on It, the convict declared he bad
torn off the signature.
This waa corroborated by the ward
en's daughter, Mlsa Amanda Thomas,
the prison censor, who said ahe re
membered the signature of "Bruno"
and alo remembered seeing the name
'Hauptmann" on letters sent to
Peullln.
Convict's Tnle Doubted
With interest shown In thia devel
opment by federal agents, It waa ,
learned that paullin may be brought
eaat to confront Hauptmann. i
District Attorney Foley, however,
paid little head to the convict's story.
"It's a bust," he said.
In Trenton, Major Charles H. ;
Schoeffel, assistant superintendent of
Jersey police, said the code mesige
waa "never produced here and the in
formation given to us was that it waa:
unsigned."
As the investigation was rushed in,
an effort to apprehend any possible!
accomplices. Including a mysterious
woman who has figured in the cae
from the start, police disclosed that
Hauptmann had tried in vain to gain
entrance to the safety deposit box of
Isadore Flsch, a friend of Hauptmann
who went to Germany two years ago
and died there. !
Hauptmann said he found the 13.-i
750 in ransom billa discovered in his,
garage, also the billa he passed. In 1
belongings of Flsch left at his home. 1
Dead Friend's Gold
Police also disclosed that Flsch paid
for his passage to Germany with some
gold certificates. The ransom bll's
were gold certificates.
The safety deposit box incident was
told to police by Louis Blltaer, an at
torney retained by Flsch's relatives to
clear up hla estate shortly after he
died suddenly in Lelpslg.
Blitzer said Hauptman came to him,
asked for permission to look Into the
box and waa denied such.
While District Attorney Foley term
ed Flsch only a "friend" of Haupt
mann as far as he was concerned. Dr.
John F. Conden, the "Jafsie" who as
Intermediary paid over the ransom,
urged officials to order Flsch'a body
exhumed and an autopsy performed
to determine If hla waa violent death.
Flsch obtained hla passport for the
German trip on May 12, 1933 the
day the Lindbergh baby's body wis
found in the Sourland mountain
woods a few miles from the Hopewull
borne.
"Jafsie" told of "another man and
a woman, who accompanied Fiach, to
Germany.
"Other Man" Quizzed
The "other man" was established
as Henry Uhllg. a friend. Both UhUg
and Flsch were in the fur business.
Uhllg waa detained for questioning
last night, Foley disclosed, and re
leased after saying he would stay
nearby to give his cooperation when
ever wanted.
As with Flsch, Foley said as far as
he knew, Uhllg was only a friend of
Hauptmann and indicated he might
not be further interested in him.
Federal agents, however, indicated
they were not through by any meana
with the Flsch angle of the Investi
gation, pursuing it both in this
country and abroad.
Although the Investigators have re
frained from publicity linking the
Plsch passage gold certificates with
the ransom bills, it was known that
several months ago agents were work
ing on a clue that some of the ran
som money was used in paying for
someone's passage to Germany.
It was learned that at the time It
was discovered a passage to Germany
was paid for with ransom bills, a de
posit of almost 13,000 in ransom bills
was located in a New York bank.
Further, the deposit slip and the sig
nature on the passage reserevatlon
were compared for similarity.
In announcing the arrival of Col
onel Lindbergh next week, end after
making the statement that hla extor
tion case waa complete. District At
torney Foley said every note received
In the case "Including the one left on
the window sill" had been identified
by experts as of Hauptmnnn's writ
ing. This was borne out in a letter to
Schwarzkopf by Albert 8. Oeborn,
noted handwriting expert retained
frequently by Scotland yard.
Prisoner Firm
Foley waa asked whether he thought
Hauptmann would break down and
make a confession of the crime.
"Not for the present," he answered.
The charges of extortion against
Hauptmann will be laid before the
grand Jury Monday. Foley said, but
the hearing would be delayed until
the arrival of Lindbergh from the west
coast.

10 VOTE ANEW ON
MILL CODE PIE
PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 23. (AP)
The northwest group seeking elimi
nation of price fixing from the NRA
lumber code tonight counted Its first
victory.
Frank H. Ransom, Portland lumber
man leading the campaign, saw the
first victory in the call for the West
Coast Lumbermen's association board
of directors to meet here Tuesday
and reconsider Its recent endorse
ment of price fixing.
The meeting, at which the 22 mem
bers will be asked to cast a vote on
this highly controversial subject, was
called by F. T. Titcomb of Tacoma,
vice-president of the board.
Opponents of price fixing point to
a lumber magazine's recent secret
poll which Indicated more than 80
per cent of the mills were admittedly
selling under code prices. Those at
tacking price fixing wish to retain
wage and hour regulations of the
code.
A petition asking Recovery Admin
istrator Johnson to discontinue price
fixing has been circulated among
lumber mills.

CORN LOAN LEVEL
IS
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22. (VP)
The farm administration today moved
its corn loan level one step nearer the
parity price by increasing from 45 to
55 cents per bushel the rate at which
It will lend on this year's crop.
Die loans, to be made by the com
modity credit corporation under
100.000.000 grant from the recon
struction finance corporation, will
also apply on any old grain now undr
seal which farmers wish to continue
to hold.
This development nullified the ex
tension of present corn loans to
January 1, 1B35, making it necessary
for farmers to have corn now stored
re-inspected and re-sealed before Oc
tober 15 in order to extend their
loans at the new rate.
