rupted to discuss the questions asked
Lindbergh paid little attention to
anything except the prospective juror
under examination.
The prospective juror who said she
had no children, hesitated when
Fisher asked if she expected Haupt-
mann to prove his innocence rather
than the State his guilt.
Justice Trenchard intervened to ex-
plain the theory that a defendant is
innocent until proven guilty.
Mrs. Young expressed BELIEF she
could follow that rule.
Reads Advertisement.
Hauptmann. more animated than
on the opening day of the trial, read
something very carefully as the ques-
tioning continued. The reading mat
ter was a printed advertisement on
sales psychology.
After long conference, the defense
used one of its five remaining per-
emptory challenges to dismiss Mrs
Young
During an interruption Mrs. Anne
Lindbergh entered the court room ac-
companied by Mrs. H. Norman
Schwarzkopf. A rustic of excitement
passed over the room.
Justice Trenchard raped for order
as the quiet, pale woman was seated
in the second row of special seats
near the judges bench.
Lindbergh glanced toward her as
she appeared then turned and stared
straight ahead, set expression on his
face.
Daisy Emmons Of Califon, a ma
tronly married woman, said she had
no objections to capital punishment
or prejudice against the defendant
The defense made a peremptory
challenge and she was dismissed.
Mrs. Lindbergh from her seat
among the other spectators, soon be-
gan to look about the room. Her
glance rested for long minute on
Hauptmann, who in a momentary
interruption shortly afterward, stole
slow glance toward the woman
whose child he is charged with mur-
dering.
Carpenter Accepted.
A lean-faced carpenter, Liscon c.
Case Of Franklin, was next called. The
routine examination followed and
neither side challenged the gray
haired, ay-mustached man and he
was accepted by both sides and sworn

pronounced jaw line, took the stand
next. He said he was an unemployed
bookkeeper, who formerly worked In

He declared he would decide Haupt-
mann's guilt or innocence solely or
the evidence and assured Fisher he
harbored no prejudice whatever
against the Bronx alien.

Jury Guard Sworn.
Justice Trenchard ordered the jury

Fisher leaned toward him and asked

so low he had to repeat it. As he
spoke he clasped an elbow with
nervous fingers.

Laughter in Court.

There have been laughs in the court
room today. Where civilized persons
gather there must always be laughter.
even in the presence Of the grief that
will live forever in the heart of a
child's father.
We laughed when one Of the defense
lawyers asked a Juror if his wife agreed
with him. We'll, We always have"
he said family, doubtfully. We
laughed again when a pretty girl ex-
planned that she had adroitly moved
over the county line. and so must be
excused from jury duty.
One studies the face of Attorney
General WilentZ-he looks self pos
sessed, poised, brilliant; we shall
come to know this name. Edward j.
Reilly, head Of the defense group, is
impressive: he looks as if a magnifi-
cent priest might have been lost to
the church when he turned to the
law.
THE afternoon wanes. We have
seven jurors-now We have nine, ten;
things are moving at. last.
And then quite suddenly the first
day of the Hauptmann trial is over;
we go out to fresh, cold air again. A
colorless Winter sun is setting over
the town and the hills We scatter;
every one is tired. Newsboys are
shouting early afternoon editions in
the streets. The die is cast now; the
great wheels of the law are moving;
history is to be written in these next
few weeks, never to be obliterated

He leans forward in his black robes,

by so many prison pictures, so many

Body Found in Woods.

EVuuu vvOOuSs
So back again to New Jersey for Col
Lindbergh and to the home of sorrow
Then on May 12-on May II, 1892
some colored gentleman, driving along
the highway, got of the beaten path
Of the road and into woods, to an
swer the call of nature-or what
ever 1t was-and there he was horri-
fled by the sight Of what appeared
to him to be the body of an infant,
and of course he rushed away, but not
until he had told somebody about it,
and pretty soon, pretty soon, Col
Lindbergh and Betty Cow and others
had turned the body of that child up,
face up.
The moisture in the ground had
still preserved the face little bit, so
that 1t was white when 1t was turned
up and 20 minutes after the air
struck it. 1t had turned black.
The body was horribly decomposed,
one leg had been eaten away and
carried away, one hand had been
taken away, a great part of its body
had been eaten away, the rest Of 1t
decomposed, the skin and the flesh
rotted away in that hole, the grave
that Hauptmann had placed for it.
But there was that little sleeping
shirt that Betty Cow had prepared
and that Mrs Lindbergh had helped
her prepare that day. there was the
forehead and the brown curls and
the curly-headed prominent forehead

