Lindbergh To Testify Today Regarding Child's Death; Ransom Story Told WASHINGTON, May 8. () The notorious uaston B.

Means was on trial today, and on the witness stand across the room sat Mrs. Evalyn Walsh McLean, clutching a little black handbag containing a rope of diamonds two feet long and jeweled bracelets worth a king's ransom. As the bulky, round-faced convict ed swindler shifted in his seat, the distinguished woman, once fabulously wealthy and brilliant in society, com posedly told with new details the story of how Means and Norman T. Whitaker, known as "the Fox," got from her $104,000 in return for a promise to return the Lindbergh baby. She testified they then sought $35,000 more with which to replace the marked money which CqI, Charles A.

Lindbergh had paid out through "Jafsie" in the pitiful at tempt to get back his child, whose body even then was lying on a lone ly hillside almost within sight of his New Jersey home. The jewels in Mrs. McLean's hand' bag were those she had turned over to a friend, Miss Elizabeth Poe of the editorial staff of The Washing ton Post, with a request that 6he pawn them to get the needed $35,000. Because Miss Poe became suspi clous and talked to Mrs. McLean's lawyers, the huge hoax was uncov ered and Means was sentenced to 15 years in the penitentiary.

The money has not been recovered. Today Means and "the Fox," were on trial for conspiracy in attempting to get the $35,000. Mrs. McLean brought the jewels as evidence of their intent. Her gtory was half- told when court adjourned until to morrow.

Colonel Lindbergh himself enters the case tomorrow, when he will un dergo the tragic ordeal of telling to the court that the child was taken from his home and later was found dead. Proof of theee well-known facts was made necessary by insist ance of the defense that nothing would be accepted without proof. The colonel and his wife flew to Wash ington late today from Columbus, Ohio. Mrs. McLean told how she met Means many times as the ransom plans proceeded, how she turned over $100,000 in old unmarked bills in the presence of Rear Admiral Emory S.

Land, cousin of Colonel Lindbergh mother, and Rev. Fran cis J. Hurney. She described vigils at her mother's home in Maryland nearby, waiting in vain for the baby's return. SENT TO PENITENTIARY INDIANAPOLIS, May 8.

Gov.

Louis Brann visited the city at noon and after a brief survey issued an appeal to the entire state to come to the aid of the stricken community. He left Adj. Gen. James W. Han-eon here to command the 25 national guardsmen who augmented local police officers.

General Hanson was told by the governor to "get all the men and material" he needed to help the people there. Later this afternoon 50 additional guardsmen were ordered to report from Bangor and the 75 soldiers augmented the 100 special police sworn in to prevent looting of abandoned property. Authorities, although admitting that they believed an incendiary started the blaze, declined to discuss the matter for fear of interfering with their investigation. Governor Brann, in Augusta, said he would leave for Washington immediately after a session of the executive council this evening to apply for financial aid for the city from the Reconstruction Finance corporation. The Red Cross set up headquarters close to the devastated area.

Automobiles and trucks rolled up to the courthouse to discharge quantities of contributed garments, blankets and cooking utensils, and emergency provisions.

While there was no definite word, it was understood on high authority the navy also has been working on a plan to reduce officer personnel by around 1,000 men.

Welter said he received a tip some time ago from one of his undercover men that the abduction was planned. Trevilllan was notified and agreed to co-operate with authorities. At 5:45 p. Trevlllian was abducted from in front of his Free-port office, Welter said, and taken to a farm house recently rented by Stubbe near Rock Grove.

The house already was being watched by authorities. About 10 p. Welter and other officers raided the house, arrested the men and freed Trevil llan. Welter said the men confessed readily.

However, it was adopted as an amendment to the administration farm relief measure, which is in the last throes of congressional dispute. It will be sent to the White House, leaders at the capitol say, within a few days. Officials of the federal reserve system have expressed the opinion that the reserve banks would cooperate fully and do their utmost to carry out the purpose of the credit expansion provision. They termed the plan the most logical and easily controlled inflation scheme that could be worked out and one which would be under the guidance of experts at every stage. The bill gives the administration the power to stop its operation at any time and prevent undue expansion.

Holders of defaulted foreign securities would deposit them with the new corporation. Its machinery would be clothed with authority to take over the functions of any fiscal agents for any securities in default and borrow on the bonds thus deposited. The corporation would negotiate for resumption of payments due or in arrears, or arrange terms on which securities might be held or converted into new securities.

Any plan or agreement made would be binding on depositors provided consent is obtained from 60 percent of the American holders depositing with the corporation. The Reconstruction Finance corporation would be authorized to lend $75,000 annually for three years to the new organization, which, in turn, could levy a small pro rata charge on the bond owners to meet expenses. Johnson asserted there had been a "regular racket" in foreign securities in this country with many "reputable bankers palming off on the public literally billions of securities, knowing full well they would be defaulted." Just before passage, Senator Kean, Republican, New Jersey, moved to strike out the provision in the general bill requiring directors of companies to sign the statements presented to the trade commission, but this amendment was rejected without a record vote. Kean argued that nobody would become a director of a corporation if he were made liable for losses running into millions of dollars, but received only $10 or $20 a month as a director and knew nothing of the pertinent facts regarding the se curities. "I would like to limit responsibility of directors to those knowingly com mitting fraud," Kean said.

"Officers should be responsible and civilly liable, but not directors. Chairman Fletcher, Democrat, Florida, of the banking committee which drew the senate bill, said its purpose was to protect the Investor and honest business. Estimating $90,000,000,000 had been invested in securities "now practical ly worthless, he said the measure would prevent further exploitation of the public; give the investor adequate information; restore his confidence and draw capital into productive channels of industry. Both the house and senate bills provide for registration of security issues with the federal trade commission, and for submission to the commission of full information about the issuing company. The senate bill would make directors and officers of a company responsible for statements filed with the commission, while under the house bill they, would be liable for civil damages only in case they knowingly misrepresented the facts.

Senators Fletcher. Glass, Wagner, I Norbeck and Goldsborough were named conferees to adjust, differ-; enres between the house and senate bills. BAIL SET FOR BUCK BROTHERS (Continued From Page One) men were involved but later changed it to one. "They dumped the kid on my hands," he sobbed, Kenneth was arraigned on a charge of kidnaping and extortion while his brother. 13 years his senior, was charged with extortion alone.

A special session of the grand jury will convene next week and if indictments are returned on the basis of what police claim are confesssions by both men the usual preliminary hearing will be eliminated. The high bail was set by Judge Welsh after District Attorney William C. Crossley had told the court that "if the commonwealth's contentions are true, kidnaping is worse than murder in many cases." Judge Welsh, in setting the bail, said kidnaping was "one of the most heinous crimes there is because of the worry and mental strain inflicted on those to whom the victim is dear." Kenneth asked for a week's continuance so he might obtain a lawyer. An adjournment of two weeks finally was agreed upon.
