tion to another angle in the

JURORS ARGUE
OVER CASE
International News Service

International News Service
FLEMINGTON, N. j., Jan. 80.
The four women and eight men
of the jury who will decide the
fate of Bruno Richard Haupt.
mann are arguing about the
battling phases of the Lindbergh
murder mystery as vehemently as
do any of the court room fans or
the news writer's here to cover the
trial.
Once in the privacy of their
quarters on the third floor of the
Union Hotel, across Main Street
from the courthouse, the mild.
hammered jurors become highly
contentious in their interpreta.
tions of the case.
Loud voices can be heard
through the transoms over their
room doors and through the tenn.
porary partition in the corridor,
which divides off the wing of the
hotel in which the jurors are liv.
ing. The names Reilly" "Wil-
entz," "Lindbergh" and Condor"
have been heard. Deputies, sta
toned outside the partition in the
hallway, keep the curious away,
and when the jurors get too noisy,
go inside and ask them to drop
their voices.
Still ODen.Minded
This argumentative disposition
on the part of the jury, indicating
it is still open-minded in the case,
is perhaps partly responsible for
a shift in the betting odds on the
verdict.
Odds today were quoted around
the hotel, the towns only hostelry
and sort of unofficial headquar-
ters of the trial, at around 4 to /
on Hauptmann's conviction. On
Friday, the day Hauptmann'S
cross-examination, began, the odds
were nearer to l on conviction,
without recon- mendation for
leniency.
Center of Attention
The jury is beginning % be the
center of attention as the trial
draws near to a close. The State
has put in a powerful case against
Hauptmann. Hauptmann has Of
fered a stubborn defense, led by
his redoubtable chief counsel, Ed.
ward j. Reilly. 1t is the general
opinion the jury will have tough
one to >,ecide.
All of the jurors, except Mrs.
Verna Snyder and the youngest.
Robert Cravatt, 30, are parents.
All are persons of modest means,
farmers, tradesmen. housewives or
sales people. Two, Charles F. Sny-
der and Howard v. BiggS, have
served on juries before. The pret.
tiest of the women, Mrs. Ethel
Stockton. is secretary to a former
county prosecutor.

Second Letter

Q.-Do you recall the second
communication you received from
Isador? Was it a letter or was it
card? Alt was a card, the
second at then I guess there was
another card before the first
letter.
Q.-I show you a card which is
produced by the attorney general
and ask you whether or not that
lis in the handwriting of Isador
Fisch? A.-Oh, that is Fisch's
handwriting.
Q.-Was that card received by
you? Ayes, it was.
Q.-About when? A.-Oh, I
can't remember that.
Dwell, the stamp appears to
be Leipzig and the goth or the
21st of January, doesn't it?
A.-No, that means 9th of Janu-
Rry, 1884. I figure probably re-
ceived this postal card around
10 days later.
Mr.. Reilly: I offer it in evil
dence. (The post card was re-
ceived in evidence0
Q.-Now, will you translate this
German for us into English?
Al received your card. Am
very glad you got a nice Christ
mas time. I read about the
weather in New York. The cold
in Germany is not so strong any
more. In next time I write you
o letter. Best regards to Annie
and Baby. Isador."
Q.-Now the next communica"
tion, was it a card or a letter?
Att was a letter.
Q.-Do you remember what he
wrote? Ale wrote about his
case he had laying over here, and
he said in this letter.
Mr.. Wilentz: I object to his
mere statement that there was a
letter as being a basis for an
excuse for present testimony.
Mr.. Reilly: I think we have
established that the letters were
received. They were in his house.
He doesn't know what happened
to them. They have disappeared,
either through something he did
or something that somebody did
when they arrested him.
Mr.. WilentZ: It seems to me tc
be an improper way of trying tc
take from the lips of a dead man
statements that Your Honor car
very readily see are impossible tt
answer. He will now attempt tt
reveal something without any
possibility on the part of the
State to meet it.

WORTH MONEY
TO KNOW THIS
information Offered by Forest
Service on Marketing of
Wood Products.

