$35,000 OF LINDBERGH RANSOM IS RECOVERED
New York Man Arrested on Charge of Being Recipient of Bills Tossed Over Cemetery Fence in Effort to Rescue Kidnapped Son of Prominent "Flying Couple"
New York, Sept. 20. — The Lindberg kidnapping case was "cried today with the arrest of Richard Hauptmann, in the Bronx, on charges of being the recipient of the $50,000 ransom money tossed on a Bronx cemetery wall in a vein effort to recover Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr., infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Lindbergh, the police announced.
With the arrest of Hauptmann authorities recovered $35,000 to the $50,000 tossed over the cemetery fence. The money was found under a garage in the Bronx, near where Hauptmann resided. He was arrested when attempting to pass one of the $10 gold certificates which made up the ransom money.
"We have in custody the man who received the ransom money" declared Police Commissioner John O'Ryan, who had been charged with New York and New Jersey police and federal authorities, who have been working on the case constantly for more than a year.
"It was recalled today that Dr. J. S. 'Japsie' Condon, who paid over the ransom money, said the man who re-entered prison in Germany or Scandinavian acceent.
TRAGIC EPISODE RECALLED
Negotiations Made With Abductors on
Reservoir of Children's Safe Water
The kidnapping of the infant son of Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lindenberg, from their country home in New Jersey, in March, 1932, stirred the whole nation. Triatic efforts were made to trace the kidnappers, but without avail, because the child was in Japae's "Japae" enveloped by advertisements in New York newspapers, to get in touch with the kidnapers. He had what appeared a good lead, and was told to stay in London, where a detention fence in the Bronx, on pretext of the safe return of the child.
The money was thrown, but the child was not returned, and probably at the time of birth she had been taken some months later buried in a woodlot, indicated the child had been killed shortly after it had been abducted from its second-story sleeping room.
The heartlessness of the kidnapers was further shown in the sending of some of the infant's garments in an effort to gain the confidence of the Lindberghs. After the fainting of the body, the baby had been taken from the buried body, and laundered before they were sent to the parents.

FIELD NAMED AFTER DONOR
Kansas Athletics Interested Prominent Eastern Lawyer and Soldier
McCook Field was named after the late Colonel J. John Cook of New York. He belonged to the family of fighting McCooks, well known in the Civil War. In later years he was a prominent lawyer in the East.
In 1890 and 1891, much enthusiasm was aroused among the faculty and students over the buying of an athletic field for the University. Two sites of the university were being suitable. One was just east of Mount Oread, which was then a level strip of vacant lots, owned by Charles Robinson, a professor in the University. In the early part of 1891, complaints were made that three and one-half times as much money was appropriated to the university as necessary for the University. An unexpected benefactor, however, appeared in Colonel McCook. He was an interested observer of all sports and realized the need of an athletic field. He hearing that the trusts were planning to make this purpose, he gave U-500 to the cause.
A committee was appointed with Professor Canfield, late Chancellor of the University of Nebraska, as chairman. Many favored a location east of Mount Oread. The land was level, the price reasonable, and the car line on Tennessee street connected it very conveniently with the business part of the
