April 20—Mrs. Anne Lyddane and John Martin Boland entered upon a preliminary hearing today before a packed court room on charges of conspiring to assassinate Mrs. Lyddane’s husband. Francis Lyddane. Spirited clashes bctwpen defense and State's attorney marked the examina tion of the first witness. Detective James McAulifTe, who swore out the warrants against Mrs. Lyddane and Boland. The court room was packed to ca pacity with her fellow townsmen as the defense demanded a showdown of the State charges that the young woman plotted to do away with her husband. Francis Lyddane. A predominantly feminine audience filled every seat, aisle and available space at least half an hour before the preliminary hearing opened before Police Court Judge Donald A. De Lash mutt in the Montgomery County Court House. Bailiffs and county policemen had to close the court room to further •pectators. All men who entered were •earched for concealed cameras. separair nearing* Asaea. Prescott asked a separate hearing In each of two separate charges of conspiracy. James H. Pugh. State's Attorney, objected on ground that two offenses arose out of the same trans action. The court then said it would be very difficult to mix the cases and asked which case the State wished to take up first. “The Lyddane and John Mostin Boland case.” Pugh responded. Judge Delashmutt then ordered Mrs. Lyddane and Boland to stand up. Mrs. Lyddane stood alone. Slender and well tailored, she wore her dark ault and small Spriag hat with an air of distinction and dignity. Beyond an expression of harrassmejat, she showed no sign of emotion. Boland Brought From Jail. Boland, howevgr. was not in court, and had to be brought from the jail. He also was ordered to stand and hear the joint charge that they had conspired to murder Mrs. Lyddane’s husband. Both demanded a preliminary hear ing. When the trial opened Lyddane sat beside his wife. Ruddy, handsome and blond, he was dressed in a new tray suit and neat gray cravat. Mrs. Lyddane was represented by State Senator Stedman Prescott and Attorneys Robert Peter and Kenneth Lyddane. Legal Tilt Develops. A sharp legal tilt developed over the admissibility of the testimony of the first witness, Detective James Mc Auliffe. who swore to the warrants. Prescott objected to what he de scribed as a hearsay summary of the State's case by McAuliffe while wit nesses referred to and the alleged con fessions of Mrs. Lyddane's accusers could be produced. Pugh then said: “These are our charges, and if the defense will leave me alone we’ll clear them up.” A burst of applause followed this atatement and the judge threatened to clear the court room if there were further demonstrations. McAuliffe testified he went to Wash ington accompanied by a fellow officer on March 6 and obtained information which led him to shadow Mrs. Lyd dane. He told how he saw Mrs. Lyddane go to Lincoln Way Inn here on March 28 and return to her apartment and how he followed Mrs. Lyddane and her husband to Annapolis. Under eross-examination he admitted there was nothing unusual in Mrs. Lyd dane's action on either of these occa •1UUB. Payment of $200 Alleged. McAulifTe quoted Carnell as saying he received $200 from Mrs. Lyddane at Lincoln Way Inn as a down pay ment to Boland for killing Lyddane or having it done. McAulifTe testified he found $775 on Mrs. Lyddane at the time of her arrest. She explained she planned to buy a baby bond or an automobile for her husband. Mc AulifTe was on the stand an hour and a half. The second witness was Detective Joseph Nolte, the Montgomery County officer who investigated the case w’ith Bergt. McAulifTe.

Twenty minutes later an honor com : pany of the Reichswehr (German Army) marched by under a youthful chief commander.

April 20.—Mrs. ! Anne Lyddane. dressed In a simple, well-cut black wool suit, white gloves, a jaunty straw hat with a little veil, sheer black stockings and tiny pumps, sat through the morning session of her trial at Rockville with equanimity. After the court recessed for lunch, Mrs. Lyddane said she was well pleased. “It’s nothing hut a frame-up,” she told the reporters. She felt that her at torney had done a line Job with his cross-questioning. "To think," she said laughing, "that those two detectives were supposed to be their best witnesses.” * Now 29, she is still a pretty woman. There are deep circles under her eyes, Indicating she had been under con siderable strain. Nevertheless, she chats and smiles with her husband and with Stedman Prescott, chief counsel of defense. When Prescott was cross questioning Detective James Me Auliffe, the first witness for the State, Mrs. Lyddane frequently leaned over to prompt Prescott. She speaks with a strong Southern accent. Francis S. Lyddane. her husband, and one of the alleged victims of the alleged plot the 8tate is attempting to prove on Mrs. Lyddane and John ^tartin Boland, sat slightly In back of^ her. He was a picture of sartorial perfection. His suit was one shade of gray, his tie another and his felt hat was a light pearl gray. He barely moved during the early morning ses sion. Occasionally, except either to chew his fingers he would hide his eyes with his hand. He kept himself aloof. He spoke If spoken to, but otherwise he Just sat, showing his nervousness only with his restless right hand. The court room, a big pine-paneled chamber, was packed with at least 1,000 people. With a seating capacity of possibly 200, the seats, the aisles and the windows were solid with men and women. The women ranged from a few girls of 18 or so to middle aged, respectable wives of the townsmen of Rockville and farmers’ wives. Men predominated In the crowd. James H. Pugh, State’s attorney, who is in charge of the case for the State, is a youngish man. He has a long face, sharp brown eyes and a ringing, nasal voice. His light figure was clothed in a tweed suit. Prescott’s attack on the witnesses was sharp as a terrier’s.. He has red* dish hair, brown eyes, a ruddy face with a pointed nose and a amah, tight mouth.

