BUYING OF S4OO
RADIO BY BRUNO
SWAYED JURORS
Extravaganza After Ransom
Payment Helped Send
Killer to Chair.
BIZ United Press

PENNINGTON, N. j., Feb. 10
The fact that Bruno Richard
Hauptmann, presumably frugal,
hard working man, spent $500 for a
radio shortly after the Lindbergh
ransom was paid, was one of the bits
of evidence that had considerable
weight in condemning him to the
electric chair, Howard v. Briggs,
juror No. II, disclosed today.
HE could have got a fine radio
for less than $780," Mr.. Briggs said.
ANY man who would keep records
of small OUTLAWS of money in little
notebook as Hauptmann did, is
pretty tight with his money. Is it
reasonable to think he's suddenly
spend $500 for radio?"
The juror, a former assessor of
Clinton Township, added that the
testimony of Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh, his wife, his mother-i n-law,
Mrs. Dwight Morrow, and the wood
and handwriting experts also were
factors in the guilty verdict.
when people like the LindberghS
and the MorrowS say something
you've just got to believe them," he
said. "They are highly respected,
substantial citizens and we knew
what they said would be the truth.
Col. Lindbergh is a level-headed,
upright man. He'd have no reason
to identify Hauptmann unless he
was sure he was right"
Mr.. BiggS said the jury never
doubted Lindberghs Identification
of Hauptmann's voice and was
equally impressed by the story told
by Arthur Koehler, the government
expert who traced the wood in the
kidnap ladder to the Hauptmann
attic.
He 1auded Edward j. Reilly, de-
Tense counsel as "a crackerjack
lawyer" and commended his conduct
of the case with the exception of
his attempt to pin the crime on
Violet Sharpe, Isidor Fisch and
Ollie Whateley.
I'VE might have been inclined to
discredit Jafsie's testimony, regard
ing him as eccentric, had it not
been for Col. Lindbergh's faith in
him." the juror said. "Col. Lind
bergh trusted Jafsie and if he did
I don't see why we couldn't"
Most of the 1912 hours in the
jury room were spent examining eX-
hibitS, Mr.. Biggs disclosed.

Legion Backed Proposal to

StirS Battle.

The American Legion backed
measure designed to exclude the
Communist party from election bal
lots will be the subject of a public
hearing Tuesday before the Senate
Elections Committee.
Committee members heard the
bill termed "a weight on the safety
valve of the social boiler" and
dangerous legislation that might
allow a few persons County cleo

Use many citizens"
Rabbi Elias Charry, of Beth Ell
Zedek Temple, and Rowland Allen,

the measure.
1t was pointed out that the
original bill was aimed only at po-
litical parties that advocated over
throw of the government by force.
Amendments in the House would
give county election commissioners
almost arbitrary power to exclude
any new party from the ballot.

TO DELAY
WAR IN AFRICA
UNTIL OCTOBER
Reinforcing of Colonial
Army First Goal of
MuSSoIini.
BgUnfied Press

By United Press
ROME. Feb. 16.-Italy's course in
her dispute with AbySsinia was in
dicated authoritatively today as
combining negotiation for peace
with a long range program for re-
inforcing the Italian colonial army.
Unless there is a grave. unfore-
seen incident which prOvokes the
government to immediate action, it
was understood there is no posi-
bility Of military activity in Italian
SOmaliland before October.
Italy's concern was said to be to
reinforce her ill., colonial force,
mainly of viii Differed native
troops. against raidS by AbySSinian
tribeSmen on the Soms land border
and against a possible mass attack
by -AbySSinian soldiers. The two
italian divisions which are being
modified will go later.
It was said authOTitatively that
any punitive action on a large scale
in retaliation for alleged attacks by
tribesmen could be discounted at
pEtStuL DECduo--
l. Italy has no troops handy for
such a purpose.
?. It would take fully two months
to get a considerable force. properly
equipped with arms, artillery, mu-
nitions and supplies. to the Somali-
land and Eritrea colonies on the
African east coast.
II was explained that all forces
to be sent to the colonies must be
supplied with new equipment. a
process which takes time. The
troops now are equipped for action
in the Alps and on the Venetian
plains. Equipment needed for the
troops is vastly different. COncen-
tration of troops is proceeding but
it is said that any large troop move
ment overseas would necessarily
take months

