Tsingteh long has been one Of

The United States legation here,

Fears for Infant
Grave fears were felt over the
safety of the infant, as it appeared
incredible that the bandits would
slay her parents and spirit the
baby away unharmed.
So far as could be learned, no
demand for ransom had been re.

couple, although this was the pro-

Science urns
Sunlight Into
Electricity

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Sun.
light was transformed directly
into electricity at a demonstra-
ton before the New York Elec-
trical Society last night.
The sunlight motor" was
demonstrated by Ellis L. Man
ming, physicist, and is expected
to lead into a new field of sci
entific work.
The "block layer CELL" as it is
called, is composed of four
black discs each about twice the
size Of silver dollar. coated
with a single fine layer of selen-
ium and over this a film of
platinum. There is some Sc
cret chemical compound be-
tween the selenium and plati-
mum.
The plate was set about a
foot from a 5O-watt electric
bulb, and as quickly as the
bulb was lighted, the motor
attached to the plate started.
The motor, about as small as a
little finger, developed about
one-fiftieth as much power as is
required to run an electric
clock.
Although sunlight motors
have been run before, this is
the first time that some inter-
vening machinery has not been
used.
The cells were invented by DR..
c. w. Hewley, of the General
Electric Company.

The doctor reported:
"He asked how they were

Demand of Hauptmann for
Bill of Particulars Due
Answer This Afternoon
By LANES L. KILGALLEN

FIEM1NGION, N. D., OeC. ID
0.N.SO-Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann's fight to force the prosecu-
ton to furnish the defense with
a bill Of Notwithstanding the
charges against him-came up to-
day in Hunterdon County Court
where, on January 2. the German
ex-convict is to be tried for the
murder of the Lindbergh baby.
Justice Thomas w. Trenchard
set this afternoon as the time the
prosecution must show cause why
they should not furnish the de-
fense with the bill of particulars.
Hauptmann, through his coun-
sci, contends he is unable to de-
termine from the indictment
voted against him the nature Of
the case the State purposes to
submit. He further asserts that,
without the bill Of particulars, he
is unable adequately to prepare
his defense.
Nine Questions Asked
Defense counsel demands the
prosecution answer such questions
as:
1. Is it the intent of the in
dictment to allege the murder
was committed with premedita-
ton and with malice afore-
thought?
2. Is it alleged the murder
was committed while the in
dicted man was engaged in the
commission of felony?
3. Does the State charge that
Hauptmann is a principal or an
accessory in the crime?
4. If Hauptmann is charged
with being an accessory, does
the State contend he was
within the State of New Jer-
Sey at the time the crime was
committed and, if so, at what
point in New Jersey?
Ransom Notes Cited
5. Does the State contend
that Hauptmann was solely re-
SponSible for the crime or was
he g. member OF group WHICH
was responsible?
6. Does the State contend
that all the ransom notes were
written by the same hand?
7. Does the State contend
that Hauptmann wrote the ran
som notes?
8. When does the State con-
tend the baby died?
9. What does the State con-
tend was the cause Of the baby's
death?
1t is the defense's object to
force the prosecution to state
specifically whether it contends
Hauptmann actually went up the
ladder at the Lindbergh home on
the night of March l, 1882, and
kidnapped the baby. Also, whether
the baby was killed in the process
of that crime or whether it was
subsequently slain.

five men. The sixth. i'll, was per.
mitted to remain with his wife.
