RAID CASES |

Evidence collected in II raids on
alleged gambling establishments
was presented to the District
Grand Jury today with the view
to obtaining indictments. In the
majority of cases, the Govern
ment hoped to obtain indictments
against numbers" game operators
and thereby break up the racket
in this city.
Justice James M. Proctor set
aside the conviction of Gene Bur
dine on a charge of making bets
on horse races on the ground he
had not been properly indicted.
Mr.. Burdine's attorney, Harry
T. Whalen, pointed out that the
evidence in the case sought to con.
meet Mr.. Burdine with operations
of numbers" game and that he
should have been indicted under
the anti-lottery law of the code.

FLEMINGTON, N. j., Jan. 10.
Refreshed by a nights sleep, his
Jovian and jovial head unbowed,
"JafSie"-Dr. John F. Condon-
found eager crowds awaiting his
return engagement today in his
star act on the witness stand.
Edward J. Reilly, chief lawyer
for the defense, had ever so many
pointed questions which he wished
to put to the self-admitted contact
man between Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh and the cold-blooded Grim
inal who pocketed the colonel's
$4,000 then heartlessly sent him
on wild eagles chase for the
blond-haired baby never to be seen
alive again.
More Than an Actor
There are those who would be
daunted-not to say haunted
by the tragic futility of inter-
vention such as "Jafsie's"! His
exuberent spirit is dimmed by no
vain repinings. For sheer show
manship, his performance on the
stand today may equal that
which he gave yesterday, but can
not surpass it.
When "Jafsie" testifies, his
words are loud and clear and tor
rental, but his actions speak
louder than words. He combines
the arts of the old-fashioned &C.
tor, the popular lecturer and the
successful revivaliSt.
The courtroom eats it up. More
over, "Jafsie" is playing to his
own little group of loyal and
trustful admirers. They occupy

MNsJ.-The defense Of Bruno
tsicnard Hauptmann, on trial for
gala. murder Of Charles Augustus
k.indbergh, jr., is costing more
than $S0,000," Edward j. Reilly,
NiaieR Of defense counsel, told
International News Service today
In an exclusive interview.
Hauptmann is paying only q
Soaltry $4,000 o: this cost, Reilly
said, and the rest Of the expense
Is being carried by the four at
borneys who are trying to save
Ehe German from the electric
ehair. Reilly said:
"We have received only $4,000
from Hauptmann-on q mort
gage he held. And that was
paid out in less than three
weeks for Investigations. He
hasn't any more money that
isn't tied mp by the Govern
ment. The rest Of the ex-
penses are coming out Of the
pockets Of his lawyers.
INVESTIGATION COSTS
The four legal musketeers who
Rre paying so heavily for the
privilege Of defending Hauptmann
ere the clarion.voiced Reilly, fiery
C.. Lloyd Fisher, ministerial Fred
erick A. Pope and lean, hawk
faced Egbert RosecranS. Reilly is
from Brooklyn. The other three
are New Jersey attorneys.
Reilly said the biggest item Of
cost has been the expense of in
yastigations.
"Only yesterday I had three
automobiles and three chauf-
feurs burning up the road be-
tween New York and here on
separate Investigations and er-
Rands while I was in court ques-
4iOning DIR. Condor.
"We have had investigators
working In several States for
weeks. The expense Of this is
terrific. I also have to keep at
least three Investigators with me
NIL the time here i'm Pennington
and there is the cost of various
experts, communications, office
help and many other things.
The loss Of our own time is cost
ing ms heavily"
BILL MAY INCREASE
Reilly'S estimate on the ex-
penses is based on four weeks of
actual trial and covers nine
weeks prior to the trial. If the
trial runs longer than a month,
the bill will rise accordingly.
The defense lawyer vehemently
denied he received a single dime"
from any source except the de-
fendant. He said the only recon-
pense he and his associates can
hope for is the satisfaction of
saving an innocent man"
Attorney General David T. Wi
aentZ, vino heads the aggressive
prosecution forces, refused to eSti-
mate what the trial will cost New
Jersey. He said:
II am not considering ex-
penseS in this case"
It is known the cost of the trial
will run well into five figures for
the state, however. The State will
pay all but a small portion Of this
cost, which will be shared by Hun
tsrdon county.
The crime for which Haupt-
mann is on trial has been the
most expensive of it's kind in his
tory. If the cost Of all Federal,
State and local Investigations re-
sulting from the Baby Lindbergh
kidnapping and murder could be
summed up accurately, it would
amount to millions.
