DOLE CASH GONE,
RELIEF CONTINUES.
Direct Payments Already
Made Beyond Limit Set
by Congress.
Nv thA Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The money Congress earmarked for
the dole is all gone, but the New Deal
has power to continue such relief pay
ments a while longer out of Other
funds.
OfHcial figures disclosed today that
out of sA.ss0 000,o00 appropriated last
session for work and relief. $685.
100000 already has been allotted to
direct relief (popularly known as the
dole). This is $9,000,000 more than
Congress set aside for the purpose.
However, the Roosevelt administra-
ton does not have to observe the con-
gressional earmarking strictly. 1t has
wide powers to shift funds from one
category to another.
Vital Questions Raised.
With grants still to be made to %
States before the dole is due to end
December l, the figures raised these
questions:
Will there be further dipping into
the $4,000, 100000 works funds for di-
rect relief, making that much less
for jobs?
If so, will the remaining works funds
be sufficient to carry out the plan to
give 100000 persons jobs by the end
OF this month at pay conforming to
existing work-relief wages?
Will direct aid be continued after
the December deadline if State and
local authorities plead insufficient
funds to take over the burden?
There was no definite answer at
busy relief headquarters today, but
inquirers were given a hint when Off
cials referred to recent statements by
President Roosevelt and Harry L.
Hopkins, relief chief.
Mayors Given Pledge.
The President told a mayors con-
ference the Government does not
propose to let people starve."
The city fathers applauded this
statement, apparently interpreting it
as indicating further Federal aid If
the situation required.
Hopkins said: THE program de-
pends entirely on what action Congress
will take. I am not going to indicate
an opinion about the funds that will
be required or the number of people
that will need benefits, but am sure
Of one thing, that the Government
and the States apd cities have put
their hand to this plow and that it is
never again going to be taken away"
Latest figures on the works fund, re-
leased today, showed the President had
approved projects valued at s3,841,-
e78,289. But this is flexible list from
which State administrators may select
the ones they desire. 1t does not mean
all of these projects will be carried out.
For example, relief officials said if
business improves to the point where
unskilled and te-collar unemployed
are absorbed in industry in large num-
bers, many projects will be scrapped.

only about 100 miles north of
Diredawa, one of the strategic East
ern Ethiopian cities toward which the
italian southern army is moving.
Some reports have said the northern
invading forces would also seek to
reach Diredawa. thus joining the two
italian Armies at the Adds Ababa-
Djibouti Railroad, on which Dredawa
is located.
The Italians in the north at the
moment were busy building roads,
supply depots, wells and hospitals
apparently for a new push. Their
last important advance into the in
terror took them to Makale, around
which they have been consolidating
their positions.
Italian scouting planes reported a
concentration of Ethiopians south of
Buia, 20 miles below Makale. italian
officers predicted a major encounter
would result soon.
Gratified by Local Devotion.
Halle Selassie on returning to the
capital declared: II have kept my
word by going to the front among my
soldiers. 7 was most gratified at
seeing for myself the loyal devotion
being shown by my troops for their
fatherland and their magnificent
bravery. I believe that with the help
of God our righteous cause will pre-
vail"
One of his pilots said they passed
near Dagga Bur, in the southeast,
hearing steady firing. The Emperor
also visited Diredawa, Jijiga and
Harar and declared himself satisfied
with the defenses at Diredawa.
Sources close to the Emperor said
they believed he had issued definite
battle orders to Ras Nasibu, Ethiopian
southern commander, at Jijiga.
The Emperor brought back arms
taken from dismantled italian tanks
These tanks, it was announced, were
captured while chasing Ethiopians.
Eluding the tanks, the Ethiopian war
riors waited until their occupants got
out then set upon and decapitated
them.
Denial of the Italian report from
Asmara that 1000 Ethiopians were
killed in a bombardment by Italian
planes Monday was made by the Adds
Ababa government. Instead, the
official communique stated, the Ethi-
opian commander In the Makale area
reported 80 killed and so slightly
wounded.
Italy continued its efforts to combat
League sanctions. It was announced
some main avenues in Rome would be
darkened to save electricity.
Archbishop Rosa, in a speech at
Perugia, asked for blessing on what
he termed Italy's attempts to break
the ring thrown about her to prevent
her taking civilization to barbarians.

