Pennington. N. J., Jan 11--(UP) In seven court days, New Jersey has presented practically half It's case--the most startling half-to the jury. Through succession of witnesses, 1t has taken a man 1t identifies as Bruno Richard HauDt- mann up the ladder and into the nursery window at the Lindbergh home. It has carried him, fleeing with "the bundle that was a dead child" away from the Lindbergh estate. Then 1t has placed him at a conference with Dr John F. Con- don at tho gates of the Woodlawn cemetery. and turned into his hands Colonel Nndbergh's $50,00O ransom money. The major witt nesses, and the stories they have told are:
 Anne Morrow Lindbergh--she told the story of the domestic scenes on the night of the kidnap- ing, testified to helping put her baby to bed, and described what happened after discovery of the ab- duction.
 Colonel Charles A. Nndbergh-- He corroborated Anne Morrow Lindbergh's story but extended t.. He told of his mission to St Ray mond's cemetery, where he turned over $B0,0O0 to Dr Condon, to be paid to the kidnaper, whose voice, he said, was the voice of Haupt- mann. And of the fruitless search of Vineyard sound waters for the boat he expected to find with his baby on 1t. Finally, of the discov- cry of the body of his son.

 "The child Is in gut carc."
 Don't Do afraid for the care or the baby"
 There is no worry about the baby he Is we'll and will be feed according to the diet"
 "Please tell Mrs Lindbergh note to worry. The baby is well. We only give him more food like the diet says"
 "Did you send them (the par- entg) that little package with the sleepingsuit. The baby is we'll"
 "There is absolute no fear about the child. It Is we'll"
 Whe nthese notes were written, the child was resting in q hastily scooped out grave only little way from the home in which he had been 50 happy.
 It seems incredible that heart could be 50 dark, a brain so twist cd, that over and over again the possessor of the secret about the tiny grave should cheer the victims of his crime with false hope that their baby would bo returned to them alive and well.
 Women in the court room wiped their eyes when the tragic lies, summed up by the expert, were read into the record.

SNOBBISH AMATEURS

DR. FRANCIS D. TYSON of the University
Of Pittsburgh tells the convention Of the
American Physical Education Association that
amateuriSm = sports is a piece Of snobbery
out OF place in democracy.
AmateuriSm. he says, is a hangover from
the British aristocratic tradition. When we
try to make fetish Of it We simply get con-
fused.
There is lot OF good sense in DR.. Tyson's
remark. At bottom, the only reason for max
ing a distinction between the pro and the
amateur is that one makes his living by a sport
while the other INDUCES in it in his spare
time, Just for fun: hence it is hardly fair to
contrast their abilities, since the pro is bound
TO be more skillful.
1t doesn't really go any farther than that.
The idea that man somehow lowers himself
by taking money for athletic activities is alb
srd. AS DR.. Tyson says. it is notion which
has no place In a democracy.

DOING THE JOB

CONSIDERING the difficulties which face
- him at every turn, Sheriff Otto Ray is
doing real job in handling the Marion County
jail and maintaining law and order in the
county.
Sheriff Ray has already established him
self as the operator Of a clean jail which has
not. since his term Of Office. been the scene
Of any disturbances. He has upheld the law
in the county with few deputies and little
equipment.
Since he became sheriff. Mr.. Ray has acted
promptly in any matter in which the public
has been interested and in which It appeared
that Jail routine might have been broken. This
was shown by his moves after Chuck Virgins
was found to have been out Of the Jail for
several hours while serving a term there.
Sheriff Ray IS 10 be complimented. It is
to be hoped that his type Of administration

