f ‘ Lord, why must such a disaster

Chief Counsel for Hauptmann
Challenged to Make Good on
Charge, 4 Involved. Kidnaping
FLEMINGTON, R. J., Jan. 7.—
(Copyright by The Associated
Press.)—The announcement last
Saturday afternoon by Edward J.
Reilly. Chief Defense Counsel for
Bruno Hauptmann, that he would
name four persons this week as the
"actual kidnapers" of Baby Lind
bergh, evoked from Prosecutor An
thony M. Hauck, Jr., last Saturday ,
night, a challenge for Reilly to
name the persons immediately.
Attorney Reilly, in New York for
the week-end recess of the trial of
Hauptmann, on the charge of mur
dering Charles Augustus Lindbergh,
Jr., announced that he would dis
close the names of four persons,
probably about Thursday, and that
Hauptmann would not be one of
them.
No Comment
Reilly would not comment when
asked directly if Betty Gow, the i
baby’s nurse, was one of the four 1
he intended to name.
"If Reilly knows any other per
sons connected with this case, as
a member of the bar and an offi
cer of the court, he should disclose
their identity to the prosecution
and authorities of Hunterdon Coun
ty immediately,” Hauck said.
"The authorities of the state of i
New Jersey are not attempting to
persecute Hauptmann but as far
as the evidence thus far uncover
ed discloses, he and he alone jKOm- -
mitted this crime," Hauck said.
