Governor Herbert Lehman of New
York, for extradition of Haupt-
mann to New Jersey.
The procedure probably will be as
follows:
Dismissal of the extortion charge
will be sought on Monday in magi-
strates court.
Then the grand jury of Bronx
county will have indicted Haupt-
mann and on Tuesday or later,
Hauptmann will be arraigned before
8 Bronx judge to plead, unless the
the move for extradition has gone
through before that time.
If he pleads not guilty, he will be
given swift trial However. it is
considered more likely that he will
be extradited.
In the dazzling white lights OF
the police lineup this morning, with
his nervous voice magnifed by
loud speakers, Hauptmann insisted
that the ransom money was given
to him by a friend who later died
in Germany.
Prisoner Is Shaken
The prisoner, linked by federal
agents to the kidnapping through
half a dozen circumstances, includ-
ing the similarity of his hand-writ-
ing to that of the ransom notes, was
a shaken and hesitant figure when
he mounted the platform at police
lineup prior to being arraigned on
extorition charges in the Bronx.

and he was freshly shaved. But

LOS ANGELES. Sept. 21.-Colonel
and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh re-
NAMED in SecluSion today, still
silent concerning arrest of a suspect
in the Eidnap-murder of their first
child.
They isolated themselves in the
spacious ranch home of Will Rogers,
who several days ago cabled them
Selevs to make it their home during
their stay in southern California.
Colonel Lindbergh could not be
reached, but Jack Maddux, former
airline executive and a close friend.
said no statement would be issued
until the noted fiier receives word
from his attorneys in New York
The Lindbergs planned to fly to
San Francisco today for a short
stay before returning to Los Angeles,
but these plans we're reported cam
celed.
Whether they planned instead to
return to New York could not be
learned. The small plane in which
they few west last week still was
hangared at Santa Monica.
Mr.. Maddux said Colonel Lind
bergh appeared little interested
when advised of the arrest in New
York of Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann.
When I heard of the arrest I i'm
mediately reached Colonel Lind
bergh. giving him all the details,
Maddux said. Colonel and Mrs
Lindbergh have nothing to say about
the case. nor of their plans for the
immediate future. but will issue a
formal statement when they are
ready.
Colonel Lindbergh did not seem
much interested when I told him.
The Rogers home is not far from
Clover Field. Santa Monica. where
Colonel Lindbergh's plane is in a
hangar. RumorS that he might take
of from that field for a quick re-
turn fight east grew when a large
Douglas transport ship was wheeled
out of a hangar early today and
prepared for a fight.

In the end-after Hauptmann had
stood in. the white glare of lights at
the police lineup and after he had
been bound over without bail at his
arraignment-the police and federal
agents were convinced that the pris-
oner was involved directly in the
planning and execution of the most
sensational crime of the century.
But Hauptmann and MS ex-
hausted, unStrung wife were as We
hement as ever in their denials of
his guilt Standing in police lineup,
Hauptmann denied knowing he had
possessed the ransom money and
denied ever visiting the vicinity of
the Lindbergh home in New Jersey,
from which the infant was kidnapped
March l, 1882.
There were, however, significant
developments in the drive of police
to complete solution of the Lind
nergh mystery-a battling case which
they believe Hauptmanns arrest
will solve.
Different View Taken
1t was significant, for instance
that whereas federal officials are
convinced it was a one-man job,
the New York police take different
view.
Chief Inspector John j. Sullivan
said the first visible break in Haupt-
manns composure came as he
talked to the prisoner. His Shout
ders sagged after many hours Of
questioning and tears came into his
eyes.
This was a one-man job" Sulli-
van said later.
do you think Hauptmann chiseled
in to get the ransom?" he was
asked.
Lots of things are developing
rapidly" the inspector replied. LAS
it now stands, if this man was not
present at the kidnapping he had
hand in it. There are others in
it, however
At one time Hauptmann denied
that he had ever read the Bronx
Home News in which the ransom
recipient carried on communication
with DR.. j. F. (Jafsie) Condor. the
Intermediary. However. police said,
a checkup showed that the news
paper had been delivered regularly
to him at one time.
Indictment Is Due
Hauptmann will be indicted by
the Bronx county grand jury today
or tomorrow, Andrew Mccarthy, as

nounced. He said the prisoner told
him he did not want lawyer.
Hauptmann was taken to Bronx
county jail to await hearing on
Monday.
Meantime, it was learned that it
is almost certain that he will be OK
tradited to New Jersey to face
charges of kidnapping and murder.

He admitted he had worked at

If that also should prove to be
part of the ransom, it would account
for all the $4,000 except about

been passed before Hauptmann's ar

One conflicting development

Manhattan police had said that DR.

Hauptmann, but after he was re-

him.
Wife Is Threatened
Hauptmann's 32-year-old wife,
Anna. who had been held since last
Friday, was released early today and
returned to her home. Police ap-
parently were convinced she did not
even know of Hauptmann's wealth.
Neighbors had said that Haupt-

and she frequently borrowed small
sums to pay for groceries.
News that the crime which shocked
