it's procession of handwriting ex- perts to the stand. Frank read off long lists of figures-almOSt mean ingiess except when balanced. He went into details on nearly every one of the purchases or sales made by the speculator.
 All the drama appeared to have gone out of the gray courtroom, and the interior seemed to have taken on some of the murky, fog gy atmosphere outside.
 Iiauptmann occasionally leaned over to check figures with his counsel, and appeared extremely nervous.
 Pale and Worried
 Remington, N. J., Jan 21-CU. P.)--Bruno Richard Hauptmann, looking pale and worried after d week devoted to re-casting his banking accounts in an endeavor to prove his wealth was honestly acquired, was led into couft to-day at 0:50 q. m.
 He was preceded by the entire prosecuting staff which is attempt ing to send him to the elctric chair for the murder of Charles A. Lind bergh, Jr.
 The crowd appeared to be held down by indictment weather. A heavy fog hung over Remington, and the country roads leading to the county seat were slippery and dangerous.
 All the lights in the old court room were blazing.
 The prisoner appeared to be nervous, although his guardian, rx autd h a had slept well last night. Haupt- mann leaned far forward in his chair to consult with Egbert Rose- crans, associate defense counsel.
 A letter, written in longhand and in German, was the thing that in- terested Hauptmann most when he was led into court.
 Rosecrans showed 1t to him and they read it together.
 The jury came into court five minutes early.
 Court attendants brought in the ladder which was found outside the the Lindbergh home after the Kidnapping.
 Remington, N. J., Jan 21-U. P.) In purported interview given out to-day by C. Lloyd Fish . er, defense attorney, Bruno Rich Yard Hauptmann asserts his belief that he has "a good chance" of be- ing acquitted of the Lindbergh Kidnapping. .,
 "I am anxious to take the stand" Fisher quoted Hauptmann. T have listened to lot of lies in that courtroom; now I would like to do my own talking and tell what is really the truth. I want q chance to say that I did not kill that
 sDo you think the jury will be- lieye your" he was asked.
 A. Yes"
 Are you worried about facing cross- examination?
 Mot a bit. I have been waiting q long time here to tell my story"
 sThe ransom money - how are you going to explain that?"
 "I will tell how 1t is ''repeat money 1t was used over and over again. That happens in the stock market. It wasn't LindberRh ransom money, you can bet on that"
 She Doesn't Believe It
 Colon, c. E., Jan 21-(U.P)- Mrs Marguerite Junge, housekeep- CT, and dressmaker in the Morrow home at Englewood, N. J., from 1880 to 1893, said to-day that she was mot at all convinced" that Bruno Richard Hauptmann was guilty of Kidnapping Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr.

 Federal agents felt they had fled Atlantic City and the immediate VI cinity, heading either south to Washington and Baltimore, west to Chicago, or north to New York and Boston. Highways IT. New Jersey, New York, Maryland and Pennsylvania were closely guard ed.
 Miss Delaney and her companion Winona Burdette, 21, were taken tot Philadelphia. They admitted their companions identity but otherwise disclosed little. Miss De- laney, suffering leg wound,. was treated at a local hospital. Be- cause of the chance that Karpis and Campbell might attempt a rescue, thinking the women still there, 20 police guarded the hos pital all night.
 Karpis and Campbell were in the Oklewaha, Fla, hideout of the gang three days before raiding federal agents surrounded 1t and killed Fred Barker and Barker's 55-year old mother in the ensuing gun fight. Karpis and Campbell were driving north in stolen car. They arrived at a. m. yesterday. Their women, who had traveled by train, arrived two days before. ,
 They left their car in garage where it was spotted as stolen by Policeman Elias Scaab. The two then were traced to a hotel. A police circular had warned thnt the men were dangerous, but did not say how dangerous. Scaab went to police headquarters and near the boardwalk. They were armed only with pistols.
 Detectives Edward Mulher and Arch Witham broke into a fourth floor room, expecting to find two sleeping men. Instead they found Karpis seated in a rocker, fully dressed, a sub-machine gun in his lap. Campbell sat ohm the bed, machcine gun. They opened fire as the detectives stepped back.

