hate to think of the young despair | in those silent rooms; the money paid, | the pledges of secrecy kept, and the | baby still lost somewhere out in the | big world; the baby perhaps watching | every creak of a door to see if it | might not admit the gentleness and goodness and safety that he knew as “mother.” Love's labor lost! But the Lind- bergh case, above anything that new laws or new police watchfulness can do, has its silver lining nevertheless. | We have had before us in these long months an unparalleled example of courage and courtesy, self-control and fair-mindedness and high breeding. We have seen America's finest tested by fire—and we have all been purified by it. We have loved Ann and Charles Lindbergh for many years; | we honor them now, and will honor | them for all time. “Some losses are so great.” says Emily Dickinson, “we measure them by gain.” This national tragedy of ours will be seen some day not to be all loss.

(Continued From First Page.) terious “John” of the Lindbergh ran- som, didn’t remember ever telling any- body that he believed a gang kidnaped the baby, and he denied Reilly’s as- sertion that he had told a newspaper man the baby's body had been brought back to the spot where it was found in the woods a few miles from the Hopewell home of the Lindberghs. Box Ordered by Lindbergh. He also ignored the attorney's use of the term “the chief,” when asking if the box, in which the ransom money was placed had been planned and ordered by “the chief.” Jafsie said the box was ordered by Col. Lind- bergh and Attorney Henry Breckin- ridge and bullt by a New York wood- carver. Reilly brought up his ire by asking him why he made no attempt to have a bus driver run down the man he saw on the street in the Willlamsburg section of New York in August, 1934, a man he sald he recognized as “John,” identified by him as Haupt- mann. Jafsie was on a bus at the time. .Did Not Call to Chauffeur. “Rid you call out to the chauffeur, ‘get that man’? “No, it was none of my business,” Jafsie replied, and this brought from the attorney: “So, it is your sworn testimony then that you made no effort to capture the man to whom you say you gave $50,000, the man who double-crossed you on the ransom?” “I didn't say that,” parried Jafsie, explaining there was tco much traffic to permit a chase. Jafsie denied ever telling anybody that he thought a gang which kid- naped the baby had headquarters on City Island. Shortly before court recessed for lunch at 12:31 p.m., Reilly brought a woman forward in the court room and asked Condon if he knew her. Her name was given as Mrs. Koren and Jafsie remembered her only as a woman who came to his house with another named Mrs. Busch. ‘Two Letters Shown Jafsie. Reilly held up two letters, and asked Jafsie if he did not show them to Mrs. Busch and tell her they were in the handwriting of the kidnapers. “No, I did not.” he declared. “Didn't you tell them you knew the kidnapers were four in name?” “I don’t remember.” And before the session's end was reached Reilly shot at Jafsie a query about a purported transfer as princi- pal of a public school in 1902 because | “of conduct unbecoming a gentleman | with & woman teacher.” “No, sir,” Dr. Condon snapped. Wilentz Hits Reilly. Attorney General David T. Wilentz | charged Reilly was attempting to as- of the State that it produce an allegedly missing note. The defense charged a note was sent to Jafsie by the kidnaper along with the sleeping suit of the baby, which was returned for proof of possession. “That note has never been produced by the State, and we are asking why?” said Prederick H. Pope of the defense staff. “There are no notes missing,” de- clared Attorney General Wilentz. From one piece of the story to an- other Reilly flitted in his attempt to break down the old educator’s credi- bility. He made him account for the logic of each of his statements, and sometimes the retort provoked mirth at the attorney's expense. Answer Brings Laughter. When the attorney contended it was unusual for a man to be climb- ing out of a cemetery at night and | demanded: “Did you ever climb out of a graveyard at night?” The answer was: “I've never been in one at night.” And the result caused Jus- tice Thomas W. Trenchard to bring down his gavel to stop the laughter. Reilly’s first questions of the day of significance pertained to the “hol- low cough” of the man known as “John.” He wanted to know if it was a hard cough, a soft cough, its exact nature. “Did the cough appear to come from his lungs?” “Yes, sir, that's it.” ‘The defense is expected to contend that the man known as “John” was Isador Fisch, who died of tubercu- losis in Germany. Hauptmann, when he was arrested with Lindbergh ran- som money in his possession, claimed Fisch had given it to him for safe- keeping. The defense counsel made Jafsie demonstrate his description o “John's” actions in pulling up his coat lapels to cover his face during the ransom interview, and this it was expected was with a view to showing that identification of Hauptmann was faulty, that Jafsie did not actually see “John’s™ face. Examining him about the sleeping suit which “John” returned to the Lindberghs through Jafsie to “prove” | possession of the baby, Reilly asked Him if he ever bought such sleeping suits, and Jafsie came back: “That is the woman's "work." Reilly bore down on that part of Condon’s story in which he said “John” told him he was a Scandi- | navian, but he could not get the | Bronx man to say that he had told |in Europe and the United States— | others the man was a Scandinavian | Aims and Remedies.” “l said that he said he was a Scandinavian—many times,” Jafsle told him. Nor would Jafsie acknowledge the counselor's implication that he told persons the man he talked to as “John” had a scar on his face, “Never!” he said. MRS. VICTOR. H.

Clark’s speech was the first of a series by members of the Investigating Committee seeking more funds for their inquiry. Pennyless, the com- mittee is asking for $100,000 ‘The Missouri Senator said the com- mittee was doing “a great work for our country and for humanity” and “disclosing facts which should mate- rially sway the judgment of all man- kind.” Clark said it was a “fatal error” to believe the Senate Committee had ac- complished its purpose “and that it should now give way to some new agency constituted for the purpose of hastily throwing together legislation to be submitted to Congress.” Seeking to Prevent War. The primary objective of the com- mittee, Clark added, is not to take the profit out of war, but to prevent war. “My theory in voting for the in- vestigation,” he said, “was that it might contribute in some degree to ferreting out the processes by which men who do not fight wars but grow rich through other men's sacrifices foment the very discords through which they grow fat and swollen.” “The peoples of the world have uni- versally abhorred war,” he said. “Yet when the greed for gain of the few or the wiles of ambitious politicians have again sent the youth of the lands to the shambles, the fanfare of military music, the promise of glory, fiery ex- hortations of patriotism have over- come these moral scruples.” Clark argued that a bona fide effort on the part of two or three of the great nations could “stop this criminal and senseless waste of the people’s wealth on preparation for war.” Invited' by Osteopaths.
