Jury Being Picked; State to Show
that Green Sedan and Ladder
Have Vital Points

d
Bruno Richard Hauptmann went on
trial Wednesday in the state Of New
Jersey on an indictment charging the
murder of the infant Charles Al.
Lindbergh, Jr., frst-born son Of the
famous aviator.
In the development of its case
against the taciturn defendant, the
state, it was learned, is preparing to
offer witnesses to testify they saw
car of the description Of Haupmann's
on the road leading to the Lindbergh
estate at Hopewell and in Featherbed
Lane, rough little trail through the
woods a quarter mile back of the
house. It was to this road that the
kidnaper is alleged to have carried
the baby.
Because the green sedan owned by
Hauptmann could not be brought into
the small court room, the state pro-.
poses to drive the machine up to the
door of the Hunterdon county court
house and there demonstrate to the
jury that it was large enough to
carry the ladder. The state also in
tends to use the car in an effort to
identify it as one seen by residents of
Sourland mountain near the Lind
bergh estate on the day and evening
of the kidnapping.
Among the witnesses will be Ben
Lupica, Princeton university student,
who while driving home, encountered
a sedan on the road near the estate
late in the afternoon of March 1,
1882, the date of the kidnapping. A
ladder, the witness has said, was seen
lying across the rear seat of this car.
Selection of the jury initiated the
trial Wednesday, procedure expect
ed to continue the balance of the
week. Anthony M. Hauck, Jr., county
prosecutor, and George K. Large,
special assistant attorney general,
both familiar with the panel of tales
men, will represent the state during
the selection and c. Lloyd Fisher, one
of four defense counsel, will super
wise the challenging for Hauptmann.
The state representatives have dis
covered that twelve persons of Ger
man descent are among the talesmen
and an effort may be made to pre-
vent any of these from serving on
the jury.

Sweet HOLLOW Negro Man Found in Burning
House BrutaILy Dismenbered Last Week

made against Richardson's life.
About three in the morning, the
Richardson house was seen by neigh
bors to be in flames. The grandmoth-
er was spending the night away from
home. Richardson's body was found,
partially burned, but not past recog-
notion as a part of his clothes were
still on him. His head had been knock
ed in, his chest split open evidently
by an axe and his arms cut off near
the elbows. The legs had been hacked
off near the knees, one above the
knee and one just below the knee.
Evidence at the inquest pointed
toward the fact that the youth had
been murdered, put in the house and
then set fire to in an effort to make
his death look as if it had occurred
from burning.
Authorities declare that the cir,
cumstances surrounding the death o.
Richardson look as if they might
conceal one Of the foulest murders
ever recorded in this part Of thu
state.

Congressman DOughtOn and Judge BOWie
GiUen Publicity BY State Newspapers as

Mountain Statesmen Seen by State
Newspapers as Possessing 1886
GubernatOrial Timber

Although neither is known to have
committed himself as to the amount
of consideration he would give his
possible candidacy for the governor
ship Of North Carolina, state political
prophets writing in state newspapers
declare that both U. S. Representa-
tive R. L. Doughton and N. C. Repre-
sentative T. C. Bowie are receiving
favorable comment as being the pos
SCISSORS of the characteristics that
governors are made of.
Both Doughton and Bowie have re-
ceived letters and personal messages
from prominent men in various parts
of the state carrying the assurance
of strong support.
Clyde R. Hoey, silvery-tongued
lawyer of Shelby, is included in the
first list Of probable candidates and
the public is waiting with interest to
see how the prophecies now being
broadcast will materialize.

BOWIE PLANS TO LEAVE FOR
RALEIGH ON SUNDAY, JAN. (

Ashe County Representative 7. c.
Bowie, Sr., will leave for Raleigh to
take up his official duties in the legis-
lature on Sunday, Jan. 6. The General
Assembly convenes next week.
Judge Bowie goes to Raleigh this
year with the avowed purpose of us
ing his strength and brilliant mind to
bring about economical reform fol-
county and state. He favors allowing
the counties refund of certain per
cent of gasoline taxes to be used to-
ward retiring their bonded indebted
ness. This measure would, if passed
help Ashe county as much or more
than any other one measure could.