If Bruno Hauptmann's baby is brought
back to the trial scene "he will have
to stay somewhere else" Mrs Haupt-
mann's landlady said yesterday.
my nerves couldn't stand It," said
Mrs. William Opdyke, who rented her
second-floor front bed room to the
German carpenters wife. He is not
a bad child, but very active. He gets
out of one thing into another"
Mrs. Hauptmann left the baby,
Mannfried, with niece in the Bronx
before the trial opened. His black
perambulator, with a toy dog. a red
ball and neat blue pillow with a COW
er of white crochet inside, stands in
the Opdyke dining room. Nearby is
a newspaper Haunting a streamer
headline, ''Lindy: 1t Was Haupt-
MANN
Mrs. Hauptmann IS a great hand
to read the papers" Mrs. Opdyke said.
But she doesn't mention the trial.
She goes to her room and locks the
door"
1t is spacious, comfortable home

has opened its doors to an accused
mans wife. An overstuffed parlor set
with crochet tides" stands in the
living room. There's a rubber plant
in the dining room, and a ther-
mometer, framed in a forest picture.
Hot biscuits, fried oysters, marble"
cake are comforts Mrs. Opdyke offers
to divert her boarder's mind from the
trial. She takes pride in her baking
and Anna Hauptmann has a hearty
appetite, but" said Mrs. Opdyke, IT
don't think she enjoys her meals
lately"

Lindbergh Interested.

indbergh appeared to be intensely
interested in Reilly's interrogation.
He then demanded why Betty had
not telephoned johnson before coming
to Hopewell.
Il did" she retorted, and explained
she had phoned his boarding house in
Englewood before leaving the Sourland
estate. He was leaving for Hartford,
Conn, the next day, she remembered,
and she wanted to tell him good-by.
The flyer watched every fleck Of the
pointer as the Brooklyn criminal law
yer questioned Miss Cow on aspects of
the house.
Reilly appeared to be trying to dis
Germ where one might send light sig
mails from the house.
There were no lights In the nursery
wing" she said as Reilly asked on the
houses illumination that night.
@. Did you ever tell any one where
the nursery was?
A. No.
@. No one had ever questioned you
where the nursery was?
A. No.
Q. It wasn't generally known where
the nursery was?
A. No.
A five-minute recess was taken at
IL noon.

they had frantically searched the
house.
@. What were you doing?
A. I guess We were all praying for
the return of the baby. We didn't
speak.
@, You all sat there in silence.
A. Yes.
Saw Note on Window Sill.
The young nursemaid also told of
seeing the ransom note on the win
dow sill and of finding a clayish
smudge of dirt on the sheet of the
baby's crib.
Wilentz asked her to describe the
finding of the baby's thumb guard.
Il believe it was about month
after the kidnapping. Mrs. Whately
and I were walking about 100 yards
from the house.
II saw it lying on the ground and
I picked it up"
Q. Was it near the public high
way?
A. Yes.
@. 1t was the same then as you see
it now?
A. Yes.
She took up the little blue cord on
the thumbguard.
1T was knotted just as it is," she
said.
She clutched a tightly rolled hand
kerchief in her clenched hands as the
ordeal went on.
Mrs. Hauptmann watched her, but
without any show of interest. Haupt-
mann was sphinx-like.
Tells of Identifying Body.
Then came the story of the identifi-
cation of the body.
Il went to Trenton" she said.
@. When you got to Trenton did
you go to the morgue?
A. did.
Q. Did you see body there?
A. I did.
@. Whose body was it?
Charles Lindbergh, jr," she said,
with quivering lips.
@. How much did the baby weigh
then?
A. About 26k pounds, and he was
about 80 inches tall.
@. You came here from Scotland
to testify?
A. Yes.
Wilentz then turned her over to
Reilly.
Big and bulky, the chief defense
counsel, started speaking in a very
low voice
@. How old are you?
A. am 80.
He began by probing about her
background, and the places she had
been employed.
She said she was once employed in
Detroit.
@. WherS did you work in Detroit?
A. Several places.
She mentioned four or five places
she held as maid
O. Did you associate with young
men?
A. Yes.
Wilentz objected, and this line of
questioning ceased.
She said she had communicated
with no Detroit young men since leav-
ing there.
Q. Did you ever apply for work
through Hackensack Employment
Agency?
A. Yes.
@. And you were unable to supply
references?
Here Wilentz objected, and Reilly
rephraSed his question.
@. You did not give any references
when you looked for job?
A. No.
@. How did you secure your posi-
ton with the Lndberghs?

