CRYING BABY MAY
MOVE HAUPTMANN
Lindbergh Suspect to Hear
Infants Walls in Jail.
RnI nitcd Press

I HiffH
NEW YORK. Sept. 25.-The de-
termined efforts of authorities to
get a confession of the Lindbergh
KIDNAPPING from Bruno r. Haupt-
mann without resorting to third
degree methods touched new
mark in police ingenuity today with
reports that a crying baby would
be used as a stage prop"
One person closely connected with
the investigation said it was planned
to place a crying baby near Haupt-
mann's cell in an effort to break
down his persistent denials of guilt.
It was not clear just how police
would get the baby to cry, although
a suggestion was made that
photograph of babys vail be used
instead of the real thing.
The informant said that the po-
lice planned for Hauptmann to hear
the wailing frequently, probably all
day or longer, presumably on the
theory that a guilty person would
be reminded of the death of the
GllUDHIBIl DdOg. IL dlNO Wdo OAHU
that Hauptmann showed the great
est emotion since his arrest when he
saw his own 18-months-old son yes
terday.
The questioning of Hauptmann
has been long, he has gone with
out sleep and he has been taken
over the same ground repeatedly in
an effort to break his story but SO
far as could be learned there has
been no third degree"
1t was said by one patrolman that
he went without sleep for about
sixty-four hours after his arrest.

A TIMELY SERMON

The DAILY CITIZEN recorded in its CO.
lumns yesterday the fact that on Sunday
for the frs. time Thanksgiving services
were held Jointly by the three benevo.
lent societies Of former Virgin islanders
living in New York. The three organl-
cations are the American West Indian
Benevolent Society. the American Vlr.
gin Island Society and the American
West Indian Ladies Aid Society
The Rev. Paul Fl. West, pastor of the
Lutheran Church of the TRANSPORTATION,
who preached the sermon. took the fol-
lowing as his text: Behold, how good
and how pleasant it is for brethren to
dwell! together in unity" from the 1S3rd
Psalm. Later on in his discourse, the
Rev. Mr. West added: United we
stand. divided we fall and fail fiat"
Would to God it were possible to get
all Of the West Indian and American
Negroes ia this city to give ear and
heart to this united we stand. divided
we fall" doctrne If SO. it would speed
up progress for all of US.
AS we see it both groups have compile
mentary advantages and disadvantages
which are peculiar to them. For in
stance, the West Indian is much more
thifty than his American born Negro
brother; while the American-born Negro
takes himself less seriously and gets
more JOY out life One can teach the
other how to save; the other how to live.
One quality is as important as the other.
If these three Virgin Island societies
find that it is mutually advantageous
for them to get little closer together
how much more important is it for the
one hundred fifty thousand American
born Negroes and the fifty thousand
West Indian Negroes to live and work
In harmony with one another. The rest
of the people see all IF US only as Ne
