Flemington, Jan. 21. The State has shown that Bruno Hauptmann, charged with kidnapping and murdering the baby son of Colonel and Mrs. Charles Lindbergh, operated extensively in the stock market immediately after the child had disappeared, according to United Press.

The story of the continuing trial is taken up and on by Reuter:

Evidence of the sudden rise of Hauptmann's assets immediately after the date on which the ransom was paid by Colonel Lindbergh for the return of his child, was given at the trial to-day by a Treasury Bureau agent.

The agent further testifled that, Hauptmann bought $50,000 worth of stock during the several months subsequent to the payment of the ransom.

The sinking of the I'm Alone was an even more sarlous breach. The vessel, allegedly ongaged in running the coastguard blockade and endeavouring to land liquor ou American soll, was nevertheless chased by a United States revenue craft outside the twelve-mile treaty limit and sunk by gunfire, with the loss of one life.

The incident brought a storm of protest from Canadians, and efforts were made by some parties, not acting officially, to involve Great Britain in the affair. There were wild threata among the Nova Scotian and Now Brunswick folk, † ransom negotiations, was the asme decendants of United Empire as that written in pencil in a Loyalists.
