New Jersey State police, that a
cast Of the footprints Of the man
who received the $4,000 ransom
from DR.. j. F. "Jafsie" Condor
in st. Raymond's Cemetery, is in
possession of authorities.
Colonel SchwarZkopf left Tren-
ton, N. j., shortly before noon to
confer with District Attorney
Foley Of the Bronx. Whether he
took the footprint cast with him
could not be learned.
The New Jersey State police
chieftain said, however, there is
no cast of the kidnaper's foot
prints. It has been rumored sew
eral times police found footprints
of the kidnaper near the Lind
bergh home, but Colonel Schwarz-
kopf said he had no knowledge OF
them and denied fatty that they
had been transferred to tell'tale
cast.
Stock Sales Checked
Department of Justice agents
and officials Of the New York
Stock Exchange today examined
the records of a $4,000 account
which Hauptmann is said to have
opened a month after the Lind
bergh kidnapping. Hauptmann
has admitted he dabbled in the
market.
Efforts were made to check
the bank notes which went into
the account to determine whether
they were part of the $4,000
which DR.. Condor handed through
a cemetery hedge to a mysterious
man named John"
The bills might have slipped
through undetected, officials ad-
mitted. If this occurred it would
offer an explanation concerning
the whereabouts Of at least part
of the $4,000 which is still
missing.
In addition to the $13,750
found in the Hauptmann garage
almost $4,000 of the ransom
money had turned up at various
places since the kidnapping.
It was generally believed that
Hauptmann bought and sold
stocks through a firm located in
the German colony in the upper
section of Manhattan.
The Uhlig Angle
Although high police officials
are quite generally convinced
that Hauptmann played a "lone
hand" in the Lindbergh kidnap-
ing, they were not overlooking
the possibility he may have had
accompliceS.
If he did, they are certain that
events will prove that Haupt-
mann at least was a key man"
in the crime.
The police, often glib with
promises of arrests in the near
future, were making no such pre-.
dictionS today.
While these clues were being
checked the name of Henry Uhlig,
Bronx furrier, was suddenly in
jected into the case by develop
ments in Leipzig, Germany.
Mr.. Uhlig was amazed to learn
that his acquaintance with the
late Isidore Fisch had thrown him
temporarily into the spotlight of
investigation.
Knew Him Slightly
He admitted he had been ques-
toned by police regarding his
connection with Fisch and his
"slight acquaintance" with Bruno
Richard Hauptmann, the carpen-
ter who insists Fisch gave him the
Lindbergh ransom money found
IN his possession, but was clear
and emphatic in his assertions he
knew nothing of the case. Mr..
Uhlig said:
II knew FiSch well, but I
knew Hauptmann only slightly.
/ am shocked and SpeechlesS by
Hauptmann'S arrest. never
thought he could do such a
thing.
"Hauptmann and were just
casual friends. visited his
house a couple of times. We
just sat around and played
cards."
Mr.. Uhlig came into the case
when International News Service
learned of the events preceding
FiSch'S death in Leipzig early this
year. FiSch, it was learned, had
sent large sums of money home
since 1882, and upon his death
from consumption, his brother and
sister had given Mr.. Uhlig power
OF attorney to wind up his affairs
in America. Mr.. Uhlig said:
"But I didn't find anything
In the way of money or any
thing else. So I sent the power
Of attorney papers back to Leip-
zig"
HE FOUND NOTHING
Asked about a "Safe" reported
in the Leipzig dispatches. where
Fisch was supposed to have kept
the balance Of his money, Mr..
Uhlig said:
There was . safe deposit
box, but 1 don't know what
bank 1t was in, and I don't
know what might have hAAn In
