 While.>Barbara's father James, jobless shoe factory worker, tried to- day to raise enough money for her funeral, state, county and city au- thorities studied clues which they were confident would identify the slayer. There were strands of hair taken from the child's clehched hand. There were casts of footprints found near the murder scene. There were stains, apparently blood, on a garment. And there was the blood splotched two-pound rock with which the girls skull was bashed in.

Limited Press Staff C0rrespOndent)
 New York, Sept. 6-(UP)-District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey today begins the last phase of his prose- cution of Tammany Leader James J. Hines on lottery conspiracy charges, expecting to climax and complete his case within two days. Testimony about cancelled check for $500, the first documentary evi- dence of payment to Hines from the Dutch Schultz gang, was first on the schedule. Then Harry Schoenhaus, treasurer for the Schultz enterprises, will give states evidence and possibly provide the startling finale to Dewey's case.
 Defense Attorney Lloyd P. Stryk- CT already was arranging the order of his witnesses appearance and 1t was understood that Hines would be the star and one of the first. He would say, according to Stryker's plan, that he knew Schultz and other gangsters, because his political affairs placed him in contact with all classes, but he would deny hav- ing done any business with him.
 Mrs. Rose Wendroff, who said she had given the $500 check to Hines on instructions of her brother, J. Richard (Dixie) Davis, attorney general for the Schultz gang, was under examination when the

ney reported that death was the result of extreme violence" Bar bara apparently was slaim while successfully resisting a criminal as- sault. It was evidently only few minutes after she left her father on the front stoop of their home at 8:20 Sunday night that Barbara met death.
 Police said that Ruddock had been seen near the spot where the body was found, both before and after the crime. Though he insisted that he had merely been lettering there, drinking bay rum with some com panions, authorities said he told conflicting stories.
 Investigation showed that the sris- pect had 15-year criminal record involving Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. He had served prison terms for burglary, murder ous assault on policeman, and jail breaking. In April 1925 he and three fellow prisoners escaped from county jail here by overpowering a turnkey when he brought their food. A few days later, Ruddock was cap- tured in woods near Brockton, Mass, after a police chase during which shots were fired.

 "If I am any judge of the labor people in this state," he said, This convention will very definite ly decide that the Connecticut labor movement cannot be delivered lock, stock and barrel to any politician"
 Labor Recorcs stand
 Opening the 5-day session, Clerk in asserted "the labor record of any political candidate is the only fair way that we can judge as far as labor organizations are concern ed. Personalities of any individuals should not and cannot be taken into consideration.

WILLIAM GREEN
 GIVES CHALLENGE

Providence, R. l., Sept. 6.-(UP) The nations government and business were challenged by labor today to take whatever action may be necessary to remove the causes which create a bad national psy- chology."
 President William Green of the American Federation of Labor, in a Labor day speech in this New Eng land textile center, called for "re- newed faith, a new vision, and the destruction of fear"
 '"The restrained producing and buying power of the nation ought to be released" he said. Whatever difficulties are in the way ought to be removed. There is no reason why millions of working men and women who beg for an opportunity to work and earn living should be the victims of false psychology of fear and resultant frozen buying and production power.
 He recommended the uniting of management and labor to stabilize labor relations. He described the CIO as a secession movement" and warned that those supporting 1t are helping divide labor'S ranks.

Baldwin Street Clerk Finds Only One Complaint
 Filed Against Him

Double trouble which struck S.. Joseph Shaker, 27, employed at 826 Baldwin street, in the spectacular raid on lottery trade here Friday, simmered down to a single charge today. Shaker was arrested twice Friday-once by police who found evidence of lottery trade in the store where he was working-and again on bench warrant issued by Judge Frank P. McEvoy.
 On the first arrest he was forced to post $50 bond for release from local police headquarters. On the lsecond, he was forced to post $1 ,O00 bonds for release from Superior Court.
 Breathes Easier
 Today he was breathing easier when he was informed that the spot arrest was unnecessary, and that the bench warrant charge would be the only one pressed. The $50 bond he posted for appearance in city court was forfeited when he failed to ap- pear in court Saturday morning. In view of the circumstances, officials believe the case will be reopened and the bond restored.
