Tells of AUTOPSY

DR.. Mitchell said the Attorney
General has his report on the
Lindbergh baby autopsy he per-
formed in the Trenton niorgue.
Odd you examine the heart
of the child? A.-The heart was
in such a condition that it couldn't t
be examined.
Q.-The lung? A.-There was
no lung.
Q.-The stomach. A.-There
was no stomach.
Q.-The kidney. A.-There
was none.
Q-Your examination was per
functory. A.-No. I'd say it
was good one.
Colonel Lndbergh sat immobile
during the testimony about his
baby, his face slightly flushed.
Hauptmann, pale and impas-
sive, seemed interested. He
quietly eyed the witness, his poker
face in no way betrayinS his
feelings.
Q.-How long did it take you
to determine the cause Of death?
A.-First 1 made an external ex-
animation, then I attempted to
open the skull and found this
fracture. There was no laceratiOn
of the scalp over the fracture.
The brain substance itself was
just past doing anything to it.
A thick soup, I should say.
There was a section of the skull
about 21a inches in diameter
radiating from the center Of the
fracture. On the opposite side Of
the head there was q hole.
Mr.. Reilly went after Dr..
Mitchell vigorously.
Odd you ever see that child
alive? A.-No.
Q.-You didn't know but what
the child was suffering from q
cold or bad chest condition? A
I opened
@. Qnterrupting) Answer my
question-Did you? A. (Shouting)
You let me answer the ques.
ton! I opened up the chest and
throat and cound find no evi.
dence of q bad cold condition.

Coroner On Stand

Coroner walter H. Swayze, who
certified the death of the Lind
bergh baby, was the next witness.
He said he lives in Trenton.
He is a dark-complexioned,
young looking man. He was ques-
toned by Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Peacock.
The coroner said he received a
call on May II, 1882, to go to
Mount Rose Road. When he ar.
rived he went into the woods.
Mr.. Swayze said:
There was the body Of q
child, which looked like q
yOungster about two years, head
towards the woods.
II placed it in a removal
grip and took it to the Tren-
ton mOrgue."
The coroner told of Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh coming to the
morgue and identifying the body.
He said:
"The next day COIOne Lind
bergh came to the monGue and
identified the body as that Of
his child"
Defense Attorney Fisher OBJ
jected, saying he wanted to know
how Lindbergh identified it and
what he said.
Mr.. Peacock said:
Colonel Lindbergh has testi-
fled that he identified the
body"
Mr.. Fisher was overruled.

WHEN STOMACH
PAINS and GAS
BOTHER YOU

You'll agree that taking doses If
all sorts of stomach relievers or
times a day is a real nuisance.
So for indigestion, gas pains and
stomach and bowel acidity just do
this:
In your morning cup Of coffee or
tea take as much kruschen Salts as
will lie on a dime-it's tasteless that
way. Do this every morning but
don't stop when stomach distress is

FLEMINGTON, N. j.. Jan. II
GN.S0.-Attorney General David
T. Wilentz today revealed he is
prepared to supply a final and
surprising link to the literary
chain with which the State of
New Jersey hopes to lead Bruno
Richard Hauptmann to the elec-
trio chair for the murder Of
Baby Lindbergh.
It is nothing more than die
tionary. But it is German.
English dictionary and it was
found in Hauptmann's house in
the Bonx, N. j., and in it certain
ighly-Significant words under
scored with pencil marks. Mr..
Wilentz said:
I've are all prepared to show
something that even the hard
working handwriting experts
who testified for the State did
not know. That is, that Bruno
Richard Hauptmann was a die
tiOnary addict"
SEkESSED POINT
The evidence is highly signifi-
cant in view of the testimony Of
the eight nationally known ex-
perts on questioned documents
who have testified that Haupt-

som notes, including the one
found in the baby's nursery on
the night of March /, 1892.
All of the experts showed that
simple words were misspeIled-
mote" for mot" "ouer" for "our, "
"boad" for boat" "bee" for "be"
and "the" for they" for exam
pie, while more difficult words
such as accordingly" and "haz-
ardous," were spelled correctly in
both the Hauptmann writing spe.
cimens and in all the ransom
notes.
The handwriting experts were
unable to explain this situation
and Hauptmanr's lawyers made
the most of their bewilderment,
shouting, in cross-examination

Allen was questioned as to the
grave N which he found the
baby'S body.
Odd it indicate to you 1t

Q.-You know people hunt with
dogs in that territory? Ayes,
but I didn't have any dog.

Replies Sharply

Mr.. Reilly'S sharp questioning
drew equally sharp answers from
DR.. Mitchell.
Q.-There was no prisoner ar.
rested at the time you performed
the autopsy. Suppose you had
died before there was an arrest in
this case. How would the blood
clot have been described then?
Al don't know.
Q.-What does the law provide
about the recording of evidence
in such q case? Al don't know.
CT d erin g)-Do you
mean to say you don't know the
law on these things and yet you
testify in homicide cases? Al
don't know the law on that point.
Mr.. Reilly said:
That's ALL"
Stuart w. Cragin, of Bedford
Village, N. Y, the next witness,
testified he was an employe of
j. P. Morgan and Company. I'm
der the questioning of Prosecutor
Anthony M. Hauck, of Hunterdon
county, he described how he had
helped make up the $4,000 Lind,
bergh ransom money and an ad,
ditional package of $4,000 in
March, 1882.
Mr.. Cragin said the money was
taken from the bank to the home
Of Francis D. Barlow, a Morgan
partner, who lives at 81 East Sixty
sixth St., New York city.
He said the $4,000 was locked
in a closet Of Mr.. Bartow's bed
room.
Mr.. Cragin said that on Satur
day morning, April 2, 1892, he
again went to the Barlow home
The money was taken out and
counted. They (bank employes)
saw that the proper denomina
tiOnS were there and it was left
In Mr.. BArtow'S home.
The witness was not crosS-ex
Amlned.

