yesterday, Hauptmann, on the witness stand, was weary and almost incoherent, and was obviously suffering from the greatest strain.
To-day, refreshed, he admitted that he left his job on the day the $50,000 ransom was paid to the kid- nappers, but because he knew that his pay was being cut. It was a mere coincidence, he argued.
The prosecution further secur ed the admission that although Hauptmann had declared he had only $203 in his possession at the beginning of 1932, he got enough later in the year to buy a radio and expensive field glasses, to tako hunting trips and send his wife to Germany-United Press.

The firm's difficulties were report- ed as being in the neighbourhood of £1,000,000, apparently due to the rise and fall in the price of various commodities of which Strauss and Company were one of the principal shippers,

AN OVERHEAD-VALVE SIX
for Power, Speed and Economy.
There is nothing to prevent Chevrolet from building any kind of engine it chooses.
But only one engine passes all the rigid tests laid down by Chevrolet.
And only one engine combines great power, great speed. unfaltering performance, and matchless economy,
AND THAT IS THE SIX-CYLINDER ENGINE WITH OVERHEAD VALVES.
So until the day when something better is found, you can trust Chevrolet to keep on giving you a valve-in-head six... the most efficient engine in any low-priced car.
