 Q-Do you know whether your husband worked on March ],
 1882?
 Al don't remember. Defense Counsel Fawcett, in questioning Mrs Ha II P m 8 T T , brought out that the broom closet had one high shelf, which Mrs Hauptmann could not easily reach or see. ~
 She said there could have been a box on that shelf that she did not know about. Attorney General David Wilentz of New Jersey appeared for his ! state in the courtroom of Justice Ernest E. l.. Hammer. He opened the proceedings by offering the extradition warrant signed by | Governor Herbert H. Lehman Of New York, and an affidavit by l Capt. J. J. Lamb of the New Jer- sey state police, Fawcett requested q recess to examine records of Hauptmann's | employment at the Hotel Majestic in New York.
 | Hauptmann, wearing a greytsh- l brown suit and a clean shirt, walked slowly to place at the counsel table. :. He stood with shoulders back and chin up for several minutes. His hair was neatly parted and smoothly combed. He seemed stronger and more hopeful out wardly than on his last court ap- pearance, when he was untidy, un- shaven and appeared Respondent. He is alleged to have left the i employ of the hotel near the time of the Lindbergh kidnapping. Faw- cett then placed the record in evil dence.
 Justice Hammer halted taking of movie and other pictures. He | said he heard some photographer had secreted a camera in the room. 'It has been called to my at tention that photographer IS here with small camer," the judge said. "The court directs | that no further pictures be taken if there is a camera here I want to know about it right now"
 No one answered. The hearing proceeded. Fawcett offered In evil f to R. Hauptmann, and dated July 1888.
 Another check drawn April IS, 1892 to R. Hauptmann for -$6.67, on payroll account, was subse- quently offered
 These probably were to show Hauptmann had worked since the Kidnapping.
 Justice Hammer stopped pro- ceedings to force the crowd to move back to the rear of the room.
 The justice subsequently, order ed chairs be placed near the bench | for police officials waiting there.
 All stood within the court enclos- ure.

 It indicated that Mrs, stoll had not been singled out as the victim but that the kidnaper changed his mind when he went by mistake to the Berry Stoll home instead of the c. e. Stoli hofhe.
 The United Press informant read the ransom letter. From mem ory, he revealed the most import ant parts of the contents.
 .When you read this don't get excited and call police," the first paragraph said.
 After all our fingerprints and our pictures are not In the rogues gallery anywhere"

 We are . well organized unit who know our business.
 Familiar With Law
 we are thoroughly familiar with the recent federal law as a result of the Lindbergh Kidnapping case.
 And should we have to take MT. Stoli, ie, ~(or his body) across q state line, We are fully aware of the penalty.
 Disclosing a rather intimate knowledge of affairs of the Stoll Oil company, the ransom letter continued:-
 i've realize that the Stoll Oil company has borrowed a consider able amount of money with MT. StOll's life insurance policy as col- lateral and this will not be able to be collected without the body (cor- pus delicti.J"
 (Editors note: c. c. Stoll res putedly is Insured for two million doliars.)
 If you do not pay this ransom money of $30,00O (here the $30,009 figure was crossed out and $5O,0O0 written above 1t in pen) Mir. Stoll will be killed and his body will be burend, dissolved in sulphuric acid and thrown in the river" The kidnaper then wrote that i've are socialists" referring to himself and confederates, the Unt- ted Press revealed.

 we are only trying to get back what is coming to iis." The note then quoted c. c. Stoll as saying at a recent board of di- rectors meeting of the oil cons pany:
 "Rooseyeit is putting through legislation against capitalism. We capitalists must stick together. We are paying our men under the min imum wage provided by the MIRA and are not even bothering to paint our filling stations" The ransom letter went on to say:
 Five Tn The Band "There are five of us now liv- ing on a farm and we only have enough food for ourselves for five days--not less Mir. Stoll---."
 The expression not less MT. Stoll Is exactly the way 1t was written and was interpreted as a yelled threat that Stoll would not be fed while in the kidnapers' custody.
 ''So unless you get in touch with us within i've days with the ran som money, we will be forced to do away with MT Stoll or his body" "Wheh we get Mr Stoli we will notify you of q friend who will be satisfactory to iis.p In the blank -z-------- space the kidnaper had written the name of an attorney at Nashville, Tenn, Later in the letter he mentioned the names of attorneys in four other cities. one Of whom was Mil- waukee, and who could be used as interim ediaries in case the Nash ville contact failed.

Hopes Revived

LOulSVllle, hy., Oct. lo.-(URl.- Hopes for the safety of Mrs Alice Speed Stoll. Kidnapped society beauty, were revived today as the zero hour" for word from her ab- ductor approached.
 Members of the family including the missing woman's millionaire husband, Berry V. Stoll, and his brother, George, were so optimistic when they talked to reporters to. day that 1t was believed contact with the abductor has been estab- lished.
 George stoll spoke eagerly of the approaching ''zero hour" which was to be reached at 4:20 o'clock this afternoon. At that time the B. day period mentioned in the ran. some note will have elapsed.
 Harold l.. Nathan, in charge of the force of federal agents search ing the Kentucky hills and byways of the young woman, spoke of "when she is returned"
 The restored spirits of the Stoll family authorities. contrasted with their despair of yesterday.
 There were no statements to sup- port the conclusion contact had been made, however.
 Since the Kidnapping of Mrs Stoll from her colonial brick home on exclusive Lime Kiln road, daily ra- dio broadcasts have been made by the Stoll to assure the kidnaper that all demands of the $60,000 ransom note had been compiled with.
 There were no radio broadcasts yesterday and today, indicating that perhaps the kidnaper has replied to earlier appeals.
 The original ransom note,. q strangely typeyritten message left behind iri the Stoll home last We'd nesday, said the kidnaper would contact Mrs Stoll's husband with in five days.

 He specified that the money be wrapped. in a package marked value S10 and sent by express to the Nashville attorney. This in- struction apparently was carried out by the family but the money was not called for.

 was able to walk out of the house to the kidnapers' car. l He said the kidnaper, posing as telephone repair man. was in the house from to 4:30. Telephones in tthe vicinity had been out of order for two days prior to the Kidnapping due to line trouble and the kid- naper apparently aware of this fact, decided to use 1t as ruse to enter the house.
 The ransom note was found in a sealed, plain unaddressed envelope on bed in Mrs Stoll's room. Schmidt said. On the bed were two
 blood spots and on the floor were three more.
