By the Associated Press. FLEMINGTON, N. J., January 19.— Bruno Hauptmann heard the State use his own words yesterday to admit & betraying, hidden scrawl in his Bronx home. But he kept his nerves in check— the nerves that cracked Thursday, in 2 raging demand that a State witness “stop lying!” And toward the end of the day he heard his counsel score—again by us- ing the name of the dead Isador Fisch, from whose effects Bruno says he got the ransom money that he spent and hid. As the State swung into testimony of the brokerage accounts into which, it claims, much of the Lindbergh | ransom money went, Edward J.| Reilly, chief of defense counsel, found | an opening. Fisch Visited Broker. He drew from a brokerage custom- er's man that Fisch Visited the firm with Hauptmann a half dozen times. Near the close of their case, prose- | cutors pounded away at the sensa- tional house and garage finds that developed when Bruno was trapped with a gold-backed ransom bill last September. his wife who used her maiden name, Anna Schoeffler. Hauptmann, how- ever, conducted all transactions. Might Be Bruno Aide? Mulligan, under cross-examination, identified a photograph of Fisch and said the furrier kFad accompanied Hauptmann to his office “five or six times” in the late Spring or Summer of 1933. Fisch, the witness said on cross- examination, was not a customer of the firm, but Reilly asked: “He could ask Hauptmenn to buy, couldn’t he—‘buy me five, buy me 10, buy me 15—and give him the money?” “Yes, sir,” Mulligan replied. Hauptmann, the witness said, on redirect examination by Wilentz, told him he was in the “fur business” in explaining where he got his money. “And he told you he was in the fur business with Isador Fisch, didn’t he?” demanded Reilly. “Yes, sir.” Mulligan said in response to an- other question that he knew of no bank ever returning any of the Lind- bergh baby ransom bills to his concern. He was followed by Joseph H. Burk- ard, attorney, who testified he drew up documents for a $3,750 mortggge in Mrs. Hauptmann's favor in Janu- ary, 1933. Reilly objected to the mortgage on the ground there was no indication the mortgage was paid for in ran- som notes, and Wilentz replied the State was endeavoring to show that Hauptmann got rich quickly in 1932. Harry Triester, a Mount Vernon Bank clerk, testified Hauptmann open- In the house, a closet panel, brought | into the light, revealed the scribbled | address and _telephone number of | James F. “Jafsie” Condon, State wit- nesses swore.

Foley of the Bronx, began to read from Foley's interrogation. “Is that your writing on the board?” | Hauptmann was asked at the time. | “Yes, all over it,” he replied, Arac said “Why board?” did you write it on the Interested in Case. | “I must have read it in the paper | about the story. I was a little bit interested, and kept a little bit record of it and maybe I was just in the closet and was reading the paper and put down the address.” “How did you come to put the tele- phone number on there?” “I can't give you any explanation | about the telephone number.” Although the State is anxious- to bring an end to its case, Attorney General David T. Wilentz acceded yes- terday to the request of defense at- | torneys for a week end recess to per- | mit them to examine Haupunann's\ brokerage accounts.