 Chicago Watcehs
 Chicago, Jan 21.-(UP)-Fed- eral agents backed by apparently authentic information of hideouts of the Barker-Karpis gang waited in force to-day for an attempt of Alvin Karpis, sole major member of the gang still at Urge, to hide in Illinois.
 Word that Karpis had shot his way out of Atlantic City police trur yesterday came as federal agents questioned three women captured when Arthur (Doc)' Barker was seized and Russell Gibson, an- other of the gangs members, killed two weeks ago in Chicago.

 N. ENGLAND STORM
(continued from Page 1.)


 An elderly couple died in their Charlesstown home under unusual circumstances.
 Neighbors of Joseph B. Cooke, 66, saw him seated in a rocking for three days--the expression on his face unchanged. Absence of his wife also aroused curiosity.
 Investigation revealed the man had been dead three days. The body of his wife, fully clothed. was found lying on a bed in an adjoin- ing room. Death was attributed to combination of poisonous coal gas, cold and hunger.
 The frozen body of Thomas F. Griffin,> 52, of Medford was found behind Medord building by a group of boys who notified. police. Exposure and frost bite were giv- en as cause of death.
 At Brookfleld. William Gillinsky. 3B, a town emplOye, was fatally injured while sanding streets when he was crushed between the rear of a sand truck and a skidding au- tomobiie allgedly operated by Cor don D. Billings of Union Village, R. l..

Rome, Jan 21-(UP)-The tra- ditional ceremonly of blessing two snow white lambs was held today at the> tomb of St Agnes. Roman virgin who was martyrized under Diocletian, in the church which bears her name. Afterwards the lambs were taken, decorated with pale blue ribbons, to be blessed by and presented to the Pope.

Geneva, Jan. 21.--(UP).-The council decided today that .the League of Nations cannot help refugees from the Saar at present.
 France had called on the league to aid non-French refugees. con- tending 1t was an unfair burden on France to have to shelter and help all refugees.
 The council instructed Wrancisco Najera, who is It's reporter on refugee questions, to collaborate with the Saar committee of Baron Pompeo Aloisi in submitting pro- posals to the next council session.

WORKMAN
HUNTS FOOD IN
SPARE TIME
Article VII
BY MICHAEL BURSTEIN

Army
Daily many workers would be
left without food at the lunch
hour. These wandered about the
factory kitchen like lost sheep.
Often an agitprop-an official agi-
tator - would appear in their
midst and talk Of the Soviet sue
cesses and of the crisis abroad!
Surrounding him was a crowd of
dead-tired and starved workers. 1t
would be hard to put in print
what we thought at the time.
Nominally the work day was
over at 4 o'clock, but actually
there were frequent meetings at
which attendance was compulsory.
In the summer there were many
subotniks-voluntary labor contri-
buttons which it was not safe to
avoid.
I participated in many such
mobilizations for gardening or
field work, expecting to get po-
tatoeS or cabbage in return, but
never actually receiving any of
the produce of my labor. The
usual explanation was that the
vegetables had been stolen. And
the Soviet workers did loot the
collective gardens. They stole not
because they were thieves but be-
cause they were hungry.
Searched Daily
All Of us workers were searched
daily before leaving the factory
grounds. Sometimes stolen ar.
ticles, such as nails or screws or
bolts, were found in the posses
sion of the men.
Was it because the Soviet work.
erS are thieves? No. 1t was be.
cause the worker had q table or a
door at home that needed repair,
and he could not afford to pur-
chase the hardware. Frequently
nails or screws are not to be
found in any market.
Towards evening, when the
Putilov plant spawned many
thousands Of men with drawn
faces, emaciated bodies and em.
bittered hearts, one of us would
remark to his fellow.workers
aloud:
"The Red Putilov Is OUR fac
tory! We are the masters of the

stood. They who were afraid to
take a nail from their" property,
who had slaved all day on empty
stomachs. would often turn their
faces to another gate leading
