Flemington, N. J., Jan. 2.—A
swift moving drama, the trial of
Bruno Richard Hauptmann, dour
German carpenter charged with
kidnapfing and murdering the
first Lindbergh baby, was rushed
through opening steps today.
Before the sun had set on the
first day of the celebrated trial,
six men and tour women had
been selected as jurors to try
Hauptmann for his lifd. Only
two more were needed.
At this stage, court was ad
journed for the day, with the
prospect the jury would be com
pleted first thing in the morn
ing.
A special panel of 48 persOnus'
was exhausted and -.state and.

llcenae ’Plates’ arthe branch of
fice of the Carolina Motor duo
here at the close of business yes
terday were'far ahead of the
number for the corresponding
date a year ago, It was learned
from J. C. McDiarmld, manager
of the local office.
Although sales have been ex
ceedingly heavy since Saturday,
there are yet around 1,500 cars
in the local territory which do
not have the 1936 plates, accord
ing to the estimate made by the
license bureau.
Of a total of around 2,500
1935 plates sold here, 1,900 have
been for the various types of au
tomobiles and 600 for trucks,
according to the records of the
license bureau.
The office is located in the
Yadkin Valley Motor company
on Ninth street and is open from
9 a. m. until 4 p. m. During the
past tour days a steady stream of
motorists have visited the office
and purchased their plates.
Following the same policy that
was pursued last year, no exten
sion of time has been granted
for use of the 1934 tags and pa
trolmen have been very busy in
this section stopping cars who
that do not bear the new plates,
which are made up of slh'er let
ters on a black background.
All motorists are warned to
secure the 1935 plates or be
arrested. Estimates coming
out of Raleigh yesterday in-
44^-jaore- than h«tf“rf
the^fogistered car owners in the
state had secured their plates
and that all branch offices of the
Carolina Motor club selling the
licenses have been exceedingly
busy since the latter days of De
cember.
Eleven surveys for rural elec
tric power lines have been com
pleted in Green county.

At a recent meeting of the

quite often, espedally on Satur
days and other special days, on
account of the double parking
on this street, the traffic becomes
so jamm(id that not infrequent
ly It becomes Impossible to pass
through it for a considerable
time. A further observation
was stated that it Is a common
oecurranco for long trucks to be
double parked opposite each other
on this street which fact alone
would make it impossible tor
more than one car to IXMS through
the street at a time.
Another, eimdition was men
