CAVALIER
GETS HIGH HONOR
Gentry, Chosen Leader of
Track at Oxford, First
Yank Ever Elected.

~ xFORD, England, June 1s.-
4 Fenton Gentry, who has been
I elected captain Of the Oxford
~ University track team, Is the
first American ever to receive this
honor. Gentry. who Is q native OF
Chattanooga, Tenn, graduated from
the University Of Virginia before COM
ing to oxford as a Rhodes Scholar.
The selection Of o captain in Oxford
sports Is as much q vote Of confidence
as a recognition of athletic services,
as the position involves extended re-
sponsibilities. AS track captain MI.
Gentry will have the responsibility OF
selecting a team from among the
candidates participating IN the sport,
he will direct their training and ne
will have charge Of the club house
and grounds.
Gentry is not only the first Amer
ican to become captain OF Oxfords
trackmen, but he Is also the nrst
oxford shotputter to receive this
honor. He has been for the last year
captain of the Christ Church athletic
team and of the Centipede athletic
team.
At the University of Virginia Gentry
was captain Of the boxing team dur
ing the first Of the five seasons since
it was last defeated. He was also q
Southern Conference light heavy
weight champion, and he won his
varsity letter In track and in foot
ball. At Virginia he held member
ships In many student organizations,
including the Sigma Chi fraternity.
and he was president of the General
Atheletic Association.
Gentry received his master Of
science degree from the University
of Virginia before entering Christ
Church College, oxford. as Rhodes
scholar. He is studying the modern
great subjects at Oxford, with EN-
phasis on philosophy.
Among the clubs Of which he Is q
member Is the Achilles Club, mem
bers Of which are chosen from Ok
ford and Cambridge athletic teams.

now otter drags out intsrminably and
invariably slows up the program.
As the method now is applied,
judges watch homes perform, then
score them on conformation after
ward in each and every event. Since
q horse is not very apt to change the
size Of his bones or the shape Of his
head between one class and another,
it seems futilely repetitious to stare
ct the same horses over and over
again, presumably each time arriving
at some new conclusion or other.

Since performance usually counts

Why it should be necessary to strip
down to shirt sleeves for that brief
workout we cannot see.
Apparently q majority Of the more
conservative committee members on
the Virginia circuit agree with that
viewpoint. They merely have failed
to pass a ruling In regard to their own
shows.
We should think the simplest
method would be to add the condition
to the Virginia Horse Show Associa-
ton bylaws.
or MUCH less Importance Is the next

At Upperville and at two other
meetings we have witnessed this sea-
son, the schedule was held up on oc-
casion because q fence was smashed
by some horse that made jumping
mistake.
Caught without extra panels at
hand, the managers had to call In Q
man with a hammer and nails to set
things Alright again.
Unquestionably 1t would have been
simpler to have the carpentering done
before the show began. A minor
point, but It's finesse that makes horse
shows, too.
Canvassing among owners and rid
ers, we have not been able to organize
a satisfactory referendum on the
third question, but obviously there Is
enough interest extant to justify con-
sideration of the matter the next time
the Virginia association meets.

characters.
Direct examination Of the ex-
pert ended at 1890 p. m. and
court was adjourned until las
p. m.
Mr.. Souder followed Mr., Cas-
sidy to the stand. Mr.. Souder said
he was chief of the Identification
laboratory of the United States
Bureau of Standards.
He had been with the bureau
for 10 years and identifying
handwriting for the past nine
years. :
The defense conceded his
qualification as an expert.
Mr.. Souder said he first saw
the ransom notes in April, 1892
when he was called to the Lind.
bergh home.
Joseph A. Lanigan, assistant at
torney general, questioned the
witness, who said he examined
the notes on three occasions.
In December, 1884, he exam.
ined the conceded writing Of
Hauptmann.
Mr.. Souder told of degrees he
had received at the University
of Chicago and of his long court
experience as an expert witness
on documents.
The witness, crisp and obvious
ly widely experienced in courts,
was impressive.
He said he had studied the ran
som notes since April, 1892, as
we'll as the request writing and
genuine" writing of Hauptmann.
Mr.. Lanigan asked:
what was the purpose Of this
Study?"
"TO determine the writer Of
the ransom documents"
Q.-And what was your conclu-
sion? Any conclusion was that
one person wrote all three sets of
writings. That Bruno Richard

quest writings, also wrote the ran.
som documents!
The Washington times., 1935-01-16
Explains Charts

