(Continued From First Page.) Brooklyn office today to give close, attention to the ransom notes which Lindbergh received and which resulted | in the payment of $50,000 ransom in ' a Bronx cemetery two months after | the kidnaping. Reilly said a number of experts had agreed to testify, in-! cluding one from Germany who is| familiar with Teutonic chirography. | To Include Violet Sharpe. ! Reilly indicated the defense also, would have a lot to say about Violet Sharpe, maid in the Morrow home at Englewood, N. J, who committed suicide after being questioned by au-: thorities in connection with the kid- ! naping. The defense counsel inferred that he considers important the long dis- | carded clues attached to members of the Lindbergh household in the early stages of the kidnap investigation. “It is obviously odd.” he said, “that the mysterious Violet Sharpe commits | suicide; that Whately gets a stomach ache and dies suddenly; that Mrs.! Whately goes to England shortly after Betty Gow leaves for England. All this shortly after the Lindbergh baby disappears. “There are a great many discon- nected angles to this case which we: propose to compose into a clear ac-! count of the Lindbergh mystery.! When we are finished I believe it will show that Hauptmann is not! guilty of the charges the State has preferred against him.” Both Sides Match Moves. Legal staffs of both sides withdrew from Flemington for the recess to match wits in their next moves. The State summoned several Fed-| eral agents, the crack operatives who | tracked down the ransom money and who will be major witnesses, for| examination. | These strategic moves followed | three days of swiftly moving drama, set in the eighteenth century Hunter- don County court room, during which Lindberg testified firmly to his belief that Hauptmann kidnaped his child and took his $50,000 ransom. Hauptmann, aroused by the boyish aviator’s identification of his voice as that of the ransom reaper, but strangely unmoved by the accusation of the kidnaping, settled back in his cell to his old stoic calm The State, meanwhile, disclosed the angle of attack it will pursue Mon-{ -— =S SPECIAL NOTICES.

Betty Gow Is Next. Miss Gow was listed as the first witness the State will call when Su- preme Court Justice Thomas W. Trenchard reconvenes court for the second week of the trial. Once be- fore she was called. but so shaken was she by Anne Lindbergh’s own story of her last day with her baby that she was spared temporarily. The Hopewell police chief, Harry Wolf, who arrived at the Lindbergh Sourland Mountain estate soon after the kidnaping was discovered. probably will follow her. ito reach the estate after the kidnap alarm, Corp. Harry Wolfe, has also | been ordered to be in court to tell his story. There are indications. too, that the Monday session may bring out defi- nitely whether any fingerprints were | found in the Lindbergh nursery after the kidnaping, or whether the ransom | notes carried any tell-tale marks. Despite official denials that finger- | prints were found, reports to the con- trary have persisted. Corp. Frank A. Kelly, the State police fingerprint expert, is the man who examined the nursery and the ransom notes for fingerprints, and the States hopes to reach him some time Mondny, unless the defense examina- tion of Betty Gow is too long. Jafsie to Go on Stand. Inspector Harry Walsh, Jersey City detective who worked on the kidnap- ing investigation, is the fourth police officer on the tentative witness list. Prosecution sources hinted strongly that Dr. Condon, enigma of the case, will take the witness stand some time | early in the week Jafsie will tell the Hauptmann jury. it was understood, not only the bizarre | narrative of his contacts with the kid- of | naper, but also identify Hauptmann | as the mysterious “John” he met on his nocturnal rendezvous. The defense case, as sketched in cross-examinations of State wit- nesses so far, is apparently that Miss Gow, Dr. Condon, Ollie Whately, Henry (“Red”) Johnson, a friend of Miss Gow, and Violet Sharpe, the maid at Next Day Hill, the Morrow estate in Englewood—all or any of them—might have had a part in the kidnaping. Reilly tried repeatedly to thrust this theory forcefully before the jury in his penetrating cross-examination of Lindbergh. Faith in Servants. The colonel turned aside all Reilly’s questions with replies that he had implicit faith in the servants and in Dr. Condon, and expressed his disbe- lief that some one within the house stole the baby. Mrs. Whately also proved a witness, the State thought, who gave no testi- mony to bolster Reilly’s hypothesis of the crime. She made an indignant denial of & defense insinuation that her husband had been attentive to violet Sharpe and was equally determined in her “No” to Reilly’s charge that her hus- band had become acquainted with Dr. Condon in New Rochelle years before the kidnaping. Reilly’s attempt to develop his case was overshadowed by Lindbergh's confident identification of Haupt- man’s voice as that of the “John” to whom “Jafsie” paid the $50,000 ran- som in a Bronx cemetery April 2. Reilly never challenged it. Lindberg followed up this important evidence by asserting bluntly he was satisfied that the German ex-convict was the man who kidnaped his first born son. Believes Bruno Guilty, Reilly asked him if he believed Hauptmann was guilty of the kid- naping. “I do,” the aviator responded. The flying colonel was equally straightforward in . r his faith in Dr. Condon when Reilly pressed him with queries on the un- usual aspect of the elderly educator’s interest and activities in the case. “We realized,” Lindbergh said pa- tiently, “that after this circumstance had originally happened, the sequence of events would probably be peculiar, not according to the ordinary logic his-circumstance” the colonel apparently meant the designation of Condon as the ransom intermediary by the kidnaper. Lindbergh was the star witness of the day. He spent three and a half hours on the stand—two and & half hours of it under Reilly’s searching | cross-examination. He, Mrs. Whately, | and Charles Wililamson, deputy chief of the Hopewell police, were the only witnesses of the day. Both prosecution and defense ex- pressed their satisfaction with the trial developments when the day end- —by pragiical roofers at modern, -cost. We'll gladly eillmlu Call us ul BOO’I‘NG' 3 Vv B‘.

