And how long did you stay around the Majestic hotel or th agency looking for work? A. When I was working, I worked until 5 o'clock and when I was looking for a Job, I was sitting around the agency the whole day. Wilentz interposed: -Am I to take it this means March 1, 1932?" It was so agreed.

Q. What did you do then? A. I went home, changed clothes, and went down to the bakery to get my wife. Q. You remember seeing her at the bakery that evening, do you not? A.

Yes. Q. And you had supper at the bakery? A. Yes. Q.

And then what did you do? A. We went home. Q. And did you stay at home that night and sleep at home that night until the next morning? A. Yes.

The deliberate demeanor of the stowaway from Germany showed itself in the long cross-examination by Wilentz, who was in charge of the Jersey case. His voice, with the heavy German accent, was clear. His eyes were alert. Now and then he fingered a handkerchief that peeked from a breast pocket. -Have you ever built a ladder?" Wilentz asked him suddenly.

"No," he answered. -Do you know how to build a ladder?" -I suppose," Hauptman answered, -every carpenter knows how to build a ladder." Hauptmann freely stated he work Fifth Appendage May Be Tail or Simply Extra Leg; Ripley Is Informed "Whew, that was some Jump! exclaimed W. Pleasant of 831 Brat-ton street as a harmless appearing frog leaped casually halfway across his garden Monday morning when aDoroached. hoe in hand. It was quite a surprise, if not a pleasant surprise, to Mr.

Pleasant, when you consider the size of his garden. That sort of thin called for an investigation, and investigate he did. did Mr. W. E.

Pleasant. It was ouite a strenuous investigation, but Mr. Pleasant was rewarded when he cornered the creature cf the fabulous leaps. "Now, now, Mr. PleasantP said neighbors when apprised of his catch, and then added, "better let us smell your breath.

But Mr. Pleasant was in no mood to parade his breath he was rather short of it just then, after the chase. Mutely, and with pardonable pride, he upheld the gloss jar containing his quarry. In that moment Mr. Pleasant's varacity soared above par, for the beholders beheld their first five-legged frog.

Some contended that the spare member was a tall instead of a leg, but Mr. Pleasant, still panting from his exertion, was Inclined to believe the liitn appendage was a leg.

"I'm beginning to believe added another, "that this jumpin frog from Calaveras county wouldn't stand a chance against this fellow. "Let's see him jump, suggested still another.

"Oh, no. replied Mr. Pleasant. "Youll have to take my word for that. I've only got two legs, and that makes him three up on me.

Besides I'm not as young as I used to be, though I'm not too old to learn. The whole story has been written to Robert L. Ripley, Bclleve-It-Or- Not author. BRANDON "CITIZEN HAS NEW POSITION BRANDON, Oct. 15Dr.

501-306 Standard Life HuVdinjr 2331 Office Thone ICS Residence X2C3 -J and The Mississippi supreme court Monday handed down decisions in two important cases: affirming a $25,000 Judgment against the Alabama and Vlcfcsburg and Y. and M. V. railroads and holding that levee boards have the right to appropriate sixteenth section lands without compensating county of school funds. The Judgment against the railroad companies was awarded to the widow and sons of David Graham, Bolton banker, for his death which occurred when his automobile crashed through an overhead bridge on the Jackson-Clinton highway April 5, 1933.

The opinion held that -it was the duty of the carriers to keep the overhead bridge In repair conforming to standards which would prevent such accidents. To the contention of the railroads that the bridge was built in conformity to highway regulations in force at that time. 1921, it was pointed out that since then rules governing bridges and guard rails have been made more rigid and that highway officials testified a stronger guard rail was necessary. Concerning the railroad's liability the decision ctncluded: -It is true that if the appellant (railroad) companies have discharged their duty to keep the bridges in 'such condition as to render it reasonably safe for persons using ordinary cars, there can be no legal liability to anyone, but If they negligently failed to discharge their duty in this regard, and their failure to do so contributed to the injury and death of the deceased, a recovery Is not barred by reason of the negligence of the driver of the car. Such negligence would only operate to diminish the damages recoverable." In a second decision the right of Mississippi levee boards to appropriate sixteenth section lands for improvement of levee systems without compensating county or school funds was upheld by the court.

