last Illness, Wilents said It was not
neoessary to brink them to this
country, but he wished to have them
ready to meet any defense attack.
Colonel Lindbergh and Mrs. Mor
row had not been “entirely spared"
by Reilly. Wilents went on.
"He didn't call them liars." Wil
entz said. *‘bu; he said they might
be mistaken.”
Wilentz urged the jurors not to
believe the defense "hokum."
Swinging back to Violet Sharpe,
Wilents said that not only Mis.
Morrow, but four other witnesses
spoke of being with Violet Sharpe
on the kidnap night when defense
witnesses said she was in New York.
"But they were wrong, too. But
they weren't ex-convicts, no idiots,
no lunatics." he said sneerlngly.
He spoke catchlngly of another
feature of the defense case.
‘Every woman who came here to<
this court has been charged with
seeking a movie contract.” he charg
ed.
The unexplained footprint in St.
Raymond's cemetery was discussed
next.
“We had it," the attorney general
declared, "ready for production any
time the defense wanted it."
The phonograph record was avail
able too, but had not been request
ed by the defense."
Wilents began to recite conversa
tions from the record and Retlly
jumped up protesting that nothing
was in evidence to support such a
discussion.
Justice Trenchard permitted Wil
entz to go on.
Tlie state, Wilentz explained, didn’t
Kroduce the footprint because it had
een discovered four days after the
ransom payment.
The record reviewed the story of
the kidnaping. Wilents declared, and
the defense did not want it
Wilentz spoke of his own appear
ance in the case Col Lindbergh, he
said, could have had the best pros
ecutor in the country but he choas
to follow the ordinary course of law
and order.
*A»k Hauptmann'
He spoke feelingly of uhe quiet
way Lindbergh had sat throughout
the trial so closely to Hauptmann.
Returning to defense charges,
Wllentz observed ironically, "they
say every suspect In this case should
have been checked.”
The servants of the Lindberghs
and their relatives had been check
ed from the time of the kidnaping
to the day of the trial for any pos
sible connection with the crime,
he said.
Dr. John P. Condon and his fam
ily, too. had been watched, Wllentz
continued.
“The defense asks where is the
box (in which the ransom money
was given to the collector?” Wil
ents went on.
“Ask Hauptmann.”
Next he went into the testimony
of Hauptmann's neighbc^ Mrs. Ach
enbach, who told how Hauptmann
had a limp the day after the kidnap
ing.
Then he commented on the de
fense lncredulousness that a man
with an Injured ankle could Jump
from a 9 foot cemetery wall during
the ransom negotiations.
“But that,” he reminded them,
"was 10 or 11 days later. And Hauot
mann wasn't so badly hurt that he
couldn't walk.”
He called their attention to the
cemetery fence scaling episode. “It
would take an athletic gentleman
like Mr. Hauptmann, and not a
consumptive like Isador Fisch."
Lindjr Wanted Baby Back
The defense had inquired, he went
on. why Colonel Lindbergh didn't
tear the ransom collector “limb from
limb.”
"Colonel Lindbergh wanted his
baby back” Wllentz explained. "Then
he wanted the kidnaper apprehended
by the police. I’m sorry we didn't
proceed as the defense wanted us
to.
“Every government agent,” he
argued, "every police officer, every
scintilla of evidence pointed to
Hauptmann.
“We might like to bring in Violet
Sharpe as an accomplice but noth
ing pointed to that dead glrL”
There had been plenty of oppor
tunity. he reasoned, while the child
was in Englewood and Colonel and
Mrs. Lindbergh were on flights for
either Betty Gow or Violet Sharpe
to aid in a kidnaping.
“Don't get the feeling,” he urged,
•that either one of these girls had
anything to do with it. There Is no
such evidence and you would never
lorgtve yqiiLselves.”
The Lindbergh Butler, Ollie wn»v
eley. too. he went cm. had been
brought Into the rase bv the defense
There was nothing to connect the
dead servant with the crime, he as
serted. but “Mrs Whateley had to
be crushed with the others."
He told the jury vigorously that
every pprson had been Investigated
and vindicated, and that the Lind
berghs and Morrows believed in the
honesty of the servants.
• No chisel of Betty Gow was found
cn the estate." he said.
“No ransom note in her handwrit
ing or that of any other servant was
found in the nursery. No, it was
Hauptmann.
