and at one time robbed q mayors
home Of about 1000 marks.
Dispatches from Germany, where
Hauptmann was born In the town Of
Kamenz, disclosed that the arrest Of
the alleged extortionist Wednesday
was OPPORTUNITY timed, as Hauptmann
apparently was planning to return to
Germany shortly.
The prisoners aged mother there
had asked that the formal charges be
dismissed because Of the statute q
limitations, and in her application said
her son wanted to return to Germany.
The labor department said he WAS
deported from the United States In
1923 after he had entered the country
as q stowaway.
The full text Of the extortion charge
against Hauptmann for the ALLEGED
receipt Of the Lindbergh ransom
money follows:
THAT on the second Of April, 1882,
in the county Of Bronx, N. r, about
the hour Of 10 p. M, In st. Raymond's
cemetery, at East fremont and Whit
temore Avenue, Hauptmann wilfully
and feloniously obtained the sum Of
$4,000 by wrongful use OF force q
fear, the said $4,000 being the prop
erty Of Charles A. Lndbereh- and the
care and custody Of John r. Condor,
the informant, for the release Of said
Charles A. Lindbergh's child who had
been threatened with bodily injury"
The formal charge Of extortion
was entered early Friday naming
Bruno Richard Hauptmann, Z car
penter. Immediately after the charge
was filed, Hauptmann, weary from
long questioning that began following
his arrest last Tuesday morning, was
taken from the Bronx county court
house to police headquarters.
On the other hand, there was IN
optimism current among police offic-
ers who for two years have hunted the
baby killer, that limited there might
be more and startling developments
soon.

mann could be interpreted Is solving

spent many hours Thursday with Of
ficers. He spent more than an hour
early Friday closeted with Hauptmann
and District Attorney Foley at the
Bronx courthouse. When he left he
had failed to make positive identifica-
ton Of the suspect as the man to
whom he paid the ransom money.
It Is understood, too, that Thurs.
day when "Jafsie" was called upon to

effort to see II he could recognize the

he picked out Hauptmann and. two
other men who were detectives. These
men, he said. looked like" the John
Of the cemetery tryst.
The important part that numerals
have played in the Lindbereh case
was emphasized In the events that led
to Hauptmann's arrest. He rendered
q so gold certificate to q gas station
attendant In payment for gasoline
who jotted the mans automobile
license numbers down on the bill
4U-13-4l New York State.
The gold certificate was taken 20 q
bank and its serial number was check
ed against the list Of bills that made
up the ransom payment. Thus 1t was
found that the bill was part Of the
ransom money, and police were noti-
fled.
The license number-4U-l3-4l was
traced to Hauptmann. Picked detec-
tives were put on his trail. The sur
veillance for days was Disappointing.
Hauptmaun did nothing to arouse the
officers suspicious.
On Tuesday morning, however, he
left his house, q two story Bronz
dwelling, and the officers believed that
Hauptmann had suspected he was be-
ing watched and that he was bent
on getting away.
Ransom Bills Found on Him
They arrested him, and found an
other Of the ransom bills on his per-
son. At his home they found pair
Of shoes which had been purchased
recently at q shoe store whose pro-
prietor accepted q gold certificate IN
