In the course of his talk he stated that music should be part of every school curriculum and on an equal standing with other sub- Jects. He stressed the need of “ap- preciative listening" of music and the part which lectures and train- ing in the school plays to that end.

Ben Lupica, summoned as a wit- ness by the State but not called, testified he saw a man with a lad- der iu an automobile on the after- noon of March 1, i932, but admitted that though he had a good oppor- tunity to see the man's face he oould not say the man was Haupt- mann. Another witness, Paul Vatterle. swore he was at Hauptmanns home on the night of the carpenter's birthday in 1933 when, according to the testimony of Mrs. Cecile Barr, theatre ticket-seller, he was passing a ransom certificate seven or eight miles distant. The defence strategy of lng Coi. Schwarzkopf, one of Col. Lindberghs closest friends, also threw the case back to early stages in the investigation when under- world contacts were arranged in an attempt to gain the safe return of the child. The names of Morris Rosncr, now Chief of Police of Long Beach, 1.1., who acted as a go-be- tween for Col. Lindbergh, and of Irving Bitz. Salvatore Spitale and Harry Fleisher were brought back into the case. Shortly after the kidnapping, Rcsner had announced he had per- sonal knowledge the baby still was alive. Schwarzkopf testified a duplicate piano the salient points of vari- ation of musical themes, using as an example Beethoven's Sonata in A Flat. The President, W. A. Stewart stated that he had a communication from District Gov- ernor Wood with reference to the nomination by the Charlottetown Club of a candidate for District Governor. Two names had been submitted to him, Dr. J. A. Clark and Percy W. Turner, both Past Presidents. The District Governor also wired that Dr. Clark had been- nominated by another club. Ro- tarian T111116!‘ was unanimously nominated by the Charlottetown club. Rotarian Walter S. Shaw was in the chair. and the guests were Rev. Charles Palmer and Rev. Hugh Miller. U. S. LEGION DELEGATE-A Massachusetts newspaper of recent date reports: “Miss Margaret M. Donahoe has been unanimously in- dorsed by the Columbia Post, A.

Miss Donahoe ls a charter member of Columbia Post and a very active worker for the Legion.

The Lindbergh baby, he said, weighed about 30 pounds. so that a man who we.ghcd "up to 170 or possibly 176 pounds could have gone up, but with the added weight it would have broken when he came down." l-Iauptmann, when his trial began, weighed a, lit- tle more than 150 pounds, but his weight normally was around 1'15. Questioned About Report Fisher asked Schwarzkopf about a report submitted by Squire Johnson, a former State employee, which stated that the ladder was built by a man who used a saw with his left hand. but the report was not sub- mitteci in evidence. Three witnesses were called by the defence to establish alibis for Hauptznann, to bolster those already offered by Mrs. Hauptmann; Louis Kiss, a Batik painter; Eivert Carl- strom, a caretaker; and August Van Henke, who said he talked with Hauptmann about a dog on the kid- nap night. Those today were Kloppenberg, a toll. lean young cabinet maker of German extraction, a friend of the I-lauptmanns; Vetterle, and Phillip Moses, a Bronx taxi driver. Moses was not in court. He would have repeated his story, the defence counsel indicated, he saw four men in St. Raymond's cemetery the night of the ransom payment. Kloppenburg was the man Haupt- mann said made "moo-sic with him the night of April 2, i932, the ran- som payment night. Vetterls testified he attended a farewell party for Fisch the night of Nov. 28, 1933. It was Hauptmanns birthday party. too, hold the night a cashier of a Greenwich village the- atre testified Hauptmann passed one of the ransom notes through the grill of her cage. The first Saturday of each month, Kloppenbuzg said, they gathered at Hauptmanns home for music. Hauptmann played a mandolin and Kloppenburg a mandolin and gui- tar. On direct examination he said “I got to Mr. Hauptmanns home about '1 o'clock or a quarter of 7. We played some music and cards. Then we had coffee and cake, and between ll and 12 o'clock he drove me in his car to the White Plains subway station." Hauptmnnn was in the house the entire evening.
