Disputes Fisch Alibi.
Police said today that they had
found a man who contradicted Haupt-
mann's story that Fisch had given
him a package containing the sl3,75O.
This man. whose identity was not dis
closed. said instead that Hauptmann
had been one of several people from
whom Fisch borrowed money. AT one
time in 1882, according to this witness,
Fisch told Hauptmann he needed
money and, rather to his surprise,
Hauptmann offered to lend him some.
According to the story of this I'M
identified man, the first loan was $3,-
600 or $4,000, and there were subse-
quent loans, the total being $500.
In addition, his story said, Fisch
borrowed from at least two other
persons. This witness told police he
was loath to believe Hauptmann had
been guilty of any crime, but that
he always had been puzzled how
Hauptmann kept supplied with money
after he quit working in 1882.

at Seagirt, N. j., that the handwriting
of Hauptmann has been positively"
identified as the same as appeared on
the several ransom notes.
In linking Hauptmann with the
kidnap ladder, Schwarzkopf said that
the lumber had been traced to the
yard of the National Millwork g. Lum-
Der Co., in the Bronx, and that in
vestigators had learned Hauptmann
had worked there on odd jobs prior to
the kidnapping.
