down the ladder with it and fell to
the ground as the ladder broke. It
was then. he contended, the baby suf-
fered a fractured skull which caused
its death.
I'VE have proven to you conclusive
ly." he said. that that fall caused the
baby's death when it received the
fractured skull, which was of such
an extent that it caused instantaneous
death"
Later, he said:
You can infer that that crash that
Col Lindbergh heard was the crash
ing of that very ladder outside of the
nursery window"
Col. Lindbergh testified he heard a
noise which sounded like a falling
crate.
You can infer that the defendant
in leaving the premises with the child,
realizing that the baby was dead,
yanked that garment of the baby
and at that time that thumbguard
was dropped on the premises
You can equally infer that after
that little curly-headed baby'S gar
ment was yanked from the body and
the thumbguard was dropped he
(Hauptmann) hurried on to his car,
but it was not until he found the
first safe and convenient place from
the Lindbergh home that he went into
the woods and there hurriedly scooped
a grave and hurried on to the Bronx.
And that is proof that the baby died
en- the premises because if the baby
died elsewhere it wouldn't be buried
so near the Lindbergh home"
The State had to prove the murder
was in Hunterdon County where
Hauptmann is on trial. The body was
found in Mercer County.
II will say to you that Bruno Rich
ard Hauptmann who sits in this court
room did all of these things" To this
Hauck added, I'VE have shown you by
the evidence that Bruno Richard

prosecutor went on, that spells out
to the very world 'Hauptmann! Haupt-
manu-"
He was talking about the ransom
notes. and he declared that the EVIL
dence was conclusive that Haupt-
mann was the writer of every one Of
them.
There is another silent witness
that shouts out, and that is that
board that was taken from the closet
of Bruno Hauptmann's home, a board
on which is not only the address OF
DR.. John F. 'Jafsie) Condor, but
DR.. Condon's original telephone num-
Der, a board in the writing of Bruno
Richard Hauptmann which under
oath in the Bronx he said was his, a
board that wasn't out where the
whole world could see it, but was in

More Startling Testimony
In Famous Mooney Case

were made for his announcement
of this new move to the press,
only he wanted a delay until it
was too late for the morning pa
pers to have editorials against his
action. He left the conference,
ostensibly to make this announce
ment, and instead went to the
Grand Jury, arranged for Ok
mans whitewashing, and gave out
an exactly contrary statement to
the press.
What Cunha had meant by "the
jury situation in the Mooney trial"
was shown by Mckenzie in telling
of accusations he had made to Gun
ha, which the latter did not deny.
These accusations were better ex=
emplifed in the testimony of the
next witness, J B. Zindars, an at
torney, and best of all in the next
one, Jesse G. Denton, McNevin's
brother-in-law.
Zindars testified that in 1917 Nc
Nevin told him that he had con-
suited with Cunha throughout the
course of the trial and kept him
in touch with the jury's attitude.
McNevin later denied this and
threatened Zindars, but Zindars
stuck to his statement.
But Denton's story was even
more startling, and has never beer
told before. His sister was Nc
Nevin's wife, and they were very
friendly. Just before the Mooney
trial, McNevin told him that ht
was to be on the jury. Flicker
and Cunha had arranged it; hi
name was on a ballot fastened b!
an elastic band to the top of thu
ballot box, so he could not be mis-
sed, and he would pretend to- b.

When the Mooney hearing res
convened after nearly three weeks
adjournment, it seemed as if most
of the petitioners testimony were
in and the state would soon begin
to present its witnesses. But the
past week brought more startling
testimony to light concerning the
frame-up than the nearly two mon
tbs previous.
Two prominent figures appeared
as witnesses early in the week
Judge Franklin A. Griffin and ex-
Senaton Samuel Shortridge. But
the real excitement started when
Edwin V. Mckenzie was recalled
to the stand. For two and a half
DAYS Mckenzie testified, giving as
good as he got in grilling cross
examination, and at one point &C
cusing the respondent itself of per
jury in claiming that Oxman was
| not a perjuror. Repeated efforts
were made by Assistant Attorney
General Cleary to have McKen--
zie's evidence, as well as that OF
the two following witnesses, strlck
en- from the records. His attitude
was that it did not matter wna'
proof was brought of any otnel
, crimes against justice committed
by Fickert or Cunha; if it did moi
, involve connivance with perjury OF
suppression of evidence it was ou
side the issues of the petition. Mr.

Washington-In the rush to end
federal direct relief by December,
unnumbered jobless-transients,
unemployables and many others
are being left In the lurch.
Stampeded by callous Republi-
can, Liberty League and press pro
paganda, the administration is
cutting off relief before any prop
err provision is made for the help
less victims of this policy change.
State and local authorities are also
competing for first prize for cal
lOusnesS.
RECRUITING"
FARM LABOR
This is not the first time that
men, women and children have
been trampled almost to death in
such a political stampede. The
most recent example was the sus-
pension of relief in agricultural
areas this summer.
Inspired by the desire for a
large supply of lOw-wage work
ers, the employers press sud-
denly started q deafening prop
uganda about a '1abOr short
age" and about workers refhs-
ing jobs because they preferred
to stay on relief. The authOri-
ties took political fright and
yielded to the pressure.
Some of the effects of this stan
pede on labor (both employed anC
unemployed) are recorded in al
unpublished FERA study. It's find
ings are particularly timely now
when similar propaganda is com
ing from industrial employers ant
much more wholesale stamped
is under way.
USED TO CUT
! WAGE LEVELS
After recounting the extent o
relief suspensions in some Ia sta
ties, the survey summarizes tn
chief points of criticism of this pc
Icy under the following headings
~ The suspension of relief wa
not needed to induce relief client
to accept employment. (2) TIL
closing of relief offices was unne
cessarily extreme. (3) The sue
den suspension of relief tended t
undermine existing wage cond
tons. az The suspension Of relie
was used to crush strikes.
Under the second point of crit
cism, the argument is presente
thus: "Many persons were M
employable either because of ae
or physical disability, and the d
continuance of thbeir relief w;
: entirely unjustifable." This crit
E cism applies with even greats
force today to the stopping Of r
lief to unemployables, without ST
y te or local provision made fl
e them, as shown by the FERA stl
