Hauptmann Trial Is
Nearing Completion
In Flemington, N. J.
Wide Net Of Law Closing Tight
er Around Accused Baby
Kidnapper.
Confession Expected
Brief Outline of Defense Of
Most Famous Kidnapping
Case In History.
The wide net of the law is closing
tighter on Bruno Richard Haupt
mann, accused of kidnapping and
murdering the infant son of Colonel
Charles A. Linbergh, noted aviator.
For over three gruesome weeks
Hauptmann’s life has been hanging
by a thread. And even now, he
doesn’t know if he will be a free
man or burn in the electric chair
jn Jersey.
The most important part of the
trial is now under away, Hauptmann
himself taking the stand and swear
ing that be is an innocent man. The
prosecuting attorney, David T.
Wilentx, thinks not In forceful
words he is hammering out to the
jury that Hauptmann was the man
who stole the tiny baby and mur
dered it On the other side, Bdwgrd
J. Reilly, Council for the defense, is
confident that Hauptmann is an in
nocent man, and is doing all in his
power to prove it to the jury at
Flemington, New Jersey.
The only confession that Haupt
mann has made so far is that he
lied while being held in New York,
iut when Wilentz shouted* “lit*,
lies, lies, about the Lindbergh ran
som money,” the prisoner shot back:
“Well, you lied to, me, too!” At this
accusation, the court began to tttttr
mur. Hauptmann stated hi Wileflts*
St few remarks W§W passed, and
blow* almost wetted. At tills moemnt,
the Mdlft Vis hi an uproar,
Wflenta firmly- relieves that after
have a confession out of him stating
that he (Hauptmann) is the guilty
party. So far, Hauptmann is the
same man he was when ho came
to Flemington, but the strain is be
ginning to show on his features, and
a certain tenseness is heard in his
voice as he answers questions, which
to him, are vitally important. Below
is an outline of the defense of the
tfbm of the
the night of March
kidnapping
1, 1932.
That he was entertaining some
Arionds in his home at 1,279 East
222nd street, the Bronx, on the night
the ransom was paid.
That he was celebrating his birth
day at a party in his home on the
night that a f6 ransom bill waa
passed at Loew*s Sheridan Square
Theatre.
That the ladder found near the
Lindbergh house has been so handled
that accurate indentifications can
not be made on ft at the present.
That handwriting experts will’show
that the ransom notes were not
written by Hauptmann.
That both Hauptmann and his wife
had substantia] bank accounts be
fore the kidnapping but that they
have no money now, the defense
being financed almost wholly by his
lawyers.

Man Announces Date
For Opening Store
Jess P. Garner, Will Open Gar
ner's Economy Auto Supply,
February 8th.
Asheboro has seen many new busi
nes concerns open in the early days
of the new year as well as several
old businesses enlarge and change
hands. There are many buildings
now in process of modernization and
repair, and other trades are likely
to be completed within the month.
An interesting business that has an
nounced the opening date for Febru
ary 8th is Gamer’s Economy Auto
Supply, located in the present post
office block in the building former
ly occupied by Spoon’s Barber shop.
The barber shop has recently moved
into the new brick building at the
south of Hedrick’s Motor Company.
Mr. Gamer plans to carry a full
line of tires, batteries with acces
sories, and other parts for all types
of automobiles, paying special at
tention to electrical work. This sup
ply store is one of a large group
of the kind carrying accessories, and
the manager plans to be well stock
ed with supplies at all times.
The building is now undergoing a
thorough renovation, inside and out.
Beginning with a new front, the
carpenters, painters and other work
men are transforming the place into
an attractive, modem and convenient
place of business. Mr. Stutter & na
tive of Randolph came to Asheboro
twelve years ago and went into the
automobile and service business, a
partner of Henry L. Ingram in the
Ingrain-Gamer garage and filling
station, which has for many years
teen a leading station of the tow!tf
Mr. Garner, therefore, is experienced
in all lines of automobile business
and has many friends in town and
county who will be interested in his
new venture.
Interesting Sketch.
Of Early Days For
Christian Endeavor
February, Observed As Anni
versary Month For World
Wide Societies.
? Clark Founder
" i™gnv i«»wr in a
i Young People Of World
i Flfty-fW Years.
By S. W. Taylor, D. D.
The North Carolina Christian En
deavor Union will observe the first
week in February as Christian En
deavor week, arid the month, as
Stewardship month. During these
periods special prayers will be of
fered for Christian Endeavor, special
emphasis put on our relationship to
God, as his stewards of all the re
sources with which we are endowed,
and special offerings made for
Christian Endeavor work.
With this program before us, it
is a good time to review briefly the
origin, purpose, and progress of
Christian Endeavor.
As its name implies, the move
ment is purely a religious one. It
had its conception in the mind of
Dr. Francis E. Clark, now of sainted
memory, and was started while he
was pastor of Williston Congrega
tional church, Portland, Maine. The
date is February 2, 1881. Dr. Clark
had just closed a revival meeting in
his church that resulted in the con
version of a number of young peo
ple. He knew that if these young
people grew in Christian faith and
living it would be necessary for them
to have some form of religious ac
tivity. He, therefore, called them to
his parsonage, on the date already
given, to talk the matter over. The
outcome was the organization of the
Christian Endeavor Society.
In this small beginning, meant on
ly for Dr. Clark’s local church, he
and this group of young people did
much more than effect an organizar
tion for. their local church. They
started a religious movement that
had in it, potential possibilities and
powers that were destined to make
it a mighty factor in the religious
life of millions of young people.
Christian Endeavor, like other great
religious movements, came from God;
and for more than a half century
now to he exact, 54 years—God has
used it in a mighty way in saving
young people, and training them in
Christian service. Statistics that
indicate its growth are not at hand
at this writing. However, many
strong denominations have adopted
it as the organization best suited to
the needs of their young people, and
through these organizations, and in
other ways, it has been extended to
all parts of the earth. Its merit and
usefulness are attested by the fact
that from the beginning Christian
Endeavor has been able to call to
its service men and women of mark
ed powers of leadership. As a re
sult, its adherents are legion, and
it goes forward with an ever widen
ing circle of influence and power in
whining young people for Christ and
training them for his service.

Asheboro Schools
Finish Fall Term;
Examinations Over
With examinations over and the
fall work complete, the Asheboro
high school is now turning towards
the spring term, which began this
week. The examinations took place
last Monday and Tuesday, having
been postponed for a few days on
account of the illness of so many
pupils and instructors.
With the coming of the spring
term, many different activities will
take place in the school. Of course
the work will come first, but there
will also be a baseball team and the
graduation of the seniors, both of
which are looked forward to by
parents, townspeople, and the stud
ents themselves. The outlook is
bright for the next four months, and
it is believed that this year of 1935
will close one of the most successful
years in the history of the school.

Two Changes Made
In Randolph Rural
Work Meet Approval
Joe EOis, Farm And Garden
Supervisor, Promoted; Canoy
Takes Ellis Post.
Joe Ellis, who has served as coun
ty farm and garden supervisor for
Randolph since early last spring has
been appointed director of district
rural rehabilitation for district 15,
comprising Randolph, Guilford, and
Rockingham counties. Mr. Ellis will
have headquarters at Greensboro in
stead of in Asheboro as formerly.
While the people of Asheboro and
of Randolph county in general re
gret to see Mr. Ellis removed to the
Greensboro office, it is a decided
honor that has been bestowed by the
ERA and the new district officials
recognize the worth of Mr. Ellis as a
worker of this type.
Another change that also meets
with general approval is the ap
pointment of J. M. Canoy to fill the
vacancy made by Mr. Ellis. Mr.
Canoy assumed his duties as county
farm and garden supervisor, or sup
ervisor of rural rehabilitation for
Randolph. Mr. Canoy will not only
cooperate with the state and national
program in this county, but he is
a man of energy and ability. His
scholastic training has well fitted
him for this position. This training,
coupled with his practical knowledge
of such matters will stand rural
Randolph in good stead for a for
ward program.
C. W. Scott 111
C. W. Scott, well known citizen of
Asheboro, is critically ill at his home

his condition is unchanged and de
cidedly critical.

By Administrator.
Mrs. Mary Drake, a trained social
worker who has been connected for
two years with the FERA work in
Salisbury, assumed her duties in
Asheboro in charge of the case
workers. Mrs. Drake, who has serv
ed during this period as assistant to
the administrator in that unit, comes
to Randolph county well prepared as
well as entirely qualified to super
vise the workers in this unit. Mrs.
Drake was brought to Asheboro by
Charles Phillips, of Greensboro, who
is administrator for the fifteenth dis-.
trict, of which Randolph, Guilford
and Rockingham counties form the
group.
Mr. Phillips, now living in Greens
boro, is a native of Randolph coun
ty, having been bom and reared at
Trinity, a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. L.
Phillips, of that place. While Ran
dolph county’s accounts must all be
approved from this central office in
Greensboro, Mr. Phillips will keep a
watchful eye turned toward the wel
fare of the people of his home coun
ty. According to Mr. Phillips, the
present plans call for all local ac
counts to be paid from the central
office, although all local unit offices
will have purchasing accounts. All
records and disbursements, however,
are keut art district headquarters. .
It is probably of interest to the
people of Randolph county, to have
