ALIB| PROOF

New Jersey at Habeas Hear

BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN

NEW YORK, Oct. IL U.N.S).
"PrOve your alibi."
This may be New Jerseys lega'
edict to Bruno Richard Haupt
mann when he goes into court here
on Monday at a habeas corpus
hearing in his flight to a finish
against extradition to New Jersey
to stand trial for the murder OF
Charles A. Lindbergh, jr.
Hauptmann's alibi, it is re-
ported, will be that he was playing
pinochle at his home in the Bronx,
New York city, the night Of March
/, 1882, when the baby was kid
naped.
May Take Stand
The burden of proving the alibi
falls upon Hauptmann, according
to New Jersey authorities.
Hauptmann may be compelled
to take the stand 70 prove his alibi,
they intimated.
Joseph Lanigan, chief deputy at
torney general of New Jersey, to-
day explained the law on this alibi
point raised by Hauptmann.
= Insisting that the burden Of
proof in supporting an alibi rests
upon HauptmAnn and his counsel,
Mr.. Lanigar1 cited the action OF
the United States Supreme Court
in ruling on a South Carolina case
where extradition was fought on
similar grounds.
He said the Supreme Court in
this case quoted Article 4, Section
2 of the United States ConStitu.
ton, as follows:
"Any person arrested in one
State as q fugitive who seeks
discharge by the higher court
on the ground that he was not
in the demanding State at the
time Of the alleged crime has
the burden of proving the alibi
beyond reasonable doubt.
UP TO THE JUDGE
''If the evidence is conflicting
he should not be released. The
habeas corpus proceeding is in
no sense a criminal trial and, if
the evidence of the alibi is sus-
piciOus, the judge may well re-
quire the prisoner to submit to
examination to show what ef-
fort has been made to secure
the presence Of important wit
neSSeS."
Mr.. Lanigan cited other Su.
preme Court cases which, he said,
conclusively shows that the de.
fendant must prove his alibi.
Hauptmann'S lawyer, James M,
Fawcett, meantime, was making
preparations for a vigorous fight
against extradition of his client.
Fawcett said that at Mondays
hearing he would present about IS

The old-time political maxim
that "you can't beat somebody
with nobody" slightly paraphrased,
has become the wall of earnest
Republicans who are preparing
for election next month.
AS walled by the "outs," the
maxim becomes "you can't beat
somebody with no money"
Yet that is apparently what
the Republican chieftains are ex-
pected to do. They are expected
to beat the Democratic some
bodies without any financial sup
port from those who in former
days were Republican Somebodies.
There are several reasons for
the fact that the Republican cof.

The thunder of far-Off breakers.
When the wind sings wild and free.
The swish of stOrm-tOssed branches
Blown towards the restless sea;
The music of steady rainfall
On the welcoming. thirsty sod
Some of us call it midnight.
But others call it God.

A beckOning hand in youth,
An impulse prompting justice,
A heart inclined to truth,
A firm resolve to follow

A will to face the darkness

When the race of life is run,

Beneath the mOunded sod

WISHING
By Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Do you wish the world were better?
Let me tell you what to do.
Set a watch upon your actions, keep
them always straight and true;
Rid your mind of selfish motives, let
your thoughts be clean and high;
You can make little Eden of the
sphere you occupy.
Do you wish the world were wiser?
Well. suppose you make a start
By accumulating wisdom in the
scrapbOOk of your heart.
Do not waste one page on folly; live
to learn and learn to live.
If You want to give men knowledge,
you must get it ere you give.
Do you wish the world were happy?
Then remember day by day
Just TO scatter seeds of kindness as
you pass along the way;
For the pleasure of the many may
Ofttimes be traced to one,
AS the hand that plants the acorn,
shelters armies from the sun.