Quizzed by Fisher

Under cross-examination by
Mr.. Fisher, Mr.. Walsh said the
depression was between 22 and
3 feet long.
Q.-Isn't it possible that the
body was laid on the ground and,
through nature, gradually worked
down? Ayes, that's possible.
Q.-How long was the time be-
tween the kidnapping and the
time the body was found? A

was open in places.
Q.-Whose land was it on?
Al don't know, a hospital or

children that amt got any

Q.-You didn't disturb the
body? Just got back on your

The death certificate, certify
ing the cause Of death, was placed
in evidence while Mr.. Swayze was
on the stand.
DIR. Mitchell followed Coroner
Swayze. After DR.. Mitchell had
completed his direct examination.
he was cross-examined by Edward
j. Reilly, chief defense counsel.

BUSINESS IN GOVERNMENT

If just the ordinary rules of sound business were
applied to government-rules such as are applied
by successful merchant manufacturer or other
business mantle actual savings in governmental
operations would be simply astounding.
But with the governmental system what it is,
intrenched in the hands of politicians who are con-
stantly on the lookout for the welfare of relatives
and political henchmen, there isn't chance for
economies or the practice of good and sound bust
ness principles,
And what is the difference to those at the head
of things? They don't have to pay the bills; they
only have to look out for their pets and friends
and see to it that there are more and more and
more nice, soft berths to be handed out as other
relatives and henchmen come along needing places
in which to settle.
But the day is fast coming when there must be a
change Business is already being taxed almost to
the limit. 1t is not so far ahead that business can
be taxed out of existence and then privately owned
and operated business will be obsolete and every
thing will be in the hands of the government with
all consumers and no producers.-Yorkville En-
qurer.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION nj
NrW DEAL PRopAGANpA

1t is significant that Democratic member from
the Old Dominion warned those at the meeting Oh
the American Newspaper Publishers Association in
New York of the menace of governmental propa-
eanda. John Stewart Bryan, publisher of the Rich
mond. News Leader, called attention to the fact
that SO departments and governmental SUBDIVISIONS
have installed press agents to send out propagana%.
1t is no secret in the newspaper field that the new
dealers long ago had enlisted the support OF a
small army of writers and takers to "selP' the
ADMINISTRATORS program to the public
Mr.. Bryan explained that "the Department OF
Agriculture used to issue purely factual bulletins,
and they are not propaganda bulletins, and they
are aimed to create special state of mind" That
is serious charge to make against governmental
agency financed by the taxpayers. 1t means that
the people are not only supporting the agencies
under Secretary Waaces supervision, but are
paying the cost of press agents hired to create
state of mind in which he would have the public.
In connection with Mr.. Bryan's warning, it would
be interesting to know what impression has been
made by a recent court decision that the new deal
bureaus have no right to expend funds for press
agents That, of course, does not apply to the De-
partment of Agriculture, which is not relief or
emergency agency to which have been granted
funds for specified purposes. That ban should APP
ply to all governmental agencies The people have
a right to know the truth, as might be set out IN
factual bulletins, and should be permitted to draw
their own conclusions to the Importance OF WHAT
is done with their money.-Muncie Qnd.) Star

OUR BOB WOULD
quirer.

Senator Robert Rice Reynods-who isn't doing
much at Washington enthusiastically agrees TO
take over the investigation of the government of
the Virgin Islands and also to look into report
that employees of the Panama Canal are for the
most part non-Americans. The assignment takes
him away from the national capital at time most
statesmen would prefer to stick around but it must
be remembered that Our Bob likes to travel, he will
be allowed expenses and with his colleagues re-
naming at home, he will be the big shot. Other
items: Senator Reynolds is not candidate in 1885,
but is now and in 1888 will probably be closer to
Huey Long than to the administration at Washing
ton.
A pair of Investigators are going down ahead of
him; he can carry along a committee clerk and a
good stenographer to report any hearings.
Moreover the Senate isn't apt to do anything
about the government of the Virgin Islands, and
Bob knows it.-Greensboro News.

WHY THE ADVERTISEMENT OF LOTTERIES?

Why is it that almost nightly the radio audience
is treated to spies inviting the purchase of lottery
tickets in certain foreign country, although the
advertisement Of lotteries through the U. S. mails
is forbidden under heavy criminal penalties? The
radio is distinctly an interstate affair 1t is just
as immoral to propagate gambling by advertising
lottery tickets over the radio as on printe6 paper.
Nothing would seem easier than for congress TO
include the radio advertising of lotteries in its

tice of gambling among the mass of the American

GREAT BRITAIN was the first
" country to issue and use pre-.
paid postage stamps, yet it,wasn't
until "a years after the first issue
that any of its stamps revealed
the country of their origin.
From 1910 to 1924, British
stamps were identified only by the
busts of the empires rulers. Then.
In 1924, Great Britain issued Q
set in two values in connection
with the British Empire Exhibi.

But notice that no British
stamp yet has identified it's coun.
try as directly as do the issues OF
other countries. Only Ireland, the
qominions, and dependencies
nave their names on their stamps,
