ACKERMAN NOT
HAUPTMANN He
REVEALS HERE
New Yorker Comes Back
and Tells of Mistake
in His Identity

Bernard Alderman, the man
who was believed afterward to
have been Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann, in seclusion here during a
period of two weeks subsequent
to the kidnapping of Chas. A. Lind
bergh. Jr., came to town yester-
day and called at The Times-News
office to disclose that he still was
Bernard Alderman, and that ne
not only does not travel under an
assumed name, at any time, but
that he still is not the now famous
Teuton, who is alleged to have
called out, "Hey, Dok-tor" on a
certain night at a Bronx, N. T.,
cemetery when ransom money was
turned over by ]. F. (Jafsie) Con-
don, for the return Of the Lind
bergh baby.
Mr.. Alderman, whom several
people believed was Bruno Haupt-
mann incognito, months after his
visit here, and whom Western
Union officials identified as hav-
ing sent kilograms, investigation
of which took place here during
the visit of two federal secret
agents, is a New Yorker, who
spends part of his time in Cali
fornia. On his departure from
here, Mr.. Alderman went to the
west coast.
Mr.. Alderman, in plenty of
good humor, said in the office of
The Times-News: 81 make solemn
statement Pm not Hauptmann."
While the German arraigned as
defendant in the New Jersey case
is a pronounced blond, Mr.. Ack-
erman is not. Mr.. Alderman wears
glasses, also.
With Mr.. Alderman yesterday
afternoon was H. H. Hyder, whose
guest he was and from whom he
rented the Maxwell house, which,
after the Hauptmann sojourn ru-
mors got in circulation, was be-
lieved to have been the place that
"Hauptmann" occupied while in
Hendersonville.

WASHINGTON, March l. (UP).
First attempts since President

deadlock between the White

A few hours after Senate Ma
