The Department of Justice man refused to divulge his own identity in keeping with a departmental rule.

He admitted after the interview that he obtained nothing more from Russell than Russell told United States Marshal Murphy yesterday. He said that the department will check every detail of Russell's story and also will check back on his personal history. He said the department has received many similar stories- and as a matter of routine is checking them all in every detail. Russell has a record of six arrests and two jail escapes. He is reported to have told United States Marshal Murphy that Hauptmann helped him to escape from the Westchester County Jail at Eastview, Feb 3, He was serving a year's sentence at the Westchester County Jail on a charge of carrying a loaded revolver in Yonkers, on Jan 23, 1930.

According to his own admissions to Marshal Murphy, he was friendly with Hauptmann and also Isador Fisch. now dead, who was involved in the ransom money investi-cation by Hauptmann and later ab solved by the Government The marshal said that Russell told him that he, was born in Wyoming, had lived much of hi life in Nebras sr I Widths from AAA to C. here and testify in Edwards' defense. Requests were made over long distance telephone by Frank McGuigan, chief of defense counsel. "Eased Her Into Water" Dist Atty Lewis picked up the cross-examination with Edward's prevoius statement he struck Freda with a blackjack after she was alleged to have been dead from the fall in the boat in the course of a swimming party at night on the lake.

"Your purpose in striking Freda with this blackjack was to give he appearance of an accident?" asked Lewis. "Yes." replied Edwards. "Edwards, you did not throw her in the water, did you?" "No, I did not." "Well, you eased her into the water?" "Yes." "And you hit her a terrific blow, didn't you?" "I can't say how hard it struck "The blow was so terrific when you let her have it, as you put it, that it broke the strap?" "I don't know." Father, Mother on Stand After one or two further questions, Edwards was excused. His father, Daniel Edwards, took the stand next. 'These letters," he 'said gruffly, "were written by a boy in puppy love." Throwing back his head, the father declared: "I shall stand by him." Mrs Edward-, "Bobby's" mother, followed her husband to the stand.

It was her first time in the courtroom, and she offered her brief bit of testimony in a trembling voice. Yesterday was her 48th birthday. She told the jury that on the night Freda was killed "Robert restless and I told his father." She was excused without cross-examination. Her "boy" wiped his-eyes with his hand when she passed him on her way back to her seat. The mother bit her lips and gave Robert only a fleeting, yearning glance.

The defense then began to call its character witnesses', starting with Rev Thomas Hughes, who characterized Edwards as "a peaceful -young man." Edwards reputation was attested to by Rev R. J. Reese. John Richards, engineer; Reese S. Davis, assessors' clerk; Archie Wolfe, business man; John Panco, salesman; Austin Gibbons, Harry Myrley, William Hol-leran, brokerage salesman; Arthur PowelL manager of the brokerage office in which Robert, and Freda were once employed; Anna McGroar-ty and Edna Hughes, Edwardsville schoolteachers; Morgan Reach, school principal; R.

CONRAD'S AUDITOR IN PLUMBING INSPECTOR CASE Two Cambridge Veterans Seek City Position Judge Henry T. Lummus of the Supreme Judicial Court today appointed William M. Blatt, Boston attorney, to sit as auditor on the petition for a writ of mandamusv brought by Dennis F.

Sheehan of Cambridge, who seeks to void the appointment of John F. Brogan as plumbing inspector of the city of Cambridge, and asks that he be appointed to the position him-' self. No date has yet been set for hearings on the case. Mr Sheehan brought his petition against James M. Hurley, chairman of the Civil Service Commission, and John J.

Terry, building inspector for the city of Cambridge. The petitioner says that he took the examination for plumbing inspector, passed it and qualified for appointment. He says that he is a disabled war veteran, and as such was entitled to preference and should have been placed at the head of the list Instead, he says, the name of Brogan, a war veteran who is not disabled, was placed first, and Brogan was appointed to the position 5y Building Inspector Terry. Sheehan seeks to have the eligible list revised so that his name will head it, and he also asks that the plumbing inspector's post in Cambridge be declared vacant and that Building Inspector Terry be ordered to appoint him to it. One question before the court today was whether Mr Sheehan is disabled or not.