broadcast; and it may seem a bit strange to
find such a movement joined by powers that
are feverishly building up their armies, navies,
and air fleets Nevertheless, join it they did,
and Miss Adams gave them this message:
We believe that we are not obliged to
choose between violence and passive accept
ance of unjust conditions; on the contrary,
that courage, determination, moral energy.
active good will can achieve their ends with
out violence"
This is a strange and welcome slogan for
a world relying more and more on instru-
ments of brute force 1t would sound too good
to be true, except for the fact that people like
Miss Adams have had the courage to build
their careers about it and to show that it can
work
Miss Adams has lived in Chicago, where
there is an almost infinite number of unjust
conditions" to contemplate; and she has
neither passively accepted them nor opposed
them with unthinking violence.
Or the contrary, she has gone quietly
ahead, for many years, to see what courage,
determination. moral energy, and active good
will" can do to help matters, and her work
has meant the difference between a good life
and black despair to heaven only knows how
many obscure people.
She has made that program work in the
Chicago slums; she sees no reason why it
could not work in world affairs as well.
The great nations of the earth have paid
her their tribute. is it too much to hope that
some day they will pay the greater tribute of
adopting some Of her ideas?

MORE ROOM FOR PLAY

IMPORTANCE Of Fairgrounds and other rec
reation centers in American cities is il
lustrated by the current report Of the National
Recreation Association.
This report shows that 100000 children
used public Fairgrounds regularly last sum-
mer, and that municipal recreation centers
for young people and adults were used by
more than 100000 people. Playground base
ball teams gave recreation to more than $780,
600 young men; playground tennis courts
served just less than 100000 people.
The thing to notice is that the facilities we
have are not nearly extensive enough. The
association reports that 100000 city chill
dren are still without Fairgrounds, and that
neighborhood playing fields are only about 80
per cent adequate.
While We are spending public funds on
-proht-making projects this great need of
Fairgrounds and recreation facilities must not
be overlooked.

A Modest Question or Two
An Editorial.

Maybe you can tell us, Mr.. Spencer?
We don't mean to be insistent, Mr. Prose-
cutor, but We notice that you remarked to both
The Times and the News:
I got Joel Baker into this mess"
What mess? Is the Barker case mess,
Mr.. Spencer? In what respects is It mess?
The Times merely printed the facts in con-
nectlon with this matter. We admit that we
thought they were unusual enough to be news
but never, never did We call the case "a mess"
You said that you were going to try to get
the Barker brothers a suspended sentence and,
when you did, you expected to collect the $3.50
Mrs Lee Barker had placed in escrow.
Did you know that under the Indiana law
the Marion County Criminal Court had no
power to suspend sentence after that sentence
had been affirmed in Supreme Court?
If this is a fact-and pardon our lack Of
acumen on legal questions-how could you
undertake to collect fee from a client for
something that you could not possibly deliver
under the law?
II ME News quoted you as saying that the
= $3.50 was to be paid to you if you were
successful in obtaining a pardon or other
legal moves which would keep the Bankers
from having to serve sentences"
What "other legal moves" Mr.. Spencer?
We are merely seeking enlightenment Naive
ly, perhaps, we thought that in view of the
action Of the Supreme Court the only legal
moves" that could be made were before the
Clemency Board and the Governor.
Did you ever advise the Bankers to sur
render. start their sentences and then seek
executive clemency?
Just what moves" did you make-you
say you were their counsel-in the direction
of the Clemency Board or the Governor,
who, as we understand it, had sole power
to intervene?
Now we come to rather a delicate ques-
ton and We hope you will not object to our
raising a matter of legal ethics We shouldn't
think of doing it were you not public serv-
ant and you can undoubtedly set us right in
a ji1y.
You were retained by the Bankers while
you were running for prosecutor. A promi-
nent physician held $3.50 in escrow from the
Bankers. This money was to be paid in the
event you kept them out of Jail. Although
you had not cleared the case you asked for
the money on Dec. 1O-after you had been
elected prosecutor.
We really do not understand al these fine
legal points, Mr.. Spencer. We don't believe a
lot of our readers do, either. We can't think of
any one better qualified to answer these ques-
tons than you.
Doubtless you can explain them all.
We wish you would
