 Of Sam Streppone, who said B'iSch tried to leave a package pre- siimably contairing ran"om monVy in his place of business before 1rlsch left for Europe in 1883, he will ask, "is it possible that the word of a man who was confined five or eight times in an insane Ills stitution,' can be relied uponw
 He will take apart the defense witnesses one by one. Upon the forcefulness of his oratory, rathcr than upon the technical, delicate questions of law involved in the case of the century, may be deter. mined the fate of Hauptmann.

 Wilentx must answer these points made by Reilly:
 1. The exact manner of death of the infant is not known, but only surmised by the state. No per son saw the death.
 2. The exact manner of the kid naplng is unknown, but it would be equally possible for an insider t. member of the Lindbergh house. hold, to have signallcd U watcher tnd even to have carried the sleep. ing Tor doped" child out of the house by the front door.
 3. The identiiications of Haupt- mann as the man seen with q lad der near the Hopewell estate were not only vague and inconclusive, but were offset by other identifica- tions by the defense. placing the defendant in the Bronx on the night of March 1. 1882.
 4. The defense theory that ar ''inslde gang" composed of Violet Sharpe, butler Oliver Whateley and Isidor Fisch (now all dead in Ire. tr,bution for their sins"), and aid ed possibly by Betty Cow and othei "unfaithfui servants" committed the kidnaping and murder wus borne out by persons who saw Violet Sharpe under suspicious cir. cumstances on the night of the Kidnapping.

 and Mrs Waterbury won't have to say "Will you be my Valentine ?" on Thursday, because when he is offered in the purchase of valuable bargains over the counters of CO., operating stores here, the results of his exchange will prove that he certainly is sweet Valentine.
 The stores will be open from 9 In the morning until 6 in the evening on Dollar Day. The merchants be- iieve there will Do sufficient time in those hours for everyone to take advantage of the wonderful buys being offered. There Is one request the merchants make, however, and that is. that the shoppers do their buying before the last minute rush, Just before closing time. The ner- chants appreciate the fact that no. body wants q worm, but just the same it's the good old early bird that catches the bargains.
 First Ofrcr This Year
 This will be the first bIg offering of the merchants to the buying public In the new year. The bust. ness men know from results in the past that the shoppers here will cooperate In events or this Kind, 1T worthwhile goods and bargains are offered. So, on Dollar Day, tho public of the city will not be dis appointed when they come to town to observe Dollar Day on Thursday.
 1t is turnover, that the business men want and if they have to sac- rifice here and there in order to rid their shelves of stock. they do 1t with the belief that at least they arc creating business. Profit mak. ing is not the big goal of the iner- chants on Dollar Day and when the shopper goes to the stores on Thursday. that fact will be dem onstrated.
 So. Mr and Mrs Waterbury. let's join in the big parade of shoppers expected to line the streets of the business district on Thursday. And here's a little reminder---the iier- chants like to receive Valentines as well as any one else. The dollar you spend will be sweet valeD. tine to them and the bargain you get In exchange will be just as sweet a Valentine for you.

Colin took long sip of his cocktail. Any

narrow black eyes. He set down the glass.
The moment when he might have betrayed

and exceedingly exclusive Hobgoblin Club
leaned slightly over and addressed him.
You can have your glass filled again, he
said land then again, but the man for whom
YOU are looking will not come. You waste

Colin scrutinized his neighbor curiously.
That bad news, he remarked How do

we're insignificant. His face was intelligent
To Judge from the slight movement at the
corners of his sensitive mouth he was smiling
inwardly He had not the air of man who
was conscious of taking liberty.
We'll l might reply that it was pretty

without seeming to watch it. Every time it is
opened, | can trace the reaction in your

Colin attracted the attention of the barman
and touched his glass.
The stranger leaned a trif1e nearer to Colin.
Get out of here, you IDIOT" he advised IF
he comes, there will be hell to pay when he
and Belle meet How would that little rencontre
suit you, wonder?"
Collins expression was one of bland bewil-

Don't be ridiculous" the other enjoined.
II know who you are and | tell you you are
fool to be in this place at all. Have you noticed
how empty the dancing rooms are?'
There don't seem to be so many people as
usual" Colin admitted Il can't say am
surprised at that There are several other
amusements to be met with in this place.
What l should like to know is for whom
are you mistaking me3"
The man by his side slipped from his stool
and strolled few feet away to point of
vantage from which he obtained better view
of the dancing room beyond. For moment
he watched the couples swaying around and
moved his head in time to the music. Several
friends of yours, at any rate. don't seem to
have been scared away yet" he remarked.
II wonder who you think am or what you
know of my friends" Colin reflected.
The man in the rather crumpled dinner suit
smiled. He mounted his stool again and whis

 Came November and John Henry Lewis, negro lightheavy from Phoe- nix. came east looking for some oody with a nameq to be No. 39 ca his list. Again they got Brad lock, who'd lost to Lewis in San Francisco in '32.

Eligibles included Car nera, Steve Hamas King Levinsky, Art Lasky, Ray Impellitierre, Max i Scfmeling.
 But Levinsky got fresh with Baer 1 in an exhibition bout and the Champion kayoed the Kingfish-so he was out. Hamas went off to Europe 10 fight Schmeling Thus Jim got his chance. He tiled tie fourth spot in the tour nament and hand d Lasky -an amazingly thorough trimming. But he was still a long way from the No. contsnderslip.
 "Sure I Can Lick. Baer'
 
 Then Carnera, who'd whipped Impellitierre, jumped the "tourna- ment' because he could not get the Garden to guarantee that the tour ney winner would NOT be side tracked in favor of Schmeling. who in the meantime had walloped Ha- mas and looked very good in doing SC.

By JoHf1 STAIR

tAse oeiated Press Sports Wri,er)
 Less than q year ago James Jay Braddock, onetime q929) light heavyweight title challenger, was juggling freight on the Jersey docks opposite Manhattan at s5 day
 Nights and week-ends he was do- ing janitor work in the apartment building where he and his wife and three youngsters lived. Joe Gould, manager of his fistic affairs, such as they were, at one time had to go cut and borrow $36 to keep the dairy wagon making regular stops at the Bladdocks.
 Now J1mes Jay Braddock is the current tl935l heavyweight title challenger. and for his muscle work he's gene to an upstate New York training camp.
 The Bsadi5ck apartment, in the same building where he worked, has been. handsomely redecorated and filled with new furniture. The Braddock youngsters have all the milk they can drink. And James and Joe, for nine years principals in one of boxing's most unselfish fighter manager relations, are look ing forward to a l5 percent cut of q gate that may run to $3O0,0OO for the June 13 battle with Max Baer!
 Had A Good Name
 What produced such a complete change inN the Braddock life his tory? Well, as you might suppose, it took nrmber of things, but principally: three winning fights of his own and elimination or unavail- ioility of rival would-be contenders through weird assortment of com plications.
 Corn Griffin, dynamiting Geor- gian, was blasting away in Primo Cameras camp as the Italian pre- pared to defend his championship last June. Griffin was a conner. He locked great. His. m n g e ment wanted good name" to add to his list of victims, on the Baer- Camera card, where lot of peo- ple'd see him.
 So they got Braddock. who hadn't fought since September, 1883, when he'd broken his right hand. Grif- fin could hit, all right. He put James down for 9 six count in the Eecond round
 Right then Jim hit the comeback trail. His eight months of labor or the docks had done more for him than he'd realized. He got up and forthwith knocked Griffin down He did 1t again in the third round and Griffin didn't get up.
