" Sitting.

(A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire) TRENTON, N. J., Jan. iii-Gov. _ ernw-Hsrold G. Hoffman said to- day a handwriting expert 1m; ox. pressed the definite opinion the writer of a letter signed "J. J. Faulkner," declaring Bruno Richard Hauptmann innocent was the sign- er of a deposit slip for $2,000 of Lindbergh ransom bills in 1933. The Governor asked whether the Faulkner letter, in his opinion, implicated anyone other than I-lauptmann in the crime, said if the letter is from the same person who signed the slip it would be an indication "that someone other than Hauptmann was in the pos- session of some of the money. NEW YORK, Jan. l0—Dr. John F. "Jafsie" Condon, star witness for the state in the conviction of Bruno l-lauptmann for the kidnap- ping of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr., boarded the S. S, Santa Rita late today. bound for Latin America. Declaring his part in the famous kidnapping case was ended, “Jaf- sie" added that he was seeking a rcst and would be away indefin- iteiy, Even as he boarded the ship his name again entered the case. Governor Hoffman of New Jer- sey, who tomorrow will sit with other members of the state Court of Pardons to hear Hauptmanna plea to save himself from death in the electric chair next week, an- nounced he had requested a maga- zine to forward him the manu- script of a recent article by Dr. Condon in which he purportedly "told all’: about the kidnapping and murder case.

Milton Trlies, near neighbor of the Bannlsters on the Berry Mills Road, five miles from Moncton, said the first time he saw the baby in the Bannister home was last Monday. Police declared the child's appearance corresponded with descriptions given by neigh- bors of the Lake family regarding the six-months-old infant pre- viously believed cremated when her father, 30, mother. 28, and brother, 20 months old, died sometime Sun- day night.

A quarrel ensued when Luke made improper proposals to the girl and a club flung by the man struck his wife, inflicting a fatal wound.
