NEW YORK, Sept. 21, 1934 (UP) Bruno Richard Hauptmann, German convict, today was charged with the murder of the kidnaped son of Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh in an extradition warrant demanding his return to New Jersey for trial. Federal authorities accuse him of planning and executing the kidnaping which was climaxed with the finding of the tiny victim's body in the underbrush near the Lindbergh home.

What fine chisel could ever yet cut breath? Let no man mock me,
For I will kiss her.

To perforate = to pierce with a tool; to bore.
A perforated bladder does not swell.
-Boyle
What Lindbergh said about the eyes of Hauptman?
Sas? Nic. Sassnitz. Rug, ja? Rugen. Telemark in Harzgerode.
