Trendley took up the nursery note
line by line and word by word to
show why he believed Hauptmann
was not the writer.
Reilly declared:
I'VE never contended Fisch wrote

crime. I believe he got the ransom
money. We don't know who wrote
the ransom notes"
The argument concerned Christ

query as to any possible sinilaritieS
between the handwriting on 1t and
the handwriting in the IA ransom

and Staying of the baby. The State
objected. The card was not immedi-

that the man who wrote the first note

of the nursery, stole the baby and

It's a Grand Old Boat.

TT IS too much to expect she will
prove equal to the four flyers
against which she will be pitted,
but chances are she will be sufficiently
able to make 1t imperative that rival
shippers lose no tricks in sailing
against her. King George last year
was thinking of sending his tried-and-
true veteran of the seas to the bone
ward and building a new sloop, but In
the end he decided that it would be
uniting, tactless and otherwise out
of order, in view of business and
financial conditions, to deplete the
royal exchequer to the tune of some
S150,000.
Statement from London that in her
long career Britannia has never been
distanced by an American yacht is
quite true. She did, however, lose the
Brenton Reef Cup to Royal Phelps
Carrolls Navahoe in September, 1893.
Britannia beat the Yankee cutter, but
Carroll won a protest based on the
fact that one of the stake boats had
been moved without his knowledge.
This protest was sustained. So the
Brenton Trophy came to this country,
where it has remained. Three days
later Navahoe sailed against Britannia
as challenger for the May Cup, taken
to England by the Genesta, but again
was outSailed by the royal cutter; on
this occasion there was no protest and
the cup remains in England
In addition to Navahoe, Britannia
showed her heels to the American
sloop Vigilant when she went abroad
following her successful defense of the
Americas Cup in 1898. A grand old
