(Continued from Page 1.) major offenses, provided against by federal law. Public opinion demands such action as an indis- pensable safeguard to individual and community safety. '
 ''Lynching is a fragrant violation not of one, but of many, constitu- tional rights It is open anarchy. The victim is seized and held with out warrant by lawless mob. He is frequently taken from the cus- tody of peace officers, with their active or passive sanction. Ac- cusation is conviction. All rights or fair hearing and trial are brut- ally and summarily denied.
 "The victim Is often transported from state to state. Usually by torture, which permits no alterna- tive, he is driven in utter misery to meaningless self indictment. Fi- nally, he is put to death, with young and old indiscriminately looking on, or participating, under crime breeding circumstances of indescribable savagery."
 Sen Robert F. Wagner, D., N. r., co-author of the bill, told the com- mittee:
 "The lynchings perpetrated dur ing the past two years constituted almost every type of infamy that blot the record of civilization.
 When mass brutality is made a festive occasion, the minds and hearts of the young and innocent are filled with venom.
 'The bill which Senator Costigan and 1 have introduced does not de- Dr:ve the states of their original responsibility or capacity for law enforcement by so much as tithe. On the contrary, it gives them add ed incentives to do their duty"
 Describing herself as a "south- crn woman," Rep Caroline O'Day, D.. N. Y., friend of Mrs Roosevelt. said women do not need or want to be protected by such bar barous means.
 "A few years ago I was in South Africa, and l visited all the towns on the cast coast" Mrs O'Day said. "The racial problem of the South Africans face is far more difficult than ours. I can't tell you the hor- TOT our lynchings evoked among those people, especially over the policy of condoning it."
 H. L. Mencken said mo govern ment pretending to be civilized can go on condoning such atrocities. Some states have failed In their ef- forts to punish these offenses and others have not honestly tried"

New York, Feb 14-UP)-An | erroneous news dispatch announce ing that the Hauptmann jury had returned verdict making a sen- tence of life Imprisonment man- datory was broadcast last night over nationwide hookups of both the National Broadcasting com- pany and the Columbia Broadcast ing system 14 minutes before the true verdict was announced by the Jury foreman at 10:44 D. m.
 The bulletin was sent to radio stations by the press radio bureau. which had received 1t from the As sociated Press at 10:30 D. m. thir- teen minutes later the Associated Press killed" the erroneous story on it's wires and at 10:45 sent out the correct version, which was then broadcast over the two big chains
 The incorrect bulletin caused confusion throughout the country It was announced in theaters, res taurants and clubs and appeared in "extra" editions of newspapers which reached the streets before the error was corrected.
 In a statement sent to broadcast ing companies and members news papers last night the Associated Press said
 When word that a verdict had been reached in Bruno Richard HaEptmann' trial for murder of the Lindbergh baby flashed through the courtroom confusion reigned briefly.
 Tn transmitting the verdict from one part of the courthouse to an- other, the Associated Press report of the decision was garbled and first word to reach waiting news papers was that the jury had found Hauptmann guilty. but with a recommendation for life sentence instead of the death penalty"
 A member of the Associated Press staff in the courthouse at Bennington explained the error as a mechanical failure"
 'It was more a mechanical fail- ure than anything else,' he said. "The wrong signal was given"
 James Barrett, head of the press radio bureau in New York, said that the Associated Press wire running into his bureau carried the flash" announcing that a life sen tence was mandatory at 10:30 p. m. This was four minutes before the jury entered the box at 10:34 and 13 minutes before Justice Thomas w. Trenchard mounted the bench at 10:43. Barrett said he gave this material to the radio chains as fast as he received it and that he gave them the correct verdict when 1t ca me in at 10:45.
 The National Broadcasting com pany was sending out a prelim- mary bulletin about the Haupt- mann case when the incorrect bull letin was received and was an- Eounced at once over the two oast-to-coast networks. Another program on the air at 10:45 was interrupted to permit announce ment of the correct verdict.

