able significance to the maps, as
serting Hauptmann showed con-
siderable knowledge of road condi-
tions in the region of the forr "
home of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh
at Hopewell, N. j.
Schwarzkopf said today that
Hauptmann used the maps to de-
termine road conditions in New
Jersey on projected motor trips.
He gave the impression that in
his opinion the maps did not def
nitely link Hauptmann with the
case.
Harmony Maintained
Schwarzkopf also denied that
Hauptmann had drawn sketch
maps of the section around Hope
well and the Lindbergh home for
New Jersey investigators, as
District Attorney Foley had spe-
officially stated yesterday.
Schwarzkopf's remarks were
made after a telephone converse
ton with Capt. John J. Lamb of
the New Jersey State police who
is in New York city on the case.
A bit perturbed about reports
that New York and New Jersey
were not working in harmony on
the Lindbergh case, District
Attorney Foley today declared
there is no truth in such reports.
81 cannot make it too clear
or too eQuivOcal that the Bronx
district attorneys office and
the New jersey officials are in
complete harmony and cooper
ating fully in the case.
Gas a matter of fact, I
talked with the New Jersey
officials by telephone this morn
ing to get their opinion on
the case"
READY TO COOPERATE
Foley said his office is working
on plans to bring Hauptmann on
trial in the Bronx for extortion
next Thursday. He recalled that
Governor A. Harry Moore of New
Jersey had stated publicly that
New Jersey had good case against
Hauptmann and that New Jersey
would move for extradition of the
prisoner before he goes to trial in
New York. Foley said:
eff Governor Moore of New
Jersey wants more time for this
purpose I will be very glad, at
their request, to move for an ad-
jOurnment. When New Jersey
asks for this man we will help
and cooperate in every way"
Hauptmann, as inflexible as
ever, remained in his cell this
forenoon. This afternoon he was
to be again examined by a board
of five psychiatrists as to his
mental condition.
It was reported today that John
Perrone, taxi driver, had given the
authorities a detailed description
of a man he believed was Haupt-
mans accomplice on the night the
$4,000 ransom was paid over at
st. Raymond's cemetery.
To q Quiet Spot
The description was kept secret.
Tcrrone was questioned at length
by Assistant District Attorney
Breslin. The reported accomplice
is the man who hailed Perrone's
cab at Gun Hill Road the night
the first note was delivered to the
Lindbergh Intermediary, DR.. John
F.. "Jafsie" Condor.
The man told Perrone to drive

YOUTH ADMITS
5 LIES TOLD
ON STAND
Son Was SIeepIess on Night Of
Murder, Mother Tells
Under Questioning
BY DAVID p. SENTNER

WILKES-BARRE, Pa, Oct. 5
O.N.S0.-A heart-broken mother
and father contributed their mite
on the witness stand for their son,
standing in the silhouette of the
electric chair, as the American
Tragedy" murder trial of Bobby
Edwards pointed toward the jury
room this afternoon.
Both sides rested their cases at
noon and summations to the jury
were expected to be concluded be-
fore evening. Whether the 81
year-old Don Juan of a small
mining town lives or dies is ex-
pected to be decided before to.
morrow.
Edwards is charged with Staying
his childhood sweetheart, Freda
McKechnie, expectant mother.
Blackjack identified
Daniel Edwards, paymaster of
the mine in which the father of
the dead girl works, identified the
blackjack used by his son in strik-
ing Freda down during a midnight
swim.
Mrs. Great Edwards, Bobby's
mother, was dressed in black. She
is of aristocratic carriage.
Mrs. Edwards said her little Bit,
in an effort to save her son from
the electric chair, in a broken
voice.
When Bobby came home on the
night of the tragedy after his swim
with Freda, he remembered to
bring her two chocolate bars she
had asked for, Mrs. Edwards tes-
titled. She said:
'BObby had trouble getting to
sleep that night"
Mr.. and Mrs. Edwards followed
their son on the witness stand
after his gruelling cross-examina-
ton was finished.
Young Edwards was again taken
into the five different stories he
had told police regarding the
manner in which Freda died. He
was asked:
you lied the first, second,
third and fifth times, didn't
you?"
Eyes"
sand you didn't lie the fourth
story you told?"
"NO."
Basis of Defense
This fourth story Edwards re-
lated to police forms the basis of
the defense.
The defendant maintains Freda
was dead before he struck her
with the blackjack. He testified
he did it after she had fallen into
faint while stepping into a row.
boat, and that he could not revive
her.
He feared he would be blamed,
due to her condition, and he
wanted to make her death look
like an accident, Edwards said.
AS the case drew toward its
close, the defense paraded a host
OF character witnesses to the
stand.
They included two ministers,
friends, and neighbors from Ed
wardsville, the home town of the
defendant.
They testified as to the de-
PENDANTS high character and repu-
tation before his arrest.
Margaret Grains brother was
reported en- route to the trial
from East Aurora, N. Y. He is
a Baptist minister.
Charge Denied
The last question asked of
Bobby by the prosecutor was:
isn't it true that to carry
out your pledge to be true to
eternity to Margaret Grain,
You intended to tap Freda on
the head and slide her body
into the water to make it look
like drOwning?"
mo, sir, I had no such in
tentiOn."
The few minutes Bcbby's
mother spent on the witness
stand was her first appearance
in the courtroom.
Inadvertently, her testimony
reflected the pangs of conscience
believed suffered by her son
after he had bludgeoned Freda
and cast her body into the
waters of Harvey's Lake.