in SOmaliland. Their mention is

PinOchle Question Box

of 600 and I count $50 and my
opponent counts only 100, do I
win? A-See answer to above
question. The first player to
reach 1000 either through point
count or meld wins.
Off you meld four kings and
four queens at one time, does it
count 240? A-Four kings and
four queens can not be NEEDED
at the same time. Each is a
separate combination and only
one combination can be NEEDED
at a time.
Q-Who gets the trump
turned? A-Player holding a
dix may. upon taking a trick,
exchange it for the trump
turned and score 10 points. If
the trump turned is not so ex-
changed, it goes to the player in
the regular order of the draw,
that is, to the player who does
NOT take the last trick.
Off the last card of the
talon makes a meld in the hand
of the player who draws it, can
that player make the meld be-
fore the cards are picked up
from the table to start regular
play? A-No. Melds can be
made only after taking a trick,
and the player in this case has
no opportunity to take a trick
and thus give him the right to
meld.
Q-Do you have to take a trick
in order to meld the dix? A
Yes. If, however. the dix is used
to take a trick in order to make
a meld, the dix can not be
counted.
Q-Does the second dix also
count 10? Ayes.
Q-After trump sequence
has been NEEDED, can the second
royal marriage be NEEDED to
count 40? Ayes. But they
must be NEEDED together as in
the case of any other marriage.
That is, a single king or queen
of trump can not be melded to
the king or queen in the Sc
quence already played, to
count 40.

HEAVY TOLL IN
FARM ANIMALS
13 Per Cent Decrease in
Livestock Numbers
Barred in Survey.
Bg United Press


WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The in
roads of last summers drought on
the nations farm animal popula-
ton has been revealed by an Ag-
ricultural Department report show
ing a Is per cent decrease in live
stock numbers.
The reduction was more than
twice as large as any on record and
the number of animal units on
farms Jan. l was the smallest this
century.
Nevertheless the total value of all
livestock on farms at the beginning
of the year was $3,102,136,0OO COM
pared to $685. 44,O0O for a much
larger number on farms Jan. 1, 1884.
A decrease in the number and an
increase in the value of each species
were shown.
This is the first time on record"
the department. said, when there
was decrease in every species in
the same year."
The increase in livestock values
over last year amounted to 8 per
cent and was the highest Jan.
value since 1881. Value of each head
for each kind of animal was higher
than a year earlier, the increase
being most marked in the case of
hogs and mules.
Estimated number of hogs on
farms Jan. was 37,0O7,000, de-
crease of 2O,170,OO0 head, or more
than IS per cent. Hogs on farms
were less than at any time in more
than so years.
Cattle and calves totaIed 60,667,-
900, a decrease of 7,523,OO0 head
below Jan. 1, 1884. The total was
the lowest since 1881, but the total
value was $1,278,321 900 compared
to $1,247, 491 900 a year ago.
The department reported milk
production per COW was only 11.39
pounds on Feb. 1, less than has been

City Men on Committee

ON your questions and an
swers of Feb. IA DO you mean to
say that you meld the king and
queen of spades with the pack of
diamonds in one meld and it will
count so if spades are trump and
go if spades are not trump, or
do they have to be NEEDED sep
arately? A They must be
NEEDED separately. Only one
combination may be melded for
each trick taken.
If you meld both queens Of
spades and both jacks of dia-
monds. or in other words double
pinochle. does it count only so
as stated in your official rules?
A-The count system as stated
in the official rules will prevail
in the tournament. Double
pinochle will count 80-NOT
800 as it is counted by some
players.
Q-After you have NEEDED the
four kings can you then make
marriages by adding the queens
and later on use the king Of
trumpS to fill in your sequence?
A-After the four kings are
NEEDED single queens may be
added to each king to make a
marriage. but only one queen
can be NEEDED at a time, to form
a marriage. After four kings
have been NEEDED. the trump
king can be used later on TO I'LL
in the sequence.
Q-SuppoSe both players end a
hand. each with score of $50.
I have the first meld by taking
a trick and meld 20. Is the game
over? Ayes. the game is over
if you so declare it, and you have
correctly reached 1000 points or
more. If. however, you declare
the game over incorrectly and
you do not actually have 1000
or more points, you lose the
game. On this point the rules
read: Winner of game shall be
first player to reach 1000 points
either through point count or
meld."
