Q.-DO you Always buy out
right?
A.-No. Sometimes on mar
gin.
Hauptmann was taken from
the Lineup" to a room in head
quarters where he was finger
printed.
And then-shortly before II a..
m.-he was started uptown to
the West Farms court for arraign-
ment.
Manacled to two detectives, he
was placed in black touring car
and preceded and followed by
other police cars as the journey
to the court was begun.
Hauptmann is about feet 8
inches tall, well built, blond
haired and has regular features.
He was a cabinet maker and car
penter out of work. He is a Ger
man who came to the United
States as a stowaway II years
ago and is illegally in this coun-
try. He is a former German army
machine gunner.
Made Mystery Trips
He is married. The Haupt-
MAINS have one child, Mannfried,
boy about 10 months old. His
wife, Anna, also a native German,
was a waitress in the Bronx be-
fore they were married.
Hauptmann was known in the
neighborhood, where he has been
living in the Bronx, for the past
five years or more as a quiet
man." He did not mix with his
neighborS and was regarded as
taciturn and inclined to sullen-
ness.
In 1892. shortly after the Lind
bergh kidnapping, he quit working
as a carpenter and his neighborS
heard he was specializing and
making good" in Wall Street.
Now and then he made mysterious
trips away from home-presum-
ably hunting expeditions to Can
ada.
Specimens of his handwriting,
found in his home, were under
the closest scrutiny to determine
whether he was the author of the
original ransom note. It was re-
ported that experts found that his
penmanShip tailed with the
chirography of the kidnap note.

Hauptmann was then taken to
the county jail in the Bronx
and locked up. He will be held
there until the court action on
Monday.
Hauptmann's past record came
up to bedevil him today. It had
been known that he had a
criminal record in Germany, hav-
ing served three years in prison
there after the war for theft.
Today, however. further details
Of his past were revealed when
he was identified through records
of the local immigration bureau
as Karl Pellmeir, German burglar
and escaped convict who Iisked
death in a desperate attempt to
enter America.
Escaped in 1923
In his first attempt TO enter
America in July, 1923, he buried
himself under the coal bunker Of
the North German Lloyd Liner
Hanover with only an iron pipe
to supply him with air. He was
caught, placed in the ships brig
and when the Hanover docked
at Hoboken, N. j., on July IA,
1923, was turned over to the i'm
migration authorities at Ellis
Island. He was deported.
There is not record of his legal
entry into the United States.
International News Service ad-
vices from Kamenz, Germany, said
a man named Bruno Hauptmann
escaped from the prison there in
1923. He had been detained for
theft.

that he went as a StoWaway to
America where he had a married
sister.
The Hauptman who escaped
from the German prison anne
from a poor family and his
mother is still living in Kamenz.
She has received letters from him
from the United States.
When questioned by Police In
spector John F. Sullivan, Haupt-
mann hemmed and hawed and
was evasive in his replies to In
spector Sullivan's questions. He
mumbled his answers and had
to be told to talk louder. He
frequently contradicted himself.
Relates Early U. S. Life
Inspector Sullivan began his
interrogation of Hauptmann by
explaining the entire background
of the Lindbergh case. AS the
police official talked, the prisoner
shifted uneasily from one foot. to
another.
Q.-Where did you get the
$13,75O?
A.-FrOm friend of mine,
who went to Germany. He gave
it to me to keep for him but
he died in Germany.
Q.-Did the friend make any
provision of What should be done
with the money?
A.-NO, I didn't even know 1t
was money; 1 thought it was
paper, or something wrapped up.
I didn't know anything diff
ferent until three week ago.

Moro Castle Testimony Will
Bring Order; Hoover Will
Consult Roper Here
BY KENNETH T. DOWNS

NEW YORK, Sept. 81 GN.SO.
An immediate inspection of all
passenger vessels to determine
the presence of inflammable pol
ishes will be ordered by the De-
partment of Commerce as a re-
suit of testimony today in the
investigation of the MORO Castle
disaster.
Used on Leviathan, Claim
Dickerson N. Hoover. chairman
of the Federal investigation,
made this announcement after
William Derringh, of New York,
a waiter, had testified inflam-
mable polishes we're widely used
on the Leviathan and other pas
senger vessels on which he had
worked. The polishes are strictly
forbidden by law.
Mr.. Derringh denied he knew OF
the use of any of this strictly for
hidden polish aboard the MORO
Castle, however.
Mr.. Hoover angrily demanded
if Mr.. Derringh knew of this prac
tice on other ships. He answered:
eyes," stewards use it on
other ships where they don't
get good metal polish. 1 could
get it myself today if I wanted
to-"
Mr.. Hoover asked:
why did you take inflamma-
BILE pOlishes aboard the Levia-
than when you knew it was dan.
gerous, and human lives were at
stake?
The witness, highly confused,
mumbled:
ut was a long time ago.
everybody has been getting
Stricter about pOliShes in the last
10 years."
The hearing was adjourned un-
til Monday. Mr.. Hoover decided
to delay questioning other officers
again until he had conferred with
Secretary of Commerce Roper. He
will go to Washington tonight.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-If any
one person could be said to be
responsible for the capture of the
Lindbergh baby kidnaper-murderer
that person is Lieut.. James Finn,
of the New York detective force,
small, slim, wiry and soft speak
ing man who is anything but the
popular idea of detective.
From almost the very night on
which the Lindbergh baby was
snatched from his crib at Hope
we'll, Lieutenant Finn has worked
constantly on the case.
Won Lindbergh Friendship
Lieutenant Finn was one of the
three detectives assigned to guard
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh on the
famous aviator's triumphal return
to New York after his epochal
flight to Paris. The detectives
calm patience in handling the
countless persons trying to meet
the aviator won Colonel Lind
bergh's respect and friendship.
The detective was dining with
Harry A. Bruno, personal repre-
sentative of Colonel Lindbergh,
when the news of the kidnapping
was received. He commented:
"Jeze, I'd like to be put on
the case"
It wasn't long until the then
Police Commissioner Edward p,
Mulrooney asked Col Henry
Breckenridge, Colonel Lindbergh'S
lawyer, what assistance he could
give Colonel Lindbergh. He was
told that one man who was want
ed on the case was Lieutenant
Finn. And Lieutenant Finn, who
already unofficially was on the
case, was definitely assigned to it.
Writer Introduces Scientist
Leigh Matteson, international
News Service science writer who
early developed the lone maniac
theory, met Lieutenant Finn in
one of his first visits to police
headquarters. Mr.. Matteson was