he could do as he did: Live life
of luxury and ease so he would not
have to work.
Quit Job Day He Got Money.
He quit his job the day he collected
the $4,000, the very day; they had to
replace him; so that he could do as
he did: Live life of luxury and ease.
So he could go to Florida, so he could
have a boat on Hunters Island ana
other places, SO he could have radio.
in the midst of the worst depression
of this land, in May, 1882. He spends
S4O0 for a radio.
Not only that: So that he could as
he did gamble and speculate with
thousands and thousands and thou
sands of dollars. Why, he poured
money into these accounts. In July,
1888, alone what do you suppose this
gentleman did? Forty-five hundred
dollars in the account of Mrs. Schoen-
field or whatever her. name is, the
wife, the maiden name, the delightful
wife of Mr.. Hauptmann: $4,500 In the
same month, $4,000 more in cash in
a savings account That is besides
this money found in the garage. He
poured those moneys in there to
satisfy his desire to gamble and
speculate. Why, he used Lindy's
money to buy sweepstake tickets with!
What do you think Of that?
Now, men and women of the jury,
II we do not prove these facts to you,
why, you acquit him, you acquit him /;
if we do not prove 1hem to you, you
acuuit him. But if we do, as We are
confident we will be able to, and as
we expect to, let me just tell you,
representing the State of New Jersey,
that this State will not compromise
with murder or murderers. We de-
mand the penalty Of murder in the
first degree.

SLIGHT LOSSES

Pressure on the new crop months
in the early session soon extended
itself to the old crop, and slight
declines were registered in cotton
futures all along the line.
The Far East and the South
we're heavy sellers in the distant
months and the small quantity
of pool buying in these months
was insufficient to sustain the
market. Locals we're also liquidat-
ing. The trade was buying and
some purchasing came in from
Liverpool and from wire houses.
May continued steady despite the
decline in its companion month,
July.
= Toward noon the market was
still holding in its straightjacketed
course. July was quoted at 1901,
off 3; october 11.74, off 3, and
December 11.78, off 3 points.

Cnem nave been
Lewis HansS driven down to
such low prices that they have
discounted adverse conditions.
2. When active initiation de-
veIopS, it will bring a squirt of
industrial activity, and business
will seem good for a while.
This would put an end to
political attempts to force rates
down.
3. This stimulation would also
furnish increased traffic, which
is what railways and utilities
most need in order to show bet.
ter earnings. Thus initiation
would tend to strengthen these
stocks along with others.
4. Labor is a relatively small
item in the utility business, so
that rising wages and labor diff
ficulties would not be any great
handicap.
5. Bills to the utilities are pay.
able monthly, so that there is
little likelihood of loss through
decline in the value of out
standing accounts.
6 Industrial power rates are
on different footing from do.
nestle rates. While the latter
are likely to be held down. in.
dustrial rates are determined by
negotiation, and can be changed
rather readily. AS the costs Of
competing facilities would rise
during initiation, utilities would
raise industrial rates.
7. The fixed charges" of rail.
way and utility companies are
relatively large. They represent
debt payable in dollars. Thus
the stakeholder gets an equity
in a debtor company, and, as
debtors are supposed to benefit
by initiation, the stockholders in
such companies may benefit.
At first glance, this list Of
points seems very strong, and
indeed it has some merit.
It soon becomes apparent. how
ever. that much discrimination
is required in applying them. In
the first place, several of the
points do not apply to railways,
as for example, the point con-
corning relatively unimportant
labor.
The foregoing points must be
applied with care and judgement
and allowance be made for the
different positions of different
companies. Some companies
have heavier funded debt than
others. Some utilities have more
industrial power business than
others. 1t would be dangerous
to generalize.
In general, however, it may be
said that most railways, and
some utilities, are chiefly de-
pendent upon the "heavy indus
tries" for traffic, and that in.
flatiOn tends to keep such in
duStries in check. Investment
in capital goods cannot thrive
under initiation.
In general, too, railways and
utilities are heavy consumers of
fuel and materials which are
likely to rise with initiation, while
their rates at best merely hold.
In general, railways and utilities
do not present the possibility Of
profits on inventories, that some
industrial and mining companies
have.
Finally, under present condi-
tons, utilities and railways are
constantly subject to especially
drastic regulations, heavy taxes.
and competition that is aided by
the Government.
It seems to me that the points
in favor of these companies are of
interest as suggesting possibilities
in particular cases. Aside from
the utility bill pending in Con-
greSS, some utilities would probably
do well under initiation. A few
railways have made good earnings
throughout the depression.
But in general, I would not
begin any quest for Imitation
