NEW YUM, OepItlllUCl q
R.-Belief that the Lindbergh
KIDNAPPING was not "one-man
lob" was expressed today by
Acting Chief Inspector John
J. Sullivan, who quizzed Bruno
Richard Hauptmann at the
police lineup.
1T was not a one-man job,
he declared. IF this man
Hauptmann was not actually
at the scene of the kidnapping,
he had a hand in the ma
chinery."

NEW YORK, September 21.-
Bruno Richard Hauptmann,
mild-mannered German, fidgeted
under the glare of spotlightS on
the police lineup platform to-
day and heard Assistant Chief
Inspector John ]. Sullivan de-
clare he will have to answer a
more serious charge" than extor-
ton in the Lindbergh kidnap
case.
A short time later it was dis
closed that last night a warrant
for Hauptmann's extradition on
a charge of homicide had been
signed by Gov. A. Harry Moore
of New Jersey, where the Lind
bergh baby was kidnapped and
murdered.
Extortion Case Perfect"
Sullivan told detectives assem-
bled at the lineup that the po-
lice have "a perfect extort1on
case against this man." and
added there is no doubt in my
mind that he will have to answer
q more serious charge"
His statement came at the
end of an extensive questioning
of the drawn and tired Haupt-
mann, whose unShaVen lace
added to his wan appearance.
During his questioning Haupt-
mann gave Sullivan an alibi to
explain his possession OF $l3,75O
of the Lindbergh ransom money
found in the garage at his Bronx
home. A friend, he said, Isadore
FiSche, formerly his partner In
the fur business, had given him
the money. Police have aScer-
tanned that Fische died in Ger
many last December.
Handwriting Compared.
Police characterized his ex-
planation fantastic" They are
attempting to strengthen their
case against him by a compari-
son of the handwriting of the
Lindbergh ransom notes and
that on Hauptmann'S application
for his automobile drivers Ii
cense. They also we're reported
comparing it with the writing on
the note left in the Lindbergh
nursery the night of the kidnap-
ing.
Rushed to West Farms Court
in the Bronx, the prisoner was
held without bail until Monday
on a charge of extortion of the
S50,000 Llndbergh ransom money.
Hauptmann was charged in a
short affidavit signed by James
j. Finn of the New York Bureau
of Criminal Identification with:
obtaining $4,000 from John
r. Condor, 2784 Decatur avenue,
in st. Raymond's Cemetery, at

nues, the Bronx, on April 2, 1882,
about 10 pm, by wrongful use
of force or fear, in that the said
$50,000 was in the care and Gus
tody of John F. Condor for the
purpose of releasing Charles A..
Lindbergh's child, who had been
threatened with bodily harm.
Had No Counsel.
The affidavit stated that the
complaint was filed by Finn ION
information by John F. Condor. -
Hauptmann was not repre-
sented by counsel. Before the
hearing he was asked by the
court il he wished to retain one
III. Bennett Solomon, New York
attorney, who, the court said,
had represented himself as the
prisoners lawyer.
Hauptmann replied that he did
not, that he did not know Solo
mon.
Following the arraignment he
was taken to the Bergen Street
Jail, the Bronx.
Robbed Mayors Home.
