Wilentz, of New Jersey, con
ferred with his assistant, Joseph
A. Lar1igan, and with Prosecutor
Anthony M. Hauck, jr., Of Hunt
erdon IN. j. county shortly be-
fore noon.
Later all three joined Governor
Moore and Col. H. Norman
Sehwarzkopf, superintendent OF
the New Jersey State police, for
q further discussion Of the case.
Still q Sullen Man
Hauptmann, meanwhile. was
being closely guarded in his cell
in the Bronx county jail. His
demeanor was as sullen and non
communicative as when he was
first arrested almost d fort
night ago.
He still adheres to the story
that the money found in his ga
rage was given to him for safe.
keeping by Isidor Fisch who died
last March in Germany.
When reporters saw District At
torney Foley this mroning he
told them Hauptmann would not
be brought to his office today
for further interrogation.
Mr.. Foley said he was studying
the legal aspects Of the case pre-
paratory to bringing Hauptmann
to trial for extortion.
Lieut.. James Finn, the "ace"
detective who was promoted for
his brilliant work on the Lind
bergh case, came to Mr.. Foley's
office with a large package
evidently Firms files.
A slight commotion was caused
when a man in clerical garb
showed up and a photographer
snapped his picture. He became
annoyed and wanted to know
what paper the photographer rep
resented, saying the pictures
should be destroyed. He was rec
ognized as Bishop Arthur w.
Brooks of Queens. He waited to
see the district attorney.
Comment Refused
District Attorney Foley was
asked today concerning q report
that Colonel Lindbergh, when he
viewed the prisoner for 10 min.
utes last week, had partially
identified Hauptmann as the
masked lookout" who approached
him the night the $4,000 ransom
was paid.
Mr.. Foley declined to comment
on this, saying it was a matter
for the New jersey authorities to
discuss.
When the matter was put up
to Colonel Schwarzkopf, he said:
"This (the reported partial
Identification would be a very
important point Of evidence.
Therefore, we cannot com.
ment."
Reporters put a lot of ques-
tions to District Attorney Foley
but his answers were not very
Illuminating.

that in his opinion nearly all Of
those slips were written by the
suspect.
None Of the slips, however,
involved ransom money so far
as has been determined up to
