Show 1 THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE SUNDAY MORNING FEBRUARY Doubts Cast On Testimony In Lindy Case 23 Legion Leader Named as Aid West High Cadets At the conclusion of two hours of questioning Millard Whited Sourlands lumberjack the governor said it was “highly significant” that Whited once told the police he had seen no Ohs’ near the Lindbergh home and then apparently reversed himself when Hauptmann was arrested two an a half years later and identified him The governor said Whited told him he had been promised a part of the 325000 reward offered by the state for the arrest and conviction of the kidnaper had received about $180 for appearing as a witness and thought more was due him Eyes Reward Angle "It would be very interesting” the governor said “to know whether the promise of the reward played some part In his identifcatlon of Hauptmann in the Bronx” Whited’s ldentfication of Hauptmann at the extradition proceedings in the Bronx in October 1934 was one reason for New York authority esto grant New Jersey’s request for tie prisoner Hauptmann is under sentence to die the week of March 30 Asked today if the results of Whited’s questioning might mean a second reprieve the governor said: “I haven't considered it in that light but it is a highly significant thing that on April 26 1932 this man gave two detectives one of them from the state police a statement that he never saw Hauptmann and in the Broipc county courthouse testified he had seen him on two occasions prior to the ’ kidnaping” The governor reiterated he had no present intention to grant another reprieve The governor said a state trooper visited Whited several times showing him pictures of Hauptmann whom he refused to identify as the man he saw The governor said Whited finally consented to go to the Bronx to testify if he was paid "for his time" The police officer the governor related told Whited he would be De-Gr- the reward and Whited said: "Yes” Governor Hoffman said "errors” were found today in Whited’s statements during the conference He did not disclose what they were Of Amandus Hockmuth the second witness to testify Hauptmann had been near the Lindbergh estate the governor had this to aay: $TaVe no present plans (for questioning him) but would think testimony open to suspicion There is question whether or not there is a material untruth in his testimony that he resided in New Jersey whereas he was a resident of New York and drew relief in of el ’s New YoriL 'The defense has affidavits showing Hochmuth had cataracts on both eyes and was almost blind There is also an affidavit from one New Jersey state employe who said Hochmuth told him he never saw anyone in the vicinity of the Lindbergh home “There was no record for two years he ever made a statement he saw anyone After Hauptmann was arrested he suddenly appeared as Woman Strangles Her Aged Father With Belt Suicide Attempt Fails INDIAN OLA Iowa Feb 22 (UP) farmer Loper died today of strangulation at the
