a BY Till ls AGAIN IDENTIFIED

Police And Medical Men Testify at Trial of Daniel Bannister.

KO. P. By Guardian's Special Wire) DOHOIIESTW, N. B., April 3.—- llcr the third time in three trials, bonnie, blue-eyed baby Betty Lake, unwitting cause, the Crown con- tends, of Eastern Canada's first murder-kidnap case, was identified in court here today as the baby found in the Bannister home.

Accompanying t-he identification of the ward of’ the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, came testimony that Daniel Bannister, 20-year-old Youth on trial for the murder of Philip Inks, was known to police before he was taken into custody for questioning regarding the mur- der.

Inspector H. V. Harris of the Moncton city police said on the wit- ness stand that he knew the accus- ed and had taken him into custody two or three years before. He was "sue about details and was not Dressed for further information. He did hot say what the charge was or if there was any charge.

Baby lake's appearance was one of a few minutes only. The smiling, Cwlns. eight-months old baby was bfflllsht into court by a police mat- ron and identified. She was im- medlll-BTY whisked out again.

TOdITs session was dull and with- out interest. The evidence was giv- en chiefly by police and medical men and dealt for the greater part with details of events following the finding of Lake's body. and medical leslllnony regarding its condition

tlmony of as witnesses.

Colonel Ilindbersh and his wife, Amie Morrow Lindbergh, described the happenings of the black, windy fllsht their flsrt-born son was stol- en. The jury heard the story a3. ain from the lips of Betty 50w, thedsrk-eyec Scottish nurse. Eight handwriting experts swore Haupt- mann wrote the nursery ransom note and the communications which followed later.

Millard Whited, a backwoodsman, and aged Amandus Hochmutll tes- tified they saw Hauptmann near the Lindbergh estate before the kidnapping. Dr. John F. Condon, ti. i “Jafsie" of the ransom negotia- tions, identified Hauptmann as the recipient of the money on the night of April 2, 10:12, at st. Rhy- mond's Cemetery, the Bronx.

New Jersey‘ state police ofllcers, Nlew York police officers, federal agents testified; and finally one of the most convincing witnesses of them all was put on the stand: Ar- thur_J. Koehler, federal wood ex- pert.

Rail 16

Rail 1d of the kidnap ladder, he swore, was made from a. piece of flooring, taken from Hauptmanns attic in the Bronx. Hauptmannb carpenter tools were used to con- struct the ladder, Koehler said. He supported his points with p‘..,'.w- graphs of microscopic enlal-gemzlls of plane marks on the wood and pictures of the matched grains.

Colonel Lindbergh swore Haupt- mann was the man whose voice he heard the night of the ransom pay- ment, calling "here, doktor!" to Dr. Condon.

Against this mass of evidence the defence tried to establish alibis for Hauptmann for the nights of the kidnapping and the ransom payment. It called one ahnll-writ- lng expert who said it was his op- inion Hauptmann did not write the notes.

The defence colored with suspi- cion the names of three persons who had died: Isldor Fisch, Violet Sharpe, maid in the Morrow home who committed Suicide, and Ollie Whht/z-ley, butler in the Hopewell home.

It called “practice? wood experts to dispute the findings of Koehler.

Haupilmanns Story Hauptmannls own story of his sudden acquisition of wealth from a shoebox left in his possession by the late lsidor lfisch, friend and

business partner. apparently left the jury incredulous. Through the technicalities of

handwriting testimony, the oom- plexlties of Harlptmanlfs stock market transactions and his busin- css relations with l-"isch. I.ind- berghs interest never flagged. He attended every session of the trial, always composed. even when the de- tails of the finding of his son's body 72 days after the kidnapping were uncovered.

Hauptmann manlfmted less re- straint. Once he shouted to federal agent Thomas H. Sisk to stop "ly- ing." Buf, on the whole he was calm and confident. His wlfe, Anna. pale. anxious, pltied by spectators. disrupted the proceedings once by crying out to a woman witness that she was lying.

At the end of the long, drama- tic triai Hauptmann heard the jury pronounce him guilty.

With the defence contending that Hauptmannh trial was a “circus maximus," an appeal was heard on June 20, and on Oct 9 the unani- mous opinion of the court upohid- lng the death sentence was handed.

Then the case went to the Un- ited States Supreme Court with a defence claim that Ha-uptmanws constitutional rights had been viol- ated, but the hish court overruled the plea for a review of the trial

d road, B00 yards from the court proceedings.

rue-nus - Bllllfimlnn, prisoner no. 17,400, remained in the death cell two 111119: away as Justice Tronchard on Dec. l3 re-sentenced him to die d“. l!!! the week of Jan. i3.

