Attorney Will Try To Prove
Accused Not In New Jersey
When Crime Committed

NEW YORK, Oct. IL. IL. U.P)-
Bruno Richard Hauptmann will
prove beyond doubt that he was
not in New Jersey the night
Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr., was
stolen from his parents home at
Hopewell, James M. Fawcett,
Hauptmann attorney, announced
today.
Fawcett promised to present
this proof when he argues in su-
preme court Monday for a writ of
habeas corpus that would prevent
his client IS eXtradition to Fleming
ton, N. j., where he has been in
dicted for the baby's murder.
The attorney for the German
carpenter who has been linked
directly with the most notorious
crime Of the century by possession
of more than $4,000 of the Lind
bergh ransom money, pledged the
most vigorous legal fight possible
against extradition and an equally
vigorous fight for acquittal if his
client is extradited and tried.
Fawcett obtained a show-cause
order returnable Monday when
New Jersey authorities presented
extradition papers approved by
Gov. Herbert H. Lehman. If FaW-
cett is denied the writ, he will ap-
peal to the appellate division and
then to the court of appeals, If
this fails he will apply for change
of venue from Hunterdon county,
where, he said Hauptman could
not be given a fair trial because of
prejudice of Lindbergh s neigh
borS.
TRENTON, N. j., Oct. II. U,R-
New Jersey will ask denial of the
writ of habeas corpus sought by at
torneys for Bruno R. Hauptmann
to foreStall eXtradition here largely
on the basis of a supreme court de-
cision which provides a prisoner
shall not be released in the face OF
conflicting evidence.
James M. FaWcett, attorney for
the German carpenter who yester-
day petitioned for the writ, will
present seven or eight alibi wit
nesseS Monday in attempts TO
prove that Hauptmann was not in
New Jersey on the night OF the
Lindbergh baby kidnapping, March
l. 1882, he announced.

Graduation day is approaching and
the seniors are beginning to wonder
/. they will make the grade. Those at
the top don't worry much except to
consider who will take the highest
bonors but some of the others have
doubts. It is a good idea to look into
the matter and check up now to avoid
possible disappointments when di-
nlornas are handed out. Some of the
credits might have been mixed or
overlooked which little time and eff
fort will straighten out. So get busy,
you seniors-it may not be too late.
This also applies in lesser degree
60 the freshmen, sophomores and jun
Tors. They probably don't realize it
now but you can't start organizing a
course to study too soon. When the
student first enters high school he
should decide what he is going to
take up with the idea of graduation
and his future work in mind. This
means that each particular subject
should be chosen for the good which
may be derived from it and not be-
cause it looks like an easy way Of
sgetting BY" Of course, it does not
always work out smoothly all the way
through and some changes are nee
essary, but these will be limited by
careful consideration and a reasonable
amount of work.
And now back to the seniors, with
hopes that the graduating class of
1884 will be bigger and better than
ever before.
