SNOW MELTING FAST
ON MOUNTAIN LEVELS
With a gradual tmw continuing to
reduce steadily the snow depth on
mountains of southern Oregon, fig
ures available today showed that
areas recently covered by four and
five-foot drifts are now scarcely cov

Iny. On the Siskiyou mountains the
depth Is only 10 Inches, as compared
to 56 . Inches reached during the
height of the recent storm. Sno-v

considerably under that level, while
on the Greensprlngs the flakes also
lie no deeper than a foot.
The forest service reported today
that two feet, eight inches, Is the

DEFENSE WITNESS
SAYS BABY WITH
Fl!
(Continued from Pe One)
Important first ransom note, known
the the nursery note, "was written by
a left-handed man trying to disguise
his handwriting."
He charged, moreover, the chart
prepared by Albert S. Oaborn, chief
handwriting expert for the state,
which wss used by Oborn and other
experts to illustrate basis for compar
ing the ransom notes with Haupt
mann's handwrlttng. ignored all but
three words in the first not.
Up to the noon recess, when he was
still undergoing direct examination,
Trendley took up the nursery note
line by line and word by word to show
why he believed Hauptmann was not
the writer.
Note Writer Unknown
Rellly declared:
"We never contended Flsch wrote
the notes or that he perpetrated the
crime. I believe that he got the ran
som money. We don't know who
wrote the ransom notes."
The argument concerned a ChrlBt-
mas card handed to Trendley with a
query as to any possible similarities
between the hand writing on It and
the handwriting in the 14 ransom
notes which followed the kidnaping
and slaying of Baby Charles A. Lind
bergh, Jr., of which Hauptmann is
accused. The state objected. The
card was not immediately Identified,
though the discussion that followed
Indicated It was from Flsch.
Rellly argued: .
"We are not here t prove who
wrote the ransom notes, but to prove
Hauptmann didn't write them.'
Handwriting Disguised
Trendley testified that the first
ransom note, known as the nursery
note, was written In disguised hand,
and said It was his opinion the left
hand may have been used sometimes.
Trendley was still on the stand when
court adjourned for the noon recess.
There was a slight delay in the be
ginning of Trendley's testimony be
cause the state wanted to get Into the
record & hospital record regarding the
testimony of Louis Kiss, one of
Hauptmann's alibi witnesses.
Edward J. Rellly, chief defense at
torney, asked Trendley:
"As a result of your study and ex
amination of the ransom notes and
the Hauptmann request writings, are
you In a position to render an opinion
as to whether or not Hauptmann. this
defendant, wrote the ransom notes?"
Not Bruno's Writing
In my opinion." said Trendley, "he
did not."
Tho ransom notes represented a
cardinal point in the state's case
against Hauptmann. The first note
was left on the window sill of the
Lindbergh nursery the night the baby
was stolen, March 1, 1932. The state
contends that the man who wrote the
first note also climbed a ladder at the
window of the nursery, stole the baby

and dashed It to death a the ladder
broke on the way down.
Eight experts qualified by the state
gave their positive opinion that
Hauptmann wrote that note as well
as the IS others which were received
by Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh thru
diverse means.
One of the state experts. Albert S.
O&born, declared the evidence that
Hauptmann wrote the notes was
"Irresistible, unanswerable and over
whelming." 3

Leave it to Connie Mack to come
up with some revolutionary idea. The
veteran manager of the Philadelphia
Athletics insists that his plana for
1935 place Jimmy Foxx behind the
bat.
Mack followed that announcement
with the release of Charley Berry,
who caught 99 games In 1934 before
he fractured hlo leg In Cleveland.
That left only Frank Hayes, a power
ful youngster who came directly to
the Athletic from high school.
So It looks a though Mack Is real.
ly serious about his plans, for Foxx.
Jimmy joined the Athletics as a
catcher In 1929. He waa sent ro Provi
dence that year, but returned to
Philadelphia beiore the season ended.
He . was strictly a catcher In 1026
and 1927.
Since that time he has done no
regular catching, playing almost ex
cluslvely at first base. Occasional In
juries to the regular third basemen
forced him to fill In at the hot
corner now and then. .
Cuts Batting Availability.
For the last six years he has ne
glected the catching phase of his
baseball education. Now he la going
to try to pick up the loose ends
and begin again.
Foxx Is without a doubt one of
the most versatile players In base
ball, so tt la possible that he can
swing tt.
'If Connie Is willing to try the
experiment, I certainly am." Foxx de
clared on his return from touring
the Orient with the major leaguers.
There Is at least one drawback to
the experiment. Foxx's outstanding
value to his team is his slugging.
As a catcher he will be doing well,
Indeed, If he is able to play 100
gamea a season. How are the Ath
letics going to benefit by having
their best slugger on the bench one
third of the season?
There were only eight catchers In
the major leagues last season who
played In 100 or more games. They

The absence of Foxx "a big bat at

the club. Some surmise that Connie
Mack will overcome this loss by send
ing Jimmy to first bw at such
times as he takes a rest from catch
ing. Putting Big Shot on the Spot

such great chances with the team's

might cost the Athletics their

Foxx Is still regarded by many as
a callow youth, yet 1935 will mark
the 11th season he has spent In the
A's uniform. A veteran mujor leaguer
and a 10-year man, and all while
he Is still well under the 30-year
mark. He passed his 27th birthday