S. if Necessary. MOB SPIRIT CHARGED IN CONDUCT OF TRIAL Rights of Defendant Under Four teenth Amendment Violated, Lawyer Declares. By the Associated Press. BLAIRSTOWN, N. J., April 20 — Egbert Rosecrans, one of counsel for Bruno Richard Hauptmann, announc ed today the Hauptman case would be taken to the United States Supreme Court if necessary. Rosecrans filed with the prosecution 1*3 assignments of error as the open ing step in the appeal to the highest New Jersey court from the convic tion and death sentence of the Flemington trial court. Setting forth In blunt terms formal ! condemnation of the court, the prase- j cution, the presence of Col Charles 1 A. Lindbergh at the trial, the press and the "circus maximus" of the ac tion in general, which ended with conviction and death sentence for his client. Rosecrans listed reasons why the case should be admitted to the United States Supreme Court. Evidence Held Disregarded. The lean, scholarly attorney, whose last 11 murder cases have resulted In spectacular acquitals and who undertook much of the legal work con nected with the trial and the appeal. ' complained that the verdict against I Hauptmann was against the weight i of evidence, and charged the court, ; presided over by the senior justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court, Thomas W. Trenchard, with "impair ing a free and unbiased verdict.” Rosecrans said that the papers, signed by himself and Judge Frederick A. Pope, as counsel, and C. Lloyd Fisher as attorney, embrace 1*3 as signments of error and 1*5 causes for reversal. They are listed in eight- j i een divisions marked alphabetically j I from A to R. and embrace the rulings ; of the court on the admission and rejection of testimony and evidence ' and exceptions to the charge of the court and the "refusal of the court to 1 charge as requested.” “Group Q” sets forth reasons why the rights of the defendant were vio lated. Kbseerane said, under the Con •UMWP .8*. m United States. ravu op»i» He listed them as follows: “Because of the biased and exag gerated newspaper reports and stories ; which were communicated to all citi- ; sens of the county. State and Nation for months before the trial and which unduly Inflamed the members of the jury panel against this defendant and caused it to lose sight of the rule of law that a defendant Is innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. "Because Of the hysterical mob I spirit with which the jury was sur : rounded during the entire conduct of the trial both during and between I sessions of the court, which was con | trary to established principles of jus tice and which unduly Influenced the jury against this defendant. "Because of the picture of a circus maxlmus which was daily presented to the jury during all of the conduct of the trial and which deprived it of its calm judgment and reason and made a mockery of justice. "Because the daily presence of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh at the trial, which unduly influenced the jury to view him as the real prosecutor and constantly presented to the jury the ; picture of a bereaved father for whose ; sorrow the world demanded a sacri 1 flee. “Because of the repeated outbursts In the court room during the trial which moved the defendant to pray for a mistrial on several occasions but which motions were denied and which outbursts unduly influenced the Jury against the defendant. "Because of the inflammatory sum mation of the State’s counsel, which went far beyond the evidence and which unduly influenced the Jury against the defendant. "Because of the varying theories of the States as to the guilt of the de fendant which were unsupported by evidence but which were presented to the jury by way of argument of State’s counsel, as founded upon testimony. “Because the court in its charge to the jury by its queries and comments on evidence portrayed emphatic ap proval of the State’s theories and wit nesses and thereby impaired a free and unbiased verdict. Court Argument Charged. "Because the court in its charge to the jury was argumentative to a de gree which made comments on evi dence characteristically an act of advocacy.” Rosecrans prefaced, In the papers, the "group Q” clauses with the as sertions that: "The rights of the defendant grant ed under the sixth amendment of the Constitution of the United States were contravened in that the de fendant was not accorded a trial by a Jury of the State and district where in the crime was alleged to have been committed, as the defendant was tried in the county of Hunterdon instead of the county of Mercer, and the Hunterdon County Court of Oyer and Terminer was therefore without Juris diction. "The rights of the defendant guar anteed under the fourteenth amend ment of the Constitution of the United States were contravened in that the defendant was deprived of life and liberty without due process of law.” Rosecrans said that while the as signments of error were filed today, the causes for reversal may not be until next week.

