The Shilluks of the White Nile are

The women average six feet in height
and many of the men are nearer seven.
They are beautifully formed and it is

PLEA FOR a new trial for

planned. But Isador Fisch was
dead in Germany, died in poverty
in 1888, and could not answer. But
the State, in the long trial to
follow, proved to the jury's salts
faction that ISador FiSch had
nothing to do with the case, or,
at least, was not the only one in
volved.
In this search Of the house an.
other piece Of evidence was un.
earthed that had much to do with
the jury returning its verdict of
guilty" and subsequent imposi.
tion Of the penalty at death. In
a closet in the house, near the
telephone, was found scrawled-in
Hauptmann's handwriting, accord
ing to the State, the telephone
number f "Jafsie." And on a
closet door in the little home in
the Bronx were found scrawled
the numbers of some of the ran
som bills.
Science Aid Invoked
To the aid OF the State in pre-
senting it's case against Haupt-
mann came modern science, to
give some Of the most powerful
testimony. The portable ladder,
made in sections, which the State
contended was used by Haupt-
mann in reaching the bedroom of
the sleeping baby, was one Of the
most important links against the
carpenter.
The State summoned Arthur
Koehler. of Madison, Wis, expert
on lumber and wood technologist
of the United States Department
of Agriculture. He gave testimony
to show conclusively that Haupt-
mann had built the ladder, de-
spite the defense claims that no
skilled carpenter could be guilty
Of constructing such a poorly
made thing.
But before the judge and jury,
Mr.. Koehler showed enlarged
photographs Of the rungs Of the
ladder-rungs which showed the
mark of a nicked plane. Besides
these he placed the photographs
of other pieces of wood which he
had planed, and again the tell
tale mark of the plane showed
clearly. The plane, he testified,
was the one taken by the police
from the Hauptmann garage.
Mr.. Koehler said:
Everywhere the plane was
pushed along the surface of a
board, it left its signature In
the form of those ridges"
Even more damaging evidence
was presented by Mr.. Koehler. A
piece of board had been cut out
Of the attic floor of the Haupt-
mann home, and this board, he
pointed out, was used to make one
Of the rungs of the ladder. Again
by photographs he showed how
the grain Of the wood in the attic
and in the rung coincided.
Science gave further aid to the
State in the matter of handwrit-
ing, experts declaring there was
no question but what the accused
man wrote the ransom notes.
First the handwriting of the
notes was compared with Haupt'

Cassidy, Of Richmond, Va, an
other noted criminologist, who
also stated positively that Haupt-
mann was the author Of the kid
nap notes.
But perhaps the turning point
Of the trial came after "JafSie"
had positively identified Haupt-
mann as the John" to whom he
turned over the money on the
promise the baby was safe and
would be returned.
Then Colonel Lindbergh himself
took the stand and testified that
the voice of the man he heard
talking to DR.. Condor on the
other side Of the cemetery wall
when the money was passed was
Hauptmann's.
After the arrest Of Hauptmann
It was agreed that he would be
turned over to New Jersey authori-
ties to stand trial for kidnapping
and murder, rather than for extor-
ton in New York. Extradition
papers were made out and in Oc-
tober he was taken to New Jersey.
On January 2 the famous trial
opened in Pennington, before JUS

of the New Jersey Bench. After

and on the night of February 13
brought in the verdict OF guilty"
and set the sentence as death.
Within the next few days the
sentence was read in court, and
Hauptmann was taken for what
was perhaps his last automobile
ride, to the State prison, where he
was placed in the death cell-the
cell he now occupies and in which
he will remain until he is granted
a new trial by the United States
Supreme Court, or is refused and
leaves his cell to walk ''the last

DOCTORS SPLIT
ON VALUE OF
BLOOD TEST
KessIer Parentage Case
In D. 6. Court Bares
Divergent Views

Washington medical authorities
today differed sharply over the
value Of blood tests to determine
the paternity of a child as law
yers prepared to get together and
select a doctor to give such a
test for the first time in legal
history in the District.
The test was ordered yesterday
in District Supreme Court by Jus
tice Jesse c. Adkins to determine
if James B. Kessler, jr., RuraI
Resettlement Administration EN-
ploye. is the father of 10-monthS
old James B. Kessler III.
Mrs. Lois KesSler, the mother
who is a hostess in a Connecticut
Avenue cafe, insists he is the
father, but admits that he has
denied the parentage. She is
seeking a divorce and alimony.
Accepted in Germany
The blood test cannot be de
pended upon to prove paternity
in the opinion of DR.. Mario Mol
lari, professor of preventive medi
cine of Georgetown M e die a
School. He explained:
MANY medical men believe in
the test, and in Germany it is
accepted in courts. But in my
opinion such a test is not con-
elusive.
"There are inherent difficult
ties in ascertaininG that the
blood Of the child is the same
as that Of the father. even
though they fall in the same cIas-
sificatiOn. Such a test cannot
be dependable"
DR.. Earl B. Mckinley, dean O.
the George Washington Medica
School, feels that such a test car
be practically certain" He said:
eve know that blood falls
into certain groupings along a
definitely known medical law.
If the blood of the child bitches
up with that of the parent, the
fact is significant. II the two
specimens fall properly into the
same grouping we cannot diSre-
gard the fact, but must assume
the parentage."
DR.. ChOSSier's Views
DR.. Roger Chossier, head Of tn,
meteorological department of tn
George Washington Medica
School, agrees with Dean Nc
Kinley, pointing out that New
York already has accepted blooc
tests as legal and that man!
other States are considering such
action.
Differing from this view, DR.

pointed out that tests have showr

SPEEDY RULING
EXPECTED ON
HIS APPEAL
Tribunal Usually Turns
Thumbs Down on
Criminal Pleas

Speedy action by the Supreme
Court was certain today as coun-
sci for Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann prepared a new appeal
from his conviction in the
famous Lindbergh baby kidnap-
ing case. The death sentence
was upheld yesterday by New
Jerseys highest court.
Following a rule laid down
when William Howard Taft was
Chief Justice, the Supreme Court
gives criminal cases precedence
over all others.
Thus, even though Haupt-
mann's attorneys take the entire
90 days allowed in which to file
a petition, it is possible that the
court may act before February /.
Scant Hope Held

his case merits review, 1t Will pc
set for argument and q final de-
cision might not come before
May.
Lawyers who have closely fol
9owed the case and who are ia
nniliar with Supreme Court de-
cisions see Scant hope for Haupt
mann. To win the aid OF the
high court, his lawyers must show
that constitutional right OF fa1r
trial by jury was flouted by the
state of New Jersey.
Usually Thumbs Down
Many famous criminal cases
have reached the highest tribunal
here in the last 10 years but few
have gone beyond the preliminary
stage.
The most recent notable case
was that of the Millen brothers
and Abraham Faber, convicted In
Massachusetts, of the murder OF a
police officer during a bank rob
berry in which the high court re-
fused to interfere.

been on the lookout for the $5O,-

John F. "Jafsie" Condor, aged
educator who acted as lnterme-

The numbers Of the ransom ollls
were sent to every bank, were

himself who gave the show away.