The question was brought before the court In an appeal taken oy Washington county from a Washington chancery court ruling which sustained the right of the Mississippi levee commission board to enter upon and appropriate such sixteenth section lands as might be necessary for the improvement levees. The county contended that the act creating the board of Missis sippi levee commissioners is uncon stitutional and that the -court be low, therefore, was in error in sustaining the motion for a directed verdict." Responding to this contention the high court's opinion declared: -It will not be necessary for us to pass" on the constitutionality of the limitation found in section 12 of the act creating the levee board, for the reason that we have reached the conclusion that, regardless of the constitutionality of this provision, the decree of the court below was correct. The opinion further pointed out that the constitution of 1830 prohibited the sale of sixteenth section lands, but also mandatorily required the maintenance of levee systems and recognized two levee districts, the Mississippi and the Yazoo-MIsslsslppl delta levee district. The constitution, said the opinion, made no provision for compensating any agency of the state for public lands taken or appropriated to the public use of building levees. In conclusion the oinion held: In view of the absolute necessity appropriating or damaging some of the school lands in order to appropriate as much of them as might be necessary for the accomplishment of the greater and paramount benefit to all of the people in the district, as well as the entire state, must neecssarily be Implied from the mandate to construct and maintain an effective system of levees." In another decision the court affirmed a five-year sentence me- ted out to Buddy whitmore for the fatal shooting of Seemrji Phillips in Alcorn county.

COPIAH HOME STRUCK BY FIRE HAZLEHURST, Oct. 15 Fire of undetermined origin destroyed a dwelling last night belonging to S.

C. Wiltshire on highway 51, Just at the edge of the city limits. A passing motorist gave the alarm, and nothing was saved as the house was locked, the occupants being away on a visit. Another blaze was discovered on the roof of the home owned by Phil Baker, Jr. but was extinguished by quick work on the part of firemen and neighbors.

Lost week flames destroyed a house owned by a colored resident in the was saved, Wj- From the Tongue of a Smart Shoe ENNA JETTICK in making the kidnap ladder was traced. Wilentz turned to the day of the arrest, to the $20 gold ransom certificate found on Hauptmann. Didn't you tell your captors that the bill was part of your savings? A. Yes. Q.

Was that the truth? A. No, I was trying to hide the money. At the Greenwich Police Station where Hauptmann was taken after his arrest, he said he told "Mr. Lyons (Inspector John J. Lyons) where I had put the $14,000 more." This was the first indication that Hauptmann had told authorities he had hidden money in his garage.

The presence of the money was announced by police as the result of a search. Wilentz made no reference as to how Hauptmann came into possession of the ransom money. With the cross-examination finished, Fawcett took up the ransom theme. Hauptmann reiterated his long-avowed statement that the money was left at his home by Isadore Fisch, a friend who was engaged in the fur business. Fisch went to Germany soon after the kidnaping and died in Leipzig.

Directly, Fawcett asked: "Were you in jersey on March 1, 1932?" A. No. Q. Now Richard, do you know anything at all about the Lindbergh kidnaping? A. Nothing at all.

Q. Did you murder the child, Charles Augustus Lindbergh? A. No. Q. On March 1, 1932 or any other time? A.

No. "I rest my case. Fawcett said. Wilentz brought to the bar the closet panel on which were found the telephone number and address of Dr. John F.

Condon "Jafsie" the Intermediary and the serial numbers of the two billss. "Is that your Wilentz asked. It might be. I won't say no Hauptmann studied the panelfor a few minutes and added: "The numbers are in my writing; I don't know anything about the other." Hauptmann admitted to possession of the gun found in the garage of the home. He owned up to caching the ranson money in the same place.

Hauptmann started as if to leave the chair, a look of relief spreading over his face. But Wilentz leaped from his chair, started toward the prisoner, shouted: "Didn't you build a ladder and climb up it Into the baby's room and did you murder the baby?" Hauptmann, grasping the arms of the witness chair, half arose, raised his voice for the first time and shouted back, defiantly: -NO." His dark eyes flashed as he was dismissed from the stand.