Meanwhile. Governor Hamid G. Hoffman had entered the case, making a secret nocturnal visit to the condemned man in hs cell. RA- vealing it later, the governor said he had doubts as to Hauptmarlms Built. .

A new sensation developed in the secret sailing of Col. and . Lindbergh, with their second son, Jon, for a temporary exile in Wales.

The court of pardons, of which the governor is a. member, met in a day-Ions semen Jan. 11 and re- jected I-Lauptmanxrs appeal for mercy.

All seemed lost. for Hsuptmann, though he maintained his calm and confidence. His wife went to see him presumably for the last ‘time. l-fe was to die at eight p. m. Jan. 27.

But on the afternoon of Jan. 16 the governor signed a reprieve, good to Feb. 15. The attorney gen- eral said it was illegal, contending the governefs reprieve powers ex- pired 90 days after conviction.

On Feb. 19 Justice ‘rrenchard ag- ain fixed a new execution date- the third—for the week of March 30.

Governor Active

But the governor was still active. He questioned Millard Whlted. the Sourlands witness. He cast doubts on the testimony of the aged Hoch- muth.

He sent Robert Hicks, a crimin- ologist, to Florida and to Havana. In Cuba Hicks looked into reports that a letter, signed “Isidor fisch" offering to dispose of “hot” money, had been sent to a. German in Ha- vana before Pisch died.

0n March 26, Hoflman in the company of l-iauck. Wllentz. Koeh- ler and his own wood expert, Arch W. Loney, Washington engineer, went to the Bronx house to look at the attic. '

There was a. disagreement over the depth of the nail holes in the joists in which, the state contended, ladder rail 16 had been atached. The joists were cut and a woody substance was found 1n each hole.

The substance removed, the holes were found of normal depth. The Governor said LOHCy had reported to him he did not believe rail 16 came from the attic.

And on the following day the governor said he was ready to grant a second reprieve if the prosecu- tion would show him hc had the legal. power. He said he felt Haupt- menu's trial reeked “of unfairness, prejudice and passion."

Purpnrted “Confesslon" On March 28 a purported “con-

fession" and the arrest of a second man in connection with the kid-

napping and murder was an- nounced. The ‘confession’ was obtained by a private investigator, Ellis H. Parker, and Governor Hoffman called the court of par- dons to meet Monday on Haupt- menu's second plea for clemency.

The case was thrown into con- fusion March 29 when James Kirk- ham. chief of Mercer County de- tectives, obtained a warrant charg- ing Paul H. Wendel, a disbarred Trenton lawyer with the murder of the Lindbergh child. Attorney Gen- erai Wilentz said Wendel had re- pudiated the "confession" and claimed it was obtained under dur- css.

On March 30, the day before the scheduled execution. the court of pardons denied f-fauptmannfis sec- 0nd appeal for clemency, and gov- ernor Hoffman termed the decision “the final legal action in the

Evidence Presented at Flemington Trial.

(A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire) TRENTON, N. J., April 3.—The

Flemington trial testimony that doom ’ Bruno Richard Haupt- mann:

Col. Charles A. Lindbergh (des- cribing the volce of the man who collected the $50,000 ransom): “I heard clearly a voice coming from the cemetery. It said “hey dok-tor“ in a foreign accent. That was Hauptmanns voice."

Dr. John F. Condon, ransom neg- otiator: “ ‘John’ is Bruno Richard l-lauptnlann."

Clark Sellers, handwriting expert: “So convincing to my mind it is that Mr. Hauptmann wrote each and everyone of these ransom notes that he might just as well have signed each and every one of them."

Arthur Koehler, wood expert: “Those two pieces (rail 16 of the ladder and the floorboard from Hauptmanws attic) at. one time were one piece. They have been cut in two. The nail holes (in rail 16) fit exactly in the four nail holes which were in those attic joists. . . . Hauptmanns plane was used to plane the ladder."

Joseph A. Perrone, taxi driver who delivered a. ransom note to Dr. Ccndon: “Bruno Richard Haupt- nrann. Thai; is the man who gave me the letter."

Frank J. Wilson, federal agent: "Not a single ransom bill has been passed since the apprehension of Hauptmann."

Millard Whlted, Lindbergh neigh- bor: “I did see I-lauptmann at Hopewell before the kidnapping.”

