EXPERT DISCLOSES HAUPTMANNDEALS Justice Trenchard Takes Down Figures for Per- sonal Notes. By the Associated Press. FLEMINGTON, N. J., January 21. —Bruno Richard Hauptmann's prose- cution today opened a final drive of testimony and evidence to complete its murder case against the man ac- cused of kidnaping and murdering Charles A. Lindbergh, jr. Sensing that the closing days of the State’s case vould be replete with rapid developments, spectators turned out early and packed the court room well before convening time. Hau ann was later than usual in arr in court. He looked well rested from the week end recess, but his pale face was as expressionless as ever Associate Defense Counsel Egbert Rosecrans, who was waiting at the defense table, immediately engaged | the prisoner, reading to him from a lengthy letter. Hauptmann followed the document with great interest Justice Thomas W. Trenchard meanwhile arrived and the sisters were cleared for the incoming jurors. Col. Lindbergh Arrives Looking Tired and Worn.

He still wore the gray suit. without vest, that he has worn since the trial began His blond hair was slichly mussed across his forehead. as though he had been driving a car, hatless, in the wind Justice Trenchard took the bench at 10:05 and court got under way with the polling of the jury. Col. Lindbergh took his accustomed | seat behind the prosecution table. He looked tired and worn from the days of daily court appearances Attorney General David T. Wilentz alled William E. Frank. an agent of the United States Treasury Depart- ment’s intel nce unit A general attitude of cheerfulness prevailed at the defense table. Haupt- mann and his wife. laughing and smil- ing, talked of their child Mannfried Edward J. Reilly and his assol counsel were smiling and talking to- gether.

Pope Objects To Line of Testimony. Prederick A. Pope arose, the line of Frank's testimony as vant and immaterial to the case He spoke specifically of Wilentz's question on the assets of Hauptmann and his wife on April 2, 1932, the day of the ransom payment Frank said that the market hold- ings of Hauptmann on April 2, 1932 censisted of 50 shares of Warner Bros." stock. The market value on that day was $100. “It was selling for $2 a share on that day,” Prank added Q. So that on April 2 the total cash and stock assets of the Haupt- to irr manns was $203.90 in a bank and $100| in stocks? A. Yes. Q. Will you tell us how much cash Wwas put into the brokerage accounts by the Hauptmanns from April 2, 1932 to September 19, 1934, the day of Hauptmann's arrest? A. From April 2, 1932, to September 19, 1934, the total deposits in all the brokerage accounts of the defendant and his wife was $16,942 “The total amount of cas in the bank accounts,” Frank contin- ued. “was $9,073.25 Q. There were some withdrawals from those brokerage and bank ac- counts? Unable to Trace Some Cash Withdrawals, A. There were other deposits, but they were transfers and I have elimi- nated those. There were some cash withdrawals and I was unable to trace the disposition of them. Q. Have you inspected the broker- ege accounts of the defendant and his wife? A. I have. Q. Can you tell us whether there was a profit or loss in all the broker- fage accounts up until April 2, 1932? A. There was a loss in that account. It was with Careton-Mott. Frank said the loss amounted to $3.463.60. Q. Give us the profits or loss in the Hauptmann accounts between April 2, 1932, and September 19, 1934. A. There was a loss of $5,728.63. The total of these two losses was $9.192.23. Wilentz then requested the Treasury expert to total all the assets which came into the Hauptmanns' posses- sion after April 2, 1932, the ransom pay-off day The attorney general told the wit- ness to include in the total the $14.- 600 ransom money found in the garage, the $120 in gold coins found | in the Hauptmann house, and a $3.750 mortgage the Hauptmann's had prior to the kidnaping Pope objected to the question as “hypothetical.” If the question was confined to figures already in evi- dence Pope said, he would remove his objection. Wilentz said “just that.” Frank said the total was $44,486.

The State was apparently laying the groundwork for testimony on the $7.500, loan the Bronx alien said he made to the late Isador Fisch, his | business partner, and who he said left the ransom money in his care. Frank said the total of Hauptmann's stock purchases in 1929 was $1.196; 1930 omitted; 1931, $2:836; 1932, $4.905.25. i In 33 separate accounts Wwere ! maintained, Frank added.

