date the baby was stolen from
his Hopewell IN. j. home.
The defense'S new evidence will
be in the nature Of testimony by
Joseph M. Furcht, former super
intendent at the Majestic Apart
ments, who is reported to have
signed an affidavit in which he
states that Hauptmann worked
under his direction from 8 a. m.
until p. m. on the day of the
kidnapping.
Before Full Bench
On the basis of this affidavit,
Mr.. Fawcett asked Supreme Court
Justice Francis Martin for per"
mission to introduce new testi-
mony at today's hearing before
the Appellate Division.
The jurist advised Mr.. Fawcett
to go before the full appellate
bench for the hearing of a pre-
liminary motion on the request.
This hearing will be held prior
to the appeal this afternoon from
Justice Hammers denial of a
writ Of habeas corpus in Haupt-
mann's fight against extradition.
Mr.. Furcht checked his mem
DRY by the records Of an employ
ment agency headed by E. V. c.
PeScia. The records were said
to show that Mr.. Pescia sent
Hauptmann to the Majestic for a
job on Saturday, February 81,
1892. Mr.. Furcht said Haupt.
mann reported for his first days
work on the following Tuesday,
March !.
From March l to March 4, &C.
cording to Mr.. Furcht, Haupt-
mann put in a full working Sched-
ule and then quit. Commenting
on the evidence, Mr.. Fawcett
said:
"Since September %, 1884, the
defense has tried to locate by
investigators the man who en-
plOyed Hauptmann on March 1,
and did locate the Reliance
Property Management, Inc,
which had charge of certain
records regarding employees at
the Majestic Apartments.
But the records Of the COM
pany did not run back beyond
March Is, 1882.
AFFIDAVIT OBTAINED
Henry Knapp, an officer Of
the Reliance company, said Mr..
Furcht probably had the earlier
records, but even up to the time
of the hearing he did not know
Mr.. Furcht'S address and knew
no one who knew him.
Finally, however, Mr.. Furcht
was located and our investigator
was able to interview him,
finally obtaining an affidavit
upon which my application to
Justice Martin was based"
Mr.. Fawcett revealed that a de-
tense fund of $4,000 had been
furnished by Hauptmann's wife,
Anna. He added that $4,000 of
this money had already been
spent.
Wife Sells Mortgages
Mr.. Fawcett explained that the
$4,000 consisted of $4,000 from
the sale of the two mortgages,
each bearing a face value of
$500; $4,000 realized from the
sale of other securities, and $1,000
in cash savings.
A curious feature concerning
Hauptmann'S finances is that last
December he pleaded poverty in
failing to complete payment on a
$500 settlement he made after an
automobile accident.

UNFIT CREAM SALES
Rigid Campaign BY Federal
Food and Drug Department
Underway in State

Fargo, N. D., Oct. l7.-(P>-With lit
gallons of cream already seized In
North Dakota, rigid campaign by
the federal food and drug department
to put stop to use Of unfit cream in
the manufacture OF butter in the state
was announced Wednesday at the U.
8. Marshals office here.
Representatives of the food and
drug department have been investi-
eating conditions in North Dakota for
several weeks, 1t was said, and large
quantities Of cream shipped from
points within the state to creameries
within the state have been seized and
destroyed besides that which was con-
fiscated by the marshal,s department.
In Fargo l04 gallons Of cream was
seized from several creameries. At
Minot u gallons were seized and other
seizures are expected to be made In
other parts Of the state. it was said.
All OF the cream seized by the mar
shal's department Is cream shipped
from outside Of the state, it was an
nounced.
In some instances the cream which
had been seized was so fermented and
decomposed that 1t had bulged the
cans and often forced the covers off
them. Cases were found where rod
ents had gotten into the cream cans
while the product had been left un-
covered.
Much OF the cream, 1t was said, had
come from merchants who had taken
1t In from farmers, small amounts
having been received at time and
dumped into cans until sufficient
amount had been received to ship.
