WACO, Jan 10—(P—1Mrs Ethel
Johnson was removed last night
from the McLennan County jail
by Sheriff Joe White, at Coryell
County who, according to a jailer
ehre sald he was taking her back
to Galesville to make bond on the
charges of slaying her son and his
bride, Mrs. Johnson, 40, of Dallas,
and emphatically denied the accu-
satin. ----
County Attorney Floyd Zeigler of
Coryell County said at Gatesville
this morning he didn't know where
Mrs. Johnson was and declined to
make a statement about the case
Other county officials were equally
non-committal and Sheriff White
could not be located tmmelatedly.
The bodies of Joe Dean BlanF
Unexplained secrecy marked the
activities today of Coryell County
authorities in charge of the case.
Mrs. Johnson emphatically denied
the accusation and her huband
and friends are working for her
release on bond. Sheriff Joe White
and County Attorney Floyd Zeigler,
who said they were the only ones
who know about the tatus of the
case, would not disclose when bond
would be made.
Officers for 1935 were elected at a
meeting of the board of directors

sore of the old-timers recalled an
old well or an old spring that was
there in the early days before Den-
ton had any real business struc-

leak, said that it was just a plain
ordinary leak in the main and no
spring at all.

involved in the Lindbergh kidnap-
ing. and falling also to shake his
identification of Hauptmann as the
mysterious "John" who collected the
950.060 ransom for s baby Lind-

the opening of the afternoon ses-

only 23 more minutes to clear up

The mystery women were inject-

Reilly brought one of the wom-

mins Koren, who lives on a farm
near Hopewell. The other he mere-
ly mentioned as "Mrs Busch."
Jafsie readily recognized Mrs.
Koren as a woman who came to
his home in the Bronx with anoth-
er to discuss real estate .transac-
tions. The other woman, Reilly said,
was Mrs. Busch "
The attorney mysterious about
the matter, told reporers only that
"Mrs. Koren is a very important
witness who must be kept from
contact with the press."

The educator from the Bronx was
back in the witness chair and the
defense launched its thrusts st his
story. of his role in Ine Lindbergh
ransom negotiations
Reilly opened up:
Q. I think Doctor when we ad-
journed yesterday we were discuss-
ing a note found under a rock.
A. Where?
Reilly did not immediately pur-
sue this question after receiving
that answer but switched instead
to the ransom note which led to
Condon's Woodlawn ecmetery tryst
with John.
“I picked that up under the
rock." he said when asked to
identify another note found under
it was agreed, however, that Con-
gress would specify how the regular
annual s3oO.uuO.uOu wablic works

Chairman Buchanan of the House

huge work relief measure would be
taken up in due course. It will be
preceded by a deficiency measure
to provide for emergency expendi-

The congressional confereees indi-
cated the proposal by the president
for authorization to spend $880,000,-

"It is utterly impracticable and
tmpossible," Buchanan said, "to

"Some projects which now seem
easible might not prove so two or
three months from now This effort

It did not bear the kidnap sym-

Dr Condon began to describe his
trip to the point beyond the Je-

he found the ransom note under a
boulder.
“Well," lie began. "I asked Mr
Alfred J. Reich if he wanted to

Q. Where did you stop?
A. In front of the frankfurter
stand described in the letter with

Q. How far did you go beyond

Q. What time of night was

how he described the symbols In

"He told Wilentz he had been con-

in error.
He said he called the Lindbergh
home on the basis of an unsigned
note and was Instructed over the
phone to open the sealed letter. He
then read the letter to the person
to whom he talked.
Attacks Credibility
From one piece of the story to
another Reilly flitted in his at-
tempt to break down the old edu-
eater's credibility. He made him ac-
count for the logic of each of his
statements, and sometimes the re-
tort provoked mirth at the attor-
ney's expense
