MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOiiD. OREGONFRIDAY. JANUARY 4, 1935. PAG E FIVE German Received Ransom Money in Cemetery, Claim (Continued from Page One) flights over land and sea all ol them In viiin. He told of putting 170,000 in' a email wooden box and of removing 20,000 at the cemetery alter Dr. Con don told him the ransoming could be done for $50,000. The box was slight ly cracked, he said, because of the bulk of the $50,000. The doctor got out of the automo bile at the cemetery, he related, and returned in from ten to 15 minutes. Later, he went to Bridgeport, Conn, hoping to get his child. He went by car with Dr. Condon, Colonel Henry Breckinridge and a Mr. Irey of the internal revenue bureau. Took To Air Prom Bridgeport trb party took to the air In an amphibian plane. "How long were you in the air in your plane?" WilecS asked. "I believe several hours; I haven't the exact time, but we flew up over the area described in the note. We landed up there and spent a consid erable time looking over the sea har bors in that vicinity." The note or which he spoke, he said had been delivered to Dr. Condon at St. Raymond's cemetery when the money was paid. "What whs the purpose of your mission in the plane?" he was asked. "We were looking for the boat de scribed in the note SVhlch you Just showed me, and to see if we could find any location of my son." "Did you pilot the plane yourself?" "I did." Searched for Wont "And during those hours you .searched the waters in that vicinity for the boat that you hopted had your son In it?" "That is correct." "Your search, of course, waft In vain that time?" Wilentz prompted. "It was," Lindbergh rei?lied simply. "You returned then where?" "I believe we returned to a field, a landing field near Hempstead, Long Island, called the Aviation Country Club." "Did you make another effort In a plane to locate the boat that was sup posed to be the one that you were looking for?" "I did later." "When? The same day?" "No, It was a day or two after ward." And again that search was in vain?" "Yea." Then he landed at Teterboro airport in New Jersey, tie said, and drove on to his home in Hopewell "That was in April, during the early part." Tells of Henrmj; Voice The flier's full testimony on the matter of hearing what he alleged was Hauptmann's voice, follows: Q. On the night of April 2nd, 1932 when you were In the vicinity of Sf.. Raymond's cemetery and prior to de livering the money to Dr. Condon and you heard a voice hollering "Hey. Doctor," in some foreign voice, I think as you referred to It since that time have you heard the same voice? A. Yes, I have. Q. Whose voice was it, colonel, that you heerd in the vicinity of St. Raymond's cemetery that night say ing, "Hey, Doctor?" A. That was Hauptmann's voice. Q. You heard It a second time where? A. At District Attorney Foley's of f.ce, in the Bronx, .fte; telling that thtr serial num bers of the ransom bills we're recorded at his request, Lindbergh related he was called back to Hopewell from one of his numerous trips on th night of May 12, 1932. Saw Baity at Morgue "Now Colonel," Wllenta asked, "on that night, somewhere around mid night, you say you returned to Hope well; and did you visit a morgue In Genton?" "On the following day I did," he said. "By tne way." Wilentz went on, "in March, 1032. when was the last time you saw Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr.?" "On the Sunday evening preceding the first of March. That would be In February, 1032." "And from that time on did you ever me that child alive again?" "I did not." "Did you see the child at all again?" "I saw the child's body." "When?" "On the 13th of May, 1932." "Sometime slightly after midnight of May 12th?" f "Yes." "And It was your child?" "It was." "And you ordered the body cremat ed, as I understand it?" "Yes." Right after this Wilentz said: "So that you did not get your money back and did not get your child?" "I did not." Lindbergh said. Star Cross Examination Colonel Lindbergh squared his shoulders as he prepared for defence counsel Reilly's first questions of cross-examination. Before asking if he was armed. Reilly wanted to know if the filer was a peace officer of the state. He was not. The court sustained the state's objection to the question about being armed, but let It go be cause the witness "seemed to want to answer," Reilly pressed Lindbergh closely with questions about hid servants. "It would be possible for someone in the house to take the baby out of Its crib?" he asked. Betty Gow, listening, hearing her own name mentioned from time to time appeared tense, though motion less. Her fingers quietly clasped her purse. Her head was turned away from the witness. Inside Job Hinted Reilly was plainly pressing his an nounced intention ol attempting to show the kidnaping wat. planned in side the Lindbergh home, by others than members of the family. He wanted to know what investi gation Lindbergh made of hlB ser vants before