BY ANNE SUYDAM. FLEMINGTON, N. J., January 19.— If you were a woman who had taken pride in your husband, your baby, and your home, how would you feel about seeing your husband pilloried, rightly {or wrongly, before the eyes of the world? How would you feel about hav- :ng to send your baby far away, so that you could see him but once a week, because of the curious prying eyes and pencils of people who insisted upon disturbing him from his natural nap and turning him into copy? And how would you feel about seeing a board from a closet in your home brought into a court room, and thence into the headlines of hundreds of news- papers? The board, of course, had to be sub- mitted as evidence. Upon it was in- scribed the name and the address of the man who had acted as interme- diary in the Lindbergh ransom pay- ment, and that writing in itself was but another of many damning state- ments. But somehow it seemed to me, sitting as I do directly behind Mrs. Hauptmann, that the board from the closet of her little child must have, held more significance than the writ- ing upon it. I do not know whether this woman had any guilty knowledge of this crime. I do not know. And no one knows what goes on in her heart while exhibit after ghastly exhibit is brought into this court room. But I sicken in her soul at the sight of such obvious destruction of her home, such intimacies paraded before a gap- ing public. Wife Must Go On. The mink coats may come and go. Park avenue matrons may bring their lunch baskets for fear of being con- taminated by Flemington fodder, the female robots may scribble their copy and dash off for the week end to join husband, child or sweetheart—or maybe just for a good night's rest, must go on forever. Whether Bruno “burns” or whether Bruno is recom- mended for mercy, or whether Bruno goes free, she will never be free from the horror of this case. People call these Hauptmanns stolid, and I cannot understand it. Dr. Con- don on the witness stand unnecessar- ily defined a number of words, thereby confusing counsel, jury, and great por- tions of the audience. Having no dic- tionary handy, I can only say that to be stolid has to me always meant to be phlegmatic, bovine, insensitive, and unaddicted to the disguise of feeling, for the simple reason that there would be no feeling to disguise. A stolid appearance is one thing, & stolid tem- perament another. These Hauptmanns are stoic, not stolid. They have much to conceal, and while the defense may take care of their material concerns, it is up to this man and woman to oant.rol their own expressions of emo- An one who-has sat for two weeks only two seats removed from Haupt- mann, I have never gained the im- pression that this man was stolid. He has seemed and does seem to me a man of superhuman control, and his wife seems to me a woman who has always been subservient to him, and who, by the same method, might be fatalistically subservient to counsel. Followed Husband. His outburst in court, though phys- ically startling, was not surprising. During testimony just previous to his throaty denunciation, testimony which had placed almost $15,000 of ransom | money in his garage, he had smiled an irresponsible and dangerous smile, such a sneering smile as would re- move from him forever the adjective “stolid.” And as inevitably as the reverberations follow the peal of thun- der, so his wife, who seems an echo of his will, has shouted hoarsely in his wake to a witness, “You're a lair!” The tears in her eyes when she ac- cepted the court’s reproof were not surprising, either. She is not an iron woman—she is a woman who has been trained to a certain line of discipline, a certain line of advice, but still a woman torn between husband and | son, & woman buffeted between right and wrong, and a woman upon whose shoulders rests hideous and unfor- gettable sorrows, and on the day when she cried in court, she was a woman who saw before her eyes the ravage- ment of her home FILES DIVORCE SUIT Ex-Marquis Says Wife Failed to Tell of Previous Marriages. DENVER, January 19 (#).—Pedro J. Ch De Flores, former French mar- quis, filed suit for divorce yesterday to 1ift what he said was a stigma on his family because of his marriage to Mrs. Milo Magdalene Abercrombie Flores, 37-year-old San Francisco beauty. Flores, now a naturalized American citizen, asserted the dark-eyed brunette had failed to inform him before their marriage of her two divorces—one from a German baron and the other from Lieut. Comdr. Lyman W. Swen- sen, U, 8. N. The former French nobleman said he learned for the first time from newspaper files that his wife was the mother of four children, two of them by her first husband. The father of the other two is Comdr. Swensen. SEEKS CONFERENCE Gov. Park to Invite Governors to Jéfferson City for Parley.

COMEDIAN'S CHILD IS CENTER OF FEUD Families of Linder and Wife, Who Ended Lives, Battle for Custody. By the Associated Press. PARIS, January 19.—Nine vyears after the double suicide of Max Lin- der, celebrated French movie comed- | ian, and his wife, the court contest for | | custody of their daughter Josette, has | been renewed between two embittered families. The will of the father gave | 2-year-old baby to his family, ! mother’s will to hers. A preliminary decision favorable to the the | the maternal claimants was reversed in 1927 by a ruling that since “the right to choose a guardian rests with the surviving parent,” Linder's family was entitled to Josette's custody, be- cause her father outlived her mother by a short interval. Josette’s maternal grandmother, Mme. Mathilde Peters, charged that, il Max Linder was the surviving par- ent, it was only because his “mad fits | of jealousy” drove his wife into a sui- cide pact which he made sure she car- ried out by insisting that she kill her- | self first, 'BOETTIGERS HIDDEN ON HONEYMOON TRIP Daughter of Presu‘lent and New| Husband Secluded in New York State. By the Associaied Press. NEW YORK, January 19.—Mr. and Mrs. John Boettiger were on a brief honeymoon today, believed to be se- cluded somewhere in Westchester County. Boettiger and his bride, the former Anna Roosevelt Dall, daughter of the President, vanished after their sur- prise wedding yesterday and all ef- forts to locate them were unavailing. It was reported. however, that they were at the Westchester Country Club at Harrison, N. Y., where they were expgcted to spend the week end. Boettiger, former Chicago newspaper man, is attached to the New York office of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors’ Association and it was considered likely he will return to his office early next week. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt gave little information concerning the plans of her daughter and new son- in-law beyond saying they would re- side in New York after their wedding trip. Boettiger has an apartment overlooking Central Park. WOULD HONOR EDISON Inventors to Ask Roosevelt to Set National Holiday.

