"There also was written on a
board in the closet the serial num
bers of certain bills. These numbers
are now being checked. One of
them, and possibly all, we believe
will turn out to be numbers of the
Lindbergh bills. This board could
be inserted or removed at will."
The chain of circumstances which
authorities hope will link Haupt
mann to the abducti6n, as well as
to the $50,000 ransom extortion,
was further strengthened by two
other major developments:
1. Disclosure by department of
justice agents that the footprints of
the one-time machiner-gunner in
the Oerman army are similar to
those found in the earth about the
Hopewell, N. J., home of the Lind
berghs.
2. Discovery in the garage of
Hauptmann's home of nails similar
in size and markings to those used
in construction of the ladder, up
which the kidnaper climbed the
night of March 1, 1932, to steal the
famous baby from his crib.
Early Report
New York, Sept. 20.—The Lind
bergh baby kidnaping case—the
most sensational crime of modern
times, neared a solution with spec
tacular swiftness tonight after the
arrest of a German fugitive and
the recovery of part of the $50,000
ransom.
The prisoner is Bruno Richard
Hauptmann, 35, an alien and a
carpenter by trade, who entered the
United States in 1923 as a stowaway
while on parole from a German
prison.
His wife and nephew, Hans Muel
ler, also were held for questioning.
Making public full details of the
arrest, which occured Tuesday,
Sept. 18, Police Commissioner O'Ry
an said Hauptmann, a carpenter
and cabinet maker, admitted he
worked as a carpenter in the neigh
borhood of the Lindbergh home.
Detectives have established, fur
ther, the commissioner said, that
Hauptmann had access to a lumber
yard in the neighborhood where
timber was found bearing the same
trade mark 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 P.
O'Ryan announcing $13,750 of the
$50,000 ransom money paid for the
baby, later found dead was found in
Hauptmann's cellar in the Bronx,
was asked: "In your opinion, does
this solve the Lindbergh kidnap
ing?"
O'Ryan conferred for a few mill-

Will Suspend ERA
Projects In Yadkin
(Continued From Page One)
care for unemployed people is re
duced to the minimum.
With few exceptions, we are sus
pending all work projects in the ru
ral areas and removing farm labor
ers from relief rolls in order that
farmers and others offering private
employment may be assured ade
quate help during the harvesting
season."
Work projects to be expected are
those dealing with the handling of
the 100,000 cattle brought into the
THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, EUUN, NORTH CAROLINA
State from the drought-stricken
areas of the Midwest and the can
ning priject. *
Mrs. O"Berry said the discontin
uance of work projects and the re
moval of employable people from
the relief rolls is in line with the
Administration's general policy of
rehabilitation.
We make every effort to see that I
our relief clients return to private'
employment where they may contin- I
ue in the work in which they have
been trained, or work which they
have been accustomed to do, when
the employment is available. We
believe that employment now is
available ,to the large majortiy of
farm workers on our rolls."
Mrs. O'Berry said that relief for
unemployable people will be con
tinued as usual.
About 200 families were removed
from the relief rolls in Yadkin
county Saturday, Sept. 22. These
families are mostly those who have
tobacco to sell.
The general sweeping order has
taken from the relief rolls of the
county all families where there is
an employable person in that fam
ily, which will reduce the relief
| families by about two-thirds.

Whenever words of comfort seem
to fall short of the situation we are
reminded of the cemetery salesman
who was trying to sell a lot to a lit
tle old lady. He wound up by say
ting, "Just think, wouldn't it be a
great comfort to know that after
you die you would be buried beside
this beautiful lake?" "What!" ex
claimed his prospect, "with my rheu
matism?"
