Two nights and a day Grant Smith
and his two men, one sick with agae,
wandered, lost, over the Washington
desert before they found their camp.
This was but q minor incident IN the
long chain Of tragedies, just one Of the
casual experiences that made up the
day OF the early cattleman Eventually
they rounded up the 1900 head Of wild
horses, drove them to Euphrata, and
loaded them there, providing for stop
overs at Spokane, Butte, Miles City
and on through the east, for feed and
water Mr.. Smith had an agreement
with the agent at Euphrata that, at all
stops along the line, low watering
troughs be constructed for his Wild
horses who could not be induced 70
approach the ordinary high troughs
in the stock corrals. But the agent was
careless, the agreement was verbal, and
1t was broken.

mistake. He had been told that facil-

PAY MEASURE.
PUSHED BY
SENATORS
Civil Service Group Starts
Hearing Tomorrow on
Jan. ! Restoration

Senator William j. Bulow CD
Of South Dakota, chairman OF the
Senate Civil Service Committee,
today announced a meeting of
his group tomorrow to begin con-
Sideration of the proposal for
January / restoration of Govern
ment pay and other important
Civil Service matters.
The South Dakota Senator in
dicated that he is anxious to get
the full pay bill reported to the
Senate, so that early action by
the upper House on that measure
would be possible.
It has been learned that a ma
jority of the committee favors en-
actment of the proposal made by
Senator Pat McCarran CD of
Nevada, who has been the cham
pion of legislation seeking to aid
Government employees.
Senator McCarran today said
he is not sure what method he
will follow in his effort to get
100 per cent pay restored, effec-
tive January ].
He pointed out that the House
Already has passed the Independ-
:.e1t Dffices' Appro oprf6tions bill and
that will be the first supply meas
ure to come before the Senate.
The Nevada Senator is a mem
Der of the Senate appropriations
subcommittee on the independent
offices bill and indicated that he
is considering an attempt to have
the appropriations committee put
a January l restoration amend
n1ent on that bill.
If this effort fails, he said, he
probably win give up an attempt
to have the legislation written
into an appropriations bill, but
will launch a heavy campaign to-
ward enactment of the separate
measure which he now has pend
ing before the Civil Service Com
mittee.

FLEMINGTON, N. j., Jan. IA
G.N.SO.-The story of a tinid lit
tie Bronx IN. " artisan, that he
built both the peculiar ladder
used in the Lindbergh kidnapping
and the crude box in which DR..
John F. Condor delivered the $780,
600 ransom money, today proved
bombshell in the ranks of coun-
sci for the State and defense alike
at the trial of Bruno Richard
Hauptmann for the murder of the
Lindbergh baby.
Abe Samuelsohn, a woodcarver
whose shop is only a block from
DR.. Condon's home, declared he
built the ladder for Hauptmann
and three others-two men and a
woman-in February, 1882, less
than a month before the kidnap-
ing. He said he constructed the
ransom money box during the fol-
lowing month for DR.. Condor.
Attorney General David T. WI
lentz quickly admitted Mr.. Sam
uelson was the builder of the box,
though this fact had not before
been brought out by the State.

Declares
He Built Ladder

4But he refused to comment on
Mr.. SamuelSon's assertion he made
the ladder.
Built Ransom Box
When DR.. Condor was on the
witness stand last week, he was
vague about where he had ordered
the ransom box built, though he
was extremely specific in the rest
of his testimony. He said he had
a Bronx woodcarver build the box
according to specifications given
in one of the ransom notes, but
he declared repeatedly under in
SiStent croSS-eXamination by Chief
Defense Counsel Reilly that he
could not remember exactly where
the woodcarver'S shop was located.
Mr.. SamuelSon said he and Con-
don are friends. Mr.. Wilentz said:
eve have known for some
time that Mr.. SamuelsOhn con-
Structed the ransom box. AS
for his statement about the lad
der, I have no comment at this
time"
Asked why DR.. Condor didn't
testify where the box was built,
Mr.. Wilentz said:
"Dr. Condor had temporarily
forgotten the wOOdcarver'S ad-
dress"
The attorney general would not
say whether he would call Mr.,
Samuelsohn as a witness. Mr..
Wilentz contends the kidnapping
was a one-man job.
Both Sides Confused
Mr.. Samuelsohn, who told his
story to reporters in his Bronx
home last night, said he had kept
silent until Hauptmann'S arrest
because he feared gang reprisals
if he talked.
But after the German carpenter
was trapped, Mr.. Samuelsohn
said he told his story to Assistant
District Attorney Edward F.. Bres-
lin, of the Bronx; Capt. J. j.
Lamb, of the New Jersey State
police, and two Department of
Justice agents. They took him to
Trenton to view the kidnap lad.

It was found, however, that the
