was Gregory F. Coleman, Bronx news
paper man and close friend of DR..
John F. Condor, the "Jafsie" who
paid the $50, 900 ransom to supposed
emissary Of the kidnapers.
After his testimony had been given,
the jury took a recess for luncheon.
Capt. John j. Lamb of the New Jersey
State Police, was scheduled as the
first witness at the afternoon session.
Condor to Be Heard.
Other witnesses scheduled to be
heard today by the grand jury, of
which Patrick j. Dwyer, a builder, is
foreman, are Dr. Condor, Walter Lyle
and John Lyons, employees at the
gasoline filling station where Haupt-
mann is alleged to have passed the
$40 gold certificate that led to his
arrest.
A flood of reports circulated around
the Bronx County Building as the
grand jury began its session. There
were reports that Hauptmann was to
be taken before the grand jury, that
he was to be taken to New Jersey to-
day and that he would be questioned
by New Jersey authorities.
The Bronx County district attor-
ney's office said it was not possible to
take defendant before a grand jury,
added that Hauptmann would not be
taken to New Jersey today, and said
that while it would be entirely proper
for Hauptmann to be questioned by
New Jersey authorities, no such re-
quest had been made.
Extortion Case Delayed.
Hauptmann, meanwhile, was led
from his cell in the Bronx County jail,
placed in an armored sheriffs van
equipped with bullet-proof glass and
taken to Bronx County Magistrates
Court, where his case on short af-
fidavit charging extortion was ad-
journed for one week, until October /.
Hauptmann's case was the first call
before Magistrate Bernard Mogilesky
and when the prisoner entered the
crowd there on business in connection
with other cases and the spectators
scrambled to benches to get a better
view. Court attendants caused a mo-
mentary stir by ordering the crowd
back TO seats.
The prisoner appeared refreshed
after good nights sleep. He said
not a word during the proceedings,
which required only about minutes,
but stood staring straight ahead at
the magistrate. He was clean-shaven
and wore the same wrinkled suit he
had on when arrested last week. His
hair was carefully groomed and he
wore a white shirt with no tie.
Attorney With Accused.
Beside Hauptmann stood man
who later was identified as Bernard
Meisels, an attorney associated with
James M. Fawcett, attorney for
Hauptmann.
Assistant District Attorney Andrew
C. Mccarthy requested the postpone
ment. Magistrate Mogilesky granted
the request, made a notation on the
back of the short affidavit, said mo
bail" and Hauptmann was led away.
Hauptmann passed TO the van
through a crowd Of about 400
curious persons who We'd for van
tage points on both sides of the court
house.
Supt. H Norman Schwarzkopf OF the
New Jersey State Police, asserting
State authorities have sufficient evil
dence to warrant the extradition OF
Hauptmann for trial for the kidnapping
said he would confer with Attorney
General David H. Wilentz today on
the legal procedure.
Indictments Pending.
John Doe" murder indictments,
arising from the abduction and death
of Charles A Lindbergh. jr.. are pend
ing in New Jersey. Extradition papers
have been signed by Gov. A. Harry
Moore, and the attorney general said:
when the proper time comes. ap-
plication will be made for removal OF
the defendant to the State OF New
Jersey"
From Germany today came refu-
tation Of Hauptmann's story that the
money found in the side wall of his
garage had been intruSted to him by a
friend, Isadore Fisch.
Paul Fisch, brother of the friend
named, said Isadore returned to Leip-
zig, Germany, on money borrowed
from Hauptmann and died with
scores of bills unpaid.
The possibility that Fisch was
slain to silence him, voiced in some
quarters, was dispelled by the asser-
ton of Paul Fisch that his brother
came home a sick man and died
March 29, 1884, of tuberculosis.
Story Regarded as False.
A secretary to District Attorney
Foley said: 'As far as the Fisch
angle is concerned, Foley regards 1t
as a case Of dead men tell no tales.
He is convinced that Fisch had no
knowledge Of the ransom money and
that the whole story is only an at
tempted alibi for Hauptmann."
