Court to Consider
This Case Today
The court meets at 10:30 a. m.,
tomorrow to hear Hatrptmann's
olea for commutation of his
death sentence for the kidnap -murder
of Charles A. Lindbergh,
jr.. to life imprisonment. He is
scheduled to die next Friday
night. Attorneys will represent
him at the hearing.
Dr. Condon, a mystery figure
in the Lindbergh case dating back
to the early negotiations Tor the
ransoming of the baby, paid Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh's $50,000
as ransom to "John," a man
whom he Identified at the Flem
ington trial as Hauptmann.
Sharing important witn the
Condon development today was
the governor's announcement a
letter he received recently from a
J. J. Faulkner," protesting
Hauptmann'a innocence of the
murder, was in the same hand
writing as a bank deposit slip of
some of the Lindbergh ransom
money made in 1933 by a man of
the same name.
In reply to a question whether
the Faulkner letter in his opinion
implicated any one other than
Hauptmann in the crime, the gov
ernor said it indicited to him, if
both were from the same "Faulk
ner," that some one other than
Hauptmann was in possession of
some of the money.

The origin ol women's propos
ing during the year with 361 days
is lost in antiquity but the first
law recorded making such propos
als legal was passed in 1288 in
Scotland. It was followed short
ly by laws in France during the
15 th century, the custom was le
galized in Genoa and Florence.
St. Patrick Started
It AIL One' Story
One popular myth credits Saint
Patrick. The good Irish saint was
strolling one day when he was
stopped by Saint Bridget who be
sought him to set aside a year in
which the nuns might do their
own proposing. In early times,
celibacy among the clergy was not
enforced.
Saint Patrick agreed, saying he
would grant one year out of every
seven. Bridget threw her arms
about him, kissed him warmly
and asked that he make it one out
of every four years. Patrick was
only human so . he granted that
one ont of every four years, the
longest of all, should be set aside
for women to choose their mates.
Saint Bridget, the story goes.
was so heartened by his generos
ity that she . proposed to him on
the spot but he gently refused her
because he had sworn to live a
single life. However, he did grant
her a kiss and a silk gown in
stead. Tradition says that if a
man refuse a leap year Proposal,
he must pay the penalty of a kiss
and a silk gown.
Juggling the almanac in one
hand and the county clerk's re
cords in the other, the astute ob
server finds that the first frost
of fall put older men in a recep
tive mood for marriage and that
the new moon time is especially
propitious for ensnaring young
men. Mayhap 1936 with Its cold
and blustery Mart will reverse the
figures of past leap years.
Constitution Not
Attacked by F. R.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-P)-In
striking contrast to his discus
sion of NRA's death, President
Roosevelt talked to reporters to
day about the supreme court's in
validation of AAA but not once
did he mention the court by name.
Obviously in good spirits but
nevertheless in a serious mood,
Mr. Roosevelt said today his re
sponsibility to agriculture was on
a national and not local basis de
spite the court's ruling that re
gulations of agriculture was a
state problem.
He announced that new legisla
tion tho wrecked farm program
would be sought in congress, but
in contrast to the NRA discus
sion there was no suggestion he
was considering proposing sweep
ing constitutional changes.
It's a knock-down,
drag-out story of
socks, slaps, cuffs,
and kisses..!