Counsel for the petitioner argued that Sheehan had been wounded at Belleau Wood and that a doctor for the Civil Service hari sppti the wound and had D1VI1 stated that it bothered the petitioner considerably. An answer nlea Dy commissioner u.ii-ii cotm fnrfh that in Sheehan's application for the examination Shee- han had stated inai ne naa du nt ciaht hoarinff or other mental or physical defect or infirmity. Judge Lummus remarked that there was some doubt in his mind if an examination by a Civil service commission doctor, and his report that the petitioner was disabled, would be legally sufficient to take the place pf the filing'ol a eertincaie 01 uisaumior by the petitioner, as required by law. He said, however, that he felt that all the facts should be determined, and so he would appoint the auditor to hear the case. Dr L.

Clancy has been appointed -factory doctor at the Herman Shoe Company, Millis, filling the vacancy caused by the resignation of Dr Frank Piper, who will soon remove to WILKESBARRE, Penn. Oct 5 (A. Vhe defense in the trial of Robert Allen Edwards rested abruptly at noon today after calling a procession of character witnesses and the mother and father of the young mine surveyor who is charged with the murder of Freda McKechnie, his neighborhood sweetheart.

Valentine or dered summation by both sides start- ea at ana announce! it his intention to get the case to the jury today. If necessary, he said, he would hold court again tonigni ana would be available thereafter to receive a verdict.

Subdued Note A subdued note, pathetically in contrast wun me emouonai lurmun I of yesterday, was struck today in the trial of Robert Allen Edwards, 21-! year-old mine surveyor, when the youths mother ana latner came to his defense before a Lucern County Court today. Edwards, pale and harrassed from his long cross-examination and the experience of hearing his love letters to the "other girl" read to the ftnhlir. fnriivplv wined his eves as jhis mother testified in trembling voice to tne eariy me oi oooDy. The flaming love letters written by Edwards to Miss Margaret Crain, East Aurora. Y.

music teacher, were termed by Edwards Sr the outpourings of a boy in the throes of "puppy love." "I shall stand by gruffly stated the father. Edwards Examination Ends The young engineer's long cross-examination was completed quickly today as the prosecution sought to tear down his story of the death of Freda McKechnie at Harvey's Lake July 31 in a realistic "American Tragedy" setting. Edwards is charged with beating her to death as they swam together at night. Mrs Edwards, in a dark blue coat and small black hat. spoke uncer tainly and held her handkerchief to her mouth to hide the tremDiing or her lips.

She was on the stand less than three minutes. The father, who yesterday stumbled from the court room as his son's love letters were read to an avid, tittering crowd, gave his son a reassuring look whea he took the stand. He testified less than two minutes, and took his accustomed seat behind Robert. From a reliable source, it was learned that Miss Crain refused several appeals by the defense to come NEW YORK MAY PUT OFF TRIAL OF HAUPTMANN NEW YORK, Oct 5 (A. Dist Atty Samuel J.

Foley said today that, should New Jersey ask additional time for a Grand Jury to. consider kidnaping or murder --charges, or both, against Bruno Richard Haupt-mann. he would ask the Bronx County Court to adjourn the extortion case here against Hauptmann. The extortion trial in the Bronx has been set for opening Thursday, Oct 11, and a special panel of 150 from which to select a Jury has been drawn.

After that, according to Russell story, he was friendly with Hauptmann and in frequent contact with him until September, 1932, when he lost contact with Hauptmann. "Have you been with Hauptmann in New York city and in that neighborhood?" the marshal asked. According to Mr Murphy Russell said he had.

and when questioned as to whetnjer he thought Hauptmann had murdered the Lindbergh baby Russell replied that Hauptmann was "sort of a peculiar fellow," but he did not think Hauptmann would commit a murder. Marshal Murphy said that Russell told him Hauptmann had entered the United States illegally by way of Canada. Murphy asked him how he knew and he replied that Hauptmann told him 60. As Marshal Murphy pressed Rus-self for more information Russell is said to have replied, "If I talked about Hauptmann it won't help him any but it will hurt him." Mr Murphy argued that he shouli make a clean breast of all heknew. "Well, there's a lot of angles to this Lindbergh case," Russell is alleged to have replied.
