TRIAL CL|MAXES
LONG, TEDIOUS
POLICE HUNT

After more than two-andA-haH
years Of worldwide search, police
on September 10, 1884, placed
Bruno Richard Hauptmann under
arrest for the kidnapping and muir.
der of the Lindbergh baby on the
night of March l, 1892.
With this arrest there was re-
vealed the intricate net which the
law-enforcing officers of many
countries employed to trap the
person responsible for the crime.
AS tangible evidence police
had only the ransom notes paid
by Col Charles Lindbergh for the
return of his child.
And following the trail Of the
extortion money the law enforce
ment officers finally trapped
Hauptmann.
Quick Trial Demanded
Quick trial Of the arrested man
was demanded and after a hear.
ing before a Bronx court Haupt-
mann was brought into the juris-
diction in which the crime was
committed.
On January 3 the jury panel
was completed and the State of
New Jersey began a spectacular
fight to send the man it be-
lieves guilty of the kidnapping and
murder to his death.
Illustrating the extraordinary
steps taken by the State to COM
plete its chain of evidence, Miss
Betty Cow, Lindbergh baby nurse,
was brought to this country from
her home in Scotland to testify.
Voice Identified
Witnesses were called to testify
that Hauptmann was seen in the
vicinity of the Lindbergh home
shortly before the kidnapping.
Colonel Lindbergh and DR.. John
F.. "Jafsie" Condor, aged educa-
tor who acted as an intermediary
in the ransom negotiations, identi-
fled Hauptmann's voice as that
of the man who took the ransom
hoard from them in the cemetery
in the Bronx.
One of the strongest supports
of the States case against the
stole carpenter was the testimony
presented by the numerous hand
writing experts who appeared on
the witness stand.
The concensus Of their state
mentS was that Hauptmann wrote
the ransom notes.
Witnesses for the State testi-
fled Hauptmann had spied on DR..
Condor; that the German car
penter had passed ransom bills be.
fore the date on which he stated
he received the extortion hoard
from Isador Fisch; that Haupt-
mann limped following the date
when the Lindbergh baby was kid
mapped, and that Hauptmann con-
structed the ladder, using a board
from the attic of his home as one
of it's sides.
The defense countered with
charges that not Hauptmann but
Isador Fisch was the guilty per.
son.

TAX DATA

Uncle Sam wants to know more
about the income tax liability of
his employees and in the future
department heads will be required
to give their side of the story.
This action was taken in a regu.
lation released today by Guy T.
Helvering. commissioner of inter
nal revenue, removing a previous
distinction between Government
employees and those working for
private business.
In the past. companies have had
to supply information about en-
ployeS earning more than $1,000
annually. Government employees
were exempt from such checking.
Department heads in Govern
ment bureaus and finance officers
in the Army and Navy are called
upon in the regulation to furnish
the income tax data.

MINNESOTA SETS NATIONAL
RECORD IN ROAD WORK

The Minnesota Highway depart
ment is leading the United States
in amount of road construction
completed with federal grant funds
made available last year, according
to tabulation completed by the U.
S. Bureau of Public Roads. Receipt
of the tabulation was announced by
N. w. Elsberg, state highway COM
missioner.
These figures show construction
progress in every state in the I'm
ion as of March /. Although Mime
sofas allotment of federal road
funds last year was less than half
that of some other states, the
amount of money put to work in
completed, federally approved pro-
jects at the time of the tabulation
was nearly three times greater
than the second ranking state.
AS one of the prime considera-
tions of the government in making
the grants was to get work under
way as quickly as possible, the re-