Lack Of familiarity with the methods
Of estimating and selling timber often
puts the farm woodland owner at q
disadvantage, causing him to sell his
forest product at considerably less than
its real value, according TO the Forest
Service, q. S. Department Of Agricul-
ture.
Generally speaking. says the Forest
Service, it IS better for the farmer to
do his own cutting and selection Of
trees for logs, poles, ties, bolts, posts,
mine timb-s, billets, pulpwood, and
even cordwood, because he can take
care 70 avoid damage to thrifty young
growing stock and leave his woodlands
IN better condition to grow another
timber crop. In any case, he should
make q careful estimate Of the amount
and quality Of his standing timber
He should also where possible, sell by
sizes and grades, and have them speci-
fed in the contract, TO get the maximum
cash returns.
If the farmer cannot estimate the
amount and value Of his timber he can
usually find capable estimsto-s to do
the work before he offers his timber for
sale. The Forest Service reminds the
Woodlot owner that il is better TO sell
his best grades Of timber and use less
valuable material for rough construction
or repairs about the farm
Sometimes when the farmer has only
a few valuable logs, he viii DO well to
combine with his neighbors and ship
them comparatively. The small Sawmin
man. by good business management, and
watching opportunity, may help both
himself and the farmer.
Unlike other crops, the timber crop
keeps best in the tree. If the market
Is not right. the cutting can wait, and
the timber stand may improve with age.
Once cut, il may deterioriate, unless
marketed promptly. II is better TO find
a market before cutting. BY cutting his
own timber crop, the farmer gainfully
employs his labor and team or truck.
But he IS q producer, not q manufac-
turer, and the Forest Service is not ad-
yising farmers to go into the Sawmin
business.
To asst the farmer 70 get the best
eturns from his wooded acres, the De-
partment of Agriculture offers the in
Quirer information without cost on
measuring and preparing timber pro-
ducts for market This information, in
a booklet prepared by the Forest Ser
vice, tells how 10 prepare dozen major
products. how TO make and use meaSur-
ing sticks. how to grade, stack, and
protect the prepared timber, and how 70
reach the best markets. Besides other
helpful suggestions on selection and
volume measurement, il also contains
copies of standard specifications and
contracts.

Batting The Steel Trust
{ By z. w. Hitchcock }

made in the Legislature and on the
stump. There is not scintilla Of truth
IN il.
Many years ago State Auditor Dunn
made such a statement An exhaustive
Legislative investigation followed which
completely disproved the statement.
The canard usually concerns the
Mountain Iron mine and II Is often
charged that Minnesota lost sl2,00o,0oo
IN the rape of this property. Minnesota,
however. never had title TO the Noun
tain Iron mine as Dr. William Watts
Folweu conclusively shows in his His
tory Of Minnesota.
The Mountain Iron mine was once in
cluded in a list of federal lands which
Minnesota proposed to select as school
lands The list was merely tentative
and the selection was never made.
The changes made in the lists before
final selection was made actually pro-
fitted the state many millions. After the
selections were made Minnesota did
trade a valuable agricultural tract in
southern Minnesota for a section Of
worthless cutover lands in northern
Minnesota Iron ore was later found on
this worthless" tract which has al
ready yielded the state many millions
and viii in the end profit it by more
than $4,000. 600.
/ Il would put a great deal Of money
into the pockets Of the people of the
state and into the state treasury If the
steel trust" and other iron mining OPP
orators could find the wicked steel
business more profitable.
i The iron ore outlook is not encourag-
ing. So low has mining activity in
Minnesota fallen that the range town:
are filled with people who cannot find
employment Moreover, the prospect
for iron ore mining is not even good
i with the return Of good times. Not only
IS mining done principally with ma
chinery, but scrap has squarely cut II
two the demand for Minnesota iron ore
It may be granted that an increase
in the iron ore occupation and royalty
taxes viii not hurt the mines much, but
neither viii it yield the state treasury
much When ore IS not shipped there
IS no occupation or royalty tax.
i The conservation of Minnesota's min
leral resources is IN a great measure due
TO one man. To the knowledge anc
ability, the extraordinary zeal and ths
uncompromising integrity Of 2. A
Wildes, for many years head Of The
state mineral lands division, is due
many Of the millions that Minnesots
has made from its iron ore resources.