Photo, BONUS VOTE DATE - DIVIDES LEADER House Democratic Chiefs Split as Roosevelt Fights Payment. | By the Assoclated Press With President Roosevelt standing firmly against payment of the soldiers’ bonus, House Democratic leaders are | | divided on how soon to bring the issue to a vote. The President’s attitude was re- | emphasized yesterday afternoon when | questions were asked as to the pos- sibility of some sort of a compromise | being worked out. He replied there | was a lot of policy on the bonus, and that it would develop. Mr. Roosevelt is having the Veterans' Administration compile statistics on how much the | various bills introduced would cost. Check on Line-Up. ‘With reports in the Senate that the | payment move is gaining strength, leaders there are making a check to determine just what the line-up is. Stirred by the demands of more than a hundred members who have pledged for a quick vote on the Pat- man bill, Speaker Byrns yesterday said he thought the issue “should be settled soon, one way or the other,” but added he would not favor depriv- ing the Ways and Means Committee of “ample time to consider the bonus bills.” That committee had set the bonus | aside to take up on Monday the President’s _social security program. Chairman Doughton said hearings on security would take “two or three | weeks.” Because the committee so0 voted, he said the bonus should not | be taken up until the other measure | was reported to the House. Feared Cry Is Raised. Immediately, one bonus leader raised the cry that Byrns had feared: “They're trying to stop, or at least delay. passage of a bill.” This member asserted that if the Ways and Means Committee did not | act before then, he would file a peti- | tion on February 12—the first possible day—to force a vote anyhow. ORDER FOR FORFEITURE OF ALCOHOL PUZZLING Federal Officials Stumped by Liquor Decree by U. 8. Judge. By the Associated Press. MILWAUKEE, January 19.—Federal officials here have a big liquor prob~ lem on their hands. Federal Judge F. A. Geiger signed n.n order for the forfeiture of 5,000 gal- | lons of alcohol seized during and since prohibition, but United States Mar- shal Anton Lukaszewicz was uncertain as to what the order meant. The marshal went to E. J. Koelzer, | assistant United States district attor- ney, to ask whether he was to destroy or sell the liquor. Koelzer advised that it be turned over to Otto A. La Budee, collector of internal revenue. La Budee, however, refused to ac- cept the alcohol. Now the marshal is awaiting advice from the Chicago chief of the alcohol | tax unit, who he hopes has a solution.

Lloyd) Fisher will make the opening address to the jury and 1 will render the summation. “Our first witness will be Haupt- mann himself, and I expect that he will be on the stand under direct and cross-examination for about one day.” The State intended to resume Mon- day the final phase of its case—the ransom money trial leading to Haupt- mann’s arrest. William Frank of the United States Internal Revenue De- partment, who has been tracing Hauptmann's accounts, was among its witnesses. Ladder to Figure Again. The State has rescued the kidnap ladder from its place as an almost— but not quite—“forgotten figure” in the trial. State's attorneys said they would try again early next week to “get the ladder in” as evidence against Haupt- mann. Seventeen days ago Wilentz told the jury he would show them in due course that Hauptmann built the ladder, using in parts of it wood from his home in the Bronx; that he carried it to Hopewell for the kidnap- ing; that it cracked and he fell with the baby in his arms. Soon after the trial began, the State brought the ladder into court and sought to have it introduced in evidence. The defense objected, aft witnesses said it had been taken apart for examination. Haupimann's atwmeys said it must be shown to have a connection to him and proof must be offered that it is in the con- dition it was when found abandoned 70 feet from the Lindbergh home. Justice Trenchard agreed that the State must show that the ladder had been restored to its original condition. The State, then, seemed to loose all interest in the ladder. Days of testi- mony on other phases of the case passed. PFinally it was brought back to the court room yesterday. The metallurgist, Stanley R. Keith, who has an interesting story to tell of modern sleuthing with a few ordinary nails as clues, took the stand, but said only that after he got through with the nails he turned them back to the State police.