This one We couldn't quite close
1t was slightly warped. We closed il
as best We could" she said explaining
that the shutters were closed but not
locked. The window was closed. but
the shutters were only swung to.
Before she left the nursery at
pm, the skinned nurse said she
tucked the child in.
II secured the blankets firmly to

Asked to detail further her move
mentS of the evening, Miss Cow con-
tinued:
Mrs. Whately and I took dinner
in the kitchen. When Col. Lindbergh
came in he spoke to us"
Where was Whately?" Wilentz
asked his witness.
"Mr Whately, the butler, was in the
pantry, I believe"
Did you see him from time to
time?"
AS recall, i UlO
Received Telephone Call.
Later" the nursemaid continued
II received a telephone call from

"Who was the friend?"
Henry Johnson"
She said she saw Ollie Whately
the Lindbergh hcuseman, and Mrs
Whately at frequent intervals in the
servants dining room between 8 ano
9 o'clock before she went upstairs
to Mrs. Whately's room to see 6
dress the housekeeper had bought.
II looked at my watch, it was two
minutes of 10, I said. I must &c

She told how she reached the
nursery.

I didn't turn the light on"
Because you might awaken him?'
Eyes, that's right. then I felt al
over the bed. He wasn't there"
Girls Voice Breaks.
The girls voice broke. Wilentz
waited until she could resume.
Col. Lindbergh, who has shown q
keen interest in all testimony at this
trial, was never more attentive than
when Betty Cow told her story.
He swallowed hard several times
but showed no other emotion at the
touching testimony.
IT turned quickly and ran down
stairs, when I failed to find the baby,
Miss Cow continued.
IT asked Mrs. Lindbergh if she had
the baby. She looked surprised ano
said no.
Then I told the colonel. He ran
upstairs and said nothing, but later
went to the closet for his gun"
And then:
"'Anne, they've stolen our BABY
who said that?" prompted Wilentl
gently.
"The colonel did" Her voice was
trembling, and she was fighting to
keep back the tears. She put down
her head.
The attorney general got her a
glass Of water and she recovered her
composure somewhat before continu-
ing with her story Of how the police
were summoned and Lindbergh
dashed forth into the night with his
rifle.

the nurse went down dumbly to the

wood dock
He concluded with a final burst.
Q. Did you ever visit Violet Sharpe
at the Morrow home?
A. No
@. Did you ever go out with her.
A. No.
She ended her cross-examination
with the vigorous assertion, II never
visited any boat owned by DR.. Condor

She replied in the negative.

her place.
@. Who was the first person to

found the baby gone?
A. Col. Lindbergh, I suppose.
@. About how long was it after
you went in the nursery that the light
was turned on?
A. About five minutes.
@. As you looked around the room,
did you notice anything unusual?
A. I did not look around the room.
I just knew the baby wasn't there.
@. How were the bedclothes, dis
arranged?
A. Very slightly disarranged. The
clothes still had the shape of the
spot where the baby had lain.
Dog Barked at Strangers.
Reilly then pressed for information
about the little dog of the household
and brought out that the Whatelys
had brought and trained the dog.
Miss Cow said anything the Whate-
lys did would not arouse the dogs
suspicion, but she had heard the ami
NAL bark at strangers.
@. Whately was the dogs master,
was he not?
A. Why, no.
Q. Whately brought him there,
didn't he?
A. Yes.
@. Fed him?
A. Yes.
@. Cared for him?
A. Yes.
@. So that anything Mr.. or Mrs.
Whately did was above suspicion to
him?
A. Yes.
Q. Did the dog bark that night?
A. No.
@. Did he ever bark?
A. Oh, yes, indeed.
Shutter Was Warped.
He resumed questioning her about
the ransom notes.
@. Was it tackled to the nursery
window?
A. No, it just lay there.
Reilly ascertained that the nursery
window shutter was warped.
@. You noticed it warped for the
first time, Tuesday night, March J.,
1882?
A. Yes.
@. How many times did you put the
baby to bed?
A. Many times.
@. Have you any accurate recollec-
ton that shutter was never warped
before that night?
A. No. I have not.
Reilly brought out Ollie Whately
was the handy man who fixed such
things about the house.
@. Did you call it to Whately's
attention that night when you came
downstairs?
A. 1t was too late then.
The defense counsel next directed
her to describe the influx Of police