“No ransom money waa found in
their g a rages.
Wilentx, as the time for a recess
arrived, summed up the attack on
the servants.
Justice Trenchard called a recess
upon Wilentz suggestion.
Wilentx walked quietly over to the
jurv box when court resumed and
apologized for the way he was tres
passing on their patience before he
resumed his summation.
“Let me suggest to you this point
that the state does not have to
prove even* fact that it alleges.
That's a Joke. Just because we al
lege one fact, we don't have to
prove every fact to convict this
man." he said.
“The taking of a life." the at
torney general went on, “has al
ways been considered the most seri
ous crime but it would sink into in
significance if this man were ac
quitted and allowed to roam the
streets again, making women in
their homes shudder again."
•Will Place Him In Nursery’
Wilentx leaned ovej the table.
“Counsel says we’ve got to place
Hauptmann In that nursery." he
said.
“Sure, we have to place him in
that room, and when I get through
re-enacting this crime, you’ll be con
vinced that he was in that room.
“We don't have to prove it by
someone who sat there and watch
ed him. we don't need a moving
picture of it."
If Hauptmann’s criminal record
had been available in this country.
Wilentx declared, the alien would
have been arrested for the crime in
six months.
"But he is no more representa
tive of Germany than the Italian
who assassinated Mayor Anton Cer
m»ir of Chicago, was repreaentatty
of Italy."
"Here'i where the American peo
ple were up against something in
this gentleman,” the attack con
tinued.
"The spelling of ‘ouer’, the dimen.
sions of the box. They knew it
wag a German and probably a car
penter. They knew it was a clever
criminal, but there was nothing in
the records. Even his sister in
California didn’t know where he
was.”
Wilents gave on explanation of
why the child didn't cry.
"He crushed that child right in
that room into insensibility. That’s
why there was no outcry.” he said.
"Life meant nothing to him."
"Public Enemy No. 1 of the
world,” Wilents shouted, his words
choking in his throat.
1 Wilents ridiculed the defense
theory the beer stein in the win
dow recess would hay been dis
turbed by the kidnaper.
He produced the suit case on
which the criminal was supposed to
have stepped coming in the nursery
window The defense suggested it
would have been crushed by his
foot.
Wilents dropped the case to the
floor before the jury box and stood
or. it.
•Crush it?” he asked. "I weigh
160 pounds.
"Now there has been a lot of talk
about the bungling of the state
police. They're human. They’re or
dinary beings,” he said.
"Supposing there was bungling.
If there was. it. was so before
Hauptmann's arrest. This bungling
doesn’t affect him.”
“The whole world hasn't turned
crooked because of Hauptmann.
"TTiat defence table hasn’t got a
monopoly on honesty and truth. Not
by a long shot.”
Explains Condon Actions
"All this bungling they talk of—
that doesn't relieve the defendant
who is guilty of murder."
"The defense says Dr. Condon
was always alone,” the prosecutor
went on. turning to the Implications
of Reilly's summation that the
ransom intermediary was involved
in the crime.
Murderers and kidnapers don't
deal with intermediaries in public,
Wilentz reasoned.
The kidnaper picked two ceme
teries on opposite sides of his home
to deal alone with Dr. Condon, he
asserted.
"That's why Dr. Condon was
alone,” he declared.
The attorney general referred
next to the detense question as to
what happened tc the second thumb
guard the babv wore cm the kidnap
night
"Unfortunately.’’ he said. “I can
not make answer. I do not know
where it is.
“But thal gentleman over there
can tell you where It is. He knows.”
The testimony of the taxi driver
Joseph Perrone who carried a ran
som note to Condon, was attacked
by the defense as ’trash” Wilentz
recalled. •
Perrone s desc’hption of the man
who handed him the note, was giv
en to the police, he pointed out,
long before Hauptmann's arrest.
“Muddy-blond hair. About 5 feet
nine. Muscular-athletic' Wilentz re
cited Perrone’s description to show
a similarity to Hauptmann.
He was caustic as he spoke of
Reilly's charges that the treasury
agents in the case testified because
they became Interested in the case
at the start.
Their original Interest. Reilly
charged, was because they thought
U. S. Senator Dwight W. Morrow
would be president some day and
reward them.
