T HE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1835. A 000000000000 BORAH CONFIDENT ! | OF INSIDE. ANGLE | At Least One Person i"j Lindbergh House Guilty, Says Senator. By the Associated Press. At least one person in the Lind- bergh household, who still is at large, | is guilty in connection with the kid- naping of the Lindbergh baby, in the | opinion of Senator Borah of Idaho. Declining to amplify his statement, | made in a few brief remarks yester- | day, the Senator said “I always have believed that the crime was consum- mated through some one in the house co-operating with some one outside | the house.” He believes the mystery | is only partly cleared up through the | conviction of Bruno Richard Haupt- | mann. | Senator Borah said that since read- | ing the trial testimony he is more convinced of this than ever. | “I have strong convictions about the matter,” the Senator said. “But 1 would not care to make them public. | I spoke merely as a citizen.” No Comment on Bruno. To questions as to whether he con- sidered Hauptmann guilty or what di- rection further investigation should take, he replied: “I wouldn't care to say anything | about that.” While the Idahoan has been most noted as a Senator, his first strides toward prominence were in connec- tion with criminal prosecution. As associate counsel he was a ma- | jor figure in the trial of the late | William (Big Bill) Haywood and his | wwo allies charged with the assassi- nation of Gov. Frank Steunenberg of Idaho in 1905. A jury acquitted two of them and a charge against the third was dismissed, but even the Jjudge in the case, Fremont Wood, de- clared in court his conviction the trio was involved. All the accused have since died—Haywood while in exile in Russia. The comment of Senator Borah was not the only reaction to the dramatic conviction of the German carpenter. Few ventured, however, to question whether the case was solved by the Jury verdict. Justice Seen by Ashurst. “I did not hear any of the evidence.” said Chairman Ashurst of the Senate Judiciary Committee, “but from the printed reports the verdict was just and righteous.” “It should have a good effect upon that character of crime,” was the ver- sion of Senator Townsend, Republican, of Delaware. A similar view was held by Chair-|® man Van Nuys of a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee considering the anti-| Iynching bill. “It was a very righteous and inspiring verdict,” he said. “It ought to be largely instrumental in| stamping out this infernal crime of | kidnaping.” 5 A bare hint of sympathy for the de- fense was carried in a comment of Senator Costigan, Democrat, of Col- grado. co-author of the anti-lynching i1l “I should say,” he observed, “that the verdict was not surprising. The' case was tried in an atmosphere of | intense public interest which pre- sented unusual difficulties for an at- torney for the defense. The universal sympathy for Col, Lindbergh and his wife was also an important factor in the decision.” HAUPTMANN.WITNESS' HOME UNDER WATCH Mrs. Auchenback, Who Testified for State, Recipient of Threat- ening Letters. By the Assoctated Press, NEW YORK, February 15.—Two police wireless cars cruised yesterday about the Bronx home of a prosecu- tion witness in the Hauptmann case, Mrs. Ella Auchenbach, who com- plained to police that she had re- ceived a number of threatening let- ters Mrs. Auchenbach was manager of & bakery in which Mrs. Anna Haupt- mann was employed in 1929.
