Many of the elementary schools in the outlying district where there was no interlocking transportation with the central schools started a month ago and the high and central schools which made up a part of the transportation system started Thursday. Over 10,000 school children In the county are now at their desks and, according to informa tion gained from Supt. C. B. El ler, the schools are well organiz ed and progressing nicely with increased attendance reported from many sections of the coun ty. Wilkesboro school, one ot the largest outside of the North Wil kesboro City Administrative Unit, began with an enrollment of around 550 vith new students coming in each day. Barring unforeseen difficul ties excavation for North Wllkes- boro’s government-owned post- office building will be completed by Wednesday of this week, it was learned today from the sub contractor in charge ot this work. Gilbert Engineering Company, of Statesville, holds the sub con tract for making the excavation of the lot for the building. They have leased S. V. Tomlinson’s steam shovel and the dlyt is be ing moved rapidly from the building site on C Street to the survey for the new Reddies Riv er bridge just west of the city. The dirt, it is presumed, will be used toward making the fill for the bridge, which is • to be con structed in the very near future. Members of the firm of Lund- berg-Rich'er, who hold contract for the erection of the postoffice for the sum of $46,600, were here a few days ago and let sub contract to the Statesville firm.

The prisoner is Bruno Rich-. ard Hauptmann, 35,^ am alien and a carpenter by. trade, who enter ed the United" States in 1923 as a stowaway while on parole from a German prison. His wife and nephew, Hans Mueller, also were held for ques tioning. Making public full details of the arrest, which occurred Tues day. Police Commissioner O’Ry an said Hauptmann, a carpenter and cabinet maker, admitted he worked as a carpenter ' in the neighborhood of the Lindbergh home. Detectives have established, further, the commissioner said, that Hauptmann had access to a lumber yard in the neighbor hood where timber was found bearing the same ,,'ade ^ark as the lumber used to make the ladder—up which the kidnaper climbed about 10 o’clock the night of March 1, 1932. Police Commissioner John F. O’Ryan, announcing $13,750 of the $50,000 ransom money paid tor the baby, later found dead, was found in Hauptmann’s cellar in the Bronx, was asked: “In your opinion, does this solve the Lindbergh kidnaping?” O’Ryan conferred for a few minutes with J. Edgar Hoover, head of the bureau of investiga tion of the department of justice, and said: “Yes, It will.” After an afternoon filled with sensational rumors that the “break" long awaited had come, O’Ryan emerged from secret con ferences with Hoover and others at the Greenwich police station and Issued this terse statement: “We have in custody the man who received the ransom money. He is Bernard Richard Haupt mann, of 1279 East 222nd street, the Bronx. He is an alien who came to this country as a stowaway 11 years ago.” Positively Identified Among those at the police sta tion was the man of many mis sions in the long hunt—“Jafsie, * Dr. John A. P. Condon, aged welfare worker drawn into the search by the noted aviator after other intermediaries had failed. It was “Jafsie” who paid the $50,000 to the supposed kid napers—the night of Apyll 2, 1932, at a cemetery in the Bronx, a month after the kidnaping. After the announcement of the arrest. Commissioner O’Ryan said Hauptmann was identified positively as the recipient of the ransom money tn the cemetery. ijUer Reports ■Later reports Indicate that au thorities have more evidence against Hauptmann and will at tempt to show.,.that he not only received the ransom money but that he kidnaped the child. In the meantime he is being closely guarded and is being questioned in th«xhope that his explanations and alibis will be entirely brok en up.
