HAUPTMANN HAS NOTHING TO TELL PARDONS COURT (Continued From Page 1) mysteries of the four year old Lindbergh kidnap murder case. The name was signed to a deposit slip in 1933 when $2980 of the ran som money was put in a New York bank. Utter Studied The governor said the signatures on letter and slip were "similar." He awaited a full report from an unidentified New York handwriting expert to whom he submitted the letter. "I dont know what significance, If any, there is to the letter." Hoil man said. "It didn't sound like a crackpot letter." "As the zero hour in the Haupt mann case draws near," the letter read, "I feel Impelled to direct these few lines to your excellency in or der to dispel the pre conceived idea of the guilt of Hauptmann or rather to sustain and affirm you in your own and rightly so formed idea of his Innocence.

"All the poor bum is guilty of is his money madness, which made him risk a thousand dollars or so of his own good money in the be lief and greedy notion that he could get Independently rich and by hiding this cheaply acquired hoard he brought himself into all this trouble, nearly causing him to lose his life, which I hope will now be spared." The implication was that Hauptmann had purchased some of the $50,000 ransom bills as "hot money." The letter said the writer could not go into further details "for personal reasons." "As far as (Dr. John Condon is concerned," it said, "you would be well advised to take his assertions with a grain of salt. He has reasons." Parker's Theory Ellis H. Parker, chief of detectives of Burlington county who has expressed the belief that Hauptmann is innocent, said the author of the deposit slip and the author of the ransom notes used different methods of penmanship. Parker added that he had not accepted an opportunity to question Faulkner because he did not regard the man as "important." His identity had been established, Parker added, although other authorities said uiey had been unable to trace him.

An advertising copy writer named Jerome K. Faulkner, jumped to death from an lighth story window of the Chrysler Building, New York, shortly after Hauptmann was ar rested in September, 1934. Notes he left described his poor health. Agents of the Department of Justice said there was nothing to connect him with deposits of ransom money. Parker, the lone official to publicly announce that he was convinced of the condemned man's innocence, said he would not appear before the Pardons Court, which will meet at 10.30 a.

m. A meeting at State Prison, without precedent, would be an indication the court would hear Hauptmann personally plead his; case also unusual. Hauptmann, visited daily by Colonel Kimberling, remained silent and enigmatic. StiH Hopeful Kimberling said the prisoner was confident "something" would save him. Mrs.

Hauptmann, who has taken rooms in a local hotel, shared nis commence. Mrs. Hauptmann, long questioned by the police and exonerated, termed riaicuious" statements made to Anthony M. Hauck, Hunterdon county prosecutor, that a couple xesemDimg nerseir and her husband were seen on several occasions near the Lindbergh Hopewell home in 1831. She said she was never near the Lindberph estate before Hauptmann was arrested.

The Lindbergh baby was Kianapea March 1932. Hauck said today that he had not decided whether to Question Mrs. Hauptmann, but would study her stories as previously told to the state police. "It is not important to question her at the present time," he added. New Evidence Whether the court would call any witnesses was problematical.

It is not bound by law or precedent, and could call many or none. As lav as could be learned, only the State and defense attorneys and Colonel H. Norman Schwarzkopf. State police superintendent, had been invited to attend the closed session. The defense will offer new evidence, if it has any, including documents arriving in New York today on the liner Europa.

The documents were understood to be letters exchanged between Hauptmann and Fisch. The State, which at Flemington demanded Hauptmann be sentenced to death, felt its part in the case was closed. Attorney General David T. Wilentz will neither oppose nor consent to clemency. He will offer no new evidence but will stand on the record.

Unless the court grants Haupt mann's own plea or. he wins a reprieve he will be electrocuted a week from tonight. DELLEVUE STRATFORD CLAUDE H. BENNETT. General Manager In the heart of Philadelphia socially, commercially, and geographically.

Water flowing beneath it had flooded all but one field on the island, had partially filled the cellar of the Sheaffer home, and fre quently lapped at the porch as It rose and fell.

Fry, who lives at 2013 Manada street, and Harry Bairn, 1321 South Twelfth street, the third WPA worker, agreed that their stay on the island "was no picnic."

HARRISBURG tgg TELEGRAPH FRIDAY EVENTNG JANUARY 10, 1936 TEN MAROONED ON ISLAND, RESCUED (Continued From Page 1) home last night, Bairn related: I saw the Johnstown flood and I saw the old Camel back bridge go. But I never saw the river rise so fast in my life as it did Tuesday ano during tne nignt.

"At the point of the Island," Fry related, "to the north of the house, the ice was jammed twenty and thirty feet high. Then the water moved it. But fortunately it sepa rated and moved to each side of the island and not toward the center. The last time it jammed was early yesterday and I saw it wasn't likely to break very soon, so I de cided it was time to get off that Island if I didn't want to stick around for weeks." Recorded in Chalk Bairn recounted how the water's endless rising and falling had been recorded with chalk marks on the side of the house. "I watched the fires, too, and kept tnem going.

But what I minded most was not having any tobaccy. I go crazy witnout my chewing to Daccy." There was some "tobaccv" in the package the Teleplane dropped on the Island, but Baim had not re mained there long enough to get it The Sheaffers hated to leave their livestock, two horses, a dog ano two cats, "but we felt better about it when we put a quart and a pint, oi mil out lor the cats and gave the dog a good feeding and a lot or bones to Knaw oneaner explained.

All night Tuesday a reporter called the home every thirty minutes at Sheaffer's request to make sure that everything was still ail rignt.

"You. know that Teleplane is a wonderful thing. Think what that would nave meant to us if we couldn't have gotten off the island safely. You dropped food and tobacco earlier in the afternoon, and then through your reports of the river stage we decided to take a chance and come over on the caoie."
