Remington, N. J., Oct. 20.-R>-
Bruno Richard Hauptmann q pris-
oner Of the state Of New Jersey, and
within q month he must face trial for
the murder Of the Lindbergh baby.
He is lodged in . solitary cell In the
Hunterdon county jail, close by the
courtroom in which he will be tried.
Hauptmann was brought to the jail
by New Jersey authorities Friday
night, = few hours after he had lost
his fight to prevent hts extradiuon
from New York. The appellate d.
vision Of the New York supreme court
denied his appeal, and his removal TO
New Jersey was effected forthwith.
Gaining at last custody Of the man
they formally charged less than two
weeks ago with the kidnap-murder,
the New Jersey authorities made
plans to bring the stolid German car
renter to trial within . month.
Arraignment Soon
The first step will be Hauptmann's
arraignment. Attorney General David
T. Wilentz. who accompanied Haupt-
mann here on . quick trip from New
York, said 1t will be held ct the con-
venience Of Supreme Court Justice
Thomas w. Trenchard, probably IN
three or four days.
The decision which ended Haupt-
mann's fight against extradition was
handed down Friday night by five
Justices Of the appellate division who
upheld Justice ERNEST =. /. Hammer
lof the Bronx In refusing to grant I
writ Of habeas corpus after Governor
Lehman Of New York had signed ex-
tradition papers.
Before the opinion was handed
down, James NJ. Fawcett, Haupt-
mann's counsel, had sought to intro
duce evidence to show that Haupt-
mann was in New York the day Of the
kidnapping and succeeding days.
This evidence was in the form Of
an affidavit by Joseph M. Furcht
that Hauptmann had worked for him
at an apartment hotel on March /,
1882. and on succeedings days.
The court, however, held that "this
contention Is In direct conflict with
documentary evidence already In the
record"
After the decision was announced.
Fawcett said he would appeal no
further, and steps to take Hauptmann
to New Jersey were quickly taken,
Attorney General Wilentz and New
Jersey state troopers took the court
order to the Bronx county jail and
few minutes later Hauptmann was
turned over to them.
Lodged In Hunterdon jail
Handcuffed to two state police
men, he was placed in an official car
Of the state Of New Jersey and whisk-

The prisoner was taken immediate
ly to . cell where, except for occa-
sional visits Of his wife and counsel
Hauptmann will be alone, for the

set, was virtually hidden by the
troopers who thanked him q he walk.
