County, Delegate r. Shirley Hays de-
clared today in announcing his sup
port Of a bill for that purpose intro

Through personal observation and

Her bill prohibits the discharge Of
firearms by minors. except when ac-
companied by an adult, who Is made
responsible for damages in civil action,
and also makes 1t unlawful for any
one to shoot a gun or pistol within
200 feet Of habitation, highway or

The measure Is countrywide In
scope, but Miss Shoemaker said in
presenting It that she believed the
greatest need for such legislation Is
in the metropolitan area which Is
frequented by city-bred boys unfa-
miliar with the proper care and use
Of firearms.
Shot Kills Horse.
As evidence Of the need Of the pro-
posed legislation in the rural sections.
Delegate Hays, who lives in Barnes

that about a year ago one Of his
horses was hit by high powered rife
bullet while in the pasture and died
soon after. He never learned who

of a surprise witness Reilly said he
would produce to support Haupt-
manns alibi for the night Of the kid
naping.
Hauptmann has testified that on
the night of March /, 1882. when the
Lindbergh baby was kidnapped, he
called for his wife at the Bronx bak-
cry where she worked and while watt
ing for her took the owners police
dog for walk.
Seen With Dog.
The story is that Hauptmann was
stopped by a man who thought the
dog was one he had lost and who ac-
cused Hauptmann of taking it.
Hauptmann is said to have told the
man who he was and to have con-
vinced him the dog was not the miss
ing one.
Later the stranger returned to his
home and heard a radio announce
ment of the Lindbergh kidnapping,
thus fixing the date in his mind,
Reilly said.
The prosecution considered making
the renewed cross differ
ent from the hurrying, pounding on
Slaught Wilentz made in that crowded
half-hour Friday.
There was need for such procedure
then, the prosecution board of
strategy agreed. Hauptmann had
been on the stand telling his own
story under the questioning Of his
chief counsel. He apparently had
made a good impression by the way
in which he pictured himself as an
innocent man.
AS soon as Wilentz took the witness
for cross-examination. it became i'm
mediately apparent that the goal was
to destroy that impression In one brief
slaShing attack, so that the Jurors
would carry in their minds through
the week end recess the memory OF
Hauptmann, not calm and innocent
appearing, but as shaken witness
reluctantly making admissions damag-
ing to his case.
Some trial observers voiced criticism
of the defense strategy in surrendering
the witness to the State at such a late
hour in the day, arguing the direct
examination could have been pro-
longed until adjournment.
The impression Hauptmann made
would have an opportunity to crystal
ize over the week end, and the defend
ant himself time to get well rested
before facing Wilentz.
In further crosS-examinatiou of
Hauptmann the tentative plan was to
proceed slowly and placidly until q
damaging point was reached and then
to worry the witness as savagely as
ever.
Wilentz, discussing Hauptmann,s
testimony thus far, remarked:
What struck me most during the
cross-examination was Hauptmann's
absolute lack Of feeling. He talked
about the Lindbergh baby, the ladder
and women's children as If he were
talking about dollars and cents"
The attorney general also referred
briefly to the strange quality of Haupt-
mann's voice.
Il could remember his voice and 50
could any other person in the court
room if they had heard it under those
circumstances" he said.
The circumstances he spoke of were
those which obtained when Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh said he heard II
during the ransom pay-of rendezvous.
The aviator positively identified the
voice as that of Hauptmann.

Spelling Demonstrated.

Wileftz questioned him similarly on
the tfansposition of g and h IN
''right."
"Spell wright just as you have it

structed as he handed Hauptmann
ledger In which was recorded the pur-
chase Of Curtiss-Wright Aviation
stock.
"w-r-i-g-h-t," the prisoner spelled.
"Just like you have the h-g-t here
in light isn't that right?"
Eyes, that Is right"
He denied the German English die
tionary that Wilentz produced came
from his home; said his was thicker.
He said he first heard of Col. Lind
bergh Immediately after the latter's

to say the name.

to centralize the investigation. Po-
lice believe that Hauptmann took the

and journeyed to some sort Of incon-
spicuous shop or store, where he
would make a small purchase. The

COUGHL|N RIFF
WITH CHURCH
DISCLOSED

BOSTON, May 24.-Vigorous
criticism of the methods of Father
Charles E. Coughlin, Of Detroit,
voiced yesterday by Cardinal
O'Connell, Archbishop of Boston,
and dean of the Roman Catholic
Church in America, has brought
to the fore the rift between the
fighting priest" and the Catholic
hierarchy of the United States.
In an address to session of
the Catholic Foresters, the Cardi-
nal declared the radio priests
talks were "hysterical" and not
in the sphere Of a Catholic priests
work.
Earlier Clash Recalled
Earlier criticisms by the Car
dinal led Father Coughlin to de-
vote one of his broadcasts to a
response.
Cardinal O'Connell did not
mention the name of the radio
priest in his address, but the
inference was obvious. He said:
"All those disturbing voices,
the shouting, yelling, and
= screaming, are so unbecOming
to anyone who occupies the
place of a teacher in Christ'S
church that even the quality
of their voice betrayS them.
They are hysterical. And no
priest Of God, no teacher Of
the Christian church, even per-
mitS himself to become hySter.
zeal. The matter Is too seri-
GUS"
In addition to assailing the
tone of Father Coughlin's
speeches, the Cardinal ques-
toned the propriety of campaign
ing in dioceseS other than his
own.
Many Ways to Voice Views
He declared:
There are a million ways in
which any citizen of America
can voice his views, but it
ought to be done with self
respecting honesty, and, above
all, with the proper respect
due to superiOrs. That is the
underlying principle of Christian
conduct. Otherwise you have
good reason to think that all
the pretenSe of having
superior knowledge and superior
care for the poor is sham"
It is the duty of Catholic
priests to direct the spiritual life
of members of their flock. Cardl-
nal O'Connell asserted, and mot
to appeal merely to some way
ward emotion of the day, not to
make a lot of endless and foolish
promises which can never be