Treasury Expert Tells of Mrs. Hauptmann's Accounts, Wilentz then turned Frank over to Reilly for cross-examination. Reilly brought out from Frank that the defendant’s wife had opened a bank account on October 27, 1924, in the Central Savings Bank in New York How much did she deposit? A. $200. The witness said her annual de- posits in the next five years varied between $1,000 and $2,000. The account closed in 1928, Frank | said | Reilly asked the Treasury expert to total the bank deposits Mrs. Haupt- | mann made in the five years before the account was changed from her maiden name, Anna Schoeffel, to a joint account with her husband in January. 1928. $5,377.97." the witness replied. Q. Was $3,750 drawn out in October, 19272 A. Yes. When the account closed in Jan- uary, 1928, there was slightly more than $100 in it, the investigator said. A joint account was opened in 1929, with a deposit that year of $1.539.35; in 1930, $1447.50; 1931, $619.25, and 1932, $3,146,52 Q. And in 1933—up until the ac- count closed in March? A. $2,710. Reilly directed Frank’s attention to withdrawals from the joint accounts h ranged from $837 to amounts less than $100. An $800 deposit shortly after the $837 withdrawal, Frank said, was not the return of that money, but of funds taken from Hauptmann's brok- erage accounts. Hauptmann Follows Testimony Given by Expert. Hauptmann, with a financial state- ment sheet in his lap, followed Reilly’s involved questions with alert attention. The spectators, however, were frankly bored. Q. How much was deposited in the joint account in all the years from 1928 down until it was closed in 19332 A. The total deposits were $12,- 830.28, in that joint account. A separate account was opened in the wife's maiden name about the time of the kidnaping in the Central Savings Bank, the witness said, re- sponding to a question from Reilly. Reilly elicited testimony that in 1933, when the Hauptmann joint bank ac- count was transferred back to Mrs. Hauptmann’s maiden name, the de- | posits totaled $2,512. He then pointed out to the wit- ness that in the pre-kidnap years the Hauptmann deposits were only about $700 below this figure. “That is correct,” the agent agreed. Reilly swung his attention to Hauptmann’s bank account in Mount Vernon, N. Y. which was opened three months after the kidnaping. The big defense chief raised his voice when he asked if the account had not been opened “with the large sum of $52.50." “With the sum of $52.50, yes.” The witness then said Hauptmann’s total deposits at the Mount Vernon institution were $1,837.75. Did Banking f Business Before Kidnaping. In August, 1934, Frank went on, Hauptmann opened a savings account which ran through September, with total deposits of $260. In the Bronx Borough Bank, he added, Hauptmann.carried a savings account begun in 1926 and closed with $782 in it in 1932, Q. So, then, Anna and Richard were X | doing a banking business before and ) after the kidnaping? A. Yes, sir. Q. And their deposits ran $1,800, $2,100, $2,800 a year, both before and after the kidnaping? A. After the kidnaping the deposits were higher. “Let’s go to Wall Street,” the chief defense counsel said, turning his queries to the stock ventures. Frank recited that the defendant first opened an account with Carleton Mott & Co. on November 1, 1929. Hauptmann deposited $3,000—$200 cash and a check for $2,800—in open- ing his first account, the expert testi- fied. The German alien’s first purchase t'otaled $2,782, he continued. The bal “That 1s exclusive of any cash loan, the 1 Hauptmann, who deposited it in the Central Savings Bank. First Wall Street Profit of $3.60 Brings Laugh. Reilly slowly went from entry to entry on the Hauptmann Carleton & Mott stock statement. There were numerous smiles when it came out that the Bronx alien’s first market transaction in the black Wall Street days of '29 netted him a profit of $3.60. The profit came on the sale of a block of Ford Motor Co. of Canada. After the sale of Hauptmann’s Ford stock, the testimony continued, he bought 50 shares of Fox Film “A” with the cash available in his ac- count and a cash deposit of $76. On December 30, 1929, he owned, in addition, 100 shares of Club Aluminum and 40 shares of American Super Power. In February, 1930, Reilly brought out, Hauptmann began dealing margin. Q. Then he didn’t need so much money? A. No, sir Reilly, holding photostatic copies of Hauptmann's account sheets, showed | through the witness, that the de- | fendant owed his broker $1,537.81 on | his margin trading in March, 1930. | “On June 30, 1930, almost two years before the kidnaping,” Reilly asked, “Hauptmann owned 255 shares of stock?” Frank affirmed. The testimony droned on. Each time a stock was bought or sold. each time cash was put in the account or taken out, each time a balance was | taken on the statement, Reilly had the | witness explain fully Hauptmann's | Wall Street operations. It was | tedious business. | A five-minute recess was called at 11:34 am Court resumed at 11:45 to hear futher details of Hauptmann's carcer | as a Wall Street operator, | Frank took up his recital at July, | 1930.

Hauptmann's trading continued throughout September, October, No- vember and December, 1932, the quiet little financial expert recounted: Reilly led him on into the transactions of 1933. In January sales totaled $2,380 and purchases approximately $2,100. Deficit Was $1.165 at End of February, 1933. Hauptm deficit with Steiner- Rouse, Frank recounted, was $1,165.93 at the end of February, 1933. No purchases were made in this account in March, but cash deposits created a balance of $1.673.90 On March 31, 1933, the expert said, the brokerage account was transferred from Hauptmann's name to that of his wife’s maiden name. Q. As far as you know Bruno that was operating it? A. The account shows a power of attorney giving the defendant permis- sion to operate it. Frank said $1,500 cash was put into the Schoeffler account, taken from count with Steiner-Rouse. Immediately after the account was transferred to Mrs. Hauptmann's name, the Hauptmann stock opera- tions assumed large proportions. Frank recited the blocks of stock that were bought and sold rapidly throughout April, 1933. Q. What was his balance, credit or debit at the end of April, 19332 Delivered $2,500 Cash To Account During April. A. He had a credit balance of 927 worth of stock. He had delivered $2,500 cash to the account during the month. The trading was likewise active in May, 1933, the witness recling off a long list of 100-share purchases, which cost Hauptmann from $500 to more than $4,000 each. As the questioning, strange financial terms, rustling in the disinterested crowd increased. The glances of jurors wan- dered about the room. Mrs. Verna Snyder showed interest in the defend- ant, who sat motionless, expression- less, and in the movement among the crowd. Reilly sought to bring from the wit- ness that Hauptmann's trading in May, 1933, was largely with his hold- ings with Steiner-Rouse without addi- tions of new cash. “On May 3 he delivered into the account $2,575 in cash,” Frank said. Just before the recess Reilly turned to a line of questions designed to bring out that Hauptmann began to make profits in his Steiner-Rouse ac- count, which he left there for further transactions. Justice Trenchard interrupted him to call the noon recess. