Parents and and Mrs. Floyd the penitentiary, and the report ers were seated when the alarm bell rang. Two prisoners sentenced to the electric chair attempted the break with the aid of an imitation pistol made of eoap. One was killed and the other seriously wounded. The note was sent to a prisoner named George Michall Paulin, the warden said late in 1931 or early in 1932.

Paulin was sent up from Mahoning county for robbery. The Lindbergh baby was kidnaped March 1, 1932. The warden said it was signed by Bruno Hauptmann. The prisoner who received it asked the warden for a conference, but was not granted one until he made a second request. The warden said the prisoner informed him the code was devised by Hauptmann and that it could be read by skipping every other word.

Read in that manner, it said: 'Will kidnap Lindbergh baby." Warden Thomas said the prisoner made a trip to New Jersey with him shortly after tha kidnaping, but, the Warden added, "New Jersey officers took no interest In it and we retuncd to Columbus." Third Man Involved. Meanwhile, Mrs. Hauptmann and her relatives disclosed that the man who sailed for Germany last November with Isadore Fisch. the furrier who, Hauptmann said entrusted the $13,750 in ransom money to him, wag Henry Uhlig, a. furrier and Fisch's intimate friend.

Fisch lived with Uhlig in a small hall bedroom in the lower Bronx, and the landlady there said Hauptmann visited him there almost every day. John F. the "Jaf- sle'' in the for the return of the kidnaped baby, has expressed the opinion that Fisch was murdered. Dispatches from Germany, where Fisch died last March, today said police stated the body of Fisch probably would be exhumed for an. autopsy should New York police request it.

There the district attorney and detectives resumed their questioning. Hauptmann wrung his hands continually, and to some of the questions he replied by murmuring: can I dp? What can I do?" In an adjoining room his wife, who has not seen him since ho was taken to the Bronx jail, answered all questions readily. She appeared calm.

New York police today injected the mysterious figure of a woman into their search for accomplices: of Hauptmann. Assistant Chief Inspector John head of New York city's detective force who has held steadfastly to his belief Hauptmann did not play a lone' hand in his alleged part in the kidnap case, sent his detectives on the trail of a woman he believes aided Hauptmann. Sullivan recalled footprints of a woman were found beneath the windows, of the Lindbergh home near Houewell, N. J. the blustery night of March 1932, shortly after the kidnaping of 20- months-old Charles Augustus Lindbergh, was discovered.

To Check Footprints. The footpurlnt of a man also was found near the foot of the ladder which the kidnaper leaned against to house, and down which he went with the baby from the second-floor window of the nursery. That footprint was to be checked, New Jersey state police said, With footprints of Hauptmann. Despite the expressed belief of other investigators that Hauptmann had no aid, Sullivan has held to his-view that it "was one-mar, job." Also he has held that "it Hauptmann was not at the- scene of the kidnap- ing he-had a hand in the machinery." It was in pursuit of this theory that Sullivan sent his detectives today in search of the woman. Nothing was disclosed as to Iwr identity or her possible connection with -the case.

Dr. John F. Condon, the "Jaf- Bie" who acted as intermediary for Col. Lindbergh in his efforts to obtain the safe return of the also expressed the belief today that Hauptmann was involved and that he was not alone. Condon said he believed at least three persons were involved.
