FOX VALUES 6 11 4 In Woodstock, N. a discarded pair of shoes offered a new clue to Hauptmann's whereabouts after the ransom was paid. George Jiussell of Woodstock examined pictures of the thin-lipped German and "felt positive" he was the man who spent several days in that vicinity in mid-April, 19.t2, doing odd carpenter jobs. "He was very secretive and wouldn't tell anybody his name," Russell said.

"He wouldn't look at newspapers. He spoke with a German accent, but he didn't talk very much. "A few days after he came here he threw his shoes away and bought new ones. His old ones were still very good, and when I asked him why he threw them away he said it was because they got wet. I picked them up, and 1 still have them." Russell offered the shoes to investigators, who will compare them with the plaster casta of footprints left in St.

Raymond's Cemetery the night the ransom was paid.
