COURT HOUSE, PENNINGTON,
N. j. Feb. 5.-(UP).-A story of
how an English serving girl from
aristocratic Englewood, N. j., sup
posedly Joined q German fur
worker from the swarming side
walks Of the Bronx to kidnap the
Lindbergh baby was 'unroled yes
terday.
Bruno Richard Hauptmann's
lawyers drew it from witnesses
with brief, sharp questions which
usually could be answered with 4
simple eyes" or mo" Then they
left it there in the court records
to sink into the minds of the
jurors, and passed on to other
matters.
Last night a fog of suspicion
hung over the graves of Violet
Sharpe and Isidor Fisch-one in
Brookside cemetery, Englewood;
the other half a world away in
Germany. Most of the day Ed
ward J. Reilly, chief of the de-
tense staff, worked to make a
well-rounded narrative out of his
theory that Bruno Hauptmann is
sitting here on trial for his life
only because he had the misfor-
tune to know Fisch and to 60 into
business with him.
At dusk Fisch was the same
shadowy person he always has
been. The defense had linked him
to this crime with the words OF
only one witness, and that witness
faltered every time he was asked
to make a clear-cut statement OF
fact.
Peter H. Sommer, a New York
City employee, chung to his tale
that Fisch "might have been the
man" he saw helping Violet
Sharpe on a street car in Man
haitian about four hours after the
Lindbergh child was kidnapped. At
any rate he was positive that this
woman carried golden-haired
child about two years old. That
left Fisch in the gray zone Of
doubt, but the defense then
brought to the witness chair a
Mrs. Anna Bonesteel who added
a sharp, substantial chapter to the
story Of where Violet Sharpe was
on the night Of March 1, 1882,
ond what she Was doing.
So far neither state nor defense
has produced a witness in this
courtroom to tell why Violet
Sharpe raced upstairs in the home
of Mrs. Dwight w. Morrow,
grandmother Of The Hndbergh
baby, and drank pot ne night
when she was told q u police

Navy Yard Claims of 1878 to Be

Residents of the District would
share to the extent Of $8l 900 through
the settlement of long pending claims
against the Government by navy yard
workers if a bill favorably reported

Senate Education and Labor Com

In 1878 workmen in navy yards in
all parts of the country performed
extra labor above the legal day of
eight hours. Their claims for addi-
tional compensation have been passed
on by the Court of Claims, but the
necessary legislation to make the
money available has never been ap-
proprlated.
As long ago as 1910 former PreSi-
dent Taft urged Congress to settle
these claims. Bills to accomplish that
purpose have passed the Senate five
times and have been favorably re-
ported in the House number OF
times, but have never become law.
The total of all the claims is 1892
$50, representing money due to 1850
laborers and mechanics for these ex-
ira hours of labor years ago.

Mrs. Becker, who is chairman Of the

In her statement yesterday, Mrs.
Becker asserted that what she wrote
concerning the book was merely
courteous acknowledgment of it and
not an Endorsement, and that she did