the charge to the jury" Reilly gaiu. Ut appears to be the prac- tlce in New Jersey for a judge to comment on the evidence. Every bit of evidence that might have been helpful to the prosecution was brought out in the courts charge.
 'HThe defense evidence was met by infection of the voice, finger pointing and pauses.
 "In all my experience I never heard charge that demanded a conviction as much as did this charge.
 eThe defendant was faced with mob psychology plus the prestige of the Lindbergh family. Take. for example, the retaining of Judge George K. Large by the prosecu- ton. He is a banker, president of the Hunterdon County National bank and president of the Hunter don County Bar association.
 '.In addition, his wife is the so- cial leader of this section of the county. He was only hired for Background.
 sBut emphasize this. Nobody placed Hauptmann in New Jer- sey."
 Reilly was tired, a different Reil- ly from the man who had blus- tered through six long weeks of legal battle.
 Telcgrams Back Him
 In his Brooklyn office, he said, there were 400 telegrams assuring him there had been a miscarriage of justice.
 C. Lloyd Fisher, local defense counsel and confidant of Haupt- mann, to-day expressed misgivings about the possibility of an appeal.
 The money for such a purpose will have to come soon," he said. s'It takes a great deal and l don't know where we are going to get it. But am still convinced of the innocence of Hauptmann."
 Reilly scoffcd at the suggestions five defense witnesses were to be indicted for perjury on the basis of their testimony during the trial. My witnesses committed no perjury as far as 1 know," he de- clared.
 Egbert Rosecrans, associate de- fensc counsel, announced that the defense would make a poverty plea" in an effort to have the state furnish hem with printed records of the estimony. |.
 There would be a worldwide ap- peal asking for contributions of new evidence, he said.

SEARCH GOES ON
 FOR ETTA REEL

Oxford. Mass, Feb 14-UP)- Discovery of new and potentially valuable evidence today spurred the investigation into the disap- pearance of Miss Etta Riel. State Detective Edward J. Sherlock was due here from Boston today to cooperate with sleuths already on the scene.

The new evidence reportedly brought into the case two Oxford girls and young woman of Wor- cester. the names of all being withheld temporarily.
 Police believed the distribution of 2500 circulars bearing Miss Reil's description might produce a clue to her whereabouts.
 Yesterday detectives re-question- ed for more than two hours Henry (Red) Swain, 20-year-old former Bates college student, accused of being the father of Miss Riers daughter, now four months old.

Your Income Tax
PERSONAL EXEMPTIONS

In addition to the personal ex- emption of $1,000 for single per- sons and $2,500l for married per- sons living together and for heads of families, taxpayer is entitled to a credit of $400 for each de- pendent, defined by income tax law and regulations as person under IS years of age or incapa ble of self-support because mentally or physically defective. The term mentally or physically defective" means not only cripples and those defective but persons in i'll health and the aged.
 In order to be entitled to the $400 credit, the taxpayer must furnish the dependent his or her chief support. The credit is based upon actual financial dependency and not mere legal dependency. For example. a father whose chill dren receive half or more of their support from a trust fund or other separate source is not entitled to the credit.
 Neither relationship nor resi- dence is factor in the allowance of the $400 credit for a dependent. The taxpayer and the dependent may be residents of different cities. If husband and wife both con- tribute to the support of dn- pendent. the $40O credit may be taken by the one contributing the chief support. and may not be divided between them.
 A single person who supports Tn his home an aged mother is en- titled not only to the S400 credit for a dependent, but also as the head of family. A widower sup porting under similar circum- stances a dependent child under Is years of age also is entitled to the personal exemption of s2.500 as the head of family, plus the $400 credit for dependent.
 Under the Revenue Act of 1894 both the personal exemption and the credit for dependents are re- quired to be prorated where the status of the taxpayer changed during the year.
