such information be found true
I assure you it will split the
case wide open.
"It may be a matter of weeks,
but my investigators have been
and still are quietly at work
in the matter. At this time 1
am unable to give further
information. can say it usually
is quiet before the storm and
one cannot work but "a hours
a day.
"Mrs. Hauptmann has COM
planned to me regarding her
statements, stories, ct cetera, in
various newspapers only being
exact in part.
81 wish to make it quite clear
and emphasize that Mrs. Haupt-
mann will not make any further
statements. Any other state
ments hereafter will come from
me-"
Crowds stood in front of the
Jail as Hauptmann was brought
out. An ever-growing throng as
sembled in the vicinity of the
West Farms Court.
Not Manacled
Fifty police officers, including
half a dozen mounted, main
tained order. Only those with
business were allowed in the
courtroom.
Lieut.. James Finn, the New
York police departments "ace
Lindbergh Sleuth," and several
other detectives escorted Haupt.
mann from the prison van to
the courtroom.
Photographers flashIght bulbs
lit up repeatedly as Hauptmann
shuffled into the courtroom under
the strong police guard. The
prisoner was not manacled.
AS Hauptmann-at 10:17 a. m.
was taken before Magistrate
Bernard Mogilesky, the clerk Of
court bawled out:
'"The case against Bruno
Hauptmann. Charge: ExtOr-
ton"
Immediately Assistant District
Attorney John Mccarthy. of the
Bronx, said:
1--WE ask an adjournment of
this hearing until October l."
The magistrate glanced toward
the defendant.
Bernhardt Meissels, of counsel
for the defense. spoke up:
1--WE consent to that"
Looking over the papers before
him, Magistrate Mogilesky said:
"The request for adjournment
Of this hearing until October l,
1884, is granted. There will be
no bail fixed for the defendant"
The arraignment over, Haupt-
mann was taken to the office Of
District Attorney Foley.
Jurors Selected
The grand jury prepared for
action on the Lindbergh case i'm.
mediately after it was sworn.
Justice Mclaughlin selected the
% jurors from a panel of so.
He informed them Is members
of the jury would constitute a
quorum and that when is we're
convened they could proceed with
their business.
Concurrence of at least IL Jurors
will be necessary to return an in
dictment, he told them.
Those To Testify
Among those who were to be
called before the grand jury in
connection with the Lindbergh
case we're:
DR.. John F.. Condon the
elderly teacher ED lecturer
known as "JafSie," who was the
intermediary through W h o m
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh pass
ed along $4,000 to a strange
man at rendezvous in st. Ray
mond'S Cemetery on April 2,
1882, a month and a day after
the baby was kidnapped. Haupt-
mann is suspected of being the
recipient of the money from DR..
Condor.
Walter Lyle, filling station
manager to whom Hsuptmann
The Washington times., 1934-09-24
Startling Disclosure

gave a $40 Lindbergh ransom
bill in payment for gas. Mr..
Lyle, using his head" noted
the number of the license plate
on Hauptmann's car, wrote it
on the back of the bill and noti-
fled the police. This smart
action brought about Haupt-
mann's arrest last week.
John Lyons, assistant to Mr..
Lyle.
John Jerrone, cab driver who
identified Hauptmann as the
man who paid him 81 to take a
note to "Jafsle."
Lindbergh Due East
Colonel Lindbergh himself is ex-
pected to 60 before the grand jury
early this week The Colonel. &C.
companied by Mrs. Lindbergh, is
flying back East from California.
They hoped off this morning
from Winslow, Ariz., where they
spent the night. Whether Mrs.
Lindbergh will testify is profile
matical.
An atmosphere of mystery de-
veloped when Hauptmann was
taken from court this morning to
the district attorneys office.
Asked if the prisoner was being
questioned further, an assistant
district attorney said:
mo. / can't tell you any
thing further-weTl talk to you
newspaper men later"
ALIBI DOESN'T STAND
Hauptmann's alibi, which he
had so suddenly produced, seemed
to be pretty well shattered today
as the wheels Of justice were
grinding.
He had northumberland his
wife, Mrs. Ami Hauptmann, had
backed him up-that on the night
Of the kidnapping, March /, 1882,
he called for her at a restaurant
where she worked on Tuesdays
and Fridays as waitress.
Today, when questioned again
by reporters, she was not so GER
tain. She could not remember for
sure.
District Attorney Foley briefly
dismissed this alibi with these
words:
1--WE have lots of evidence to
dtSapprOve it"
Hauptmann'S other alibi-that
the money found in his garage
was given him for safekeeping by
Isidor Fisch, who since died in
Germany, was also diScredited by
the authorities.
Not Fisch's Writing
Moreover. the authorities assert
that there is no similarity be-
tween the penmanship of Fisch
and that of the ransom notes.
whereas Hauptmann's handwrit-
ing is very similar to the ransom
notes.
Examining Fisch's penmanship,
Scott E. Leslie, handwriting ex-
pert, said:
II can say definitely that the
man, (FiSch) who wrote these
letters did not write q single
word in any Of the ransom
notes. This mans writing is as
different from that in the ran
som notes as Hauptmann's is
similar"
According to Hauptmann'S story,
when Fisch, young, tubercular
fur dealer, who died in Leipzig
last spring, departed for Germany
last December he left two travel
ing bags and a shoe box with
Hauptmann.
The latter claimed he slowed
them in a closet and only a few
weeks ago found the ransom
money in the shoe box.
Never Mentioned Money
Henry Uhlig, who went abroad
with FiSch and returned to New
York after Fisch's death with au-
thority to settle Fisch's financial
affairs, said Hauptmann, whom
he knew, never told him anything
about finding the money in the
shoe box.
The police questioned Mr.. Oh
lig, but abSolved him of all blame.
Mr.. Uhlig, in an interview with
international News Service, said
he had no knowledge of the kid
naping and knew Hauptmann
"only casually"
