O'Ryan disclosed that HaupU mann had a criminal record in Germany, saying: "Despite the fact that Hanpt mann denied that he had a crim inal record, I have just been ad vised: that he admits be was on parole and escaped as a stowaway from Germany to prevent his re turn to prison there." The identification of Haupt mann followed immediately with the announcement of his arrest. - John Perron e, taxlcab driver of the Bronx, picked Hauptmann out of the police lineup, it was re ported, as the man who gave him" a dollar to take a note to the Condon home in the Bronx the night of March 12. 193211 days after the blue-eyed, blond son of Colonel and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh was snatched from his crib in the second floor nursery of their home in the lonely Sour land mountains of New Jersey. Identification by Jafsie Unconfirmed Commissioner O'Ryan first said "witnesses" identified Hauptmann as the man to whom the ransom was paid. By this, it was assumed tne commissioner meant J. Condon. Commissioner O'Ryan, In re sponse to questions later tonight, said only that Hauptmann was "identified." He declined at this time to say in what phase of the case the identification was made, or give details. Seldom has a clew been traced so quickly to its denouement. Walter Lyle, a filling station attendant in the Bronx, was given a $10 gold certificate last Satur day by a man who ordered five gallons of gasoline. "I remarked," Lyle said, "that you don't see many of these any more. "The man replied that he had only a few more left." Lyle recalled the presidential order for recall of gold and gold certificates. He was suspicious and took the number of the auto mobile. Later, he turned the note over to police. It was checked at the bank again, one of the Lind bergh bills had turned up. Of this phase of the aDureOen- sion, the commissioner related: The operator of the gas sta tion described the customer who passed the $10 gold certificate in an almost identical fashion as the one described by a Fordham shoe store proprietor." In the Hauptmann house. O'Ryan saidv a pair of shoes was found that had been purchased in tnis store. mm in POM GAS SALES jt Continued from otz 1) gas bomb la the other," was the description offered by Senator Bone (D., Wash.).

Next Thompson drove to "Tom my" Hill's confectionery at 6S7 North Capitol where he helped himself to one of Hill's famous "Wimpy" sandwiches and a glass of beer, entertaining the crowd with a variety of demonstrations' that was convincing of Thomp son's ability to "see" without eyes. Thompson then drove out to the Basket grocery operated by William J. LaRoche, 835 South Commercial street, and he said he was sure glad he ate only one of Tommy Hill's "Wimpy" sand wiches on account of one being a full meal, because Mr. LaRoche of the Basket grocery insisted he try one of their famous baked ham sandwiches with a glass of Bohemian beer. It was here at the Basket gro cery that Thompson encountered one of the most skeptical men he had met anywhere, but after just one demonstration the skeptic was fully convinced that Thomp son either knows hip stuff or else can see, as he claims, through the pores of his skin.

MURDER HINTED IS SI NASHVILLE, Tenn.. Sept. 20. CfVA blood-stained handkerchief bearing the letter "D," a small hairpin, and -dark stains upon a suburban street were the mute ev idences of tragedy in the hands of police tonight as the officers sought the solve the disappear ance of 6-year-old Dorothy Dis telhurst. Whether the child who was last seen at 1:15 p. m. Wednesday on her way home from school was kidnaped and slain, killed acci dentally by a motorist who hid her body in the vicinity, struck by a train that dragged her body away, or experienced some other less dire fate remained a mystery. Police and U. S. department of Justice agents were investigating all of those possibilities however. A climax of the day's searching of the neighborhood came when W. L. Hamilton, uncle of the child, found a bloodstained hand kerchief on the railroad tracks near the street. There was evi dence, he said, that an effort had been made to remove the initial from the 'kerchief. CURLET HIS LEAD BOSTON, Sept. 2 Friday )-(-Former Mayor James M.
