Hauptmann's criminal record
was much worse than the authori.
ties had anticipated. They were
struck by the fact that virtually
all of the crimes we're committed
in March. 1t was on March /,
1882, that the Lindbergh baby was
kidnapped.
Foley said Hauptmann had two
New Jersey maps in his posses
sion. One, a 1882 map put out
by the New Jersey State Highway
Commission, gave towns in the
State to the minutest detail. The
other was a 1881 map put out by
an oil company.
Although the district attorney
at first stated one dictionary was
found, he later produced nine lit
tie English-German dictionaries
found in Hauptmann's effects.
Asked if there were any pencil
marks or undermining on either
Of the maps or the dictionaries, he
refused to answer.
Preparations went forward,
meanwhile, for the trial of Haupt-
mann in New York, on the ex-
tortion charge.
The names of $50 prospective
jurors-12 of which will comprise
a jury to hear the Hauptmann
evidence-were picked today by
Commissioner Of Jurors John A.
Pachler.
SubpoenaeS were Immediately
issued for their appearance at the
Bronx county courthouse next
Thursday. On that date they will
be examined by the Bronx district
attorney and counsel for the de-
tense.
The names were drawn from a
large wooden cylinder, amid quite
a ceremony. 1t required Is min.
utes for Mr.. Pachler to select the
$50 names.
He turned the box by means Of
a crank. The box contained 800
names. Each time he turned the
crank several names, written on
slips Of paper, came out. AS each
name was selected, Mr.. Pachler
read it aloud to his clerk, Joseph
A. McMullen.
Schenck ExOnerated
Present at the drawing were
Judge James M. Barrett, who will
preside at the eXtortion trial:
Bernhard M. Meisels, associate
counsel for the defense, and AS
sistant District Attorney Nicholas
F. Delago, representing Prosecutor
Foley.
While Foley was telling the
press in New York of Haupt
mann's road maps, Col. H. Nor.
man Schwarzkopf, head Of the
New Jersey State police, was
granting an interview in Trenton.
Schwarzkopf said he had not
been asked to appear before the
Hunterdon county grand jury
which is reported getting ready
to indict Hauptmann for kidnap-
ing and murder. He was asked:
"Have you questioned Jarrett
Schenck, a fish peddler?"
I'VE had him two years ago,
when a woman tried to involve
him in the case. There was
never anything to it,"
Schwarzkopf said he had mo
predictions to make" when asked
If he thought New Jersey would
complete it's case against Haupt-
mann this week.
Hauptmann, in his cell today,
was as cold, detached and nerve.
less as ever. He ignored his
guards and fellow prisoners.
Five psychiatrists have already
given him a two-hour examination
and, tomorrow afternoon, they will
complete their sanity test. They
represent Bronx county, the State
Of New Jersey, and the defense.
The Average Type
One of those who examined him,
DR.. James B. Spradley, first as
sistant medical director of the
New Jersey State Hospital at
Trenton, said today that Haupt-
mann "is the average German
type; not at all vicious in appear
ance, and slow and deliberate in
speech"
He said the psychiatristS had no
difficulty in understanding Haupt-
mann and he had no trouble COM
pretending their questions.
