JURY TAXES , BALLOTS WITH
 MERCY CLAUSE
Sixth Voting Results in Verdict Demanding
 Death Penalty

PENNINGTON, N. J., Feb. 14.- From source close to the jurors, it is said that six ballots were talk en before the jury could agree that Hauptmann should go to the chair.
 From the same source, it is said Robert Cravatt, Educational Di- rector of a CCC camp, held for five ballots to a verdict of guilty with recommendation of mercy.
 On the first ballot Mrs. Rosie Pill and Mrs. Verna Snyder voted with Cravatt for mercy but swung over on the second ballot.
 The jurors, in presenting their verdict, showed more emotion than did Hauptmann.
 The members of the jury return ed to their homes today after spending the night in their usual place, while sitting on the case.
 After the verdict was returned and they returned to their quar- ters, the jurors relaxed in dancing and singing.

 A day later the underworld en- tered the picture. Salvatore Spitale and Irving Bitz, two New York characters, were authorized to act as intermediates.
 Authorize 'Go-Betweens'
 On that day, March 5, the Lind berghs once more issued an ap- peal through the newspapers:
 'If the kidnapers of our child are unwilling to deal directly with us, we fully authorize 'Salvy' Spit ale and Irving Bitz to act as our go-between. We will also follow any other method suggested by the kid napers that we can be sure will bring the return of our child"
 Their efforts were fruitless.
 Meanwhile ransom notes were coming in and finally there appeared on the stage Dr. John F. c'Jafsie') Condon, Bronx educa- tor whose advertisements in the Bronx Home News brought about payment of $50,0O0 in ransom.
 (One of the first witnesses
 for the state at the trial of
 Bruno Richard Hauptmann was

By B. L. LIVINGSTONE

PENNINGTON, N. J., Feb. IA To the extensive case history of American jurisprudence the Haupt- mann trial has been added as a notable example of criminal prose- cution.
 Stranger than fiction, in many respects, were phases of the prose- cution's case against Bruno Rich ard Hauptmann, the thin-faced German carpenter who lived as a nonentity until thrown into lone- ly relief before the worlds eye by the calcium glare of the laws spotlight.
 Bit by bit, word by word, the state of New Jersey drew upon circumstance and fact, the camera and the microscope, to construct a barrier of evidence between free dom and the man it charged with the "crime of the century"
 For months, years, the Lind bergh case was categoried among the most baffling to come before law enforcement authorities. Be- tween the death of Charles Augus- tus Lindbergh Jr, the baby mourned by millions, and Haupt- mann's arrest, almost three years intervened.
 Yet when David T. Wilentz, the youthful appearing attorney gen. eral of New Jersey, called his first witness to the stand in the ancient Hunterdon county courtroom, TO paucity of evidence or witnesses existed.
 Mystery, Science in Case
 The story of the three-year hunt for the kidnaper of the Lindbergh baby, when it was placed precisely and implacably in the court rec ords, constituted a real-life paral- Tel to dictionary adventure. In many of it's details, it surpassed the imagery of A. Conan Doyle Its elements were raw mystery human patience and ingenuity, and the science of modern criminology that almost always "gets its man.
 Attorney General Wilentz built a case from a miserable handful Of clues to a circumstantial bludgeon overwhelming in it's implications

PENNINGTON. N. J., Feb. 14.- Chief Defense Counsel Edward J. Reilly said this afternoon that he believes that if substantial justice is ever done in the HauptESann case, the verdict will be reversed.
 Reilly listed as probable reasons for the severe verdict the mob psychology, screaming headlines in newspapers exhibited to the jurors as they walked to and from the court house, radio broadcast in the jury's hotel. giving a prostate yer sion of the case, excitable women in the lobby of the hotel who would call out to the jurors as they passed through the lobby and the powerful charge by the court in emphasizing the prosecutions evil dence with more or less slight reference to the defense.'

House Chairman Predicts Victory for Air De-

WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb. IA Paying no heed to the "shush- shushers," Representative John C.. Dockweiler, California Democrat, told the House Military Affairs committee today that 25,000 train ed Japanese army reserves on the West Coast stood ready to take up arms.
 He said that packed into Los Angeles harbor were 150 Japanese fishing boats each with cruising range of 1000 miles. "At least they appeared to be fishing boats" he said, significantly disregarding the admonition that such testi- mony should be given in secret session.
 Air Base Hearing
 The committee is holding hear ing on the measure which would provide air bases in Alaska, Pana- ma and the West Coast states.
 Later Dockweiler told reporters the fishing smacks were captain ed by Japanese reserve officers and that they had been built with financial assistance from the Jap anese government. Some of them, he said, are capable of quick con- version into armed vessels and added that some of the vessels had air tanks developing sufficient pressure to launch torpedo. Oth- CTS are capable of accommodating small cannons and machine guns, he said.
 Meet War Vessels
 While the ships actually go out to sea fishing they also meet Jap anese war vessels to exchange nav al reservists who have finished their training on the coast, Dock weller said
 Chairman Rogers of the House committee predicted the air base bill would pass.

BENNINGTON, N. J., Feb. IA Out of the gaze of the curious and returned to his cell last night, Bru- no R. Hauptmann broke into tears.
 HauptnaEn fell face down on his bunk in his cell and broke into SobS.
 He sat on the edge of his bunk long into the night, still crying.
 Early today, Hauptmann fell into a fitful sleep, just as dawn was about to approach.
 Hauptmann was, awakened at the breakfast hour this morning by his guards and ate oatmeal, bread and coffee.
 He lay back again on his bunk, silent and depressed.
 This forenoon, after regaining his composure. defense attorneys Reilly, Fisher and Rosecrans called on their client and he asked them: How could anybody believe that I, the father with a child like Manfred, my little son, could kill anybody else's baby?"
