u WOMEN ON
MURDER PANEL
Third Degree Charges Are
Barred by Hauptmann
as Trial NearS.

81 LHitcd Press
BENNINGTON. N. J.. Dec. 81
Selection of q women in the special
panel of 48 from which a jury will
be selected to try Bruno Hauptmann
on a charge of numbering Charles
A. Lindbergh Jr., pleased defense
attorneys today j. Lloyd Fisher,
Of defense counsel, revealed that he
was quite satisfied" with the selec-
ton of so many women on the Spe-
cial panel
quite satisfied" with the selection
of so many women on the special
panel.
Drawing Of the talesmen and
agreement by defense and prosecu-
ton on the scheduled trial date.
Jan. 2, apparently cleared away
much of the doubt concerning a
possible delay due to jury tampering
charges.
AS ocurt preparations for the trial
were completed details of Haupt-
mann's statement charging police
with hird-degree tactics were re-
vealed. The defendant alleged he
was beaten with his own carpen-
ter's hammer after his arrest last
Sept 10.
Hauptmann said he was beaten
unconscious in a private room Of the
Greenwich-st. Police Station IN New
York City, where police and Federal
authorities questioned him. He said
40 fny
and his statement was supported
by a report attributed to Dr. Thurs
ton H. Dexter of Brooklyn, N. Y.
The examination was alleged to have
shown that the prisoners head,
back, chest. abdomen and thighs
we're bruised
New York police denied all
charges of brutality in handling the
German carpenter. High officials
insisted that Hauptmann had been
treated more gently than the aver
age prisoner. Because of the i'm
portance of the case and the usual
presumption that a prisoner will
charge he has been beaten into sub
mission if he has the slightest pre-
text, the police said they were
doubly careful in Hauptmann's case
to give no grounds for complaint.
Physical examinations of the
prisoner when he was brought to
Pennington showed, officially. that
he was in better health after four
weeks incarceration than he was at
the time of his arrest.

shield blew away and descended
with a resounding roar on the first
passenger coach. bursting as it struck
and sending Jets of swishing, live
steam into the cars and high into
the air.

wrists, told Of the tragedy.
Every one was laughing and
joking in the cars and the special

he said. 1T was $50 a. m. and just
getting light
I heard roar up front that
shook the train, then another roar
followed by screams and groans.
The boiler had been thrown into
the air and fell on the first car,
causing the second noise which
sounded like another explosion.
The boiler burst and steam
rushed in all directions, making
thick. scalding clouds as it hit the
cold air
Bodies Are Mangled
The first explosion ripped the
front end of the first car apart,
then the boiler came down in the
middle of the car and crashed
through it.
The steam fairly whistled for a
few minutes. then the noise died
down and we could hear only the
screams of the hurt and the cries
of excitement as the men unloaded
and ran forward to try to help the
victims.
There wasn't much to do for q
lot of them. They we're mangled,
some beheaded."

leased after first aid treatment,
seven were in critical condition, 10

Russia Now Second
 In Production Of Gold

Soviet gold production has now surpassed that of both United States and Canada and is second only to that of the the Transvaal, according to statement issued last week by the chef of the Soviet gold in- dustries bureau.
 It was furthermore claimed that the great richness of the Soviet gold deposits and the rapid growth of the gold-min- ing industry indicate that the U.S.S.R. will in the near future be able to exceed even the Transvaal and assume first place.
 The Soviet press recently re- ported that gold production in 1883 amounted to 100 million gold rubles, twice the annual production before the reWolu- tion.
 lit is said that this figure, far from being an exaggeration, was probably too low. For eign observers compute the 1883 production at IA million rubles, or nearly 100 million dollars at the present rate of exchange.
 The American Bureau of Metal Statistics gives Russia's production at 600,000 ounces, "conjectural," for the first quarter of 1884, indicating g. 100000 ounces for the year. It is stated, however, that the figure given is below the actu- al production, with strong probability that Russia will dis place Canada as second pro- ducing nation this year.

Says Depression Cost
 Workers 37 Billions

Wage earners of the United States lost in wages and sal aries over 37 billion dollars during the three depression years from 1880 to 1883, ac- cording to estimates made by the National Industrial Confer ence Board.
 During the same period the national income dropped to the enormous extent of 52.6 per cent, according 10 the same authority.
 As the Board figures it, the three years of depression cost the American people as a whole about $108,OO0,O0O,000. Nearly two-thirds of this loss was sustained by business pro- prietors and investors and slightly more than cne-third by employees.
 Easing their computations on the 1929 income level, the Board figures that the total loss to, wage earners exceeded 37 billion dollars during the three-year period.
 The reduction in income of persons in business for them selves; to recipients of rents and royalties, and in interest and dividends on invested capi- ttal was computed at 47.4 bill lion.
 The Board also points our that in addition to these tre mendous losses the assets If individual proprietors and cor porations were reduced by business losses by 23.2 billion, making the total cost to busl- ness 70.6 bilEon dollars.
