kYZ31A respect you're not much different
from most Of your fellow-country

about 1t elsewhere, It's not likely that you care
particularly to remember the story of that en-
gagement. For 1t was just another In the long
series of failures and disasters, brought about
by laundering American generals, which makes
the military history Of the War of 1872, with but
one or two exceptions, such dreary reading for
those Americans who like to think that we, as
a nation, have been uniformly successful In ev-

No, the Battle of La Cole Mil was not the

New York, Sept 27.-CUP)- James M. Fawcett. attorney for Bruno Richard Hauptmann, Lind bergh Kidnapping suspect, has been threatened with death unless he withdraws as defense attorney, Fawcett announced today.
 While authorities drew tighter the chain of circumstantial evil dence linking Hauptmann with the actual kidnapping, Fawcett prepar- ed to go before the Bronx county court today and ask dismissal of an indictment charging extortion that was returned by the grand jury yesterday. He will charge lack of evidence.
 New Jersey officials .intimated they would wait until Hauptmann had been tried in New York be- fore moving for his eXtradition to that state where he will face trial for murder and Kidnapping. They denied reports that they hesitated to force the issue because of lack of conclusive evidence, by reveal ing evidence involving Hauptmann in the actual crime which they said was strong enough to justify extra idtion and trial.
 J. Edgar Hoover, head of the federal division of criminal inves- tigation. was prepared at a mo- ment's notice to leave Washington for New York in anticipation of the imminent arrest of Haupt- mann's alleged accomplice in the crime. Federal agents were un- derstood to have uncovered new trails leading directly to the SUD- posed accomplice.
 Fawcett said that someone had telephoned his office twice to threaten him unless he withdrew | from the defense.
 He promised sensational disclos- ures when the prisoner is arraign- ed today. If his plea for dismissal of the indictment is denied, he will ask for bail.
 District Attorney Samuel Foley announced that he would oppose | any effort to bail the prisoner.
 Foley said he planned to bring | Hauptmann to trial in two weeks on an "air-tight" case of extort- ing $50,000 from Col Charles A. Lindbergh, the ransom paid April | 2. 1892 by Dr John F. Condon for the return of baby that already had been murdered.
 Workmen under the direction of detectives continue dissecting the Hauptmann home and garage to- day. hopeful of find additional in- eliminating evidence. Yesterday they found $S40 more of the ram som money cleverly concealed in auger holes. bringing to total of | $14,590, the ransom money found in Hauptmann's possession. It was believed that Hauptmann, an expert carpenter. could have con- structed innumerable of these caches in the two buildings. | Yesterdays discovery shows that
 Hauptmann possesses or has pos sessed total of more than $50. 900 since April ?, 1882, when pr Con- don paid the ransom to the mys- | terious John.
 A summary of Hauptmann's fi- nances:
 Present assets of Hauptmann and Mrs Hauptmann $16.000.

Hauptnann Attorney Says Life Threatened
Telephone Calls Order Him to Withdraw From Case
 Will Ask Dismissal of Indictment To-day

Hauptmann's losses in stock market speculations $7,00O.
 Ransom money found in Haupt- mann's garage $14,590.
 Ransom bills spent in 71 places $5,100.
 Hauptmann's supposed loan to his friend Isidor Fisch $7,500.
 Persons close to Col Lindbergh, who was a witness before the grand jury yesterday, intimated he intended to see and talk to the prisoner but had decided to wait until he could do so without creat- ing a sensation. His attitude was understood to be one of "let the law take it's course," but felt it his duty to see the suspect.
 Lindbergh accompanied Dr Con- don to the cemetery where the ran- som was paid and saw a man, not the mysterious "John," who seem- ed to be acting as lookout.
 In the same cache where yes- terday's money was found, was a tiny automatic pistol of German make. Authorities immediately sought to connect the .25 caliber weapon with the crime. Dr Charles H. Mitchell, county physician of Mercer county, N. J., where the baby's body was found. said it was possible that a bullet from a small caliber pistol made the abnormal opening found behind the left ear of the body.
 New Jersey authorities, in insist ing they would extradite Haupt- mann eventually, disclosed they had three witnesses who had iden- tif1ed Hauptmann as the man they saw near the Lindbergh Hopewell home the day before the kidnap- ing.
 Hauptmann will face a maxi mum term of 20 years imprison- ment if convicted of extortion in New York state. He would face the death penalty if tried for mur- der in New Jersey.

