A theatre cashier had testified he
proffered q Lindbergh ransom note
in payment for ticket on that night.
The date was prior to the time
Hauptmann said Fisch gave him the
Shoebox with the money.
Mrs. Hauptmann succeeded her
husband on the stand. On her direct
testimony she said she could not
reach the top shelf of the broom
closet and for that reason never used
it.
She insisted that she never saw
the shoebox.
Wilentz. attacking the most impor-
tant alibi she offered for her hus-
band, asked her:

Steel Work on Bridge May
 Be Thrilling, But Reporter Is Much Too Faint-Hearted

on the Juneau bridge were i'm ported" for that purpose. This business of erecting steel requires specially trained and experienced men. However, the company is employing six Juneau workers.
 J. H. Mcdonald, long experienced in this type of work, is superintend- ing the construction here. The fol- lowing eight men are on the rivet- ing crew: J. Burns, w. Turvey, O.. L. Peterson, c. J Roth, Angus Cameron, R. Rafferty, E. A. Kline smith, A. G. Dentler, and Appren- tice John Monroe
 Still More
 The erecting squad includes the following men: Jim Reed, Charles Peterson, Paul Collop, Bob Krieger, Jack Edwards, " Seidelman, and w. c. White. Krieger and White are local employees. Two others, c. c. Carpenter and Fred Hanson, are kept busy on the Government Dock sorting and preparing the girders for removal to the bridge site. Eugene Osborne, Juneau man, is employed as hoistman on the bridge Other local employees include: Fred Chase, Dan Webb, Bruce Smith, and Lawrence Lar son. N. B. Askwell, accountant, supplied these lists.
 Superintendent Mcdonald said yesterday that the east end of the project was within 43 feet of the center. When the center is reach ed, either today or tomorrow, for crew then will transfer operations to the Douglas Island side for con- struction of that half About six weeks, barring unfavorable weather, is required to complete each half. The Eastern half, now nearing com pletion, is 559 feet long.
 That Wind!
 Statistics were forgotten, how ever, when Mcdonald was asked about peculiarities in local weather conditions. Although his experience ed crew is used to all kinds of ad- verse weather, it has sincere re- spect for Juneau's winds. he said. Already, many hours have been lost because of high winds.
 Yes" he concluded, your wind is strong, all right"
 The Empire reporter was inclined to agree with him.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1935-04-25

There may be plenty of appealing thrills in this business of erecting steel, but The Empire reporter who interview workers on the Juneau- Douglas bridge, now under con- struction, has decided to stick to the newspaper game. It may not be as thrilling-but, brother, 1t looks whole lot safer!
 Said reporter clung tenaciously to comparatively safe footing near the guard rail of the bridge yes terday and watched the nonchal- ance of workmen, TO feet above the waters of Gastineau Channel, as they caught red-hot rivets. The wind tore at them and the rain lashed their faces, yet they un- concernedly went about their busi- ness of completing the first half of the steel span.
 To the general public, the rivet- ers-including the men who, on a lower level, heat the rivets and toss them to the workers high above who use chattering riveting ma chimes to drive the glowing bolts into place-are the heroes of the structural steel business. But mem bers of the steel gang" them selves have just as high regard for another creW-the erecting, or raising squad. Men on this crew have the ticklish and dangerous job of hoisting the heavy girders from barges and putting them in proper places for riveting
 25 Employed
 Juneau's bridge workers include 25 men, all employed by the J. H. Power Company at San Francisco. This California concern is erecting the steel here for the Pacific Car and Foundry Company of Seattle, which holds the contract.
 The Pomeroy concern is we'll known in the structural game, hay ing an imposing list of recent con structions. Included in this list are: the Longview, Wash. bridge over the Columbia River Largest bridge now completed in the West); and the Sunnydale, Cal, dirigible hang ar (which housed the ill-fated Ma con and Akron. The company also is doing work on the mighty Golden Gate Bridge now being flung across San Francisco's harbor.

LANDEN DIES;. WAS L0NGSHORE OFFICIAL HERE
Secretary of Local Group Succumbs to Pneumonia
 Last Evening

John Landen, Secretary of the Juneau local of the International Longshoremen's Association, died at St. ,Ann's Hospital from pneumonia at 10:35 o'clock last night. Funeral arrangements, pending advice from relatives, were not completed late today at the Juneau Young Under taking Company, where the body was taken.
 \ Landen, said to be about 55 years old, was admitted to the hospital Saturday suffering from influenza.
 Described today by fellow long shoremen as "a popular, likeable man." Landen had been water front worker here for several years. It was not ascertained exactly when he came to Juneau. He also had been a mill worker here.
 Landen is known to have been member of the Odd Fellows, and had a registry card from the Index, Wash, chapter. Local Odd Fellow officials were checking to- day to determine if he had ever been a member here. It also is thought that he was member of the Loyal Order of Moose.
 Juneau Young Undertaking Par Tor directors telegraphed daugh- ter, believed to be residing in New York City, for funeral directions. He is believed to be survived by no other immediate relatives If the funeral is held here, it is be- lieyed that the Moose, Odd Fellows and I. l.. A. will share in the. last rites. ts3
