He issued a statement this aft
ernoon appealing to the people
including German n-AmericanS-to
believe his story and expressing
the hope he will get cleared
soon."
Hauptmann's story is that the
$13,75O Lindbergh ransom money
found in his garage had been en-
trusted to him for safekeeping
by a friend, Isidor Fisch, who
died subsequently in Germany.
The police place no credence
in his story.
Hauptmann's statement, given
out by his counsel, came shortly
after l o'clock as the Bronx
grand jury was adjourning until
9 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Hopes to Be Cleared
The grand jury is hearing wit
nesses and considering evidence
which is expected to result in the
Indictment of Hauptmann before
tomorrow night on the charge OF
extortion.
Among the witnesses who testi-
fled today was Col. Henry L.
Breckenridge. close friend and
confidante of Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh.
Colonel Lindbergh himself is ex-
pected to testify tomorrow.
Hauptmann'S statement follows:
II wish to say to people and
German-Americans 1 hope they
believe my statement and help
me.
"Seeing my wife and baby
the had been permitted to talk
to them in the dictrict attOr-
news office made me feel
better.
II hope the truth will be had
soon. / always had been good
father and husband.
II hope to get cleared sOOn."
That was all to the statement.

ABOARD COAST GUARD
ARGO, Sept. Is G.N.S).-In an
other of those old-fashioned dog
fights which are getting to be
the custom with this series Of
races for the Americas Cup, the
English yacht Endeavour got the
jump on the defending Rainbow
in the sixth race today and beat
her to the first 10-mile mark by
the unofficial margin of l minute
and 8 seconds.
Meantime, both were flying
protest flags, Harold Vanderbilt,
on the Rainbow, evidently object
ing to the manner in which T.
o. M. Sopwith, at the wheel Of
Endeavour, beat him over the
starting line by 40 seconds.
Crew Did Well
incidentally, the amateur Brit
ish crew also did itself proud on
this occasion. 1t handled sail
beautifully, after Sopwith had run
Vanderbilt well back of the start
ing line. Having done this, the
British skipper suddenly brought
the challenger about, broke out
his Genoa with snap and had it
set and drawing before Rainbow
could emulate the move.
Endeavour was crossing the line
as Vanderbilt finally got his Genoa
out. Then as both got full way
on, they doused their staySails.
Not to be outdone in interna-
tional amity, Sopwith immedi-
ately broke out a red protest flag,
for just what reason nobody could
guess.
At 1920 Eastern Standard Time
it was apparent that Endeavour
was slowly opening up the gap be-
tween her and Rainbow. BY this
time the wind had slightly headed
both yachts.
Advantage Dissipated
A little less than an hour after
the start, Rainbow broke out her
Spinnaker. She had worked con-
siderably to weather off Endeav-
our but this advantage was some
what dissipated by the fact that
she was high on her course. En-
deavour continued to hold a lead
of about six lengths with the
first 10-mile mark not SO far
distant.
It remained, in fact, for Wander.
bilt to make the next move, swing.
ing Rainbow back again on the
starboard tack at 1917 (EST). By
this time, Rainbow was more than
two miles to weather of Endeavour
However. the challenger was con.
Siderably in the lead, although
the distance, owing to the position
of the yachts, could not be accur.
ately estimated.
Vanderbilt promptly sent Rain.

German Says Discrimination
Against Strikers Threatens
More Trouble
By Interna tiOnaI News Service

Renewal of the textile strike
frankly threatens in Southern
States. because of discrimination
against union members, Francis
j. German, chairman Of the
strike committee, declared today
Mr.. German urged the disgrun'
tied workers in the South to
await developments and the ap,
pointment of President Roose
velt's new textile labor board and
to give it an opportunity to act
"War Chest' Charged
Mr.. German said Southern
workers were justified in com,
planning against the action of
mill owners. Efforts are being
made in the South to establish a
war chest" to fight labor unions,
he asserted.
Mr.. German said:
1--WE now know with certainty
that a number of employers,
particularly in the cotton in
dustry, are using methods Of
repriSaI against members of the
union. In the south the most
vicious kind of discrimination
is prevalent. Yellow dog con-
tracts, company unions and
absolute refusal to employ
workers unless they repudiate
the union and throw them
selves on the mercy of the mill
owners, are being used.
STRIKERS FURNISHED"
"The condition is one Of
rankeSt discrimination against
union members and manifeStly
an effort to punish them, not
only for striking, but to punish
them for union membership by
denying them unemployment as
well.
1--WE are waiting for appoint
ment of the board by the Presi-
dent under the findings of the
Winant report. We hope this
board will be named without de-
lay.
Sentiment for renewal Of the
strike is strong in the Southern
mill centerS, and we are urging
our members to be patient until
this board is named by the PreSi-
dent. We have some cases Of
discrimination in the North in
the wooden, the wOrSted, and
silk, but we hope to clear these
cases within the next few days."

Hauptmann's home and on it was written the

he was interested in the Lindbergh case like
Everybody else."
In making the announcement of the evidence
against Hauptmann, District Attorney Foley said:
II said before we had ron-clad against
Hauptmann and we did. This last bit of evidence
proves conclusively that Hauptmann committed the
tortion of the $4,000 from Colonel Charles A. Lind
