Paris, Texas, November 27 (AP) Two j5olicemen, kidnaped here yesterday morning, were released near Antlers, early today after having been held captives by two men they sought to question in connection, with a hold-up.

At any rate, Isidor Fisch today remains a "mystery man" possibly the innocent victim of a defense plan conceived by Bruno Richard Hauptmann possibly a man who knew more than anyone else of the kidnaping of the Lindbergh baby. By Lou Wedemar. (Copyright, 1934, By Universal Sen.) (Truth and lant of a Kile of exclusive stories concerning the Lindbergh ease.) New York, November 27 Isidor Fisch was a small man as near as can be determined from various descriptions approximately five feet seven Inches tall, weighing 125 to 135 pounds. He had a hacking cough that never left him, and there was good reason for it. When he went to a chiropractor nearly a year ago, the chiropractor used an X-ray on him.

He was astounded, and exclaimed: "Good God, man! No wonder you have pains in your chest! Your lungs are practically gone!" Before he went to this doctor, he had gone frequently to a Dr. Fin-kelstein. on Broadway, according to and girl readers of The Enquirer, too, urged him to accompany us to Cincinnati, At first Santa feared he could not work the trip into his schedule. But when we told him how happy he would make the boy and girl readers of The Enquirer he consented to join us. HAUPTMAN PANEL DRAWN.

New York, November 27 (AP) Answering criticisms directed against him from coast to coast for ordering New York's 19,000 policemen to "terrorize the thugs," Police Commissioner Lewis J.

Valentine asserted tonight he had meant exactly what he said, "Muss 'em up," he repeated. them afraid." Then to critics, which include the Police Chiefs of some of America's largest cities, the fighting New Yorker explained he was not authorizing ruthlessness; he was dealing with a situation peculiar to this one metropolis. "For a great number of years Xnany men in the New York" Police Department have come to believe that racketeers, thugs, and criminals especially those whose nefarious activities gained them financial and political backing must of necessity be treated with kid gloves," the Commissioner commented. The order issued yesterday was his way of notifying his men that times in New York have changed. "I want my force to understand they are no longer hampered in their dealings with law breakers," he said.

The Commissioner's explanation was directed especially to his critic cohorts Frank E. Loesch, veteran head of the Chicago Crime Commission; Police Chief George J. Matowitz, of Cleveland; Commissioner Theodore J. Roche, of San Francisco; Chief B. E.

Payne, of i Houston; Chief James E. Davis i and Sheriff Eugene E. Biscailus, cl Los Angeles. All questioned the wisdom of the Hew Yorker's order. The Commissioner also reminded his fellow police chiefs that he was talking "to the men as responsible members of the Police Department Of the City of New York." "I knew that my remarks and advice and orders would be gauged the Henkels.

Dr. Finkelstein died, of the stumbling blocks in Condon's identification of him. Another point conceivably linking Fisch to the ransom notes is the fact that a certain instrument used by furriers has three prongs, and could make the "three holes" that were an important part of the ransom symbol-signature. But this, like the others, is a weak link, if it is any at all. Could Fisch have been the mysterious J.

J. Faulkner? A short time after President Roosevelt put into effect the gold ban, a man entered the Subtreasury, where clerks, were watching for appearance of ransom certificates. Ha handed in $2,980 in goldbacks. The clerk told him he must fill out a slip. He did so J.

Faulkner, 547 W. 149th Street." Two days later the overworked clerks recognized the bills as ransom money. They were numbered in series, and all were creased alike as if they had been packed tightly together. They had a strange odor, too an animal odor. Could it have come from being packed in the same box with fur pelts? No one knows.

But the investigators do know that J. J. Faulkner was not the depositor's name, and they do know that Hauptmann's writing is far different from that on the slip and that' it resembles Fisch's writing. -Investigators traced a family named Faulkner, which ten years ago had lived at the West 149th Street address, and came up against a blank wall. Later a man named Liepold, a relative of a family associated with the Faulkners of West 149th Street, killed himself, but he had been absolved.

Fisch had Chicago connections. At least, a news photo service obtained good pictures of him in that city, but what they were has not and Fisch later went to another Dr. Finkelstein, his brother. Efforts to locate the second Dr. Fiflkelsteln BURGLARY SUSPECTS HELD.

grounds will be enacted by Council today. Council Finance Committee yesterday agreed to provide a total of $25,000 in bonds for purchase of material on these projects. A speclfio program of projects for which the material and equipment will cost $15,000 was approved by the committee. The Recreation Commissioner asked that $10,000 more be made available, with blanket permission of Council to spend the money on other projects to be decided upon later. Members of the Finance Committee will insist upon a report showing just what the money is to be expended for, before ordering the bonds issued.

The $25,000 program will enable the commission to provide work for 1,000 men to be paid by the Federal Emergency Relief Administration. The commission has four other $25,000 programs, but Council Finance Committee has. decided that money for this purpose is not available in the bond program. In a session with the Park Board and the Recreation Commission the committee discussed the expenditure of approximately $50,000 received, from the estate of Florence E. Weaver, former Cincinnati school teacher.

Miss Weaver aBked in her will that the money be expended for outdoor recreation. As the Park Board, the Recreation Commission, and the Zoo all could use the money for improvements, the Finance Committee appointed, a committee composed of Irwin M. Krohn of the Park Board, Max Hlrsch, Recreation Commission, and Dr. Willard D.
