STATE is DOING WELL
WITH BOND BUSINESS

Raleigh, January 31.-Business in
bonds is getting better and better
for the. state, Treasurer Charles M.
johnson averred today.
He has just sold $645,0O0 in North
Carolina bonds held in the state sink
ing fund for $685., La, representing a
net profit of s$8,114 above principal
and interest.
The bonds will mature July /, 1885,
and January /, 1886, anis at those
times will be payable only at par by
the state.
Since Treasurer gohnson got the
interest the bonds will draw before
they mature, he figures it was good
days business for the state.
He will reinvest the money at
once, and ANYBODY knows you can
buy more bonds for 1858, ia than
you can for $645, 0OO,' he declared.

ing the ruling Of the Supreme Court
on the gold clause in the United
States bonds IN regard to payment in
gold.
The courts ruling will determine
whether Ocongress had constitutional
authority to inyalidate the gold pay
ment promises Of some 500 900 ,O0O,-
600 in public and private bonds.
An adverse decision would make
them worth 100000 100000 in the
present devalued currency.
The constitution says contracts. are
sacred. If the Supreme Court lets
congress and the New Deal wipe that
out of the constitution it might wipe
out any part.
If, on the other hand, the court
says, mo matter what anybody says,
debtors must pay in gold,' there will
be smash long remembered. Bar
ring some ingenius step like declar-
ing a morateritnf ON gold payments
for twenty years, or packing the
Supreme Court, by adding enough
judges to make the constitution read
as the New Deal wants it to read,
serious trouble would follow a deci-
sion UNFOLDING gold payments. Presi-
dent Roosevelt would not pack the
Supreme Court to carry out one of
his own ideas. The moratorium seems
the simplest way out.

Haupmann Is Confident
That He Will Win Case


The Hauptmann trial, riding swift
" now toward its climax, will sec
this week the supreme effort of Bruno
Richard Hauptmann's counsel to save
him from conviction for the Lind.
bergh baby murder.
The defense, with 80 witnesses on
call, hopes to present its evidence
within the next three days. Counsel
seek to provide that:
"a Hauptmann did not write the
ransom notes; (2) did not collect the
ransom money and (3) was not even
in New Jersey the night the baby
boy of the Charles A. Lindberghs. was
kidnapped and killed.
z When Peter Summer, defense ting-
erprint expert testified to having seen
a woman he believed to be Violet
Shape, now dead, and a man who
looked like Isador Fisch, also deceas-
ed, in Few York city with a blonde
baby sbo;.t two years ago. 4,
The inference was that the Sharpe
girl, a servant at the Englewood
home of the Lindbergh baby's grand
mother, Mrs. Dwight Morrow, and
Fiseh, who was Bruno Hauptmann's
partner in business, may have had
knowledge of the kidnapping.
Attorney General David T. Wilentz
intends OF subject Sommer to a Sc
we're cross-examination in an effort to
destroy his credibility and to thwart
further efforts of the defense to
throw the blame on Fisch and SER
wants in the Lindbergh or Morrow
households.
Chief Defense Counsel Edward
Reilly, spent the weekend question
ing witnesses in his Brooklyn office.
The states rebuttal witnesses IN
clude Pincus Fisch, brother of lsador,
and other relatives of Fisch, brought
from German to counteract the
defense move to blame Fisch for the
crime.
Inc u eXperts to call, Frau Hilda
Braunlich of Germany and c. F.
Goodspeed of New York, that the
state will attack their qualifications
in the hope that they will not be per-
mitted to- testify.
! In the record already is John M.
Trendley's testimony that, in his
opinion, Hauptmann did not write the
ransom notes.
The defense probably will call 9th
er alibi witnesses to destroy the story
of Mrs. Cecile Barr, theatre ticket
seller, who testified Hauptmann pass
ed her a ransom bill on the night of
November 26, 1888, at Loew's Sheri7
dan Square theatre, New York.
Hauptmann has testified that he
was at home that night because it
was his birthday and there was a
gathering of friends with him. The
salibi witnesses for this date are Mr..
and Mrs. Victor Schuessler, residents
of the same Brox house where Haupt-
man lived, and Henry Jung, a friend.
Hauptnann's attorneys have two
other points to make. These call for
production in court of the phonogrSph
record of Condon's imitation OF
Hauptmann's voice calling "hey, doc
tor" and the plaster cast of a foot
print taken from fresh grave in St.
Raymond's cemetery on the Monday
following the Saturday night when
the ransom was paid. ].
The cast and the record are in the

Virtuosity. McHugh manages to
sneak in one Of his amiable