Mr.. Souder produced charts to
illustrate how he had reached
his opinion. Holding up one chart
he said:
Briefly, I call your attention
to the departure Of this writing
from normal handwriting. call
your attention to the d. the
'S' and the e."
He pointed out no individual
ever makes two letters precisely
the same, but while there were
differences between some Of the
letters written by Hauptmann
they were enough alike to show
all were written by the same in
dividual.
Speaking in quick, precise
phrases. Mr.. Souder pointed out
the strange "n," the common
downward stroke of the pen on
the final "e" of some words, the
queer construction Of you" and
other characteristics common to
the writing in both Hauptmann's
script ond the ransom letters.
The jury followed the testimony
of the expert closely. Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh gave rapt attention

from the commission of a felony
is murder.
If the jury believes the States
contention that Hauptmann
climbed the ladder and entered
the nursery Of the Lindbergh
home, left the ransom note and
kidnapped the child, this entry
constitutes a technical burglary,
it was held.
And the death of the child fol-
lowing this felonious act then be-
comes not manslaughter but muir
der.
Plea. Would Fail
It was also pointed out that It
will not be necessary for the
State to show where the death
occurred. In a case Of this kind
it is presumed under the Jersey
law that the death took place at
the point where the felony was
committed, in this case at the
Lindbergh home.
Hauptmann would have no
chance of escaping under the plea
that he was merely an accomplice,
it was said, since in a case Of this
kind the same penalty is given to
an accomplice as to q principal.
Even though Hauptmann was
not present at the time the baby
was killed, but was at his own
home, would not clear him, it was
said. The fact that he partici-
pated in the kidnapping would
warrant conviction under the law.
Cavicchia's Opinion
Representative Peter Cavicchia
(R0, of New Jersey, a former pro-
feSSor of law, holds that even
though Hauptmann did not lille
gally enter the house he would be
subject to the death penalty on
conviction.
kidnapping is a felony, he said,
and the fact that Hauptmann was
participating in a felony which re-
suited in a death makes him sub
ject to capital punishment unless
the jury should recommend
mercy.
His opinion differs from others
who hold that the State must
prove the techical burglary"
charge in order to make a capital
case against the defendant.
Asked a hypothetical question,
as to the extent of Hauptmann's S
guilt in event the child was given
to him outside the house, by some
person who had legal right to
be within, Representative Cavic-
CHA stated that in his opinion
Hauptmann was participating in
a felony and so subject to death
on conviction.
The Washington times., 1935-01-16
Compares Letters

Mr.. Pope went on asking about
the similarity or dissimilarity of
various letters in both Haupt-
mann's writing and in the ran
som notes.
Q.-In this word, "P" in the
word please" do you think the
cps" are similar? A.-There are
two types of "P's."
Q.-Didn't you hunt through
the exhibits trying to find cps"
that would compare? Ayes.
One goes through the writings
looking for similarities, then goes
through looking for discrepancies.
Taking the chart and holding
his finger over part of a word,
Mr.. Pope asked Mr.. Souder:
''If you were shown this letter
'P' alone, that is . part Of the
word, what would you call it?"
"A letter 'P'."
Asked the same question about
the letter 3D." the witness admit
ted there would be a doubt in his
mind whether it was a I'd" or not.
Mr.. Pope suddenly went back to
the year 1859 in his questioning.
He wanted to know if handwriting
experts had not been disagreeing
on questioned handwriting "since
the disagreement over the Junius
documents in 1852"
Mr.. Wilentz objected to the ques-
ton as too remote" but he was
overruled. The witness replied he
regretted he could not answer the
question.
Mr.. Souder was excused then
and Albert D. Osborn, handwrit-
ing expert, was called.
Mr.. Cassidy was the fifth OF
the States handwriting experts to
say from the witness stand that
Hauptmann wrote the IA ransom
notes,
