A.-(No anSwer)
Hauptmann admitted he owned
a German-American dictionary
but denied with a scornful laugh,
that 1t was the particular die
tionary Mr.. Wilentz held up. He
said:

Q.-You are sure this dictionary
was not taken from your home?
Al tell you I never saw it be-
fore.

This thick (showing about an inch
with his fingers.)

Prisoner Laughs

Hauptmann laughed as he dis
claimed ownership of the volume
which Mr.. Wilentz had marked

Up to this point Hauptmann
had not become excited. although

His voice was in steady, even tone
and marked by distinct accent.

spell wright" A.-W-RI-G-H-T.
Q.-Just like the H G T here in

Producing a black ledger, Mr..

Mr.. Wilentz said:
That's a little weak, say 1t so
the jury can hear you."
1T is"
Page five of the account book

Mr.. Wilentz asked Hauptmann
If he was in court when the

IF the entrance to the WOlgamott

lobby. She recognized the man as
the assistant ianitor.
As she looked al his white,
frightened face, conscious of the
cold perspiration on his forehead,
of the manner in which the night
wind whipped his hair about his
forehead, he screamed the single
word, Murder Then he turned
and ran down the sidewalk as fast
as he could go, the wind at his

some sudden premonition of i'm

toward the lobby Of the building.
She found the elevator open and
deserted. She had remembered
enough Of the manner in which

This confused and uncertain state OF

the cotton growers of the South.
There is ample evidence for believing
that the Aiken county one-horse farmer
presents true picture of the plight OF his
class in the cotton belt. If they raise
enough cotton to pay rent, pay for tertlllZ-
er and have anything at all left, they must
pay the six cents tax on the larger part OF
their crop Probably a majority OF them
cannot pay the rent and fertilizer bill after
paving the tax The things they buy have
increased in price as much as four or i've
hundred per cent. in some cases, while, as
a matter of fact the cotton the one-horse
farmer raises and sells brings him less net
cash than was obtained when the price OF
cotton was FIVE cents pound.
