This new witness is a painter named Walter Manley, who, it is alleged, confirms Mrs. Hauptmann's statement that Hauptmann was drinking coffee in a Bronx restaurant on the night of the kidnapping.
But an even more sensational light has been shed on the case, according to the Chief of Police of Yonkers, who has disclosed startling new evidence.

SEEKS TO DELAY
SAAR VOTE
SOCIALIST CHARGES OF TERRORISM
FOREIGN TROOPS BORED WITH INACTION
Berlin, Jan. 11. Forestalling any League of Nations' announce- ment, an official Government statement says that on its re-incorporation into the Reich the Saar will be taken over in its entirety and united with the Palatinate under the leadership of Joseph Buerckel.
Alarming rumours are meanwhile circulating in Saarbruecken. They tell of an attempt to prevent the plebiscite being carried out and of the Socialist leader, Herr Braun, having appealed to the Plebiscite Com-- mission to postpone the vote on the ground that fright- ful terrorism is rampant.
The rumours add that the appeal will be rejected and official charters intimate that they are confident of a peaceful conduct of the ballot.

The United Preas explains that the evidence of Mr. Albert Osborn, 70-year-old handwriting expert, cannot be treated as a serious blow to Hauptmann's defence,
Mr. Osborn testified in the first place that all the notes demanding ransom were written by the same hand. Secondly he declared that the handwriting was similar to that of Hauptmann's. He did not say that Hauptmann wrote the notes,
