FLEMINGTON, N. j., January s.
The following is the presentation in
part of the States case against Bruno
Hauptmann, charged with the muir
der of Charles A. Lindbergh, jr., as
presented in court today by Attorney
General David T. Wilentz of New
Jersey:
Mr.. Wilentz: May it please your
honor, Mr.. Foreman, men and women
of the jury:
A grand jury that was composed Of
citizens of this county has returned
an indictment charging that Charles
A. Lindbergh, jr., was murdered. It
is the law, men and women, as will
be pointed out to you by the court,
that where the death Of any one
ensues in the commission of burglary
that killing is murder-murder in the
first degree.
Cites Legal Provisions.
1t Is also the law, as the court will
point out to you, that If person in
the murder is feloniously stricken in
one county, that is, the blow Is given
in one county, but death ensues in an
other county, Notwithstanding the fact
that the death ensues In the other
county, it is murder in this county
if the felonious striking took place
here, or If the death occurs here.
I just point that out to you, not
that expect it will have any particu-
lar effect, because we are going to
prove that not only the striking but
the death took place in Hunterdon
County. ...-
Now, on the first day of March, 1882,
the State will prove to you that a
very distinguished citizen Of this
country was a resident of Hunterdon
| County and on that day the house
hold. the Lindbergh household, con-
sisted of Betty Cow. Mr.. and Mrs.
Whatley, Col. Charles A. Lindbergh,
his wife, and their only and infant SON
who was 20 months of age-I think
| it was 20 months old. The child was
a happy, normal, jovial, delightful
little tot that age, blue-eyed, curly
headed, blond haired. He had been
playing around that entire day with
the family, and on the night of March
1, 1892, that child was killed; and the
State will prove to you jurors, that
| the man who killed and murdered
| that child sits in this very court room
the gentleman in the custody of
the sheriff's guards right in the rear
of the distinguished members OF the
bar, who make up the defense counsel.
Presence Near Home Charged.
This crime had been planned fol-
some time. This defendant Haupt-
mann had conceived this plan and
had undertaken it, had plotted it.
prepared it, and We will show you
| that by the fact that he was in and
about the vicinity Of this Lindbergh
home on many occasions before a.
well as at the time of the crime.
He came there with his ladder
placed it against that house. He
broke into and entered at night the
Lindbergh home with the intent tc
commit battery upon that child and
with the intent to steal the child
and its clothing And he did. Not
| only with the intent, but he actually
committed a battery upon the child
| and did steal 1t and did steal its

clothing. I will refer to its clothing
and its stealing little while later.
Then as we went out that window
and down that ladder of his, the lad
der broke. He had more weight going
down than he had when he was COM
ing up. And down he went with this
child. In the commission of that
burglary. that child was instan-
taneously killed when it received that
first blow. 1t received a horrible
fracture. the dimensions of which
when you hear about it will convince
you that death was instantaneous.
Getting down there he took the
ladder and about 10 feet away the
load was too heavy.
In the one hand he had the ladder
and in the other he had this bundle,
this dead package to him. The ladder
was of no particular use to him. He
abandoned that Then he proceeded
on his way until he had gotten about
a half mile, the child dead
knowing it was dead, he wasn't q
bit concerned about 1t and there,
three thousand or more feet away and
still on the Lindbergh estate, he
yanked and ripped the sleeping gar
ment Of that child of its body.
Though 1t was cold and raw, he
yanked ripped that sleeping garment
of that child, because he didn't need
the child as we will show you-he
needed the sleeping garment.
Shallow Grave Dug.
Then, of course, at the very first
convenient spot, some few miles away,
he scooped up hastily improvised
and shallow grave and put this child
in face downwards and on he went
on his way to complete the rest of
his plans in this horrible criminal
endeayor.
Well, pretty soon, about 10, o'clock,
the Lindberghs found out that their
child was missing-and you can, OF
course. imagine the excitement, you
can imagine how hysterical some of
the members must have been-and
the first thing, as soon as Col. Lind
bergh heard about it, he Immediately
asked Wheatley to call the police,
and then he grabbed his rifle and
went through the woods, and up and
down the roads, while Mrs. Lindbergh
and the rest of the family looked
through closets, looked here and
there, looked through places they
knew the child would not be-but
just looked, in the hope that springs
eternal in the human breast, and
then, of course, the world knew.
OF course, they didn't know their
child had been murdered. There was
left a note in the room by the de-
fendant, and that note indicated that
the person responsible for this crime
would get In touch with the Lind
berghs again in few days. And he
did.
He wrote Col Breckenridge and in
few days after crying to Col. Breck-
enridge. the world having become
aroused, q very distinguished and
aged educator and scholar and teacher
in the Bronx, in desire to serve So
ciety and in q desire to serve the
Lindberghs, inserted an advertisement

ROOSEVELT GIVES
SPEECH FULL TIME
Bars Self to All Callers as
He Works Alone on
Message.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

Denying himself to all callers, Presi-
dent Roosevelt today devoted his entire
time to completion of the annual mes
sage he is to read to the joint session
of Congress at the Capitol tomorrow
afternoon.
Realizing the importance of this
message. Mr.. Roosevelt is taking more
than ordinary pains with it. He plan
ned to have the job finished by night
fall and to have advance copies ready
for the press about three hours before
he begins reading the message in the
House chamber soon after the noon
hour tomorrow
Mr.. Roosevelt began the final writ
ing at his flat-top desk in his oval
room study on the second floor of the
White House. Announcing he would
see no callers. he also said he would
not leave his work room until the task
was completed. This meant luncheon
served to him at his desk, and possibly
even his evening meal.
Works From Many Notes.
Before him on his desk were many
sheets of scribbled notes as well as
typewriter memoranda. Besides tax
ing great care with phraseology of the
message, Mr.. Roosevelt was eXerciS-
ing considerable thought In arranging
the sequence of the various topics.
Some of his notes were written by
him as early as last Summer, and
afterwards when he was making a
searching study preparatory to the
drafting of this communication to the
Congress Miss Marguerite LIE Hand,
who has been the Presidents private
secretary since he was Assistant Sec
retary of the Navy. and Miss Grace
Tully of the private secretarial staff
are taking turns in recording the
Presidents dictation of the message.
AS usual, the President will not
utilize the facilities of the Govern
ment Printing Office to put his mes
sage into printed form, but will have
it mimeographed at the White House.
1t was said at the White House to-
day that the message would run ap-
proximately 1000 words, instead of
the $500 words announced about a
week ago.
Budget Message Next.
When the message is out of the way
the President will then turn his at
tention to the finishing touches on his
budget message. This document, how
ever, Is virtually completed and the
task of making it ready for publication
will be a simple one. Mr.. Roosevelt
also has before him a rough draft of
a so-called legislative program to fol-
low during the present session.
At the top of this legislative program
in the Presidents handwriting are a
number of notations dealing with the
soldiers bonus.

ITALY AND FRANCE
PLAN PEACE PACT
Laval Leaves to Meet Mus.
soIini on Central Euro
pean Treaty.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, January 3-Pierre Laval.
former premier, who stepped in as
foreign minister when Louis Barthou
was shot down at Marseille, leaves
tonight for Rome with tentative
draft of a Franco-Italian agreement
to keep Central Europe at peace.
Problems purely between France
and Italy also are expected to be
settled when Laval meets Mussolini.
Documents which the two are ex-
pected to sign, it is understood, pro-
vide first for an assurance Of Austrias
independence and plan to guarantee
the security of Central Europe,
A second object is the settlement
of Franco Italian colonial qustions in
Africa.
Agreement Reached.
An agreement in principle was
reached in many long distance tele-
phone calls between Paris and Rome
by which Laval was permitted to visit
Premier Mussolini before he attends
a session of the Council of the League
Of Nations at Geneva, January IL.
After Laval's return from Geneva
he intends to visit London, perhaps
with Premier Pierre Flandin, for a
further discussion with Sir John
Simon, British foreign secretary of
European problems.
The primary document on which
II Duce and Laval will negotiate, it
is understood, provides that Austrias
neighbors mutually guarantee their
own political independence and ter
ritorial integrity along with that of
Austria, following lines of article 10
of the League of Nations covenant.
Austria has agreed. it was under
stood, to accept Yugoslavia, Czecho-
slovakia and Rumania among the
guarantors Of her independence, de.
spite an earlier reluctance to do so.
Consultation Urged.
Pending adhesion of the neighbors
to the convention, France and Italy,
with the support of Great Britain,
it was reported, would be asked to
consult together in the event of
sudden menace to Austria's independ-
ence.
Laval will be four days in Rome
working out the accord on which the
late Barthou spent so much effort.
Differences between Laval and Mus
solini were cleared away yesterday in
telephone conversations between the
capitals and the foreign minister de-
cided suddenly to make the trip.
Hitler Hand Seen.
ROME, January Op.-Belief was
expressed in diplomatic circles today
that Adolf Hitler was responsible for
the decision of Foreign Minister Pierre
Laval of France to leave tonight for
Rome to negotiate for pact securing
Austrian independence and Central
European peace.
Fear was growing, these sources said
that Hitler, confident of success in the
forthcoming Saar plebiscite, might
turn his attention to union with
Austria.
Count Charles de Chambrun, French
Ambassador to Italy, was reported to
have told Laval by telephone 1T is
now or never"