“Why." shouted the attorney gen
eral, "Senator Morrow died in Oc
tober. 1931, months before the kid
naping.
“That’s typical of their case."
"I think.” said Wilentz. "that
when defense counsel talked to Col.
Lindbergh at the end of his sum
mation Monday, it was an apology.”
Wilentz referred to Reilly's impli
cation that Colonel Lindbergh’s
hearing had been impaired by the
roar of airplane motors.
Wilentz told how Lindbergh was
tense and listening at the cemetery
when he heard Hauptmann's voice.
“The trip across the ocean meant
nothing to him. It was insignificant,"
he said.
"This was the greatest moment in
his life. He was to get his baby back.”
Heard Voice la Sleep’
-My God, did you ever come into
your home and find your child miss
ing. How frantic you get In the 20
minutes, two hours—and Lindberghs
baby was gone for weeks," he con
tinued.
"He was going to find out where
his baby was—Anne s baby.
"He was sitting there in the still
ness of the night and then he heard
that voice.
” Hey doktor
“God. could you ever forget that
voice, could Lindbergh ever forget
It?
“ Hey doktor’,” Wilentz went on
“how many times do you think Col
onel Lindbergh heard that voice in
his sleep.
“Lindy whose child was involved.
Lindy whose heart was crushed.
Lind} who waited there for his child.
And Mr. Reilly says he didn't hear
it.”
Wilents came to the autopsy by
Dr. Charles H. Mitchell, which held
the child died of a skull fracture. He
spoke of Reilly s attack on Dr. Mit
chell.
“Why, I wish Justice Trenchard
was on the Jury,” he asserted
• Everybody in Trenton knows Dr.
Mitchell.”
His voice rising. Wilents deplored
the ’-insinuations'' in Reilly’s at
tack on the medical examiner.
"You know and I know that the
child died—that it was murdered.”
he went on.
"Let s get back to common sense ’’
“Counsel wants to know all about
the money," Wilentz began.
He spoke of the Hauptmann alibi
that Fisch gave him a shoe box with
the ransom money and also thous
ands of dollars for his brokerage ac
count.
"Not a living soul has testified."
he shouted, ’’that they saw Fisch
give Hauptmann as much as two
cents."
Wilentz assailed Reilly’s theory
that $35,000 of the ransom money
was still In a safety deposit box
somewhere.
Wilentz pointed to the testimony
that Hauptmann never met Fisch
until July or August, and then to
Hauptmann’s sworn statement that
he “must have” met Fisch in April
and May.
Wilentz declared $49,900 had been
traced to Hauptmann and his busi
ness transactions.
"To me that $15,000 found in his
garage would be enough." Wilentz
asserted. “And It should be enough
for you ladies and gentlemen."
Justice Trenchard called the noon
recess at 12:30 p. m.
FIRST WOMAN
JUDGEOKEHED
AUSTIN, Feb. 13. UP)—Mrs. Sarah
T. Hughes of Dallas, 37, small and
dynamic, Tuesday was Texas’ first
woman district judge.
She stepped from the role of state
legislator to judge of a Dallas court
late Monday promptly upon senate
confirmation. 33 to 7. of her appoint*
ment.
She took the oath from a notary
in the house chief clerks office, re
ceived her commission from Gover
nor James V. Allred personally and
prepared to return to Dallas.
"I am proud to have been the first
governor of Texas to appoint the
states first woman district judge,’’
the governor said.
Mrs. Hughes would complete the
term of Judge W. M. Taylor elevat
ed recently to the supreme court
commission of appeals.
Modest but unyielding in legisla
tive battles. Mrs. Hughes calmly out
lined to a house committee a series
of land bills as the senate deo&ted
her appointment. The legislation
spotlighted Mrs. Hughes four years
ago in her first legislative session.
She directed militant opposition
to bills to relinquish to West Tex
is purchases of valuable state oil
land all the bonus from mineral de
velopment.
Mrs. Hughes was Instrumental m
deieating much legislation advanc
ed by lormer Oovemoi Miriam A.
Ferguson in the last legislature. Her
power in debate and floor fights
was feared and respected.
Mrs. Hughes fought without gloves
in debate, out out of the legislature
she was charmingly feminine. She
is fond of swimming and an excel
lent dancer.
