in anticipation Of the possible

Part of Condon'S current inves-
tigation has had to do with Abe
SamuelSohn, the Bronx cabinet
maker who made the first ransom
money box for Condor and who
said he made a ladder for Haupt-
mann. similar to but not identical
with the one used in the kidnap-
ing, the Journal said.

other 5000 of the alleged ransom
bills for Reichsmarks.
There's nothing new in that,
though" Parker said. Plenty Of
people knew it at the trial, but
everything then was against
Hauptmann.
"A lot of things that were known
then will be coming out now"
ClingS to Alibi
Bruno Richard Hauptmann'S ex.
traordinary alibi at the time of his
arrest with ransom bills in his pos
session, was that Fisch had left
$4,000 of the bills in Haupt-
mann's home before sailing to
Germany.
He clung to the story through
out his trial for the Lindbergh
murder and still adheres to it to-
day in the death house of the
State prison here where he awaits
execution.
While tOday'S reports from Par
ker'S headquarters tend to con.
firm rumorS which have been
floating around several days to
the effect the detective was ready
to pin Fisch to the ransom, per-
sons who are familiar with Par
ker'S methods were Skeptical.
Parker too often has let miSlead-
ing stories get into circulation to
divert attention from the real
paths being followed by his inveS-
legations.
Up to Lindbergh
Whether or not Hauptmann
dies in the electric chair may rest
with Colonel Lndbergh-if a story
making the rounds of the State
capital today can be believed.
According to this report, cred

MISSING LINDY
RANSOM CLUE
REVEALED

NEW YORK, Dec. IL Q.NSO.
To this day. New Jersey and Fed
eral authorities have been un-
able to account for $4,000 of the
$50,000 ransom paid to Bruno
Richard Hauptmann for the Lind
bergh baby, the Evening Journal
says today in copyrighted story
based on hitherto unpublished
testimony given to police soon
after the Bronx carpenters ar
rest.
The police. according to the
newspaper, are still wondering if
perhaps Mrs. Anna Hauptmann
didn't inadvertently give them the
answer to the riddle of the miss
ing money which they were too
slow-witted at the time to realize.
In the first few days after
Hauptmann'S arrest, Mrs. Haupt-
mann was subjected to one Of the
most relentless grillingS in New
York police annals. Following is
her testimony, taken. according to
the Journals account, from the
police records:
Q.-"What did your husband
give you for expenses when you
went to Germany in the latter
part of 1892"
Ale bought for me my
ticket. and then I take $500 in
what we call travel check money.
have also with me an envelope
and money for his mother which
he gives me to take home"
Q.-"What was in the envelope
which he sent to his mother with
you?"
AT do not know. He told he
not to open the envelope because
he wants it should be private and
that there is 10 one-dollar bills
inside. 1t makes a big package
and thick which I carry in my
handbag"
Q.-"Did the customs inspectors
in Germany look into your hand
bag and find this envelope?"
A.A-"No, they do not look and
I do not know to tell them"
Q-"You mean you have never
learned how much money was in
that envelope?"
A.-"No. I do not know"
Q.-"You never once decided to
look inside and find out how
much your husband was sending
to his mother?"
A.-"No. I do not look because
he tells me not to bother"
