few minutes after the fracture.

on the skull"
Reilly strobe forward to begin his

@. How many arc there?
"A. Offhand there's a book full Of
them.
He told Reilly the child's internal
organs we're not found and no exam
ination was made.

inspector made In the child's head

compared With the garments On the
body was In common use.
To offset Fishers references TO
the orphanage, Wilentz brought out
from Walsh that there were "a num-
Der OF schools In the general vicin-
ity. Walsh was excused.
Walter A. Swyaze. Mercer county

turned over 10 the Lindberghs.
He was excused d moment later.
DR.. Charles ri. Mitchell, portly,

stefan, came next 10 the stand, TO
testify TO his autopsy Of the body.
He told the attorney general, the
child's face was in good condition,
although the body generally was In

The physician said the facial fea-
lures Of the child were sufficiently
similar TO a photograph Of the
Lindbergh baby to convince him Of

cause OF death.
A. There vas no question as TO
the cause or death. The child died
OF a fractured skull.

Reilly took the witness for cross

over the map exhibits for some min

Zapolsky told OF comparing the
features Of the body, the curls about
the head with a photograph OF the
LIndbergh baDy, ne carried.
The officer said hc returned TO
iaOpeweil and telephOled TO the es-
tate. He said he was detailed TO
bring Wilson and Alien IL Tor ques-
tl0ning.
During Zapolsky's testimony on
how the body looked Hauptmann
glanced quickly several times In the
direction OF Colonel Lindbergh who
sat only 3 seats away from him.
Fisher took up the croSs-examina-
ton, bringing out from the bespec-
tacled, round-aced officer, that he
was the third man TO see the body.
Fisher again attacked the auth
enticity Of the photograph Of the
body. He pointed out that zapolsky
turned the body over, and. conSe-
Quently. the officer could not de-
scribe definitely what were the con-
ditionS before he moved it. The
photograph WAS taken before the
body was moved.
Fisher had the witness carefully
describe the condition OF the body.
He asked whether the face was well
preserved.
Yes. II was preserved in the
earth. When we turned It over II
was white. Later in turned blue"
ZapolSky said he went back To the
site again that day. bringing Inspec-
tor Harry Walsh. Of the Jersey City
police. and Lieutenant Arthur Keat-
en-. of the state police.
Fisher. shooting his questions
quickly at the officer. brought out
zapolsky had found no chisel nor
tack hammer near the body nor
made any analysis of the dirt
Fisher then took a different tack.
and brought out again q Catholic
o~rphanage was about "a OF a mile

RICES VARY AS TO TINE

Different varieties of rice vary as
to time required for cooking" says
the Bureau of Home Economics. so
it is best not to mix two or more
kinds" The bureau tested leading
varieties of rice produced on a COM
mercial scale in the Southern States
by boiling each in exactly the same
way and comparing results as to
texture. appearance, and time re-
quired to make the grains tender,
but whole. with a distinct shape and
white or creamy color
Long-grain, medium-grain, and.
shOrt-grain types were studied. All
were of high quality but time of
cooking varied. ReXorO was tender
in 16 minutes; Fortuna, in 2l min
utes; Blue Rose, in % minutes; Cal
orc Ga short-grained Japanese type)
in 20 minutes; Edith, % minutes;
Lady Wright, 90 minutes; and Early
Prolific, "a minutes. The variety
produced and sold in largest guam
tity is Blue Rose.
These American varieties are on
the market as white rice; some al
so as the less familiar brown rice.
Brown rice is the whole kernel with
the outer husk removed. II does not
keep as well as white rice, White
rice is obtained by further milling
of brown rice, and the white kernels,
after polishing. are often coated
with harmless substances that give
a pearly luster.
Wild rice. or Indian rice, is moi

HARRY W. NICE {NAU-
GURATED AS GOVERNOR
CONTINUED from Page u

Two solid rows of Baltimore police
men, buttons on their dress uniforms
glistening, kept the calvacade in
marching order. Annapolis police, too
were on hand, guarding the exit door
against those who sought to get into
line from the wrong end.
When the milling throngs in the
State House began to thin out, the
new Governor and his wife went to
the great building that will shelter
them for the next four years-the
Executive Mansion.
AS the first reception there got
under way, friends packed the man.
sion from door to door. The new Gov
ernor, still keyed up with the excite
ment that carried him through the tu-
multuous day in the spotlight, refused
to take a moment to rest.
When the line Of those pressing for
ward to shake his hand showed signs
of thinning, the Governor abandoned
his place in the receiving line and
stepped into the crowd to seek out his
friends.
There he found many familiar faces
There was former Senator Harry 0.
Levin, who has been a constant adj
wiser to Governor Nice ever since the
beginning Of the campaign. There was
former United States Senator Joseph
1. France, a running mate of the
Governors in the election that carried
a Republican into the Executive Man.
