65 Held in Mexico
Religious Slayings
MEXICO, D. F„ Jan. 1. — (AP)
— After a night and day of ques-
tioning, 62 red shirt radicals were
consigned Monday to a district judge
at suburban Coyoacan, who will de-
termine their culpability in connec-
tion with Sunday’s slaying of five
Cathdlics outside their church.
The courts must order their re-
lease or trial within 72 hours upon
charges of homicide. Three Catho-
lics accused of lynching one of the
red shirt* also were consigned on si-
milar charges.
The killings alt Coyoacan have
brought the religious conflict in
Mexico to a crisis, according to ge-
nerally expressed public opinion. Un-
less the government acts vigorously
rations, the possibility is foreseen of
serious outbreaks.

Since but two jurors remain to

day of the case.
The prosecution will contend that
Hauptmann is guilty because;
1) He In positively identified Us

bill at an uptown Manhatten filling
station: hg had. rtf the ran tor-
money on him when arrested emi
$14,590 more was found in his gar-
age.
2) Isidoi' Fisch, Hauptmann’s part
ner in ransom business ventures,
med ransom money to pay hi* pas-
sage back to Germany , where Fisch
died of tuberculosis in 1933.
8) The handwriting on the note
left in the baby’s crib and subse-
quent ransom r.ctes tallies with the
handwriting on Hauptmann’s automo
bile license application.
4) The man who wrote the ran-
som notes delivered to Dr. Condon
the sleeping suit worn by the ba'jy
on the night of the abduction.
5) Hauptmann did only a few days’
work after March 1982, yet lived in
modest luxury.
6) The ladder by which the kid-
naper’entered the nursery was made
of Wood from a Bronx lumber yard
where Hauptmann once worked and
from which he subsequently bougnt
supplies, and the nails in it were
similar to nails in the garage whit-n
Hauptmann built himself.
7) Messrs. Condon Lindbergh and
Perrone can in one way or another
indentify Hauptmann with the crime.
8) The crime was a one-man
job because the ladder was left be-
hind.

10) Hauptmann’* criminal record
in Germany marks his oh the type
of man to execute the crime.
These charges Defense Counsel
Reilly will duck, denounce or deny
point by point as follows:
1) Hauptman did not know the
money he was passing was ransom
money. He “dipped into it” when
he found a shoe box full of It left
by Isidor Fisch, who owed Haupt-
mann $7,500 which he never re-
paid.
2) Fisch’s passage .money was
hm own. By inference the defense
will do everything in power to lay
the crime at dead Fisch’s door.
3) Defense handwriting experts
will contradict those of the prose-
cution.
4) If Hauptmann did not write the
ransome notes, the evidence of the
child’s sleeping suit fails of its own'
weight.
25,000 Workers
Begin Federal
Farm Census
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. -t (Sp>
— Approximately 25,005 f al«ul cen-
sus employees Tuesday began the
task of enumerating more than Or
000,000 farms and ranches in the IL
S. in what R probably the most im-
portant agricultural census in the ns
tion’s history, according to Director
William L. Austin, bureau of the
census , department uf commerce.
Headquarters of the Tenth Teas
district have been established at
Nacogdoches, with George F. Find-
lay, supervisor, in charge. Plow
call for the completion of the cra-
vens before the end of Junuary.

.100 questions covering practically ev-
ery impoitant ramification of the *.
gricultural industry. Questions
include farm tenure; farm populo.
tion, farm acreage, which includes,
all crop land, pasture land and wood-
land; total value of each farm, i-
creage and yield of eaeh principsu
field crops and vegetables; numtM*
of trees and yield of principal fruits
and nuts; number and value of eaefe
class of live stock, poultry and egg*.
More than 1,000,090 copies of tlu
sample schedule have been distribut-
ed to farmer* so that they may sta-
dy the questions and have their re-
cords ready when the enumerator
calls on them.
5) Hauptmann’s thrift and small
Winnings in the tfenkmariiet
abled him to live with comparative
ease. His wife Anna was eo-
casionally employed after March
1982.
6) Thousands of peopl- bouglg
