deported from the United States
in 1928. after he had entered the

Hauptmann says he Is 35 years

fair complexion, blue eyes and
chestnut hair. He is S feet 9Ka
inches tall and weighs 18O
pounds.
Summary of Case.
The case against Hauptmann,
on the basis of information given
out by Police Commissioner
Organ of New York, is this:
/. He has been identified as,
and has admitted himself to be,
the man who passed some of the ram
some money recently.
2. The sum of $13,750 in bills
identified as having been part OF the
ransom money we're found hidden in
his garage.
3. He answers in a general way
the description given by "Jafsie" Of
the man to whom he paid the ransom.
4. His handwriting has been found
to tally with that on ransom notes
written in the Lindbergh case.
S. He is by trade carpenter-an
important point, because the ladder
used by the baby kidnapers seemed
to point to the fact that its owner
had made it himself.
6. He formerly worked at Hopewell,
near the Lindbergh home. and had
access to a lumber company where
could be obtained the lumber of the
peculiar marking that was noted in
the wood used in the kidnapers'
ladder.
z. Hauptmann has not worked at
his trade since about the time OF
the kidnapping, yet appeared to have
money to meet his expenses easily.
8. He is understood to have entered
the United States illegally as stowa-
way IL years ago while on parole
from a German prison camp.
Hauptmann insists he knows moth
ing about the origin Of the money
found in his possession.
No Confidence in Banks.
The reason the money was con-
cealed in his garage-under the floor
and in the sash of the door-Haupt-
mann said, was because he had nc
confidence in banks"
Since Hauptmann's arrest Tuesday
morning he has been constantly
questioned, first by New York police
then by New Jersey State police
(who are directing the hunt for the
baby killer, then by Federal agents
(whom former President Hoover told
to make the Lindbergh kidnapping
live and never-to-be-forgotten
case'), and finally by Bronx officers
In this uninterrupted Interrogation
Hauptmann's story has changed in
several respects, officers said. His
reticence has been a shield against
questioners, who, nevertheless, have
found pertinent points at variance
with known facts, they say.
The story of getting the money
from "a man named Fische," for in
stance, contradicted an earlier story
he is said to have told that he got
the money from bank. A check at
the bank failed to substantiate his
story.
DR.. Condor, known as "Jafsie" in
the early phases of the case, spent
many hours yesterday and last
night with officers. He spent more
than an hour early today closeted
with Hauptmann and District Attor-
ney Foley at the Bronx court house
When he left he failed to make posi-
;La,,&iGnofiAy1 Af tho cIIcnanf
the man to whom he paid the ransom
money.
During the time he was with
Hauptmann "Jafsie" had chance tc
hear his voice and to listen for the
peculiarities of speech which he noted
in his interviews with the ransom re-
ceiver. It was learned. too. that
"Jafsie' was given chance to study
the Hauptmann handwriting, but
had not been satisfied that 1t was the
same as that of the ransom notes.
Picked Out by "Jafsie."
It is understood, too. that yesterday
when "Jafsie" was called upon to look
over a lineup of several men in ar
effort to see if he could recognize the
John" to whom the ransom was paid
he picked out Hauptmann and two
other men who we're detectives. These
men, he said, looked like" the John
of the cemetery trySt.
The importance that past figures
have played in the Lindbergh case was
emphasized in the events that led tc
Hauptmann's arrest. He rendered q
$40 gold certificate to a gas station
attendant in payment for gasoline
The rarity of gold certificates since
the bills were called in by President
Roosevelt several months ago, aroused
the interest of the station attendant
and he jotted the mans automobile
license number down on the bill
4U-13-41, New York State.
The gold certificate was taken to a
bank and its serial number was
checked against the list of bills that
made up the ransom payment. Thus
it was found that the bill was part
of the ransom money, and police were
notified.
The license number-4U-13-41-
traced to Hauptmann. Picked detec-
tives were put on his trail. The sur
veillance for days was disappointing
Hauptmann did nothing to arouse the
officers suspicious.
On Tuesday morning, however, he
left his house, a two-story Bronx
dwelling, and the officers believed that
Hauntmann had SlISnected he Was he
