Fiemington Reaps
Harvest From
Hauptmann Trial
• --
While a little, old courthouse ::i'
New Jersey, built more than a cent
ury ago, had been turned* into a
stage watched by the whole civilized
world, the little county seat town
of Fiemington made hay while the
sun shone.
So far as the crowds were con-,
cerned it was like one circus day I
after another or a continuous county j
fair. Strangers seen everywhere.
There were TOO men and women a
lone who were connected in some;
way with the trial. In an official;
capacity, as well as newspaper t
writers and potographerr, telegraph- j
ers, movie cameramen, radio ex- j
perts, and so on. Witnesses for the
prosecution alone numbered wall
over 100.
All available quarters in the lim
ited hotel and boarding house fae-;
ilities were taken before the trial j
began. The few restaurants and
cafes were swamped from the be
ginning. Temporary eating places
were set up, including the inevitab’e
“hot dog” stands. Homes with un
used rooms were thrown open but
even with these extra provisions the j
town’s facilities were hopelessly
overt xea and scores of visitors were
obliged to go to nearby cities for
meals and living quarters.
\\ hat all this means to the little,;
old town of Fiemington, which had
beer, asleep for a 100 years, can be
imagined from an estimate made by
v^iting newspaperman that those
persons connected with the trial in
ore way or another are spending an
average of $10 daily for living ex
penses. Add to that the amount
spent fur other items, plus the ex
penditure's of the hundreds of idle
curious \;sitor.s, the town will collect
hundreds of thousands of dollars as
a result of the trial of Bruno Haupt
mann for the kidnapping and murder
of the Lindbergh baby which oc
curred a few miles away almost
three years ago.

Great coal fields and beds of sand

So numerous are the fossils that th
explorers are having difficulty
making a selection. The coal bed
and the fossil plants in the saro.
cone clearly indicate that ages a;,
the climate around the S ulh .
was considerably milder than ac y
. t. The mountain which show
hese fossil beds is capped with so
iment in stratified form, a comi.tiu

iiii.e under the ocean, a e. nail
common to most parts of the worn

MUl.ES DON’T LIKE SEA.
The largest exporter of mules
.he world, Frank E. Simpson, Onr.h
*\eb., has helu a contrast since 93
to supply American mules to i
—ritlsh army in India. At press.,,
he is crossing the Atlantic with
nipinent of 373 • rican mi e
bound for India. Si -S n person
ally supervises sea transportation >.
ail his mu.es because it is a difficul
and ticklish job. Altho the hard
iest and most rugged of work ani
mats, the mule is a potentiu
invalid every moment of the time h
is on the water. The moment ch
sea gets rough and the ship begin
rolling, he refuses to eat and fron
.nen on must be handled like a sea
sick patient. Exporters of mule
nave lost as many as 40 per ceu
of their shipments. Simpson hr
. et to lose his first animal.
