more than 60 miles from the scene
of the crime, when Baby Lindbergh
was stolen. The dead German
furrled, Isador Flsch, and not
Hauptmann. got the $50,000 ransom

Hauptmann's attorneys heightened
the drama of their surprise by calling
upon the defendant to assist.
"Stand up, Mr. Hauptmann," cried
Frederick A. Pope of defense counsel.
Hauptman came to his feet.
"Is that the man?" Pope swept his
hand toward the waiting defendant.

ate.

county objected to the salary In
crease In Deschutes county on the
grounds that Marion county with a
much larger population only paid Us
treasurer $1,800 annually.

salaries could not be compared be
cause, due to lack of assistants, such
an officer In the smaller county
would be loaded with more work.
