UNKNOWN TO
HOFFMAN

NEW YORK, Feb, 3 -Q.N.20
Before returning to New Jersey
early today after attending the
annual dinner of the New York
chapter Of the Baseball Writers
Association, Gov. Harold Hoff-
man was asked about reports that
he had promised to name an "ac-
complice" of Bruno Richard
Hauptmann in the murder of the
1indbergh baby. He replied:
There's nothing to it. The
people who spread that story
must have used Q Ouija board on
the small statement I gave out
yesterday afternoon" .
According to the reports the
governor was to name the accom-
pIce" to Col. H. Norman Schwarz-
kopf early this week when the two
men hold their first conference on
the reopened investigation into
the famous crime. The suspect,
it was said, answered the descrip-
ton of the Stoop-shouldered man
who dropped handkerchief out
side st. Raymond'S Cemetery in
the Bronx the night Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh and DR.. John F. Con-
don paid $4,000 for the return Of
the baby.
Admits Nothing New
The governor declined to an
Swer any more questions con-
corning the progress of his in
veSttgation, but admitted there
was nothing new" ,.'
The Evening Journal in an
exclusive story today declared
the governor wants to make good
his threat to order DR.. Condor
taken into custody for question.
ing, but fears q million-d dollar
lawsuit for false arrest, which
has been threatened by the aged
educators two sons, both attor-
neyS.
The journal added, however,
that should Colonel Schwarzkopf
ask Condor to return from Pan
anna because the police need his
aid, the Bronz educator will i'm
mediately set sail, will submit
to questioning and there will be
no talk Of 3 lawsuit.
The Trenton statement given
out by the governor was:
II have assigned to the State
police one jOb-tO get all other
persons connected with the
Lindbergh crime. 1 never repre-
sented that I had new evidence.
I recited from the record old
evidence that either shows there
were other persons involved or
that some of these States wit.
nesses wer not telling the truth.
SAYS JOB UNFINISHED
"The job, on the basis Of evil
dence that is already in the
hands Of State police, is unfin-
ished. I want it finished be-
cause I do mot believe the people
win be satisfied until there Is q
complete solution. If, after
nearly two years, Hauptmann
could be picked up through the
alertness Of . gasoline station
there is no excuse for the belief
that the apprehension Of other
guilty parties is impossible.
"If this nt-be-dOne attitude
had prevailed a year and a half
ago Hauptmann would never
have been arrested. Ninety per
cent of the people do not believe
this crime was committed solely
by one man, and neither do the
enforcement officials. No ef-
ficient police official will say
Il give up with such abundant
evidence at hand supplied by
his own witnesses"

WINS OVER WAKEFIELD
When Mr.. Hersholt met the
press at a hastily arranged recep-
ton in the Variety Club before
his bow on the Vallee program,
his pockets were stuffed with tele'
grams from Hollywood.
On Wednesday night they pre-
viewed his most recent starring
picture, "Sins of Man." at Graf
mann's Chinese theater in Los
Angeles, and Edward G. Robinson
reported by wire: Audience was
held spellbound by your magnifl.
cent performance. It was one OF
the finest have ever seen on
stage or screen. I ruined two good
handkerchiefS over it. Congratu-
lations." The others were in a
similar hat-in-the-air vein.
"Sins of Man" expresses Pro
Queer Daryl Zanuck'S belief that
Hollywood can turn out a good
picture, and a money-making one,
without a mite of ance.
There is no So-called love interest
in this feature, no feminine al
lure. Just a good story and, as
Mr., Hersholt hopes, good acting.
The Washington times., 1936-05-08

Originally "Sins of Man" was
entitled COB" Then they de-
cided that was too much like a
biblical tag, and they changed it
to Turmoil" This suggested
labor trouble or war, and, so
''Sins of Man" it became, when
completed.
Very soon Jean Hersholt hopes
to be the star of THE Music
Master for Metro oldwyn. Mayer.
David Warfield, who starred in
this play for David Belasco. owns
the picture rights and the per-
forming rights for radio.
NURSE TO ASSIST
Mr.. Warfield immensely
wealthy and a heavy stakeholder
in Loew's Inc. and MG-M, has
stubbornly refused to release the
famous play unless he could be
assured the actor who would play
Won Barwig would do the most
famous Warfield role full justice.

drama, with Henry Hull, the origi-

SPA AIN IS SPLIT

Two Great Armies March. ing Toward Each Other;
 Battle is Very Near
(CcpyrIsht, losS. by United Prcss)

Copyright, Io36. by United PrcsS)
 The Spanish rebellion, now ap- preaching c national state of chaos, seemed near It's climax today.
 A rebel army marched southward and a government army marched i1ortnWard for what was expected on both sides to be the decisive bat tle.
 Americans and other foreigners were feared fin great danger in some coastal ports. The United States battlcship Oklahoma was rcfucllcd and ready to leave Cherbourg, France. for the western coast to take off refugees If necessary. On the Mediterranean side, the Amer ican export liner Exeter waited or- ders at Marseilles to run to Bar- celona. at the urgent request of the state department, to evacuate refugees there.
 Tn the far north battles ragged at San Sebastian, where loyaliStS boin- barded rebels with artillery; At Irun, to the east, where rebels at" tackled Irun and rebel airplanes bombed 1t, and at PasaJes, fishing port half way between run and San Sebastian, loyalist artillery opened shattering fire on rebels. Dense columns of smoke led to belief tha: the big Pasajes oil depot might have been hit.
