While the general opinion Of

there are many who believe that
when President RooSevelt'S reor-

it will indicate a further accen'

Hauptmann, the Lindbergh
case suspect, was arraigned
in Bronx county court today
on an indictment charging ex-

wore horn-rimmed spectacles
and had his face shielded by a
hat pulled low.
Hauptmann looked weary
and needed a shave when he
was brought into the court
:oom to be arraigned before
County Judge Lester w. Pat
terson. The kidnap suspect
wore the same gray suit he
had on when arrested. His
white shirt was open at the
throat and he had no necktie.

The prisoner was silent.