House colleagues defended her
when Senator Claud Westerfeld of
her home district opposed the nom
ination. Women from all parts >A the
state petitioned senators in her be
half.
Opposition to confirmation, pitch
ed to a large extent on the iheory
"a woman's place is in the home,"
developed a state-wide Issue and
caused senators to discard a long
established custom. Never in the
memory of veterans, has t.ie sen
ate overrode wishes of a member on
an appointment to a local office in
his district.
The confirmation fight grew into
an administration issue as Wester
feld's break with Allred last fall at
the state democratic convention was
recalled.
Mrs. Hughes, a native of Maryland,
gravitated from Goucher college and
later received her law degree from
George Washington University. She
has resided in Dallas about 12 years.
Her husband. George Hughes, is an
attorney there.
Death Sentence Is
Assessed In Slaying
LUBBOCK. Feb. 12. VP)—Virgil
Sialcup. southwestern desperado,

of Dickens county in a Jail break.
Stalcups attorneys demanded a
poll of the Jury and. after it reveal
ed it was unanimously in favor of
imposing the death penalty, the de
fense gave notice of appeal. Stalcup
heard the verdict without display
ing any sign of emotion.
The defense, in fighting a circum
stantial case built against Stalcup
by the state, had tried to place the
blawe for the shooting last Octo
ber 27 cn Clarence Brown Stalcup’s
companion in the Jail escape. Brown
is awaiting trial.

NEW FIGHT ON
NRA PREDICTED
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. IF)—
Line* forming in congress indicat
ed Tuesday what President Roose
velt! forthcoming message on con
tinuation of NRA will touch off at
least two major controversies.
One is expected to come over Sec
tion 7-A of the recovery act which
guarantees labor the right to or
ganise and bargain collectively.
The administration is represented
as wishing no change in the clause.
Many labor leaders would like to see
the section ban “company unions"
and provide lor "majority rule."
Many industrialists, seeking some
changes themselves, want among
other things a prohibition of “coer
cion" by both labor groups and em
ployers.
Another point of potential dis
sension is the question whether NRA
has fostered “monopolies * and op
pressed small business. The presi
dent is represented as favoring a
change in the act to bring about
stricter application of the anti-trust
law’s. There likewise has been some
controversy over this issue.
Administration spokesmen have
indicated the president will outline
to congress this week certain gen
eral principles as the basis for a
two-year extension of the recovery
administration.
In general terms, officials have
indicated that retention of the fol
lowing features of the present will
be asked:
1—The collective bargaining
clause.
2. —Minimum wage and maximum
hour provisions.
3. —Child labor provisions.
4. —Pair trade practice provisions,
intended to regularise competition
in industry.

Twice Cardui Helped
“I was in a run-down condition,
very irregular and had crampa and
nervousness.” wTites Mrs. Albert
Pike, of R. P. D. 5. St. Joseph, Mo.
‘When one has a home and chil
dren to look after, and the work on
a farm, a woman will worry if she
feels bad—and I surely worried. I
decided to take Cardui again, as it
had helped me one time. It also
helped me this time. I never have
a bad day when using Cardui.”
There are many cases like this.
Thousands of women testify Cardui
benefited them. If it does not bene
fit YOU, consult a physician.

New Plymouth Called “Smartest, Most
Luxurious of *All Three9 Low-priced Cars”
Beauty speaks for itself! Just one
look at this year’s low-priced cars
tells you Plymouth is the best-looking of
“All Three .”
It’s bigger. Its streamlined body is
smarter. Wide-vision windshield . . .
‘airplane-type fenders . . . deep, wide
doors... all suggest its speed and power.
Safety is also beyond argument. Be
neath Plymouth’s streamlined beauty is
the strength of an All-Steel Body! And
Plymouth is still the lowest-priced car
with genuine Hydraulic Brakes.
As for riding comfort ... the same
engineers who perfected scientific dis
tribution of weight in the famous "Air
flow” cars now give Plymouth the same
“Floating Ride.” New-type springs,
shock absorbers and sway eliminator
end bumps, jolts and lurches.
In your own way, by your own stand
ards, compare Plymouth with the other
low-priced cars before you buy. On dis
play at all Dodge, DeSoto and Chrysler
dealers. Ask about the Official Chrysler
Motors Commercial Credit Plan.
