Compared Signatures

In considerable detail. Mr. Far- mer told the court how he had compared recognized genuine sig- natures of Henderson with the signature of the disputed docui- ment. To def/amine the genuine- ness or spurlousness ci the pur- ported certlficate, witnesses said he hadwicsmiped age gross or con- spicuous features? er minute and the microscopic features, or the document, with admitted signatur- es of Henderson.

There were differences in the slope, singularity and in the pro- portions of the length of the sig- nature in the disputed certificate with accepted signatures of the ‘Iii year old retired shipping mgistrsr, stated‘ Mr. Farmer.

Filed By Logan

The disputed certiiicaie was filed by Senator Ingan with the repar- ation commissioner as proof of ownership by Hatfield of the three- masted schooner. Henderson on the stand yesterday denied signing the document, while Senator Logan st sittings oi the royal commission held by Chief Justice Horace Haf- vey of Alberta. two years ago swore Henderson had signed the certifi- cate.

“Jafsie” S t i c k s To Story That Haupt- mann Is “John”, the Cemetery Ransom Taker.

(By John Ferris) (Alocistcd Press Staff Writer) (AI. By Guardian's Special Wire)

HEIMINGGZON, N. J., Jan. l0- A tired but firm accuser, Dr. John F. "Jafsie" Condon stepped into the background of Bruno Richard Hauptmanrfs murder t :'|l today to watch the stale of New Jersey seek to cement its charge that the kid- nsp-murder of the Lindbergh baby was a one-man job.

Prosecutors, much of their grim story already told, began the te- dious but important task of trying to link the carpenter's handwriting with the long series of cryptic notes in the ghastly ransom hoax-~$50,- 000 for a dead baby. '

"Jafsie," the '14 year old former school teacher who paid Col. Char- les A. Lindbergh's $50,000 for the baby already slain, stepped down from a seven-hour witness stand ordeal unshalmn in his story that Hauptmann is "John," the ceme- tery ransom taker. t

His story was corroborated, his good faith affirmed by Col. Lind- bergh's attorney, Col. Henry Breck- inrldge, and "daisies" own daugh- ter, Mrs. Myra Hacker, bore him out.

Both father and daughter re- pulsed insinuations that tic." ran- com man might have been the late Isador lllisch, tubercular German who, Hauptmahh claims, gave him the tell-tale ransom bills.

And auction's relentless inquisi- tor, Edward J. Reilly, chief of Hauptmanzvs counsel, failed to get "Jaisie" to uphold the defence con- tention that a “gang" kidnapped and killed the baby on the night ocf MB-rch 1. 1932.

Samples of the carpenter's hand- writing, penned 15 hours after he was caught in New York with thousands of dollars in ransom bills. were introduced through tho testimony of New York and New Jersey police officers.

Fighting back sharply, the car- penter's defenders insmuated the samples were obtained under dur- ess.

Obviously- weary, but keen and exact in his responses, the big for- mer ieacher in the baggy black suit gave way to Col. Breckinridge after brief re-dlrcct examination in which he described one of “his re- plies yesterday as “an error."

The defence put him through 2 l-2 hours additional riiorous cross-examination and sought con- tinuously through w variety oi leads to impeach the aged Jamie's credi- bility.

There was little of yesterday's banter exchanged between the flor-

sulnviiui MAY a E RESTUREII

Civil Servants Receive Assurance F i: o m Finance Minister - Revenues Up $30,- 000,000.

(or. By Guardian's Special who)

OTTAWA, Jan. iii-Representa- tives of the various organisations of civil servants from coast to coast received today from Finance Min- ister E. N. Rhodes assurance that the government would give every consideration to their request for restoration of the ten percent sal- ary deductions now in effect three years. But full restoration would depend upon revenues and a bal- anced budget, the minister stated.

spokesmen for the delegation ex- pressed themselves as hopeful that th -- " with respect to sal- aries, statutory increases, pYOmW ticns and superannuations, would receive favorable consideration.

Two sets of estimates are being prepared for presentation to Par- liament, one with the salary de- ductions continued and the other with salaries restored. One or the other will be presented as soon as possible after parliament meets. But presentation of the estimates with the deduction continued would not necessarily mean that restoration would not be made, Mr. Rhodes intimated. It was desirable to leave the decision as late as possible in order to ascertain what the rev- enue will have leached at the end of the fiscal year.

Dominion revenues are now near- ly $30,000,000 above the figures for the last fiscal year. with nearly three months to run. Iest year there was a deficit on ordinary ac- count cf ‘$22,000,000. in addition the current year had seen expen- ditures not foreseen in the lest es- timates, of about $8,000,000. To re- storc the salaries and statuory in- creases would cost about $7,000,000.

Ii the revenues, at the end of the current fiscal year reach s point where they are $87,000,000 greater than for the pievicus year. the salaries wuld be restored and. Mr. Rhodes would be in a position to present a. budget balanced on ordinary account. No assurance .cculd he givenmhowever. the min- ister said. beyond the promise that sympathetic consideration would be given.

llbrpenditines dining ti» current year, not provided in the last esti- mates, included over $2,000,000 for general election preparations, far- mers creditors srran t act and other new leglslati , old age pensions increases, technical edu- cation grants, coal subsidies, Meri- tlme freight rates, ‘ 1 her- bor bridge guarantees, and many other items.

V. 0. Phelsn. Ottawa, heed d the civil service federation. acted as spokesman. He asked for full restoration oi normal salaries to all civil servants, renewal of the custom of statuary increases and promotions. extension of the super- annuation act to take in those working 0n prevailing rates of pay. and that umporary workers hold- frig pmicfons ordinarily permanent be placed on the permanent list.

It was claimed by Mr. Phelsn that msnv large corporations hsd restored their salary lists to nor- mal and that improvement in con- ditions in the last l8 months should fustlfy the government doing the 581119.

The rudderless three-master Fieldwood, out of Windsor. N. S.. was taken in tow today in Vine- yard Sound by the United States cutter Argo, which reported that Captain Harris Oxner of the dis- abled craft had been drowned.
