 BOBBY EDWARDS

 the Death Verdict

Wilkes Barre. Pa. Oct s-(U.P.) --The fight to save Robert A. Ed- wards from the electric chair be- gan to-day. Frank McGuigan. de- fense counsel. announced he would submit at least five exceptions to the verdict of the jury which found Edwards guilty of murder ing Freda McKechnie. In his argu- ment for a new trial before Judge w. Alfred Valentine. McCuigan said. he would contend that the court erred in admitting the testi- mony of Warden William B. Heaiy and Stanley R. Freeman. jail physician.
 McGuigan holds that Edwards statements to the warden and Freeman while awaiting trial were privileged. The third point McGui- gan will make was that the court erred in its charge to the jury con- cerning the reasonable doubt" in the minds of the jury. He will also contend that letters which. Ed- wards wrote to Margaret Grain, of East Aurora, N. Y.. the ,''other glrI', should not have been admit ted as evidence. His fifth point will be that the court erred in It's general instructions to the jury. District Attorney Thomas M. Lewis will oppose Q new trial. which will be considered October w. .l.

MASS. MAN WAS
 ARRESTED IN HIS
 BANKRUPT TRIAL
Springfield Man Taken in for Passing Bad Checks
 in WinSted

Isadore Seader of Springfield, Mass, formerly of Winsted was ar- rested in the court room after he completed testifying at his bank ruptcy hearing before Referee Walter F. Torrance here today. He was taken into custody by Lieuten- ant William F. Pollard of the local detective bureau at request of Chief John Slocum of the Winsted police. Chief Slocum informed local authorities that Seader is wanted for passing worthless checks.
 Conference On Arrest
 For time there was a question whether he could be taken into custody and conference between Referee Torrance and Attorney Walter E. Monagan, counsel for Seader, was held in chambers be- fore a decision was reached.
 It was explained after the cham Der hearing that person entering bankruptcy has certain immunities from arrest but is not immune to arrest in alleged criminal proceed ings. Referee Torrance said an arrest in alleged criminal proceed ings, such as sending person to jail for failure to satisfy a court Judgment, cannot be made, but an arrest for any criminal violation can be made.
 Lengthy Hearing
 It was ao lengthy hearing at the bankruptcy session. Seader, proprietor of a grocery store and meat market in Winsted, is now residing in Springfield, Mass. He admitted turning his roadster, a 1890 model over to an employe to satisfy his wage claim, several days Ebefore the bankruptcy petition was 1 filed. Referee Torrance ordered the roadster turned back to the trustee. Attorney John Els. Another car, not included in the inventory by Seader, is located in a garage of his brother in law in Lee. Mass.
 The same order, for this car was entered by Referee Torrance. It also was not included in the in- ventory submitted by Seader. At- torney Monagan asked the witness whether he had told him of the cars and Seader said he had not because he thought it was not necessary. He explained the cars were old and of not much value.
 When Seader left the stand, Lieutenant Pollard went over to him and explained his mission. Seader went along to the police station. He will remain there un- til Winsted authorities come down for him.

 Ladies and gentlemen of the grand jury:
 You have been convened today at the united request of the attor- ney of the state of New Jersey and of the prosecutor of the pleas of this county. Their purpose is to lay before you evidence which they think tends to show that one Hauptmann murdered Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr. in this county on March l, 1892. The states repre- sehtatives definitely state to the court that they. will ask you to re- turn only an indictment for murder at the present time.
 They have stated to the court that the evidence to be presented will tend to show that Hauptmann, the accused. in this county, in the course of the burglary of the dwelling house of Col Lindbergh, done for the purpose of commit ting battery upon and stealing the infant son, Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr, and its clothing, caused such child to be stricken and injured as result of which he died. |. Or that in any event the evil dence will show that the child was killed as the result of a blow or stroke closely connected with the burglary and which was inflicted by the accused in this county. The purpose of the court at present is solely to state for your guidance the pertinant principle of law in (COntinued on Pape Al

MURDER CHARGE
 ASKED OF JURY
Evidence Submitted Be- fore Grand Jury in New
 Jersey To-day
BY JAMES c. AUSTIN United Press Staff Correspondent

Flenfington; N. J., Oct S-(UP) New Jersey concentrated on a murder indictment against Bruno Hauptmann today, putting less em- phasis on a Kidnapping charge for fear legal precedent might enable the Lindbergh case suspect to es- cape the extreme penalty. As Hunterdon county grand jur- ors convened to considered the case, the state sought to estab- fish grounds for murder charges through the testimony of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and Willard Whited, who said he saw Haupt- mann proving around the Lind bergh home just before the kidnap- ing. It was said that a separate Kidnapping charge might permit the prisoner to plead guilty to the less CT crime and bar prosecution on the murder charge.
 Odd Decision Recalled An official source cited decision of the court of errors and appeals in the case of New Jersey vs. Mowser in 1919.
 The 1919 defendant, indicted on separate charges of robbery ana murder arising out of the same crime. pleaded guilty to robbery and the decision held that he could not then be prosecuted for murder. | The calling of the grand jury caused great excitement in this lit- tie town. Main street was jammed with cars all morning and trades people forsook their counters to stand in front of the courthouse. Some of them wore their st or e aprons.
 Supreme Court Justice Thomas w. Trenchard of Trenton arrived at 9:45 a. m. to deliver the charge Long before his arrival every seat in the court room was taken. After the charge, the jury retires to a room above the jail at the rear of the court house to hear the

Voters Must Be Made On The Date Assigned
Although Next Friday Will Be Columbus Day and Legal Holiday, the Law Requires That the Making
 of New Citizens Must GO On

Despite the fact that next Friday will be Columbus day and a legal holiday the making of new voters will start as originally scheduled by the registrars of voters, the se- lectmen and the town clerk, it was learned today. This decision to have the registration board sit is the result of a study of the local charter which contains a special chapter reading that the making" of new electors must start on the fourth Friday before state or na- tional election and the next Friday, the 18th, comes under the require ment.
 The registrars office stated today that under the act governing the making" of new local voters, the board of registration has the right to adjourn from time to time. Therefore, it was stated today, if the business of the day is slow and conditions warrant it, the board will adjourn until the following morning, Saturday. This is not de- finitely set. however.
 Waterbury's charter requires that the making of new voters for the city elections shall be started on the fourth Saturday pre- ceding the casting of votes. The local elections take place in Octo- Der. The state and national cleo tions occur in November. There. fore. the Friday opening governs this years procedure.

There fore, representatives of the regis trars' office will sit in six different sections tomorrow. from 9 o'clock in the morning to g o'clock in the evening to receive applications of prospective electors.

Hauptmann near the Lindberg home in the Sourland mounatins shortly before the Kidnapping. Supreme Court Justice Thomas Trenchard's charge to the jury of 20 men-mostly farmers and mer- chants - and three housewives made it clear that New Jersey will seek to convict Hauptman of murder, for while the penalty may be death, instead of Kidnapping, for which the penalty is 20 years inn prisonment.
 A murder indictment alone was asked because return of a kidnap- ping charge as well as a murder bill might permit the suspect to plead guilty to the lesser charge and es- cape murder trial.
