PENNINGTON, N. j.. January 15.-
The defense today again brought the
dead Isador Fisch inferentially into
the murder trial of Bruno Richard
Hauptmann with questions pointed
toward the possible thesis that Haupt-
mann's handwriting was forged to the
IA Lindbergh ransom notes.
The questions were shot at John F.
Tyrrell of Milwaukee after he had be-
come the third of the States battery
of experts to identify Hauptmann's
handwriting as that of the ransom
notes.
defense staff asked Tyrrell if there
is nothing that you could discover as
q handwriting expert that would tell
you that the author of the ransom
note probably copied it from another
writing?"
Tyrrell replied:
mo- there are too many Of those
little intimacies in this writing that
are reflected in the ransom notes that
the forger wouldn't think Of
Copying From Sample.
IT am not speaking of forgery, sir
''Imitator.'
''Nor of imitators I am merely talk
ing of copying from sample"
Later Pope asked:
fN
guise or canouflage his handwriting
would use words that would hardly be
attributed to an educated man some
times, wouldn't he?"
Tyrrell replied that in such cases
"they overlook something else that is
far more significant"
Yes" Pope went on, where they
slip in here and there an ungram-
matical or crude expression, do they
also slip in here and there some strik-
ingly grammatical terms? Is that
what you mean?"
mo, no.
well, that would be overlooking
something else, wouldn't it?"
well, if it was that kind of man."
''Well, when you are dealing with
forger or an extortioner, of course you
are dealing with that kind of MANI"
mo, not necessarily" the witness
insisted.
We'll, from your experience have
they sometimes endeavored to ward
off suspicion by the use of ungram-
matical expressions?"
The witness said they had.
Educated Man."
Edward j. Reilly, chief of the de-
fense staff, replying to a penciled
query on the purpose of the questions
pertaining to an educated man." said:
In Europe person attending a
university is classed as an educated
man. A laborer or carpenter like
Hauptmann is nothing but a mere
peasant or laborer."
Nothing has come out in the trial to
indicate that Fisch was either edu-
Gated or uneducated, but one of the
prosecutors declared as an aside today
that I'VE are prepared to tell Fisch's
life from "A to z and show that he
had no connection with the kid
naping."
Hauptmann claims Fisch gave him
the $l4.600 in ransom money which
was found in his Bronx garage the day
of his arrest last September 10. Fisch

What the steps might be they did
not say. but they asserted they would
be necessary to prevent "chaos" in
the Nations financial structure.
Chaos was . word mentioned also
by Attorney General Cummings in
arguing before the court in behalf
Of the Government. His argument
brought o. quick denial from attor-
neys representing plaintiffs who are
seeking to enforce the payment Of
gold bonds and other securities in
the old. pre-New Deal dollar, or in
its equivalent In the present dollar.
The attorneys denied that there would
be chaos and contended that the
Governments action was "repudia-
ton" Of contracts.
While all officials who would talk
at all continued today to express
confidence that the New Deal none
tary policy would be called constitu-
tional. tentative suggestions Of what
might happen II the decision were
adverse to the Government were being

Cabby's Verse
Trenchant.
Te1"Se

Washington has a cab driver
who talks of other things besides
the baseball scores, the weather
and the recklessness of other driv.
ers. He intrigues his passengers
by reciting verses-and, what is
more, they are of his own making.
Just to while the long hours
away as he drives his flares
around the city, John Wallen
Thomas Gallagher, alias "Joe the
cab driver" satirizes in verse men
prominent in national affairs. Nc
man is beyond the pale of his
pointed darts.
He listened one night to a radio
address by Senator Huey Long
and heard the Kingfish say he
would make "every man a king
The next day Gallagher cudgeled
his brain for a verse, with this
result:
"Phooey, Huey! Are you
ScreWy?
When you rGUe and rant,
Is your platform SocidIistic?
or is it Just cant?
If De reap your golden
h1rUeSt,
Will things be Just as you
Scheme?
Will this be a favored Nation,
A 1Uo1ldrouS land OF kings
and queens?
Then the verse maker read ir
the newspapers that Rhode Island
had swung back to the Repub
licans. This was his comment:
NetO Deal, now dead,
Old Deal, instead,
Voters haze said
We're changing,
Party of '32
Looks good to me and you;
So let's all toIloU through

HEALTH CHIEF
SAYS FINES
USELESS
Determined to Enforce
Regulations to Curb
Spread Of Disease

Threatening to close restau-
rants which have repeatedly vio-
lated the District sanitary regula-
tions, District Health Officer DR..
George c. Ruhland today ordered
a halt on court prosecutions until
Corporation Counsel E. Barrett
Prettyman has submitted a for
NAL opinion as to the legality of
shutting down the establishments.
DR.. Rutland said he has been
assured such action would be
legal. He said:
"The $5 and $40 fines ordered
by the courts mean very little.
We must devise some form Of
action with teeth"
DR.. Rutland ordered Chief Food
Inspector DR.. Reid Ashworth to
prepare list of establishments
which have failed to remedy un-
sanitary conditions despite re-
peated warnings and fines.
The list, he said, will be sub
mitted to the District license com.
m1ttee with recommendations that
the restaurants be forced to cease
operating. DR.. Ruhland said:
"ThiS ought to make the
erring restaurant proprietOrS
realize that we mean business,
and that they must abide by the
local sanitary regulations"
DR.. Rutland pointed out that
insanitary conditions in restau-
rants menace public health oy
spreading disease, and that the
drive to force observance of the
regulations was one of the steps
in checking the spread Of tuber.
culosis in the District.
