MADRID, October 3.-Leaders of
Spain's economic and political life
were called into conference yesterday
by President Niceto Alcala Zamora to
aid in the solution of the gravest
government crisis since the republic
was proclaimed.
The situation, following the resigna-
ton yesterday of Premier Ricardo
Samper Ibanez and his cabinet, pre-
sented a maze of complications, but
only two definite courses appeared
to be open.
Jose Maria Gil Robles, leader of the
rightist popular Agrarian action party,
which opposed Ibanez, said only a
majority government-in contrast to
Samper's-or dissolution of Congress
with new elections would solve the
problem.
President Alcala Zamora, it was be-
lieved, would call many other leaders
into conference before taking action
Widespread precautions were taken
by authorities to prevent violent dem
onstartions designed for political CO.
ercion.
Belief that "war is imminent unless
the politicians prevent it," was ex-
pressed by DR.. Fernandez de Los Rios,
former cabinet minister All Socialist
headquarters in Seville Province were
closed.

exclusive information that an accom-
plice of Bruno Richard Hauptmann is
being held incommunicado by New
York police, and that this man has
confessed he held the ladder for
Hauptmann when the Lindbergh baby
was stolen from its crib at Hopewell
on March l, 1882.

that it bears every mark of authen-
ITCHY.

the story is being checked in every
detail.
The prisoner, the Ledger says, told
authorities Hauptmann climbed
through the nursery window, and
while climbing back to the ground
fell when a rung of the ladder broke.
The fall killed the baby, the prisoner
asserted.
The Ledger says it was apparently
this sudden development in the in
vestigation which prompted Gov
Moore to assert yesterday that New
Jersey has enough evidence against
Hauptmann to bring conviction.
Dismay Only Momentary.
In the alleged confession, the Ledger
says, the prisoner recounted the dis
may which struck Hauptmann ano
himself when the ladder broke.
This was only momentary, the story
continues, but both men decided at
once they must get rid of the child's
body.
The Ledger says the confession de-
scribed the ride down the road from
the Lindbergh estate and through the
rolling country to the spot on Mount
Rose road where the body was placed
in the woods.
The Ledger says its informant gave
no hint of the part the accomplice
played in the ransom negotiations
but that he received share of the
S50000 which was paid by DR.. John
