Ironically II was in a closet Of

nursery that the evidence was found
that connected II Vith the nursery

OF March /, 1882. a marauder
climbed up 10 the window and stole
the occupant.
The workmen first found a clev-
erly contrived and hidden locker
built above the door. A slab Of wood
that appeared merely a part Of the
wall. lifted out at touch. But on
the door lamb, written in pencil was
this notation: 2974 Decatur-Sedg-
wick 3-7l54. This the address and

Written on the back Of the door,
we're these notstions:

Authorities said these we're the
serial numbers Of two bills included
in the ransom. The official list Of
the serial numbers of ransom bills
did not show these numbers, how
erer.
The secret locker indicated TO de-
tectives the possibility that Haupt-
man, an expert carpenter and cab
met maker, might have built sim
i.nr lockers elsewhere in his house.
That the closet locker could have
contained ransom money and that
locker not yet found still might con-
tain some. provided motivation for
today's destructive search. Police
carpenters will restore the house to
its original condition later.
Hauptmann Immediately tripped
himself when he was questioned
about the find. He said he had been
papering the closet with newspapers,
discovered one that gave COndons
address and telephone number and
jotted them down because like ev-
eryone else he was interested in the
case.
Mr.. Foley pointed out that Con-
don's telephone number never was
published and If il had been at the
time Hauptmann said. it would not
have been Sedgwick 3-7154 as it was
changed two days before the ransom
was paid.
Makes Worst Blunder
While being questioned about the
serial numbers written on the door,
Hauptmann made his worst blunder.
He said he mad noted down the
number of bills given him by IsidOr
Fisch. a now dead furrier whom he
claims gave him all the ransom
money found in his garage. He said
he made the rotations in March,
1899.
Mr.. Foley Immediately pointed out
that previously he had said he did
not meet F1sch for the first time
until four months later. Hauptmann
hung his head. without answering.
He made no reply when Mr.. Foley
pointed out that he also had claimed
not to have known F1sch had given
him money until a few weeks before
he was arrested.
DR.. Condor received one tele-
phone call from the kidnaper while
ne was negotiating for the baby's
return.
Authorities have all but exon
Grated F1sch of any connection with
the crime.

 He was accompanied on, the studio tour by Joseph I. Breen, his assistant and the one-man jGry delegated by the producers to cen sor all future productions.
 While demands from some por- tions of the country were growing for Hays resignation, his support CTS here said his position was stronger than ever"
 Direct answer to the campaign for cleaner pictures came from Harry Cohn, president of one of the studios. who declared that his company would never again turn out a smutty picture. He added he knew of only one such produc- tion by the company.
 Other producers were silent, pre- ferring to let prepared statement from the Hays office handle the situation. This statement declared that the present controversy would doubtlessly be "of great value to the film industry"

Five of Seven Factories Open Tomorrow De-
 spite Present Strike

Dabury, July 10-(UP)-Rumb- lings of dissatisfaction were heard in the ranks of strikers as five of the seven fur factories which have been closed here for several weeks, announced they would open tomor- row but would not sign any agree ment with unions to guarantee permanent improvement in work ing conditions and wage scales.
 Approximately 100 workers went on strike, demanding increased wages and union recognition. A compromise settlement which was rejected and minor disturbances broke out, resulting in complete shutdown.
 A spokesman for five of the plants today announced we wip open to- morrow having agreed on a wage scale. However. we will sign no written agreement with so-called unions"
 Two plants announced they would remain closed. They employ about 200 workers.
 An -endeavor was made to settle differences up to late last night when Mrs Marion Pearson of the New York regional labor board conferred with manufacturers un- til late at night. She made no headway and returned to New York after being told the compa- nies would not recognize indepen- ent,unions and preferred to organ ize the workers under company unions.
 Because of previous disturbances in which several persons were hurt and . number arrested, police pre- pared to heavily guard the plants when they reopen tomorrow.

CROW FLED FROM TROOPERS WHEN
 FIRST LOCATED

 Into Forest

 A state trooper detected a mans form crawling through the dense brush and positively identified him as Crow. He fired five shots at him, but apparently missed.
 Troopers Mobilized
 Within few minutes a squad of troopers were mobilized. A hur- ried call to the Waterbury police was sent in and Sergeant James Gibbons sent several patrolmer and members of the motor patrol to the scene. The man hunt was again on in full swing.
 A flash from a Democrat re- porter on the scene at 2:10 o'clock stated that the woods were again filled with hurrying troopers and heavily armed cops and a num- Der of volunteers.
 The searching party was at tempting to cover a wide area and to prevent the escape of Crow from that immediate section of the dense woods.
 Local Police Ready
 The local police at press hour were in readiness to rush several more men to the scene. if Lieut. William Schatzman sounded the call.
 The attachment papers were Sheriff Nicholas Jamele over week ago. They were intended as legal notification to Crow that his land had been attached for the deaths of two victims.
 wolcott was in a great state of excitement this afternoon when the five shots were heard and autos went racing again along the coun- try highways.
 More Troopers on Way
 Word was also telephoned to the state police barracks at Beacon Falls for more troopers. An all- night hunt will be carried on, if necessary.
 For the first time in nearly two weeks the state police were con- fident to-day that their long pa- tience would be rewarded after days and night of alert watchful- ness and days spent in running down clues in various parts of the state
