AT spot not lar from the MaSSa
chuSettS shores.
The maps were found in Haupt
mann's trunk. They showed points
mentioned at the time Lindbergt
was searching by ,airplane for the
child-such places as Gay Head
Buzzard's Bay and Martha's Vine
yard.
Hauptmann had denied that he
ever was UP in that region.
But District Attorney Foley said
today that investigators have
traced Hauptmann'S movements as
far as Bridgeport, Conn, leading
toward that region. Hauptmanr
went on fishing trips in the Bridge
port area.
Foley declined. however, to state
on what dates Hauptmann had
been on those fishing trips.
Discussing the English German
dictionary found in Hauptmann's
effects, District Attorney Foley ex
pressed the opinion Hauptmann
had used it in penning the various
ransom notes.
In ransom notes, he pointed
out, the simpler words were mis-
spelled whereas the more difficult
words were invariably spelled cor
rectly.
New jersey Must Act
Foley said he thought Haupt.
mann deliberately misspelled the
smaller words and copied the Iarg.
er words out Of the dictionary.
The presence of the dictionary,
In his opinion, is another point
which indicates that Hauptmann
was the writer of the ransom
notes.
Regarding reports that the Hun.
terdon County, N. j., grand jury
will be asked next week to indite
Hauptmann for the murder of
the Lindbergh baby, Foley said
that New Jersey will have to move
before next Thursday for the ex.
tradition of the prisoner as it is
his intention to proceed on o.
tober II with the impaneling of a
jury.
Hauptmann's trial on the charge
Of extortion is scheduled to start
in the Bronx, New York city, next
Thursday. In other words, New
Jersey will have to ask for Aaupt.
mann before the New York trial
gets under way, Foley said.
The fact that the ninth Lind
bergh ransom bill to be passed
since Hauptmann was arrested
turned UP today at the Fordham
branch Of the Corn Exchange
Bank did not unduly agitste the
district attorney. He did not be-
lieVe this indicated that con-
federate is quietly riding himself
Of the "hot" money. He thought
1t was one Of the old bills passed
by Hauptmann which had found
its way to the bank.
Map Held Important
Foley thought the finding of the
maps and Hauptmann'S know
ledge Of the vicinity of the Lind
bergh home would be of consider
able value to the New Jersey au-
thoritieS. Foley said:
1--WE asked Hauptmann to
trace maps. He seemed to know
more about the country than
the man who made the maps.
He was as familiar with the re-
gion around Hopewell, up to
within three miles of the Lind
berg estate, as the surveyors
who laid it out"
But when Foley was asked If
the prisoner now admits being in
Hopewell, the district attorney re-
piled:
II cannot answer that at this
time"
He added:
81 will say that Hauptmann
told me without hesitation
which roads were dirt or
paved"
Asked If the road map cover.
ing Hopewell had been marked,
Foley replied that "the map had
been used" And, furthermore,
Foley asserted, Hauptmann "even
knew the side roads,"
Foley also revealed he now
had Hauptmann's criminal rec
ord complete. He received a
cablegram containing this in
formation from Detective Arthur
Johnson, of New York city police
force, who is in Germany in
vestigating the case. The record
