STATE CLOSES
CASE AGAINST
THE KIDNAPPER
Hauptmann Withstands Cruel
ing Cross Examination
OF Prosecution
DEFENSE NOW ATTEMPTS
TO ESTABLISH ALIBI

The trial of Bruno Hauptmann for
the kidnapping and murder Of the in
FAINT son of Colonel and Mrs. Charles
Lindbergh, is proceeding along its
weary length, at Pennington, N. J.
The State has finished it's case after
it had apparently woven a web of
circumstances around the accused,
from which it seemed almost imposs-
ible for him to extricate himself. The
presence of the man in the neighbor-
hood the day before the crime; the
famous exhibit of the ladder; the SIM
ilarity between Hauptmann's hand
writing and that of the ransom notes;
the positive Identification of Colonel
Lindbergh and "Jafsie"; the testimony
of wood experts in the ladder case;
the prints of tools; the finding of the
money in Hauptmann's garage; and
many other evidences seem to point
to him as the guilty man.
Amidst all the gruelling cross ex-
animation of the prosecuting attor-
neys, the prisoner has steadily main
tanned his innocence; and, altho' he,
at times has been evidently much dis
turbed, he has never yet reached the
point of cracking. Once he did ap-
pear to be on the verge of break
down and ready to confess all; but
his phlegmatic German disposition
rallied under fire and he managed to
regain his composure.
The defense has relied on establish
ing an alibi for Hauptmann, but at
this writing testimony seems to be
somewhat weak to conform it. His
wife sustains the accused's' declara-
ton he was elsewhere and so does
Albert Carstrom, a carpenter who said
Hauptmann was in the Bronx at $3.50
P. :, the night of the kidnapping. The
State is making light of these declara-
tons.
Hauptmann denies any knowledge
of the crime and lays on a dead man
the possession of the money. Var
ious opinions have been expressed as
to the outcome Of the trial. Evidence
enough to send the prisoner to the
chair has been deduced, but many
think it is all seasoned with a. grain
of reasonable doubt. The trial is at
tracing unprecedented attention, and
the world is awaiting with avidity the
verdict.

Two very interesting basketball
games were played in the Pocomoke
High School gymnasium Tuesday ev-
ening, January 29th.
The boys took the county champion
ship by defeating the Berlin team by
a score of % to 20. The regulars
piled up substantial lead in the early
part Of the game. This gave Coach
Ludvigson an opportunity to use the
second squad. They did not remain
in the game very long for Berlin soon
pulled up. When within one point of
tieing the score the regulars RENTER
ed the game. The game was never in
doubt from that time.
The girls put up one of the best of
the season. Helen Sturgis was high
scorer for the evening, being account
able for 16 points which helped Po-
comoke to win 20 to 9. The good
work of the guards made it almost
for Berlin to score. A win
Friday night will mean the county.
championship for the girls.

DEFEATS LOCAL
GUARDS QUINT
Colts" Prove To Be Stronger
Than The Soldiers By Two
Field Goals
INTERESTING GAME AT
LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL

Two very evenly matched basket ball
teams met in the local Armory on
Monday evening of this week; one
being the Pocomoke National Guard
quint; the other, the "Colts" from
Dagsboro, Delaware
The visitors scampered just little
too friskily for the soldiers and trot-
ted away with the game by the score
of "a to 20, the difference in the tally
being obtained by two more field
goals; the foul shots were 6 each.
Galloway, of the home outfit, was
high scorer, he chalking up three goals
and two fouls for a total of eight
points. Lockwood, of Dagsboro, led
his team with three goals and one
foul-seven points. The game was
nip and tuck, first one and then the
other taking the lead. With little
more accurate shooting on the part of
the Guards, the score might have been
different, as they missed enough
chances to win. The guarding was
good on both sides as can be seen by
the comparatively low score: S.

LARGE TRUCK TAKES
NOSE Dive into RIVER

A large truck containing two men
skidded on Camden Avenue Salisbury,
Monday morning and dived into the
icy waters of the Wicomico river. The
truck driven by Lewis Snead, a resi-
dent of Cherryville, N. c., was en-
route with a cargo of eight tons of
yarn and asbestos from Gatsonia, N.
c., to Chester, Philadelphia and Tren-
ton. With Snead was Carl Thorn
burg also of N. c., who was asleep
in a bunk of the trucks cab.
Thornburg broke glass and climb
ed into the water but missing Snead
returned to the cab and pulled him
from. the seat. Snead was helpless
with an injured shoulder and chest.
The trucks motor was stuck in the
river bottom with the rear end pro-
jecting over the ice which coated the
river.
While the accident did not result
seriously for either man it was par
ticularly tragic inasmuch as the news
brought instant death to Thornburg's
father, when he was informed Of the
accident at his home more than 200
miles from the scene. The father, Al,
died instantly of shock when he heard
the news.

