To add to the destitute mothers
grief is the knowledge that her young

ago, with fever Of 105 degrees" The
baby girls condition was said to be
unchanged today. 1t is feared she

fathers statement.
Il was with Mary and Dicky." she

DEFENSE PLEA OF
HAUPTMANN Is in

Trenton, N. j., July 5-OP)-
Anne Morrow Lindbergh herself
refuted one of the states theories
as to the manner in which her
child was kidnapped and killed,
Burno Richard Hauptmann's coun-
sci set forth today in supple
mentary defense brief. The brief.
flied with Assistant Attorney Gem
eral Joseph A. Lanigan, supported
the defense charges that Attorney
General David T. Wilentz changed
the states theory of the method by
which Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr.,
was kidnapped" in his closing ad-
dress to the Pennington jury.
1t pointed out that Wilentz told
the jury the child was choked or
beaten into insensibility in his
crib before the kidnaper descended
tibet ladder. Previously, Wilentz
had argued that the baby was in
jured and died from the effects of
a fall from the kidnap ladder.
"The evidence of Anne Lind
bergh," the brief said, was that
nothing in the room was disturbed.
The safety pin still held the COW
ers of the mattress. This would in
dictate that the child had been
lifted carefully from the crib by
friendly hands. as there were no
tloodstains or evidence of haste
anywhere. Thus, one of the states
theories is refuted by Anne Lind
bergh, its most reliable witness"

Warrant Inquiry

Close Of the investigation of the
fire which followed a reported ex-
plosion in the rear of 81 Vine
street Wednesday night was an
nounced today by Marshal Den
Lahey, the fire marshal reports
that the minor nature of the blaze
does not warrant any further
probe.
The Marshal said "In this
Vine street fire, the only. damage
done was to the rear veranda of
the house, and not much at that.
But the evidence of some Of the
neighbors was to the effect that
there had been some kind Of an
explosion, and plus that some of
our firemen detected the odor of
OIL"
However, in our investigation,
we have been unable to secure any
information or evidence other than
an ordinary fire in a pile of rub
bish and part of the debris from a
demolished elm tree. The fire,
you know, occurred in the outside
on the eve of the Fourth Of July.
The damage was SO slight we shall
not continue the investigation