BY KATHLEEN NORRIS. FLEMINGTON, N. J, January § (N.AN.A) —There was no laughter in the Flemingion Court House yes- terday. The two and a half hours of morning session were as grim an ordeal as any witness, counsel, jury or judge has ever faced in the history of American law. And during this time there occurred one of the most fearful moments that has come, or that will come, into this or any other trial. It was a moment that those of us who are, forming a horrified and fas- cinated audience to this drama can never forget; a moment that gave birth to a hundred questions, and that answered one terrible question once and for all. It came about in this way. When the court opened at 10 o'clock, Col. Charles Lindbergh, the man whose long, spare figure and likeable kindly face, the man whose dramatic record as a flyer, whose domestic joy and whose one great sorrow we have all shared in making him our national idol, was put into the witness box. Saw Wife Under Fire. He was there Thursday night when court closed after a racking day. He had the experience—harder, I imagine, to this particular man's heart and soul than any suffering that he cowd bear in silence and alone—he had the experience of see- ing his gentle, dignified young wife | under legal fire, he had to sit silent | and hear her quiet, unfaltering voice | recalling the scenes that are shut away in both their hearts as a memory of intolerable agony. He was tired then, and one could see that he was tired yesterday when the merciless review began again, and the dreadful hours of that March morning nearly three years ago were revived and re- constructed into the incredible fabric of this story. Col. Lindbergh yesterday morning answered question after question pa- tiently. out that he wants to help find the truth He was not thinking of his | own feelings; he was answering sim- Riy and truthfully: sometimes after thought. often with his long fingers pressed over his eyes. Detail after detail, he gave it all to | us. until we came to the sequence of events on the night of April 2, a month after the disappearance of his first born son. Col. Lindbergh went out to “Jafsie’s” house in the Bronx that night with $50,000. He and Jafsie drove to a specified point near a ceme- tery gate: Jafsie got out of the car, Col. Lindbergh waited. It was early evening: it was quite dark. Col. Lind- bergh heard a voice call from the | cemetery, “Hey, ‘doctor!” He waited. Did he think, as he waited there, | after the long month of hoping and fearing, did he hope, this young, eager father, that within a few moments something soft and light and sweet and sleeping might be put into his hungry arms, and that once again his cheek might stoop to brush against the delicate beauty of a child’s sleep- ing face? Did he hope, in his fast- beating heart, that he might pres- ently be stumbling to some casual wayside telephone booth to give the great news in trembling, incoherent tones to a gentle woman in a house | not far away, to stammer to her, “I've got him! He's safe! ing him home to you!” And was that woman waiting. too, listening to every telephone bell, every step. every sound, saying to herself, “Any minute. Any minute now! It must be true this time!” Met New Disappointment. | Did they feel that, hope that? You | and I would have felt s0, hoped so, in their places. Perhaps they did. But whether they did or not, only bitter disappointment awaited them once | more. The little boy wasn't going to | be carried safely home in his father's | big arms, he was not destined to re- ceive his young mother's tear-wet kiss. Even then he was lying quiet | with his baby eyes forever closed, his responsive, loving baby heart forever stilled. Col. Lindbergh's manner was quiet. | his voice did not change through all It has been evident through- | this. But presently there came a I'm bring- | | and alone in the chill Spring woods, | packed court room. Nobody, for a second, could believe his own ears. Lindbergh—it was Lindbergh himself saying these words! The first stunned moment of silence was followed by a flutter—the harsh, dry flutter of paper. It was as if & flock of birds had risen from a meadow or a marsh and had taken wild flight out into the world beyond, the sun- shiny, snowy world beyond this quiet, old-fashioned village. And that is exactly what had happened. The wings of the press were spread. For we haven’t had messengers con- fusedly coming and going in this court line of boys has stood in every aisle, ready o pass copy out on the principle of a bucket brigade. When these tremendous words were said, 300 vencils scribbled them, and the papers moved ir a great audible rush to the doors and went out into the world and into history. And what- | ever else .his trial develops, never again will it reach so fearful a height. The awful question all our hearts have been asking: Does the stolen baby’s father think this other man is guilty? The awful answer: mann’s voice.” (Copyright. 1934, by North American Newspaper Alliance. Inc.) MRS.
