HUN ERD ON COUNTY
COURT HOUSE, BENNINGTON.
N. j., Jan. 22.-(UP).-A month
before Isidor Fisch sailed away to
spend the shutdown of his years on
the soil of his native Germany,
Bruno Richard Hauptmann thrust
$500 of the Lindbergh ransom
money into a theater box office
window and bought Accent
ticket.
That is what a girl in a black
dress swore Monday.
Miss Cecilia Barr, who works in
the box office at loves Sheridan
Square theater - down on the
fringes of New York's Greenwich
Village-delivered the first direct
attack yesterday against the story
on which Hauptmann has staked
his life.
That story is thus:
That when Isidor Fisch was
ready to sail away and die he
came to his old friend Bruno
Hauptmann and handed him
shoebox. They had been partners
in the fur business, had slipped
beer together and had travelled
down to beach on sunny week
ends. Hauptmann promised to
keep the shoebox.
Mark the date-it was Deem
Der, 1888.
Hauptmann's story goes on:
Almost a year after that the
cardboard shoebox got wet and
began to fall to pieces. So Haupt-
mann opened it and inside found
$4,000. Fisch had borrowed
money from Hauptmann, small
sums at brief intervals, which
came to a total of about $1,000.
Hauptmann decided to dip into
the money and take the $1,000,
because dead men cannot pay
their debts.
And that, Hauptmann says, Is
why ransom money was found IN
his garage, his home and his wal
let.
Yesterday the prosecution called
Miss Barr out Of the pressing
crowd in the hot courtroom and
asked her to take an oath that
Hauptmann was spending ransom

meant another defeat in his To-

But words of sharp import

imprisoned labor leader to return
with his battle to the courts OF
