commissioner.
He based his opinion on predictions
Of q mild winter for the state by the
federal weather bureau.
I'VE feel that we have very little 70

he said.

Reports Of birds dying In sections Of
the state where there Is no snow Is

STATE NOT TO USE
new 'AL|B| LAW IN
HAUPTMANN TRIAL
Could Demand Notice Of Intent
to Prove Suspect Not at
Scene Of Crime

Pennington, N. j.. Dec. T.-(R1-
The state Of New Jersey, m official
source said Thursday. has decided to
ignore one Of the cards In It's hand
against Bruno Richard Iauptmann-
its new "alibi law"
BY invoking the law. passed BY the
1894 legislature, the state could force
Hauptmann's defense to give notice Of
any intention to claim that Haupt-
mann was not Ut the scene OF the
Nndbergh kidnapping at the time Of
the crime.
The official source said the state
has determined not to invoke the law
before the trial starting next We'd
:,esday, because its constitutionality
never has been tested. The states at
torneys therefore fear it might be
made grounds for an appeal.
The decision left the way open for
surprise witnesses" The law was de-
bated keenly by the legislature, its
sponsors arguing that 1t would pre-
vent lawyers from introducing such
witnesses at the eleventh hour.
Under the law. at the states de-
mand, the defense In criminal case
must give notice Of its intention to
prove that the defendant was else
where than ct the scene Of the crime
five days before evidence Is presented.
Witnesses to the alibi must be listed.
The state is known to be planning
an aggressive attempt to show that
Hauptmann was near the Hopewell
home Of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh
March /, 1882, when Lindbergh's In
FAINT son was abducted.
A grey-bearded old man appeared
last week at the Hunterdon county
Jail and paced outside Hauptmann's
cell, hating now and then to peer In
tently ct the prisoner. A state official
later said the mysterious visitor was
one "of at least five" residents Of the
sourland Mountain region to testify
that Hauptmann was near Hopewell
before the crime.
