New York, June 1. Federal agents believe they have accounted for every cent of $50,000 ransom Bruno Richard Hauptmann received from Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, except $49.56.

Moreover, an official report of Hauptmann's expenditures and investments between the time ransom was paid, April 2, 1932, and the arrest of Hauptmann September 19, 1934, indicates that he alone, without any "partner silent or dumb," spent the marked currency, except the $14,000 found in Hauptmarin's garage.

Douglas Burton, the 30-year-the old book reviewer, of Holloway, London, was ordered, at the Old Bailey, Loudon, last month to be detained during the King's pleasure. He had been tried for the murder of Douglas Bose (21), an author, after a dinner party in Canonbury on Febru- nry 14,