Norma Mllen Giuen
 Sentence; Year m Jail
May Be ParoIed at End of Six Months - Estranged
 Parents Get Severe Castigation By Prosecutor

her estranged parents, the Rev Norman Brighton and Mrs Mar garet Smith Brighton, who were in the court.
 "Her parents selfishly cared more for their own lives than those of their children, and I hope this tragedy will be a lesson to other families in these circumstances" the chubby prosecutor said.
 When she was brought into Dewing's criticism, Mrs Brighton reacted immediately.
 Its pack of lies. Don't print that!" Norma's mother exclaimed to reporters.
 The defendants preacher father his ashen face twitching spasl medically, dropped his eyes and gulped.
 'I do not feel that a long sens tence should be imposed" Dew. ing continued. "But I feel equal ly that it would be improper to place her on probation. The par ents of many young girls are watching the outcome of this case to see if there is any condemna- ton of her action"
 DCWluS was SdLlSlleu tUdt ANOF~ ma had guilty knowledge of not only the Needham raid and slayings but of other murders at Fitch- burg and Lynn of which Murton Millen was accused.
 Her deliberate participation in the sharing of the spells should be punished" the district attorney concluded.
 The 19-year old girl, had she been given maximum sentences, could have been imprisoned for total of 21 years.
 Defense counsel George Doug- las told the court Norma was victim of circumstances and "did not have the strength of charac-, ter or courage to inform anyone about her husbands actions"
 "I ask you to temper justice with mercy and to place her under strict probation" he said. T shudder to think what she would come in contact with at the wo- mems reformatory. She would come out a hardened woman, which she certainly is not now"
 Norma's father, speaking in q low voice, made a. dramatic plea for his daughter.
 "I love my daughter" the for- mer minister said. ''I ask for mercy. If she Is placed under strict probation have faith that she will become splendid woman and useful citizen; we will live up to the most stringent regula- tions your honor may impose. shall not fail you"
 It was obvious that Norma ex- pected a more severe sentence. When the full realization of her fate came to her, the color came back to her face and she left the courtroom with a firm tread.
 The crowded courtroom had re- mained still during the long ar- guments and sentence. But as Norma reached the door, specta- tors broke into cheer.

Dedham, Mass, Sept 27.-(UP) Norma Brighton Millen, a par sons daughter who as killer bandits bride became involved in the most sensational series of crimes in Massachusetts history, to-day faced more weary months behind the bars.
 Late yesterday she was given a one-year jail sentence as an &C., cessory in the Needham bank rob bery of last February and the in- cidental machine-gun staying of two policemen.
 In imposing sentence, however, Superior Judge Nelson P. Brown expressed the hope that she would be paroled as soon as she became eligible, six months hence.
 Monday the state supreme court will hear Norma's appeal. Unless it upsets the verdict, the willowy, chestnut-haired defen- dant must serve her sentence at Dedham jail, where she already has been confined eight months and where her husband, Murton Millen, his brother, Irving, and Abe Faber await mandatory death sentences for the murders.
 By implication, Judge Brown made known that he did not wish Norma to be at liberty until her husband has paid with his life for the staying of Patrolman Forbes A. Mcleod, thus saving her from further exploitation and pub licity."
 "The romance that has been woven around her life," the court said, twill cease when the public has no further interest in the career of her husband"
 The pale violet-eyed Norma stood with bowed head as sentence was pronounced. She had sobbed convuisively when District Attor- ney Edmund R. Dewing asked that she be sent to Sherborn reforma- tory for women for IA months.
 In moving for sentence, Dewing roundly excOriated for her plight

FOOTBALL SEASON
 OPENING AT PARK
Playing Field Being Rear- ranged, Conditioned
 For Season
WASHINGTON HILL

Workmen under the supervision of William Single, caretaker of Washington park are busily en- gagged this week getting the foot ball field in condition for the com ing season. Last year the goal posts ran from east to west but will be changed around this year and the field will be marked off from north to south. The reason for changing the field around this year is due to the fact that the brook that runs at one end of the field made 1t dangerous for play CTS and it was decided to rear range the field to eliminate this hazard.
 The Baldwin Preps football team from the loAe CT end of Baldwin the park one week from Sunday and if plans are completed this week they will meet the Wilson A. c. team from the Town Plot section.
 Tribes Open Sunday
 Washington Hill football fans are eagerly awaiting the first game of the Tribune A. c. which will be played at Hamilton park Sum- day afternoon. The Tribes are practicing every night this week and the practice sessions thus far have attracted quite a few fans from the hill who go to the park nights to see the Baldwin street team workout.
 Truck Overturns
 Persons on their way to work yesterday morning thought for a moment that Baldwin street op- posite Liberty was being given a coat of white paint but upon Investigating it was found out that instead of paint the street had been covered with milk. A milk truck after coming up Liberty street smashed into a parked car on Baldwin street and the milk truck tipped over the result being that hundreds of bottles of milk were spilled and glass was strewn about the street. No one was in- Jured but it was necessary to sta- ton a policeman on duty to direct traffic until the street had been cleaned up.
 olhSc AAUcTly StTeeI was paved last summer autoists have been making a speedway out of the hill and lit is feared that unless some action is taken by the police de- partment that serious accident may happen at this point one of these days.
 Crowds Visit Park
 For the past week throngs of persons not only from the hill section but from other. sections of the city as we'll have visited Wash- ington park to look over the new Community house which Is now practically finished. Painters are now putting on the finishing coat of paint on the exterior of the building while on the inside the finishing touches are being put on the bowling alleys. The huge dance floor has yet to be Nscraped but 1t is expected that this will be done within the next two weeks soas to have the floor in perfect condition for the opening night.