Amandus Hochmuth, Lindbergh neighbor: “Hauptmann glared at me as if he saw a ghost. There was a. ladder in his car."

Mrs. Ella Achenbach, Hauptmann neighbor: “He walked with a limp on the left leg after the kidnap- ping." (The state claims he injur- ed his leg when the ladder broke.)

Inspector Henry D. Bruokman, New York police: “We found this address-Dr. Condon's-—on a board in the closet of the Hauptmann home."

Edward F. Morton, timekeeper of the building where Hauptnlann worked at the time of the kidnap- ping: “On April 2, the date the ran- som was paid, Bruno Richard Hairptmann did not work. He re- signed."

The silent witness: $14,600 in ran- som money found in the Haupt- mann garage.

Hauptrnannw Defence

mnwrou, N. J.. April 3- Hauptmenns defence-the story which a jury of his peers and five higher courts found incredulous:

“Isidor Fisch left with me a. lit- tle box, a shoe box. I put it in the broom closet, forgot about it. Months later I damaged the box when I was taking a. broom out of the closet. I saw money-gold ran- som) certificates. I put it in the wash boiler and brought it down to the garage, hid it."

A. “I was not)’.

Q "Did you write notes?"

Cost of Investigation, Trial

TRENTON, N. J.. April 3—Brlmo Richard Hsuptmann, a petty thug in his native Germany and an 11. legal dweller in the United States, lived to becom in 16 dramatic months the biggest financial lia- bility American criminal history has ever known.

The total expense of Bruno Hauptmann to the American peo- ple was computed today at more than $2,000,000 as follows:

Federal government investigation

$800,000. New York city police and courts $250,000.

New Jersey, trial $162,000 plus other expenscg since.

Col. Lindbergh paid $50,000 ran- som. most of it lost, the rest in the courts pending settlement.

Mrs. Evelyn Walsh McLean, Washington, paid $100,000 in fake ransom plot tn Gaston B. Means, who was sentenced to penitentiary as a result.

Defence costs for Hauptmarln ab- out $43,000.

Newspapers, press associations, news reel companies, special-writ- ers, at least $265,000. Telephone, telegraph and cable costs added an- other $250,000.

Reward of 325.000 by state of New Jersey remains to be paid.

The smallest cost of’ all was for the electric current required to ex- ecute Hauptmann: one cent.

Seeks Further Information Re Relief Reduction

(GP. ‘By Guardian's Special Wire)

OTTAWA, April 3—A series of questions respecting the l5 per cent reduction in relief announced by the government, has been placed on the order paper of the House of Commons by T. L. Church, Conser- vative member for Toronto-Blond- view.

“Will 15 per cent reduction on relief apply to and affect the larger municipalities over 100,000 popula- tion who hcve prepared their burl- gefs for 1936 based on receiving 75 per cent from the Dominion?" Mr. Church asks.

"Will the 15 per cent be deduct- ed from this 75 per cent on muni- cipality accounts?

“Will any direct contributions for

1936 be given the larger municipal- ities for relief other than the above? ' Mr. Church also wants t0 kIlOW if any terms, corTditions, or regula- tions have been placed on these grants to the provinces "to protect municipalities from unfair deduc- tions made for growing expenses of the provinces which they deduct therefrom, thus reducing municipal grants received."

VETERANS’ PRUBTEMS REVIEWED

Steady Improvement Noted In Handling 0f War Veterans’ Affairs.

OTTAWA, April 3—Represefit- atives of only the larger organiz- ations of err-service men will be heard by the Parliamentary com- mittee on veterans affairs, but other groups will have thc oppor- tunity to submit their own views in writing, it was agreed by the com- mittee here today. J. T. Tliorson (Lib. Selkirk), chairman of the steering sub-committee, reported receipt of communications from a number of organizations desiring- to send witnesses at the govern- ment expense.

He felt it would bc superfluous to accede to their request unless the spokesmen for the larger or- galllzations did not adequately cover the subjects under consid- oration.

“How many of these organiz- ations arc there in Canada any- way?” asked Pensions Nllnister C. G. Power, who was in the chair.

“some time ago I think there were at least 47," declared Col. W. C. H. Wood of Quebec, Dominion president of the army and navy.

“Thai; must have been years ago," declared Brig-General Alex Ross, Dominion president of the Canadian Legion. “There have been hundreds of mushroom or- ganizations springing up in the 1185i; few years."

Today Colonel Wood and General Ross were heard. The position of the larger organizations with re-
