New Jersey Moving
to Obtain Custody
of Suspect on Homi
cide Charge
New York, Sept. 21 (AP)—A stolid
mild-mannered german, who fidgeted
during extensive questioning in the
police line-up, displayed no emotion
today when a magistrate held him
without bail on a charge of receiving
$50,000 paid by Colonel. Charles A.
Lindbergh two years ago in a futile
attmept to kidnaped son.
The German, Bruno Richard Haupt
mann, 35 looked at the door of the
Bronx court room during his arraign
ment on a formal charge of extor
tion. He had nothing to say except
to give his consent to detention until
Monday. This consent was necessary
because the legal limit for holding &
prisoner under a short affidavit is 48
hours.
Meanwhile, New Jersey, where the
Lindbergh baby was kidnaped and
slain, moved to obtain custody of the
prisoner on a charge of homicide. An
extradition warrant charging that
crime, was signed by by Governor A
Harry Moore as TK¥ fiifSFslep iitan
attempt to have Hauptmann taken
there.
This move gave added emphasis
to a statement by Assistant Chief In
spector John J. Sullivan in the po
lice line-up. Sulivan told the assemb
led detectives that “we have a perfect
extortion case,” and said there was
no doubt in his mind that “he will
have to answer a more serious
charge.”
