of the Lindbergh baby.
Those in the group were Puicus

nurse described as Minn* Stegnitis.
The identities of the four persons
in the party brought back by De-

come known until a few hours after
they had ben hurried from the liner

Cassidy declared.
Q. Who wrote those ransom
A. If Mr Hauptmann wrote the
standard writings he also wrote
the ransom notes.
Explains Findings
He began explanation of his find-
ings and enumerated errors in
spelling
‘“Sound should be spelled
‘t-o-u-n-d but was s-o-n-d’" he
spelled.
" ‘Anything was spelled a-n-y-
d-i-n-f.’ I’m inclined to attribute
this to the German influence.’
“All the notes’’ Cassidy said
“were written by the same person.
He said that in both specimens
“our ’ was spelled both correctly and
incorrectly.
The Virginian got several real
chuckles out of the crowd. His ac-
cent was strange to this court.
As he reed from a small chart he
made notations opposite the speci-
fic had listed on this chart all
the words he and the other state
experts thought might link Haupt-
mann to the ransom writings.
Cassidy pointed to • other mis-
spellings on the first photographic
chart. He said the use of “the”
for “they" occurred fcwioe in the
ransom notes and seven times in
the Hauptmann writings. The mis.
spelled word “bee’* for '‘be’’ wf&s also
cited.
”1 want to be conscientious."
drawled the Virginian “but I don’t
want to be mealvmouth. This case
!■ too Important but I wouldn't
■ hesitate to say that the ransom
notes and the (Hauptmann writ-
ings were done by the same per-

HHa Defense Contention
The authority spoke briefly on the
defense contention that someone
may have imitated Hauptmanns
writing in penning the ransom
notes . ...
•The possibility is so improbable
as to be absolutely negligible.
That's my honest opinion.” he said.
C. Lloyd Fisher associate defense
counsel took the witnem for croas
examination.
Q. Did you see any of the re-
guest writings being written?
A. No sir.
Q. When would you say was the
best time to take a handwriting
specimen from a suspect?
A. I would say just as quick as
you get a suspect.
Fisher was apparently trying to
develop the defense thesis that the
Hauptmann writings taken after his
arrest was not done at the proper
time.
Fisher pressed away to have the
expert agree that a clever penman
with a specimen of Hauptmann’s
writing and misspelling could imi-
tate it. The witnesq insisted It
would be virtually impossible to
produce the ransom notes in that
way. •
Fisher then wanted to know if
one handwriting specimen wouldn't
* be ample for a clever penman to
work on
"One well will make a river if it’s
% enough drawled the witness.
ie court rocked with laughter.
Cassidy was excused without re-
direct

' Federal Bureau of Standards De-
partment of Commerce at Washing-
* too. was then called
He said that for nine year* he had
served his bureau In the eeptdty of
document examiner.
Lanigan was questioning him
Ha identified ail the ransom notes
Q. You've examined all of them?
A Yea .sir
* Q. When did you examine them?
A. First in April. 1932. and then
S again in December. 1932
Q. I show you the genuine writ-
ing of Hauptmann the automo-
bile license Have you examined
’ them? . |
A. Yes. I have.
Q. As a result of your examina-
tion of these three sets of docu-
ments; the request writings the li-
censee. and the ransom notes what
is your conclusion?
A* The same person wrote all
; three sets.
Names Hauptmann
Tf Mr Hauptmann wrote the re-
quest writings and the admitted
writings/' the mild mannered fed-
eral expert said "he also wrote the
ransom documents."
; Charts were passed among the
! jurors . j
Crisply Soudcrs finished up with
1 the first chart giving a short dis-
cussion on each of the peculiarities
and characteristics which led him
to link Hauptmann to the ransom
note writer.
Hauptmann looked dully at the
Future History erf U. S. Hangs on Momentous Gold Decision

hoped to win from the Supreme Court a favorable decision in the most
momentous issue presented to the body in decades that having to do
with the legality of President Roosevelt’s scisure of gold voiding of
gold contracts and devaluation of the dollar. A favorable decision would

Jersey "Double” Gives Hauptmann Defense a Break
Do you think witnesses who placed Bruno Richard Hauptmann in vicinity I
of Lindbergh estate immediately before kidnaping mistook John F. Scan* |

the two men in similar noses are offered for comparison. (Central Prate)
witness Another chart was produc-
ed.
Copies were passed among the Jur-
ors.
“This Is prepared like the pre-
ceding chart." he explained.
He took the words “m-o-n-y."
“h-t-e" and thoae that had been re-
viewed previoualy by other experts
Q. That complete# the charts
doctor.
A. Yes
“Take the witness” said Lanigan.
Frederick A. Pope started the cross
examination.
Q m making the examination
of the so-called ransom notes the
standard writing and the request
writing you found various discrep-
ancies?
A. I found no discrepancies that
were not overcome by positive iden-
tification
Pope again asked if he found any
discrepancy In the letters of the
ransom mriting.
Dr. Souder defined discrepance as
“absolute and positive differences
which cannot be reconciled ’"
“I found none." he declared with
conviction.
Methodically Pope went over the
government expert's charts point-
ing out letters and repeatedly urg
1 mg the witness to admit there was
a * marked difference" between some
of the characters.
Souder. who refused to be hurried
in his answers said some dtf- h meet |
were apparent but added the dif- j
lerences were not marked because
if they were the letters would be ir- |
i-econcilable. which was not the case
in his opinion.
Pope brought out that the charac-
ters on the expert's chart were pick-
ed for their similarity and that fre-
quently other forms of the same
letter appearing in both writings
were passed over in the search for a i
matching form.
He made much of this in his ques-
tions.
Dr Souder. however took occas-
ion again to state "there was no
discrepancy which indicated a dif-
ferent writer m all these docu-
ments.”
Q Has anything been brought to.
your attention by opposing ccunselj
which in any way changes your
opinion on writer of these docu-
ments?
A. NO.
Souder was then excused.

POLICE PROBE
SHOOTING HERE
Jose Quintanilla 35 Brownsville
resident who was severely wounded
early Monday morning by an un-
known gunman at 14th street and 1
the railway has failed to Identify'
several suspects taken before him st
the Mercy hospital by investigating
officers -
Quintanilla who Is in a grave con-
dition with a pistol wound behind
the left ear and another over his
heart. Is rational only at times and
he has been unable to give offi-
cers much definite Information con-
cerning the mysterious attack.
The laborer waa walking on 14th
street about 2 a. m. Monday when
the gunman stepped from the brush
and fired at short rang* with a
■mall caliber pistol. Officers believe
the first slug hit Quintanilla over
the heart knocking him to the
ground. The shot behind the ear
waa fired the officers believe alter
Quintanilla was on the ground. The
would-be assastn apparently left
thinking that he had killed the
Brownsville workman
Quintanilla however struggled to
his feet and walked several miles
down the highway before falling un-
conscious in the fruit orchard of
Richard fiethman. He was not found j
until about t a. m when he waa un-
conscious.
Officers rushed him to the hospi-
tal and began Investigation of the
case by talking to Quinantlla when
he became rational at Intervals.
Officers are working on a new
lead which they expect will result
in the arrest of the workman's as-
sailant
An X-ray of the wound behind
Quintanillas ear showed that the
pistol slug split into three parts.

Test oi Message
The text of the presidents me*-
To the Senate:
MA movement to make interna-
tional justice practicable and
serviceable is not subject to partisan
considerations. For years republi-
can and democratic administration*
and party platforms alike have
advocated a court of Justice to which
nations might voluntarily bring
their dispute* for Judicial decisions.
■To give concrete realization to
this obviously sound and thorough-
ly American policy.
T hope that at an early date
the Senate will advise ami consent
to the adherence by the United
States to the protocol of signature
of the statute of the permanent
court of international Jutsice dated
December 16. 1930. the protocol for
the revision of the statute of the
permanent court of * international
Justice dated September 14 1929
and the protocol for the accession
of the United Steles of America to
the protocol of signature of the
statute of the permanent court of
international justice dated Sep-
tember 14 1929. all of which were
submitted to the Senate December
10. 1930. 4 4
-I urge that the Senate s consent
be given In such form as not to de-
feat or to delay the objective of
adherence. .
“The sovereignty oi tne unitea
States will be in no way diminished
or jeopardized by such action.
“At this period of international
relationships when every act la of
moment to the future of world peace
the United State* haa an oppor-
tunity onoe to throw ita weight
into the scale in favor of peace.”
