Q. Do you see that man In the
oourtroom?
A- Yes. That man there (pointing
to Hauptmann).
Q Aia matter of fact you did sub-
sequently recover your tost dog?
A. Yes. on March 4.
Q. How do you fix that night aa
March 1. 1933?
A. That was tbs day everybody
knows the Lindbergh baby was kid-
naped. I came home from the gas
station at 9 o’clock had my dinner
and went out on the street and a lot
of people are saying the Lindbergh
baby as kidnaped.
Q What time would you say?
A About 10 or 11 o’clock.
Wrote to Faweett
Van Henke explained at Reilly's
instigation that he wrote James M.
Fawcett Hauptmann’s first coun-
sel about the Incident which he
said occurred about 8 p. m.
Wllents began the eroee-examina-
tion.
Q Who is August Wetnstorf?
A. That’s me.
Q. Why did you use that name?
A- On account of family trouble.
Q. When did you use It?
A. When I was in saloon business.

it a restaurant
Louis Kiss said he saw Haupt-
mann in Christian Predericksen’s
Bronx bakery - restaurant shortly
after 8:15 p. m.. March 1. 1933 the
night the child was stolen. His
word supported the testimony given
before him by Elevert Carlstromg.
27-year-old carpenter’s helper and
Mrs. Anna Hauptmann arlfe of the
defendant .
Woman Attacked
Meanwhile In New York a wom-
an who offered to testify for the
state against Hauptmann In con-
nection with nth spending of Lind-
bergh ransom bills was found un-
conscious bound and gagged on
the floor of’her beauty parlor In
which a fire had started. She was
Pannette Rlvkin.
A building superintendent res-
cued her and she was taken to a
hospital unable immediately to
say what had happened to her or
who her assailants were.
The witness Else was made to
admit on cross-examination that
he bootlegged rum before repeal
and Cirlstromg was forced to resort
to a constitutional right when At
tornev General David A. Wllent*
asked him about his activity In
Brooklyn after he visited the bakery
In the Bronx where he said he saw
Hauptmann. Carlstromg said the
answer would Incriminate him. but
later explained he was “In the
oompany of women."
Both witnesses were doaedly
cross-questioned on dates and places
as the state sought to show they
had poor memories.
Kiss said h« read of Hauptmann’s
story of taking Frederlcksen's po-
lice dog out on the night of the
crime and then he remembered
that he had dropped into a Bronx
bakery for a cup of coffee on that.
He called defense Attorney Edward;
J. Reilly’s office last Sunday to
tell about It he said.
Const!tattaoal Right
Before he took the stand Attor-
ney General David T. Wllent* con-
tinued an effort began Wednesday;
to discredit the alibi testimony of!
Carlstromg and caused that witness !
to resort to his constitutional right;
not to answer a question which he
said would Incriminate him. The
question concerning his activity in
Brooklyn after he left the Bronx;
bakery the night Of March 1. 1932.
was answered however on redirect
examination when Carlstromg ex-
plained he was “in the oompany of i
women."
Wllent* Indicated in other ques-
tions that he intended to call Arthur j
Larsen for rebuttal to testify that
Carlstromg spent the night of March j
I. 1932. in a house at DunneUen. N.
J. . and could not have been In the!
Bronx.
Cross-examination of Carlstromg
got under way at 10:25.
q Now you testified Wednesday
you saw the defendant only once
and that was on the night of
Mrach 1. 1932 In the bakery?
A Yes
Q. And you testified you were up
In the Bronx that night to see a
young lady who lived near the bak-
ery a young lady of whom you were
very fond?
A. Yes.
Q. Did you see her?
A. I didn’t
Q. Oh you didn't?
A. It was too late.
Q. But you said that was why you
went up there that night?
A. Yes.
Falls i• Answer
The witness told Wllent* he fixed
the time that he went to the Bronx
bakery by the subway clock.
After visiting the bakery Carl-
stromg said he went to Brooklyn
about lkm.
Q. What did you do thare?
Carlstromg did not answer for a
long time and Wllente asked if he
understood the question.
Reilly interposed suggesting that
the Witness might feel that It might
Incriminate him.

The proposed budget was forward-
ed here by Or. Peterson Wednesday
and it calls for the elimination of
the assistant director from the ori-
ginal budget. Otherwise It remains
aa originally presented before the
commissioners' court.
In adopting the health unit the
cotrmialaonert did not nominate e
director aa requested by Dr Peterson
Te Antra With Dancy
During progress of the Thursday
morning session. Dr. Peterson tele-
phoned from Austin and he was
notified that the budget had been
adopted but thqt no director had
been nominated. The health service
head told Auditor L. O'Brvan that
he would arrive here Friday with
Judge Dancy and that the nomina-
tion of a director could be taken up
at that time.
Commissioner flam Bell who pre-
sides over the court in the absence
of Judge Dancy assured people pres-
ent that the plan of curative health
work would be continued as long as
necessary. Opposition to the oreven-
tstive unit has frown up on the suo-
oosition that the curative work now
being done would be abandoned. It
was stated at the meeting .
The health unit was discussed at
length by the commissioners and
several visitors including Dr Spi-
vey before Commisiaoner Brown
moved adoption of ihe unit and
budget.
C. L. Jessup of Brownsville spoke
briefly quoting statistics gathered
from Brownsville drug stores show-
ing that malarial oreserlpttora ire
declining ranidly. His opposition to
the new unit he said was in part
due to his understanding that cura-
tive work would be entirely abandon-
ed.
Spivey Speak*
Dr. 8 K. Halls m of Brownsville
spoke In favor of the unit saying
that lack of health work might re-
sult in the Valley losing its oppor-
tunity for CCC camps.
Dr flplvey said he would be will-
ing to accept the directorship for
the five month period “and if you
tre not satisfied with mv work st the
*nd of that time all v*m> will h*v# to
do is whisper to me." he told the
commissioners.
Dr. flplvey was head of the old
health unit whieh eras abandoned
by the previous administration in
favor of a curative rather than pre-
ventive program. He stated he eras
removed “without a hearing.'* and
•aid he would welcome an oppor-
tunity to “come hack."

NEW YORK STOCKS
NEW YORK. Jan. 31. —v*V- The
stock market found a few more
friends Thursday and prices gen-
erally showed a disposition to firm
moderately.
While there was no rush to buy
leading equities the feelins In the
boardrooms seemed to be a bit more
bullish than In recent sessions. Air-
craft and steel issues met support
and even the lately depressed rails
acted as though they were groping
for higher levels.
A much better tone was display-
ed by commodities. Com led a rally
in grains at Chicago and cotton
Improved. Bonds were quiet. Al-
though scattered recoveries were
[noted among some of the second-
ary groups. U. 8. government loans
were Inclined to ease. The principal
Euorpean gold currencies moved
against the dollar.
Shares up fractionally to around
a point included U. 8. Steel prefer-
red and common Bethlehem. Re-
public Steel Preferred. American
Rolling Mill United Aircraft Dou-
glas Aircraft. Curtiss-Wright San-
ta Fe. N. Y. Central. Union Paci-
fic Chrysler. General Motors. U. S.
Smelting Howe Sound. American
Telephone. Consolidated Gas and
Western Union.
In some quarters the opinion was
expressed that there has been so
much preparing for a gold decision
adverse to the government that such
an eventuality may have already
been discounted so far as most in-
dustrial equities are concerned.
At the same time the majortty of
traders apparently were unable to
visualise the results If the high
court decides against the adminis-
tration. A few brokers voiced the
belief that If the gold clause Is up-
held the stock exchange will be
closed pending steps expected to bs
taken immediately by the govern-
ment for the maintenance of Its
monetary program.
