Statement Corrected

E. A. Wilson, state FERA admin.
istrator, Saturday corrected . previou.
announcement emanating from hi,
office concerning employment Of nom
relief labor on relief projects.
A previous announcement that III
employees In county relief offices must
be relief cases was erroneous, Wilson
said, and was caused by q misinter-
probation In his organisation Of IN
order issued by him to county admin
fstrators.
Wilson explained the order directed
county relief administrators to employ
only relief labor on projects. EN-
ployes In the county offices them
selves are not affected.
One non-relief clerk may be en-
ployed on crop loan projects sponsored
by the farm credit administration,
Wilson said. On other relief pro-
jects. relief clerks only may b en-

Remington, N. j., Jan. 5.-(R-
Bruno Richard Hauptmann's prosecu-
ton and defense matched move for
move Saturday, calling witnesses in
secret sessions to reinforce their con-
tentions that he did-or did not-com-
NIT the Lindbergh murder.
Both legal Stats withdrew from
Remington for the weekend recess
In Hauptman's trial for life, the prose-
cution to Trenton and the defense to
New York City, to match wits In q
game centering on the Lindbergh ran
som.
The state summoned several fed
eral agents, the crack operatives who
tracked down the Lindbergh ransom
money and who will be major Witness
es, for examination.
Reilly Lays Defense Plans
Attorney Edward J. Reilly, chief Of
defense, said II am calling confer
ence Of my handwriting experts in
my office in Brooklyn. We are going
to prepare our case with regard to the
ransom notes"
The defense also shaped its plans
around the announced intention to
bring two witnesses into court to
testify that DR.. John +. Condor, "Jaf-
sic" Of the ransom negotiations, was
in the vicinity Of the Lindbergh home
at Hopewell. N. j., on the day the baby
was stolen from IT, crib.x ts.-.ae
Reilly Friday asked Mrs. Elsie
Whateley, widow Of the Lindbergh
butler, this question:
Didn't your husband and you know
DR.. Condor in 1891 In New Rochelle?"
Mrs. Whateley answered emphatic
ally mo. we did not"
Reilly said, at the close Of court, his
question was q "hint as to what the
future holds"
The defense has asserted the kid
mapping was done, not by Hauptmann.
but by five distinct persons" and that
the crime was planned in the Lind
bergh home unknown to the family.
Eager to Question Nurse
Reilly said he was eager to question
Betty Cow, nurse Of the slain infant,
who will take the stand In Remington
Monday.
Shell tell the truth, I'm sure" he
said, "and explain great number Of
things"
Reilly indicated the defense also
would have lot to say about Violet
Sharpe, maid in the Morrow home at
Englewood, N. j., who committed sui
eide after being questioned by author
titles in connection with the kidnapping.
The defense counsel inferred that he
considers important the long discard
ed clues attached to members Of the
Lindbergh household in the early
stages Of the kidnap investigation.
1T Is obviously odd" he said. that
the mysterious Violet Sharpe COM
mtts suicide: that Whateley gets q
