wendell SUSPECT,
PARKER CLAIMS
Detective Thought Lawyer
Was Linked to Kidnap-
ing, Court Told.
BY the Associated Press,

~ tAAS HcCOSA3te0 1ACSo.
NEWARK, N. j., May 26.-Ellis H.
Parker suspected Paul H. Wendell was
either the kidnaper Of the Lindbergh
baby or knew the kidnapers q few days
after the celebrated crime. counsel for
the Burlington County detective chief
told a Federal court jury today Is he
outlined the Parker defense to conspir-
acy charges.
Mr.. Parker Immediately formed 4
suspicion against this man that he
was the man who kidnapped the baby
or knew Of the kidnapers," declared J.
Mercer Davis, opening the fight to
acquit Parker and his son, Ellis, jr.,
on charges Of conspiracy to violate
the Federal Lindbergh law in Wendel's
abduction.
After preliminary eulogy OF the
Parkers, father and son, Davis de-
scribed telephone call which Parker
received five days after the Lindbergh
baby was stolen, March l, 1892. The
voice Of the caller, he said, was
Wendell, whose discredited Lindbergh
confession" three years later stayed
briefly the death of Bruno Richard
Hauptmann. Wendell claims this CON
fession" was wrung from him by tor
ture after his abduction.
The day after Parker received the
mysterious call concerning the Lind
bergh case, Davis, continued, Wendell
visited the detectives Mount Holly
home and discussed the crime with
him. It was then, said Davis, that
Parker recognized Wendeps voice as
that OF the man with whom he had
spoken on the telephone.
From that time forward, Davis de-
clared, Parker suspected Wendel's
knowledge in the case.
THE day after the body identified
as the body of the Lindbergh baby
was found (May IL, 1892 Wendell
called Ellis Parker to request he look
at the body and assured him it was
not the Lindbergh child; that the
Lindbergh child was still living" he
added.
And he continuously maintained
he was in touch with the mob which
had the baby in custody"
Davis said Wendell took the Parkers
and Mrs. Anna Bading, the senior
Parkers secretary, to the Lindbergh
home at HopeweN
He pointed out roads, pointed out
how the child was taken and gave
Parker the impression no one else
could have known the facts he stated
unless he was the kidnaper," Davis
asserted.
Because OF his suspicion, the at
torney said, Parker kept Wendell under
| surveillance.
But Davis denied the senior Parker
had any connection with the alleged
seizure and imprisonment Of Wendell
in Brooklyn and said Parkers first
knowledge Of the case was when Wen
del was delivered to him at his Mount
Holly home.

COPELAND FIGHTS.
PRESIDENT DIRECT
Says Roosevelt Trying To
Beat Him in New York
Mayor Fight
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press COlumniSt

Washington, Aug. 49, - Senator
Royal S. Copeland's recent anti-Roose
veltian outburst was more violent
than any that the most conservative
Of southern Democratic solons or even
than the Republicans have INDUCED
in.
The southern conservatives are
anti-New Deal, to be sure, brit they
don't express themselves against the
White House tenant personally.
Senator Copeland did SO express
himself. He not only referred to what
he considers a spade as spade. He
described it as a steam shovel. He
raised the issue of veracity also. The
President denies that he is trying to
euchre the senator out of the New
York City Democratic mayoralty NOM
ination. The senator asserts that this
is just what "F. D." is trying to do
in favor of jeremiah T. Mahoney,
New Deal Democrat, opposing the old
line Tammany organization. Senator
Copeland is backed by AL Smith and
Manhattan Tammany organization,
while the leaders of the four other
toroughs support Mahoney. Mayor
Fiorello H. La Guardia, as the ~Fus-
ionist candidate, will oppose the win
ner of the September primary.
A Jab.
The doctor-senator's advocacy of a
constitutional amendment limiting
all presidents to two four-year terms
each likewise plainly was intended as
a lab, not at presidents in general, but
at President Roosevelt in particular
Senator Charles L. McNary has
made a similar suggestion, but that
was different, for McNary is the Re-
publicans, Senate leader AS a prom
inent G.. o. p strategist, it was ma
tural for McNary to imply that IF. d.
is maneuvering for a third term and
that he '(McNary) thought that it
would be establishing a bad prece-
dent to let him "get away with it"
Elsewhere.
BY the way
The rule that president must not
succeed himself does not work very
well in practice.
It is the rule in several republics
once lived in one of them-Argentlna
The term is six years and the presl-
dent is not eligible to reelection upon
it's expiration, but he can be reelected
after a six-year interval. The result is
that. once in office, he shapes all his
policies with a view of being followed
by a dummy of his own, who can he
relied on to pass the job back to him
later. Sometimes the dummy fools
him, but the system does not make for
any extra presidential independence.
It operates the other way, if anything.
incidentally, voting is compulsory
in the Argentine-fine or imprlson-
,ment if you do not cast your ballot.
The scheme has more merit than ap-
pears at first sight.
Originally balloting was open. All
and sundry could see the ballots as
thew were deposited. This enabled the
bosses to buy or intimidate the cleo
torate. So secret voting was decreed.
The bosses still were in position,
however. to scare folk they were sus-
nicious of away from the polls. II a
known "anti" insisted on voting at all
he knew what was coming to him
subsequently,
So the compulsory method was
adopted to make him vote, and to pre-
vent him from being inundated.

is partially so.
