 (COpyrighs, 1885, ty United Pressl
 Bennington, N. J.. January a. <Ur1 - New Jersey Co prepared to launch q crushing attack upon Bruno Richard Fauptmann's story of how he came into posssession of fhe Lindbergh ransom currency. the United Press learned today.
 When Hauptmann has complet- cd his denial of the Kidnapping and murder of Charles A. Lindbergh. IT,, the state is ready to show. through cross examination and with at least 10 rebuttal witnesses, not only that he had possession O. the money long before Isidor Fisch left this country to die in Germany, but that he set himself up as Q petty banker to his friends, using the proceeds from the Lindbergh extortion as his capital.
 The businesses into which he put the money fulfilled two purposes. the state will contend:
 They enabled him to get rid of discriminating bank notes. with teIi-tale serial numbers, and ob- tain ''good'' money in return.
 2-They gratified his acquisitive seflse - tue sense that Attorney General David T. Wilentz de- scribed in court as his love of money, monsey, money!"
 The clima < of the amazing story that has been unfolded in IS days of trial may be expected to come when HauptInann tries to blame Fisch, his former friend, known to a circle of Germans in Yorkviile and the Bronx as "the poor little fur cutter'' for the extortion.
 Rebuttal witnesses, including members of the Fisch family, will show that a strange relationship existed between Hauptmann and Fisch, and that 1t was Hauptmann who was leader: the dominant character.
 Hauptmann lent considerable money to other friends - on the Understanding that he was to get 1t back with interest - but he lent the largest amount to Fisch. What Ffsch did with the money remains to be told, but it E certain that his trip home to Germany was fi- nanced through ransom bills. Af- ter his death Hauptmann put in d claim" against his estate for {7.500.
 Hauptman told other frlends, moreover, that he had lent Fisch more money than that, and that Fisch owed him as much as 314,000.
 Fisch died pennfaess.
 The prosecution asserts Haupt- mann's claims were an advance a1ibi, set up to meet the contin- gency of arrest.
 The state already has met Haupt- mann's anticipated story, in part. through Cashier Cecilia Barr, who swore yesterday that Hauptmann cazhed a $5 ransom bil lat Loew's Sheridan theater, in New York city: That occurred in November of 1888 = two weeks before Fisch left for Europe, newer to return.
 Hauptmann claimed he discov- cred the ransom money, Tin Fischs shoe box" late in 1894.
 < The defense was not unprepared. It had in Pennington a friend of Hauptmann known as Gerta Hen ,kel. who is prepared to testify that she saw Fisch give number of gold notes to Hauptmann.
 New Jersey was determined 10 place in evidence the homemade ladder by which it claims Haupt- mann climbed to khe nursery win

STATE WITNESSES

Alleged 'Sitck-up' ACcOm- pIices to Be Tried in
 City Court

A situation of unusual interest will be brought about in city court to-mOrrOw morning when two men l whose testimony was mainly rec l eponslble for sending Joseph Te-
 lescO, S2. to state prison for long term, after a superior court trial this term, are themselves ar raigned before the lower tribunal on chcargeg of robbery with viO- lence. The two are Peter Ger vone, alias Terezone, alias Sher- wood, 24, of New Britain, New Haven and New York, and Nicholas SOrriero, S4, of Waterbury. one of the leading reasons for the interest attachced to the ar- alignment of the two men to- morrow Is the statement made in superior court last week by States Attorney Lawrence L. Lewis that Cervone and Sorriero woulud re- |ceive no leniency for turning states evidence, and the mems own pro- testations that they were testifying only that the truth might be known.
 sorriero and cervone will be arr raigned for robbery of a gas sta ton at North Main and Elizabeth streets early last month, crime which they have admitted but charged was planned by Telesco, the master mind" Sorriero will
 also be charged with the holdup of the Coe grain store on North
 Main street, a crime which he has already admitted in city court but which he claimed was planned by
 Patsy Giglio, whose cases is now lin the upper court.
 Sorriero and Cervone were ar.
 rested in the police roundup last month, Cervone being picked up in New Britain. Since their arreS. both have bene ehld at the po-
 lice station for lack of s10,80O l bonds.

(Continued from Page 1.) suspended when they reported yes- terday morning. Other employees said that they had been told that there would be no more work for them at the factory in the fu- ture. Employes generally agree that the impression given them was that the factory was definitely closing down for good.
 It is known that the Chase Com panies are financially interested in the Steele & Johnson Co.,. While the Kennecott Copper interests are also understood to be stockholders in the firm. Benjamin l.. Coe is president of the company, while Benjamin s. Coe Is the secretary treasurer. According to the city directory, the firm is capitalized at $300,000.
 Long Active In City
 Closing down of the factory would be q severe blow to the in- dustrial life of the community. Lo- cated at South Main and Mill streets, the firm has long been one of the most active in the city.
 The Steele & Johnson Manu- featuring Co was established in 1857, being incorporated in March of that year. The business was removed to it's present location in 1874 and the firm expanded great ly during the years that followed. Elisha Steele was the founder of the company, and headed the business until his death in 1875.
 In the period since the beginning of the century, the company has erected many buildings on it's South Main street property. Brass products have been the main out put of the factory with the en- phasis being placed In recent years on the manufacture of so called novelty goods" and electrical lamps and fixtures. Other pro- ducts have been screw machine products, supplies for the plumb- ing and electrical trades, and other brass products.

tie after battle between state and defense, objections by the defense to the entry of the girls lawyer in- to the case, and pointed comments by defense that the Brazil girl was appearing as witness under force and duress, and one open inference that her testimony was untrue.
 TamperiDg Charge Delayed
 As a result of the defense'a un- expected move, no testimony on the witness tam pering charge, which was to be heard to-day, was taken, the continuance till late in April being given instead. Even if Churchelow and Burns are found guilty in superior court of break ing into Armour's and stealing $3,- 900 from a safe, on which charge they were bound over yesterday afternoon after the longest city court hearing in recent history, dis position of the tampering charge will rest with city court. Should the two be acquitetd in superior court, the tampering charge will probably be dropped.
 Girl Was Real Evidence
 The Brazil girl, whose real name is Jennie Brasnicki, and who hailed originally from Union City provided the main bulwark of the states case yesterday, helping 8 great deal to bring about the bind over of Burns and Churchclow. Burns admitted the "job" to her, she testified, and gave her money, while Churchelow also gave her money. She further claimed that Churchelow had handed Q large

JAP GOODS BAN
ASKED IN PLEA

japanese competition, the crop
curtailment program and process
ing taxes were assailed yesterday
by New England Democratic rep
resentatives in a final appearance
before the Presidents Cabinet
committee.
Declaring immediate ellie I
measures to curtail Japanese tex
tile imports are imperative, Rep
resentative Mccormack, of Mass
achusetts, warned the effect of
the AAA regulated production
program has been to encourage
increased production in Egypt
and Brazil, and may result in
Russia importing cotton.
He asserted emphatically there
is no desire in the New England
delegation to injure the farmer,
but expressed belief that the
processing tax can better be met
through a subsidy paid directly
from the Treasury.
Other speakers cited the wide
differential in wages Of American
and Japanese textile mill workers
and the inability of American
manufacturers, operating under
MIRA, to compete with cheap
foreign labor.
The group included Representa-
tives Connery. Healey, Russell
and Higgins, of Massachusetts,;
Koppleman, Citron and Stanley,
of Connecticut, and Hamlin and
Moran, of Maine.