Columbia will not add to his
laurels.
"Springtime for Henry" the pic
ture in question, retains the title
Of the play which enjoyed very
satisfying run on Broadway.
Judging purely from hearsay, the
stage production must surely have
been a far more entertaining fea-
ture than has developed in the
screen version.
Even now, in the hands of Nigel
Bruce, the film gives some evi-
dence of the Sprightliness Of it's
predecessor. AS the slightly
added husband of our Henry's

version to the better things OF
life, Mr.. Bruce adds a giggling
moment here and there. But they
are rather far spaced.
It would be nice to visualize this
farce touched with a stroke of
Mamoulian or Lubitsch, but Di-
rector Tuttle has been a trifle
heavy-handed. Hence Mr.. Kruger,
always Suave and gracious, floun-
ders, gets a good hold and then
gives up the struggle. Miss Car

Death on the Diamond Shares
Honors With Lewis at Fox

Ted Lewis is at the Fox this
week-Ted Lewis with his bat
tered High Hat, his cane. his little
tricks of juggling and his uner-
ring instinct for audience appeal.
This man has always typfied for
us something more than vaude-
vile. He is theater itself.
AS usual he has surrounded
himself with some of the smartest
talent. His band, in the first
place, is a we'll balanced musical
organization. We have found few
occasions to speak kindly of jazz
bands, but the Lewis band is not
that. It plays music and if the
echo of the tom-tom is heard now
and then-What of it?
Associated with this "old med
icine man for the blues" are Jean
Carroll and Jose Chalita, who
compose a dance team of extra
ordinary merit. A brunette and
a blonde appear in one of the
most beautifully done dances seen
in a long time. The fact that
both of the girls are delectable
eyefuls does not detract from this
number.
The Three Royce Sisters har-
monize before the microphone
and other members of the Lewis
troupe include Lois and Jean
Sterner, Shave Sherman, Mildred
Gaye, Sidney Karr, Kathleen Bas-
sett and Paul White.
A company of musicians and
entertainers, my lords and ladies,
that you will enjoy on any eve
ming.
Death on the Diamond" the

lurid. Not to be cheap with US,
the makers of this picture give us
not one murder, but several.

Bing Crosby Is Met Screen Star

That haunting refrain, Love IN

comes one of the popular hits. the
while Bing Crosby sings his way TO
further success in "She Loves Me

Bing Crosby, pampered son Of

Cellini, master Of more than

effort of the Duke of Florence to

finaleS.
Credit belongs to so many when
a screen-play proves so decidedly
entertaining; Gregory La Cava,
director, and Bess Meredith who
wrote the amusing dialogue, share
equally with the stars.
Constance Bennett forgetS only
once about her hands and leaves
them suspended in midair; she
gives a really brilliant perform
ance, her timing is natural, un-
studied; this is a concession be-
cause your reviewer has always
doubted any ability on the part of

Fredric March, gallant an d
gay, romps through role which
is evidently much to his liking;
Frank Morgan takes top honors
for his Interpretation of the Duke,