he y.lrea them, and what Investigation he made of them after the kidnaping. The flier said he depended upon the police for the latter investigation. He, himself, talked to Ollle Wheat., the butler, and Wheatley's wife, be fore he employed them, he said. There was laughter in the court room when Reilly remarked that some of the police woro not infallable. Nevertheless, Colonel Lindbergh said: "1 think we have very good police." Mrs. Wheutley. a widow now, sat in the court room. She wept when Lindbergh related the death of his former butler. Itiih.v lino Cold Colonel Lindbergh said his family usually spent only the weekends at Hopewell, but decldeti to remain over Monday the time the baby was taken because the baby had a cold. "Now, how many people knew the baby had a cold and that the baby BE THRIFTY-PAY LESS at UNUSUAL VALUES No Postage Charges for Mail Orders Listed here are Specials for Saturday and Monday along with a Few of Our Everyday Specials FREK Deliveries PHONE 73 m 30c ti Mcntholatum I 20c 60c Alka-Seltzcr 49c Armond's SI. 00 Face Pclr. 50c Lipstick Both for $1 50c VICK'S Nose Drops :54c 85c Hot Water Bottle 4ic 15c Scottissue 2 for 15c 75c Milk of Magnesia Quart 32c 50c Witch Hazel Pints 21c 50c Pure - Aspirin Tablets, 100s lie SI. oo Norwich Asnr & oil Pints (Both I.m, 43c n 25c Carter's Little Liver Pills 17c 50c Ipana Tooth Paste 39c SI. 00 Nornlrh Con.

"I doubt that anybody knew that on Monday," Lindbergh answered, "because as I recall there was some question aa to whether my wife mig.it not come to Englewood on Monday. I don't believe we knew that our selves Monday morning as I recall now." "So that if the family followed their usual course that Monday," Reilly pressed, "they would have re turned to Englewood?" "Well, if you say usual course we had only been there the house was newly built and we had been there only a few weekends so there was no catahlished precedent as to what our movements were." But your movements were In the knowledge of your butler and your butler's wife and your nursemaid, is that correct?" Nurse I nhifnrmed "Not completely, no. Miss Gow was in Englewood that Monday and she did not know until my wife called her, I think, I believe Tuesday. That Is something I can't testify to. what date my wife called her. I under stand she didn't know what we were soing to do until she was called." "How did you communicate with your wife that you would not be home Monday night?" "I believe that I called her that evening by phone." "Did you talk to the butler?" "He might have answered the phone, I don't remember that." "But he would know that you were not coming home Monday night after you finished talking to your wife, wouldn't-, he?" "He probably would, I can't say definitely, tout I think probably." Few New Plans "Very few people would know that you were going back to New York again on Tuesday, would they Colo nel?" "Very few people know what I do." "Yes, so that a person on the out side world or a gang on the outside world on Tuesday, March the 1st. would have knowledge as to where you were?" "Well, that depends upon their or ganization." "I couldn't depend upon any in formation that you gave?" "Well, not with my knowledge." No License Prank A.

Thi legal ity of Nealon's appointment was at tacked at the time, and it whs up held by the state attorney general. The Hood River and Jackson county situations are Identical, causing Dis trict Attorney Codding to Inquire Into Its legal phase? today, simply as a matter of sound policy. District Attorney Codding In his opinion holds, that an Oregon law pissed In 101)8. several years after the law upon which the Hood River county ruling was made, provides that county commissioners elected at the November geiifnil election, shall take office In January. Codding holds the law Is specific upon this point, and does not permit of any other interpretation, and takes precedent over the older law. Caster, a resident of Phoenix, and the county for 80 years, was elected last November over Commissioner" Nealon by a majority of approximate ly 450 votes. It was the upset of the last general election. Caster ran on the Democratic ticket. A press dispatch from Hood River reads as follows: HOOD RIVER, Jan. 3. iSpl) P.ecause County Clerk H. F. Blackman responded to an urge to delve Into an old volume of Oregon laws this week, Joe Smullln, who was elected coun . ty commissioner on the demo cratic tlckei last November, will sit In the bleachers (or the next six months. Blackman discovered that the law provides that county com missioners, county treasurers and county surveyors, when newly elected, shall not take office un til the July of the year following their election. Smullln was on hand yesterday to take up his duties, but P'i trlct Attorney Baker ruled that the law must be observed and Smullln retired, while the clerk notified Frank L. Keating, in cumbent, who was defeated last fall, to appear and carry on his duties for the noxt six months. Ma.
