THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, JUNE 9, 1935—PART ONE. "ERRORS CHARGED T0 RUND JUDEE Counsel Hauptmann | Raise Question of Place of Death. for By the Associated Press. | TRENTON, June 8.—The defense of Bruno Richard Hauptmann today cited six sections of the jury charge of Justice Thomas W. Trenchard, contending they contained ‘‘manifest | error.” In an “amendment” to their as-| signments of error filed with the Court of Errors and Appeals in the appeal | from Hauptmann's conviction of the Lindbergh baby slaying, the defense | objected to the justice’s references to the alleged death of the child in East | Amwell Township, Hunterdon County. | The body was found in Mercer | County and the defense has raised a question whether trial should not have | been held there, rather than at Flem- | ington. | There was “‘manifest error.” the de- fense contended, in the statement of the justice that “from the evidence | you may conclude, if you see fit, that the child was feloniously stricken on | the first day of March, 1932, in the Township of East Amwell, in this| county, and died as a result of that stroke.” The amendment was signed by the three defense counsel, Egbert Rose- crans, C. Lloyd Fisher and Frederick A. Pope. They also objected to the justice's charge that if the murder was com- mitted in perpetrating a burglary it ‘was murder in the first degree. | The objections to the charge in- cluded the justice’s reference to the *overwhelming” testimony of the hand- writing experts that Hauptmann wrote the ransom notes. “The defense said there was another | “manifest error” in the justice's| charge concerning the ransom notes | and testimony identifying the writing. Another part of Justice Trench- ard's charge to which the defense ob- Jected concerned “the probable conse- | quences” of bloodshed in the theft of the child. | JUNGL 'one of some 40 similar crganizations Handicapped Job Factory for , Inc.” Seeks Work for Unemployables in Capital. “Goodwill Industries HERE is a firm in Washington I which manufactures jobs. It's sole purpose is to create work for the nandicapped. “Gainful occupations” are its principal stock in trade, and so far it has no| overproduction problems. | It is known as “The Washington | Goodwill Industries, Inc.” and has a slogan which promises: “A chance, rather than charity. | Just now it is planning a $10,000 | campaign to promote its aim of giving unemployable persons in the National | | Capital a break in the form of hcnesv.; | work and pay checks. | ‘Through its method of operation, as explained today by 8. L. Thomas. superintendent, the organization gives| work to persons who because of some handicap are unable to obtain posi-| tions in regular lines of employment. | ‘These persons are paid wages of $1.5 per day from profits they themselves | make and the surplus accumulated | goes toward overhead expenses and | increasing the number of positions for | the handicapped. As an example of procedure, Mr. Thomas explained, a handicapped person is paid to go from house to house to collect old clothes or other discarded things. Then, for instance, an old suit of clothes so collected will be repaired by another handicapped worker who will receive $1.50 per day for repairing it. The average worker | will repair, within a day, three cld suits, which are then sold for from $1.50 to $2 each. The funds thus| derived pay the several workers and produce a small surplus for overhead expenses. The same procedure applies | to shoes and the other articles. | | Indorsed by Churches. Washington's Goodwill Industries is in other cities and was started here about two months ago by Mr. Thomas, | who formerly headed a similar organ- ization in Roanoke, Va. Recently it was incorporated under District law and | has received the indorsement of the Washington Federation of Churches. Since its operation here, it has given gainful employment to approximately 30 persons, Mr. Thomas said. He hopes, however, to increase the number em- Come and gel them; Shriners! / A eorking good ] E HATS ployed to possibly 100 a day within the next several months. The organization operates without profit and specializes in giving work to aged persons and cripples. Other “unemployables,” for one reason or another, also are given work. Plans are under way to interest the young people of Washington Sun- day schools in the work of the organ- | ization and have them raise the $10.- 000 necessary to promote large-scale | operation by the corporation. At present the organization is operating a shoe repair shop at its headquarters at 807 Mount Vernon | place and giving employment to nine persons. Tufts Heads Board. W. O.

Brindley, first vice | president; Mrs. Karl Fenning, second vice president, and Mrs. E. W. Mur- ray, secretary. Dr. W. L. Darby, ex- | ecutive secretary of the Washington | Federation of Churches, is director of | publicity. The budget of the various Goodwill groups over the country last year totaled $3,250,000, of which more than $2,000,000 was paid out to the handi- capped in wages, Mr. Thomas said. | The organization has its national | headquarters in Boston, where its first unit began operation more than 30 years ago. The organization does not give | things away, it is emphasized, but | seeks rather to head folks toward self-support by furnishing the work and wages through things which otherwise would be wasted. LIBRARY GETS MUSIC Arts Club of Washington Makes Presentation. A collection of music, the work of contemporary composers, has been | presented to the Public Library by the | Arts Club of Washington. A few years ago Mrs. Charles Bittin- | is president of the corporation’s Board | ger, who is associated with the club, | of Trustees, and James C.