Well, Sir, old Boreas certainly did
play mean trick on the sunny south
land state of Florida last week. You
know, this section of the good old
land of ours has always been noted
for its everlasting spring. 1t is the
reputed location of the Fountain of
Eternal Youth" Pictures show tour
specially the female sojourner-
clad in bathing suits of the most ap-
proved style Of abbreviation, and dis
porting themselves in the waves of
the sea as they come rolling in on the
sandy beaches. Flowers and oranges
and pomegranates and luscious grapes
grow in profusion, and magnificent
hotels advertise sunshine from years
end to years end. Old inhabitants
will always tell yeu that cold spell
which happens to blow in, is the first
in "forty years"
But, 10! and behold! last week a
prize fight scheduled to take place
in Miami, had to be postponed on ac-
count of a cold wave. That's a body
smash to all those tales of year in
and year out warmth and coziness
down there, while we poor devils here
are shivering our liver-lights out of us.
Florida is now like the rest of the
world-has to take it's weather as it
comes, and this is another illustra-
ton of the old adage, ga rose by any
other name would smell as sweet"

GEN. ASSEMBLY
IS CONSIDERING
DEFICIT QUESTION
Two Plans To Meet Demands OF
State Offices And For
Working Reserve
NICE WANTS $4,000 FOR
STATE INVESTIGATION

The State Legislature is now con-
sidering methods of meeting the re-
ported deficit of over IA millions
and of creating a working reserve of
1 1-2 millions.
There have been two plans suggest
ed for raising funds; one by amending
the State law to enable the Board Of
Public Works to sellq Immediately the
state owned annuity of the North Gen.
trail Railroad, and place the proceeds
in the general funds of the state. It
is believed it could be sold for over
2 IL millions.
AS an emerging measure, the bill
presented by Senator M. L. Veasey,
to levy tax of one dollar on every
barrel of beer, will be reported favor
ably from the Committee on Finance.
AS stated previously in the "Demo-
crat," Senator Veasey has been as
sured this tax would be absorbed by
the manufacturers.
Another matter claiming the at
tention of the General Assembly, is
the proposed investigation of all state
departments as the fulfillment of his
campaign utterances. 1t is announ-
ced that an appropriation of $4,000
is asked for this purpose, and this is
not likely to be looked upon with fav-
or by the legislators.
1t is all right to have the investiga-
ton, but as stated, editorially by the
Baltimore Sun" on Thursday last,
"It would be possible to have a very
competent investigation at far less
than the sum if the resources at hand
were. used. There are public-spirited
men of ability who would be willing
to give their services in an investi-
cation. And technical assistance Of
great value could be given them by
Governor Nice without difficulty. The,
State Auditors office is subject to.
his control. So is the Bank Commits
sioner's office. And, in general, no
Governor in this country has greater
authority or greater power to turn
things inside out than the Governor
of Maryland.
"Let the investigation be held, in
accordance with Mr.. Nice's promise
to the people, but let the Governor
and the leaders of the Legislature put
their heads together and arrange the
in such form that the in
vestigation will not have the appear
ance of luxuriously appointed fish
ing expedition"
; So it is quite likely that this one
economical CD idea of an investiga-
ton will not be looked upon with favor
by the Assembly, and the appropria-
ton asked for will be materially cut
down.

BIRTHDAY BALL IS
SUCCESSFULLY STAGED

The Presidents Birthday Ball held
by Worcester fountains in the Ar
mory, this city, on Wednesday even
ing, was attended by about $50 coup
les, and was therefore, as successful
as anticipated. These affairs were
so general in their occurrence on that
evening that large financial returns
could not be anticipated from any one
function, except possibly in the lar
ger cities. In the aggregate, tho, the
1885 functions will exceed in money
returns those Of the preceding year.
The Armory was tastefully and pa
triotically decorated, the music salts
factory, and the whole affair reflected
great credit upon those who had the
management on their shoulders. Sew
enty per cent of the net proceeds will
go toward local needs and it is esti-
mated this sum will amount to nearly
SIS. L. Griffin Callahan was chair
man for Pocomoke and Eugene p.
Matthews was general treasurer for
the county.

from the
Democrats Pen

Well, Sir, see my old friend and
pal, Howcome? of the Berlin Times,
has busted loose once more and again.
He SAYS we "Would Be" newspapers
Of Worcester County-that's what he
calls us-we don't mind it so much
for ourselves but blest if we don't feel
like takin' up arms in defence OF our
contemporary in Snow Hill. Still,
however, moreover, and nevertheless,
we reckon the editor there can take
care of himself-provided he knows
there's a paper in Berlin, which is
doubtful.
started to say that friend How
come? says we would Be" news
papers seem to think that the only
man in the Maryland Senate is the
Honorable Milton L. Veasey. Well,
If that be the case then we resemble
1.-THE Only" newspaper in the county
because we are so different. "The
Only" somehow or other, seems to
think Senator Veasey is not there at
all-the wish being father to the
thought. So that, between the 'Would
Bees" and "The Only" it's case Of
"now you see him and now you don't
see him." It's one of those Believe
it or not" situations creeping up again.
But I have a sneaking idea that
dim vision of the Senator's presence
is beginning to appear on the mental
horizon of "The Only's" editor; and,
maybe, before the session is ended he
will see the full stature Of the Wor-
cester legislator outlined in clear re-
lief and perhaps in more colossal pro-
portions than "The Only" would like
to admit.
For, "The Only" did say that all
Senator Veasey had done so far was
to oppose Governor Nice. Whether
that is a proof that the Senator is
not in Annapolis, I can't say. "The
Only might assume the position that
our Upper Houseman might as we'll
be in Alaska, Labrador, Greenland,
Kamschatka, the PHILIPPINES, or the
South Sea Islands, as to be in Anna
polls opposing Governor Nice. It's
just too bad to oppose Governor Nice.
"The Only" was so fervent in his zeal
for this gentleman during the cam
paigns that I doubt he has cooled off
sufficiently to understand why anyone
should oppose Governor Nice. The
present Chief Executives career has
been of such character as to stamp
him man of real outstanding states
manship, profound learning, marked
administrative qualities, and high
grade citizenship; SO much so that it
would be treason to oppose any of his
legislative propositions. "Ihe Only"
adores him because the Governor was
about the only salvage of the Re-
publican party in the state, and the
only solace to "The Only's" feelings
when the great tide of Democratic
votes rolled in last November. Stick
to him, old pal, he may hand you out
something or other.
