Santa Claus went over to the office of
Melvin Hazen. president of the Board
of District Commissioners and old
friend of Santa Claus. Commissioner
Hazep went on the air and thanked
the people for what they had done in
making The Star toy campaign a sue

"the picture painted tonight would not

From the Commissioners Office in

Even Santa Claus. busy as he was,
stopped long enough to hear these
beautiful songs. Then, he jumped
into his sleigh, whipped up his REIN

Washington, down the chimneys and
into the living rooms of houses where
slept the little children-a1l awaiting
his arrival.

Yule Message
Text of Address by Roose-
welt at Christmas Tree
Celebration.

The text OF President Roosevelt's
Christmas broadcast to the Nation
yesterday evening follows:
Once more the most joyous Of all
days draws near and again 1t is my
privilege on this blessed eve Of the
Nativity to wish the American people
everywhere merry Christmas.
This is the third time have Joined
in these Christmas eve festivities. We
are gathered together in q typical
American setting in the park here in
front Of the White House. Before me
and around me is an American as
semblage-men and women of all ages
youth and maiden-young children
who know nothing about the cares Of
life-au jubilant with joyous e&pecta-
tions.
Old Spirit Holds Sway.
The night is falling and the spirit
Of other days, too, broods over the
scene. Andrew jackson looks down
upon us from his prancing steed; and
the four corners Of the square in
which we are gathered around the
gaily lit Christmas tree are guarded by
the figures of intrepid leaders in the
Revolutionary War-Van Steuben, the
German: Kosciusko, the Pole. and
Lafayette and Rochambeau from the
shores of France.
This is in keeping with the universal
spirit of the festival we are celebrat-
ing; for we who stand here among our
guardians out Of the past and from
in blood and origin as are the un-
counted millions throughout the hand
to whom these words go out tonight.
But around the manger Of the Babe
Of Bethlehem "all nations are kindred
and tongues" find unity. For the spirit
of Christmas knows no race. no creed, >.
no cline, no limitations of time or
space.
Gave Message Of Peace.
The spirit of Christmas breathes an
eternal message of peace and good will
to all men. We pause therefore on this
holy night and laying down the bur-
dens and cares of life and casting aside
the anxieties of the common day. re-
joice that nineteen hundred years ago,
heralded by angels, there came into
the world One whose message was Of
peace, who gave to all mankind a
new commandment Of love. In that
message Of love and of peace we find
the true meaning of Christmas, and so
I greet you with the greetings Of the
angels on that first Christmas at
Bethlehem which, resounding through
centuries, still rings out with its
eternal message; GLORY to God in the
highest. and on earth peace, good will
to men,"

African Railways.

Many stories are told in East Africa
about the building of the first rail-
ways and the Indians Of Asia, trans
ported in great numbers to build the
railways. Once, an Indian station
master, seeing a lion prowling about
quickly shut himself up in his little
iron-sheeted house and wired out
Lion fighting with station send urgent
succor." At another similar incident,
the station master telegraphed to the
nearest town, Lion roaring round

highway which led to Hopewell.
| Col Lindbergh, who had come into
court during the previous testimony
listened gravely.
About what time was the body
| found" Peacock asked
at runs in my mind as or $50"
He told of the character of the un.
derbrush in which the body wa:
| found. :
@. Describe what you saw.
A. Well / saw the body of child
You could see the foot OF the chile
lying there 1t was pretty well COM
posed-I mean decomposed.
@. See any clothes on the body?
A. think I saw part Of shirt.
@. Any leaves on the body?
A. Around it..
Foot Was Found
Some Distance From Body.
Wilson identified the photograph Of
the scene and told of driving of with
Allen to notify Officer Charles E. vii.
hanson of the Hopewell police.
His direct examination was COM
pleted and croSs-examination was be-
gun by Fisher.
@. There wasn't any path leading to
the spot, then?
A. No. I don't recollect any path
There was dead grass. There was
brush, low, squatty brush.
@. Timber?
A. Some, yes.
@. There was q ditch along the
road?
A. Yes.
@. Weren't there two bitches.
A. Now, I don't know.
@. Mr.. Allen spoke of the body as q
skeleton. Is that the way you found it?
A. Well, I suppose the foot and the
bones were skeleton. He probably no
ticed them.
@. The foot?
A. The foot lay a little way from
the body.
@. Away from the rest Of it2
A. Yes, a little distance.
Fisher asked If the witness recalled
what the weather was in March,
1882, but the witness could not re-
call.
Wilson said Allen had disappeared
only "a few seconds" before he called,
to tell Of his gruesome find.
Fisher asked If the orphanage was
more than half a mile from the spot.
Wilson replied, Probably not;
don't really know. I've only been
there once in my life"
As Lindbergh, sitting only three
seats from Hauptmann, heard the
story of the finding of his baby's
body, he sat rigid.
The two witnesses described the
condition Of the body lying on the
surface of the ground, and several
women in the court room dabbed
handkerchiefs at their faces.
The eyes Of Mrs. Hauptmann glis-
tened and her lined face softened as
the account was given. Even the
comedy relief afforded by Allen un-
der cross-examination could not dis
pei the pathos of the incident.
Sergt. Andrew Zapolsky Of the
State police was then called. He
was one of the three officers who went
to the spot where the body was dis
covered.
He told how he went to the scene
with Hopewell police.
There the Hopewen police pointed
out the body" he said.
@. Arriving at the scene what did
you do?
A. Turned the body over. It had
been lying face downward on its face.
@. Were there any leaves or dirt
on the body?
A. There were some leaves and dirt.
Evening star., 1935-01-17

A part Of the head was bare and some
Of the curly hair showed around the
leaves.
@. Did the body have any clothes
on?
A. 1t had a shirt on.
Q. Did you turn the body over?
A. Yes, sir.
Hauptmann Watches
Lindbergh During Testimony.
zapolsky told of comparing the fea-
lures Of the body. the curls about
the head with photograph of the
Lindbergh baby he carried.
The officer said he returned to
Hopewell and telephoned to the estate
He said he was detailed to bring Will
son and Allen in for questioning.
During Zapolsky's testimony on how
the body looked Hauptn1ann glanced
quickly several times in the direction
of Col. Lindbergh, who sat only three
seats away from him.
Fisher took up the cross s-examina-
tion, bringing out from the be-
spectacled, round-faced officer, that
he was the third man to see the body.
Fisher again attacked the authen-
ITCHY Of the photograph of the body.
Fisher had the witness carefully
describe the condition of the body.
He asked whether the face was well
preserved.
Eyes. It was preserved In the earth.
When we turned it over it was white.
Later 1t turned blue
Zapolsky said he went back to the
site again that day, bringing Inspec-
tor Harry Walsh Of the Jersey City
police, and Lieut.. Arthur Keaten of
the State police.
Found No ChiseI
Or Hammer Near Body.
Fisher. shooting his questions
quickly at the officer, brought out
zapolsky had found no chisel or
tack hammer near the body nor made
any analysis of the dirt.
Zapolsky was asked If he could
identify the face from the picture of
living child.
"Yes. the features were intact"
Fisher then took q different tack.
and brought out again q Catholic
orphanage was about three-fourths of
mile away.

tion seemed to mystify court specta-
tors. who took 1t to mean the defense

Fisher went into Walsh's actions
at the grave.
Q. why did you use . stick?
A. Because the entire body was
veiled with vermin.
Denies Finding
Objects Near Grave.
The persistent young defense at
torney asked If Walsh had found O
newspaper. dated March 1, 1882, a
tack hammer or q broken shovel near
the grave. The attorney general OBJ
jected to the differences" but
Walshs negative answer was allowed
to stand.
Walsh said he had found q burlap
bag at the site.
Fisher switched to the hole the in
Spector made in the child's head when
he lifted 1t with a stick He sought
to get the witness to describe it in
detail. but the inspector stuck to his
brief sentence: THE stick penetrated
the skull"
Fisher asked II he thought the stick
had penetrated the brain.
Evening star., 1935-01-17

A. From the condition of the oody
! doubt there was a brain in 1t.
@. It was badly decomposed?
Walsh told Fisher he had never
known Of st. Michael's Orphanage, a
half-mile from the spot.
Fisher brought out that Walsh did
not know whether the cloth he COM
pared with the garments on the body
was in common use
To Offset Fishers references to the
orpnanage Wilentz brought out from
Walsh that there were a number of
schools in the general vicinity. Walsh
was excused.
Coroner Testifies
OF Finding Of Remains.
Walter A. Swayze, Mercer County
coroner, was the next witness called
He told how he was summoned by
the State police the day the body was
found and how he went to the woods
where the body lay.
@. What did you do with the body?
A. I placed it in a removal grip

Identification of the baby's body. The
defense lawyers have previously said
they will not attack the Identification.
Zapolsky was excused and Inspec-
tor Harry Walsh Of the Jersey City
police took up the story.
@. Did you move the body?
A. Yes. about an inch.
Walsh said he touched the head
with stick.
@. AS a result of that there was a
penetration. Did it make a little
hole?
A. Yes, about the size of a lead
pencil.
@. What did you do next?
A. Cut the clothing from the body.
Inspector Identifies
Baby's Discolored Garments.
The inspector then identified the
discolored little garments, and related
how he brought them back to the
Lindbergh estate. 1t had rained and
the clothes were soaked, so they were
dried before being turned over to Col.
H. Norman Schwarzkopf, head Of the
State police and directing the inves-
tigation.
Walsh said he examined the shallow

side it. He examined the hole, he
said.
Q. What did you find?
A. A quantity of blond hair about

where the head had lain.
Fisher took Walsh for cross-exam-
ination. He had him describe the
dimensions of the shallow grave.
