ACCOUNTS At.
COUNTY FARM

A sharp criticism of accounting
methods useo at the county farm
and hospital is contained in a re-
port of the auditors who have been
working on county records since
April. This report has been under
consideration by the county grand
jury for the past month and was
filed by them with the county
clerk late yesterday.
Concerning the county inStitu-
ton in question the report states:
1.-The accounting system as in
stalled for this institution has only
been partially kept, the records be-
ing too incomplete to permit intel
ligent examination. We believe that
it is very important that an ade-
quate inventory be kept. particular
ly covering drugs and hospital sup
plies and periodically verified by a
physical check of supplies on hand
No inventory records have been
kept during the past fiscal year.
The report states that a check
and thorough examination was
made of the records of each county
departmental office and everything
was found in order, at least the
county farm and hospital was the
only one concerning which the
auditors made any definite recon-
mendation.
The audit was made by the c. j.
Rambo company, Los Angeles, and
was started in April. being COM
pleted as to July of this year.

NEW YORK, Oct. l. (Spe-
ciaD-This morning the New
York Times kidded me about
my wanting to know the defin-
ition of liberty" Well, read
the very last paragraph of Mr..
Roosevelt's radio speech last
night. 1t says, Il am not for a
return to that definition of lib
erty under which for many
years a free people were regi-
mented into the service of the
privileged. 1 prefer that broad
er definition of liberty under
which we are moving forward
to a greater freedom"
So, Mr.. Times man, I am not
the only one that thinks the de-
finition of liberty is kinder
flexible, so if you don't know,
ask your congressman. I am
leaving here right now to see

NEW JERSEY
DESTROYS Of
GETTING HIM
/ Schwartzkopf Expresses Belief
!, ,, Suspect Had Accomplice In
Passing Ransom Money.
RELATES VISIT BY ACCUSED
Prisoner Attempted To Pay For
Lumber Last February With
Gold Certificate. -

TRENTON, N. j., Oct. 2. (U.P)-
Belief that Bruno r. Hauptmann
had an accomplice in passing the
Lindbergh ransom money was ex-
pressed for the first time today by
Col. H. Norman Schwartzkopf of
New Jersey state police.
Preparatory to an important
conference Of New Jersey officials
and Bronx county District Attorney
Samuel Foley on extradition of
Hauptmann to this state, Schwartz
kopf said he believed the accom-
plice knew the bills he handled
were "hot.'
Plans for extraditing Hauptmann
on murder charges were to be dis
cussed by Foley and New Jersey
officials, who have been pressing
investigation to complete their
case against Hauptmann.
Schwartzkopf, in relating a visit
of Hauptmann to a lumber yard
on February 4, 1884, to IA make a
small purchase of panelling Haupt-
mann offered a $40 gold certificate
which developments indicated was
a ransom note. Daat
William j. Reilly superintendent
of the yard, stared at gold
note in surprise and Hauptmann IS
companion quickly said; g Never
: n.snd, here is the exact change
He produced 40 cents and Haupt-
mann put the gold note away. They
hurriedly left the yard saying they
would return for the panel after it
was out. They never returned.
Reilly has identified Haupt-
mann's picture and is expected lat
or to confront Hauptmann.
BY coincidence, at the time Of
this transaction, New Jersey de-
tective and Arthur Koehler, wood
expert, were in the next room at
the lumber yard on the trail Of
wood used in the kidnapers' ladder.
NEW YORK, Oct. Q. W.P)-New
Jersey and New York officials con-
fcrred at Trenton, N. j., today on
prosecution Of Bruno Richard
Hauptmann on a charge of kidnap-
ing and numbering the Lindbergh
baby, while dozens of investigators
continued turning up bits of cir
cumstantial evidence connecting
him more firmly with the crime.
District Attorney Samuel Foley
of Bronx county, who obtained an
indictment against Iaupt m n n
charging extortion, left for Tren-
ton to confer with Gov. A. Harry
Moore and Attorney General David
T. Wilentz After the conference,
New Jersey may begin proceedings
to cxtradite Hauptmann to Hunter
don county where officials expected
to try him. The Lindbergh home
at Hopewell where the baby was
stolen is in that county. T.,
Governor Moore announced yes
1Tday that probably New Jersey
would extradite the German car
penter before october 10 when
Foley had planned to bring him to
trial on the extortion indictment.
Foley said he would turn Haupt-
mann over whenever he was want

u. S. Agents Called Off
Lindbergh Case

The feud between the Depart
ment Of Justice and New Jersey Of
ficialS over the conduct Of the
Lndbergh kidnapping case has de-
veloped into an open breech, with
the former Withdrawing from the
case.
The Federal agents win give
New York and New Jersey officials
any information and help that
may be requested. but the agents
are definitely out Of the picture.
The formal reason given for
their withdrawal was that as no
Federal indictment is being sought
the Government has no part In
the case.
longtime Friction
But below the surface 1t has
been revealed that ever since the
Lindbergh baby was kidnapped
there has been friction between
the Government agents and the
New Jersey authorities.
At that time the State refused
to reveal much Of the early evi-
dence to the Department of JUS
tice men, and one high Govern.
ment official charged that they
hindered solution of the case
for personal glory.
Even to this day. it was re.
vealed, the Justice agents have
not been allowed access to all
Of the evidence.
