ing watched and that he was bent
on getting away.
They arrested him and found an
other Of the ransom bills on his per-
SON. At his home they found pair
of shoes which had been purchased
recently at a shoe store whose pro-
prietor accepted a gold certificate in
payment certificate later identified
as one of the Lindbergh bills.
Wife Also Quizzed.
Hauptmann was locked up and i'm
mediately put on the grill Of police
interrogation. His wife, Anna-like
himself, a German-also was taken
for questioning. They are the par
ents of a child II months old. Mrs.
Hauptmann formerly was a waitress
in a Bronx restaurant. They were
married about five years ago.
With the recovery Of the $l3,750
in the Hauptmann garage. there still
is approximately $4,000 of the ram
som payment unaccounted for. Fur
ther search Of the Hauptmann prem
ises is under way today.
The home of the Hauptmanns Is
at 1879 East 222d street, sparsely
settled part of tine Bronx. The house
is four miles from the entrance to
Woodlawn Cemetery where "Jafsie"
held a preliminary conference with
the ransom seeker. "JafSie's" home
is about an equal distance from the
cemetery.
St. Raymond's Cemetery, where the
ransom was finally paid, is about
six miles from where the Hauptmanns
live.
Throughout the never -ceasing
search for the man who got the
Lindbergh cash the authorities have
felt that the eventual solution would
lead them back to the Bronx. From
time to time gold certificates made
their appearance, but always the orig
inal source was far in the background
by the time police got word of it.
The questioning of Hauptmann was
finally ended, at least temporarily, at
6:15 o'clock this morning eastern
in a headquarters cell.
His respite was not to be long.
Faced Arraignment.
Following the lineup there was
another swift ride back to his home
borough, the Bronx, where he faced
arraignment.
Although DR.. Condor was unable to
make positive Identification of Haupt-
, mann as the man who got the ransom
money, a taxicab driver identified the
suspect as the one who gave him q
note to deliver to Condor four days
after Condor had advertised his readi-
ness to act as intermediary in the alb
duction case.
That's the man." said the cab
driver, putting his hand on Haupt-
mann.
"You are not telling the truth"
said Hauptmann.
Three storekeepers of the Bronx
pointed out Hauptmann as the man
who in recent weeks has passed Lind
bergh money" over their counters.
Hauptmann's wife was questioned.
but police did not indicate what they
learned from her. A minor dis
turbance was created last night when
she was taken to a restaurant for
dinner and was recognized by per-
sons in the street. Some one cried:
Kill her!" and police reserves were
called, putting down the disorder.
Worked as Carpenter.
During the five years Hauptmann
has lived on the upper floor of the
Bronx house he has never worked at
his trade of carpenter, SO far as
neighbors could say today. He habit
ually left home each morning, they
said, taking bus to the subway and
the subway downtown-"to the stock
market" as he told those inquisitive
ones who pressed him for some ex-
PLANTATION of his means Of livelihood.
Hauptmann owned a sedan. pur-
