today had positively identified
Bruno Richard Hauptmann, now
on trial for the Lindbergh kid
naping in New Jersey, as the
man who gave him lift near
Hopewell on the day the crime
was committed.
Mr.. Garrick identified Haupt-
mann from pictures at the de-
tective bureau here. He said he
was visiting in New Jersey at
the time.
ut is he, I am sure Of it.
He and another man and two
women were in a car which
gave me a lift on a road near
the Lindbergh estate. This
man Hauptmann asked me
where the road branched off
that led to the Lindbergh home"
Mr.. Garrick said he would be
willing to go East and testify

ever, he said the trip would be
a financial setback to him.

TURBINE To AID.
CANCER WAR

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Jan.
9.-With its rim tearing through
space at nearly a half mile a
second and developing centrifu-
gal force that rips the rim, if
it is of steel, to pieces. an air.
driven turbine has been perfected
at the University of Virginia which
doctors hope to use in iSolating
the cancer virus.
Already it has been able to
separate haemoglobin molecules
from blood. It is a centrifuge,
Of which the ordinary cream
separator is the example best
known to the public. But it oper-
ates in vacuum and at a dazzling
speed.
The SYRUP" in which the
dreaded bacteria swim thus can
be torn apart and forced to give
up the germ. Yellow fever is one
virus it is hoped to attack.
The turbine now used by Prof.
J. w. Beams, who has been work
ing on the project six years, and
his protege, Edward G. Pickles,
a graduate student of Richmond,
is made of duraluminum-uSed to
coat airplane wings-Strong and
light. Sixty pounds of air pres
sure are used both to propel it
and as an air cushion to prevent
shattering.

RED" JOHNSON
IN NORWAY;
= MARRIED

OSLO, Jan. 8 G.NS0.-Henry
Red" Johnson, ex-sailor who fig.
ured in the Lindbergh kidnapping
case as q friend of Betty Cow,
Lindbergh nurse, was located
here today, found to be married,
and apparently not intending to
testify in the Hauptmann trial.
johnson married Norwegian
girl last fall, it was learned. His
presence here scotched reports he
had sailed for the United States
aboard the lie de France to testify
at Pennington.
johnson has been living in
obscurity here under his native
name Of Hendrick Finn Johan-
neson. He was found by Inter
national News Service some weeks
ago and reluctantly discussed the
Lindbergh case, saying he had
cleared himself with the Amer
lean police and had no desire
to become further involved.
He added that he had never
seen or heard of Hauptmann prior
to his arrest and pleaded to be left
alone, declaring his livelihood had
been endangered as a result OF
publicity. He is engaged in q
small business here.
PARIS, Jan. 9 G.N.S).-The
report that Henry RED" johnson,
Betty Cows ex-boy friend, was
sailing for America to testify in
the Hauptmann trial fizzled out
today in a big laugh for Paul
Johnson, of Chicago.
Mistaken for the Norwegian,
Paul johnson was surrounded by
scores Of photographers and re-
porters as he boarded the boat
train for the lie de France.

The line started forming around

NEW YORK, Jan. 9 G.N.s).
Ocean and harbor traffic were
disrupted, airplanes were
grounded, and trains and motor
lists were delayed as the heaviest
and most protracted fog in many
years continued to grip New York
and the Eastern Seaboard today.
Hundreds of minor accidents
were reported and land and har-
Dor police were kept busy trying to
prevent serious mishaps.
One serious accident was mar
rowly averted when a ferryboat,
carrying 10 automobiles and a
dozen = foot passengers, went
aground on Thallman Island in
Long Island Sound, off College
Point, Queens, after swerving to
avoid being run down by a
steamer.
The ferry was pulled off the
mud at high tide and proceeded

a large sum last year in Stockinug

But the total catch for the day
was: Two dead cats, three old
boots, and a carplet weighing less
than two ounces.
The carp with which the pond
had been stocked had been washed

'JAFS|E' DROPS
WORD|NESS At

COURTROOM, FLEMINGTON,
N. j., Jan. 9 Q.NSO.-An amia-
BILE looking wordy man whose ami.
ability and wordineSs, too, van
iShed at the big moment of to-
days Hauptmann trial session.
That was DR.. John "JatSie'
Condor as jury and spectators saw
him today, smiling at first under
his white muStache, but bristling
with resolution as he said firmly
and quickly the most dramatic
words of the trial Of the alleged
Lindbergh baby kidnaper:
"'JOhn' is Bruno Richard
Hauptmann!"
There was no you're a iar!"
from Hauptmann this time.
He merely dropped his eyes and
looked down at his hands.
Gets His Own Way
DR.. Condor made it plain i'm
mediately he was going to answer
questions in his own way.
Asked where he lived, he did
not give his address but described
his home as "the most beautiful
borough in the world-the Bronx. d"
Asked his occupation, he did
not merely say he was a teacher,
but went into his early youth and
his early assumption Of family re-
sponSibility.
First, counsel for Hauptmann
tried to make him answer ques-
tionS Eyes" or mo" Then At
torney General Wilentz tried. But
they soon gave it up. An audience
was nothing new to "JafSie. "
Interruptions were nothing new.
With perfect poise, he went on
teStifying in his own way and
managing to make his answers
to every question entirely clear.
He did not look harried or
distressed. He was all prepared
for this moment, the climax OF
two years of waiting.
Rebukes Reilly
He gesticulated as he spoke.
When interrupted at one digres-
sion Of Defense Counsel Reilly,
he waved a hand and said:
81 beg your pardon, / know
better"
He also begged the judges
pardon on one or two occasions.
His whole attitude under direct
examination was that Of a
friendly old gentleman perform
ing a civic duty, without reluc.
tance or apology-even with
some pride.

SEEKING
7 D AGIT ATE
BY International News Service

By international News Service
The huge army Of unemployed
transients has become a trouble
some factor in the nations relief
problem, reports from various
centers showed today.
Professional agitators, reputed
Communists in many instances,
are boring into these groups seek
ing to incite disturbances of all
kinds, it was declared.
Official investigation proved,
Harry L. Hopkins, Federal Relief
head, states, that IS per cent of
these migrants are looking for
work. This incentive is what
keeps them drifting from one spot
to another.
227,0OO Recorded
More than 227,000 transients
have been recorded by the FERA.
Attempts have been made to
anchor as many as possible in the
communities where found, in an
effort to rehabilate them. De-
spite this effort, agitatorS have
been successful in a number of in
stances in stirring up demonstra-
tions, usually about the kind or
quantity Of food, or about restric-
tions of any kind.
Even the Nations Capital has
not been free of such manifesto
tions of discomfort. Accessibility
of this city from nearby industrial
cities, especially seaport areas, has
aggravated the situation. It was
found in one instance that sea-
men, most of them reputedly
aliens with American papers, were
leaders in the trouble-making.
Center Is Raided
In another city, after what was
regarded as an unusual amount of
lawlessness, the towns police raid
ed the transient center.
The arrival Of severe weather
has started new migrations, break
ing up any standardized relief
program.
One of these migrations is now
headed toward Florida, causing
Florida authorities to set up Dor.
der patrols to prevent further in
creaseS in its unemployed. FERA
has had to increase allotments to
take care of these.
The winter program is designed
to help those who really want to
work. For the others, the profes-
sional travellers, trouble makers,
and adventurers, the dictum will
be enforced, Work to eat," Hop
kinS declared.

McCarl Ruling
Clears Up Rail
Pay Tangle

All is serene at the National
Railroad Adjustment Board to-
day for the chairman can sign
expense vouchers.
Confusion first arose when
officials Of the board had rea-
son to suspect their chairman
might not be properly called a
"chief of field party" as re-
quired by a Government regu-
lation for a person signing
vouchers.
Comptroller General John R.
McCarl sustained that view
point today and held that the
chairman was not a chief of
any field party, because he is
established in a permanent
office.
He cleared up the confusion,
however, by pointing out that
under another Government reg
ulation, chief clerks, which
would include the chairman in
question, are authorized to sign
expense vouchers and admin
lister oathS.

TRIAL SHORTER
BY REILLY PLAN

FLEMINGTON, N. j., Jan. 9
Q.N.SO.-Edward j. Reilly, chief
defense counsel, today told Inter
national News Service he had
made it possible for the State to
dispense with the testimony Of Is
of it's list Of approximately 120
witnesses yet to be called in the
Bruno Richard Hauptmann trial.
This will cut down the length
Of the trial at least a day, so that
the case should go to the jury in
a little less than three weeks from
today, the lawyer said. He added:
"The witnesses are mostly
bank employees who were to tes-
tify to their handling Of parts
of the $4,000 made up for the
Lindbergh ransom. We have
made stipulations concerning
the making up of the ransom
package which will make their
testimony unnecessary"

FLEMINGTON, N. j., Jan. 9
G.N.SO.-Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann has found his tongue.
The change came over the
granite man" late yesterday. 1t
was one of the most amazing de-
velopmentS of the trial so far.
The mysterious Old World Grim.
inal seemed to change character
in the space Of a minute. Lon
CLANCY couldn't have done it
more strikingly.
"This Is the Man"
The silent, gray wolf, the clam,
became a magpie with a cultural
voice. Hauptmann'S first publicly
spoken words of the trial were
heard after Joseph Perrone, a
Bronx taxi driver, identified the
prisoner as the sender of one of
the Lindbergh ransom notes
Walking from the witness stand,
Perrone went straight to Haupt'
mann, whacked him on the shoul.
der and said:
"This is the man."
The courtroom was electrified
when Hauptmann barked, in a
strangely truculent, cultural
voice:
you're . liar"
The excitement scarcely had
subsidized when a recess was called
and Hauptmann at once began
chattering to reporters who jam
med up to the railing. The pris-
oner said:
"PerrOne is crazy. He is a liar.
And he is crazy. In two and a
half years he says he remem-
bers me. Impossible. He is
crazy"
els Crazy, Too"
Then he commented on the 81
year-old witness from the Sour
land Mountains who earlier had
testified he saw Hauptmann near
the Hopewell estate of the Lind
bergh'S 10 hours before the kid
naping.
"He is crazy, too. That old
man is crazy"
He spoke in a rush of abrupt
words:
81 feel all right-as good as
you can in case like this.
But 1 want my wife and baby
to be all right. My wife has
been fine. She has stuck good
to me through this.
~ guess they didn't prove
much, except a couple of silly
things. So far, that is, am
not worried"

'JAFS|E" LIKE A
SMALL CHILD
ON STAND
By MARGARET GARRAHAN
International News Service

International News Service
COURTHOUSE, PENNINGTON,
N. j.. Jan. 9 0.N.SD.-A great
big little boy is sitting in the
witness chair here today and a
spectacular audience is sitting
spellbound. He is DR.. John F.
Condor.
"Jafsie" is the biggest thing in
this trial. He's what they've all
been waiting for. Everybody's
been wondering if he would &C
tually come. Conjecture has been
running high as to what he
would finally say.
And now he's saying it:
"'JOhn' iS"-with a burning
glance at Attorney General
David T. Wilentz and a glare at
the defendant-"BrunO Richard
Hauptmann!"
HAS COME THROUGH
"Jafsie" has come through!
There is a wave Of movement
through the courtroom. Bull
letinS flash past the messenger
grapevines to the sides of tele.
graphers. Reporters jump up,
run out. Spectators murmur, the
murmur becomes a roar. Pan
demonium reigns for a moment
then silence.
"Jafsie" is very much like a
little boy. He makes little boy
faces and clamps his hand over
his mouth with a sudden, indrawn
breath like a blundering kid. He
seems to say:
ooh! 1 shouldn't have said
that now, should II"
Skillful as is Mr.. Wilentzs
questioning of his witness, "Jafsie"
is keeping him on his toes. He
has a habit of running off into
a half dozen answers, or injecting
a bit of homely philosophy or
appreciation, to a question.
Then, when Wilentz catches up
with him:
did make q mistaken"
or, "I'm very sorry-it's my
first time on the witness
stand"
Judge Likes Him
He wants to get his eXuberant
appreciation of people and things
into the record. He'll ask Will
entz:
MAY 1 put little phrase in
here"
Or when asked where he lives:
'T live in the most beautiful
borough"
He's always cut off. But it
doesn't keep him down.
He is IA, with gray hair and a
small gray mustache. His face is
florid and his eyes, darkly deep
set, twinkle-like a Santa Claus.
He is sitting beside Justice
Thomas w. Trenchard, and a re-
semblance between them is noted.
The judge is listening intently.
Apparently he likes "Jafsie."
The jury is listening as one
man, leaning forward, discussing
this point or that, smiling with
him, waiting for his next words.
Everybody in this room is lis
tening.
"Jafsie" is hit.
