 West let go three clubs and two diamonds, but on the next trick he was squeezed. If he dropped an other diamond or club, the dealer would squeeze him in that suit.
 If he let go spade. the declarer would cash the king of spades and win the next trick in dummy with the queen of spades.
 Now the ace of diamonds was cashed, then the good spade played, the declarer discarding his queen of diamonds, and West again was fixed.
 If he let go the king of dia- nionds. dummy's jack would be good, while the discard of club would make the declarer's ace. queen, good.

State Claims Sure Case
Against Hauptmann

FLEMINGTON, N. j., Dec. 81.
While defense attorneys revealed
they will place the defendant on
the stand during the trial, the
prosecution claimed today that
it has evidence which will make
virtually an alright case against
Bruno Richard Hauptmann,
charged with the kidnapping and
murder of the Lindbergh baby.
Witnesses will testify that they
saw the German carpenter walk
ing near the Lindbergh house
just before the flier's baby was
stolen, according to Anthony M.
Hauck, jr., Hunterdon county
prosecutor. Expressing the view
that this evidence should have
considerable effect, Mr.. Hauck
asserted:
"Our case Is stronger right
now than it has ever BEEN"

On Rothstein
Property

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Two
brothers were drowned in a
pond on the property of the late
Arnold Rothstein in Maspeth,
Queens, when the ice on which
they we're skating broke.
The boys-Frank and Joseph
Sarcona-9 and IL years old, of
Maspeth, had gone with three
playmates to a pond at Caldwell
Avenue and Seventy-fourth
Street. The place, known as the
Phantom Village" because of
uncompleted and deserted houses
abandoned as a real estate de-
velopment after the murder of
Rothstein in a New York hotel,
had been a favorite skating
place for several winters.
The two brothers ventured into
the middle of the pond, where
the water is Is feet deep. The
ice cracked and they disap-
peared. Their companions ran
until they met a passerby, who
questioned them and notified
the police.

his burglar demanded jewelry on