CABINET TEXTILE STUDY AWAITED A. A. A. Continues to Defend Processing Tax as Con troversy Grows. By th* Associated Press. Textile interest* looked today to a special Cabinet Committee to study the complications disturbing one of the country's greatest industries—but they were far from discarding their desire for more immediate action by the Government. Naming of the committee by the President was one of the high points of a busy week for those engaged in a drive to end the cotton process ing tax and to raise the tariff walls against Japanese imports. The A. A. A., meanwhile, continued to defend the processing tax. Chester C. Davis, farm administrator, declared last night its abolition would not Chaagg -Um «aiU»' position "one iota.'' "What the textile Interests are say ing.” he declared at another point in his remarks, ‘‘is that they don’t want to pay the farmer a reasonable price.” Demand “Fair Chance." A demand that Massachusetts and New England be given “a fair fight ing chance In this industrial war we are now facing.” came from Gov. Curley of Massachusetts. “Let us give the American people a chance to transfer from welfare rolls to pay rolls,” he said in a speech at Boston. ‘Put Americans back to work by buying only Amer ican-made goods.” The action of President Roosevelt in designating Secretaries Hull. Wal lace. Roper and Perkins to study the problems presented by the processing tax, wage diffeientials and imports brought this response from Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Massachusetts: “All sections of the industry have been in accord that the present bar riers were the processing tax and the rapid increase in Japanese importa tions. “I am still hopeful that these prob lems may be dealt with Immediately, for. unless these barriers are removed, the extensive investigation proposed may not be ended In time to prevent the recent threatened collapse of the entire Industry, both North and South.” President’s Statement. In naming the Cabinet Committee, Mr. Roosevelt said attention would be given to the relation of the processing tax to the present situation. He added there would be considera tion also of the possibility of offering some other means by which the tax could be levied with greater effective ness and less disturbance to the in dustry. The President also disclosed that he had asked an analysis of the physical conditions of textile plants to deter mine the degree of obsolescence of machinery and whether it was a fac tor In the present condition of the industry. Meanwhile, with many of the New England congressional textile spokes men prepared to go home for the Easter holidays, the scheduled biparti san Interview of House members with the President next week commanded attention. The Interview, during which the President will be apprised of congres sional viewpoints on the textile prob lem, is to take place at the White House Monday or Tuesday.

COMMITTEE TO DISPOSE OF BONUS AND N. R. A. Byrd Oppoies Provision Which Makes Possible Federal Dic tation to States. By the Associated Press. Swept through the House by a lop sided vote, the Roosevelt social se curity bill today ran into a legislative jam in the Senate which threatened long delay. New attempts to write sweepinc changes into the big bill—which is designed eventually to levy $2,783,000. 000 or more in new taxes for financial help to the aged, jobless, children and mothers—also were In prospect. The 372-to-33 vote which Jammed the bill through the House yesterday was made possible by smooth func tioning of the overwhelming Demo cratic machine and by the "ayes” of ( many Republicans who had lo6t their i battle to delete the new taxes from i the bill. Off the record, some of these ! Republicans said they had to vote for the whole bill on the final roil call to avoid “political suicide.” Delayed in Committee. Fresh from this victory—which fol lowed almost three months of dispute —the bill went to the Senate Finance Committee, already tied up in con troversy over the bonus and N. R. A, Chairman Harrison announced th< security program would be pushed ahead as rapidly as possible, but said ' j the bonus would be taken up by his ! committee first, and then the bill to . extend N. R. A.’s life. Hearings on the bonus bill have al , ready been called for the first two days of next week. Harrison said he hoped to get it out of committee by , the middle of the week and turn to . the recovery legislation. . j Even the most optimistic adminis . ' tration friends of N. R. A. concede. 1 however, that it will take 10 days or . two weeks to get that controversial , issue settled in the committee end ’ reported out to the Senate. Faces Tough Sledding. No one on the Senate side of the jj Capitol disputed today that the social security bill faced much toucher sled ’ ding there than it did in the House. Already many suggestions for modi fications had risen, not only from ? Republicans, but from the Democratic ranks as well. Senator Byrd. Democrat, of Virginia. ’ long ago announced proposals for - modifying the administration bill. He opposes provisions which he says ‘ would make it possible for the Fed eral Government to dictate to the States. Hearings on the bill have been completed by the Senate Committee, and when it gets the bonus and • N. R. A. out of the way it will go , immediately into executive session to act on social security. This will ■ speed the procedure somewhat, but it will still leave all the issues in the vast bill to be fought out. | As passed by the House, the measure 1 touches on all the phases of "economic security" outlined in a message Presi dent Roosevelt sent to Congress Janu ary 17. However, in most cases the aid for the persons covered would ma terialise only if the States did some thing for them. 42 Amendments Offered. e During House consideration 42 s amendments were offered, 18 yester i day. Only one minor one was adopted v and it had been approved by the Ways ■ and Means Committee. ft In the form in which tt passed the House, the bill would; 1.
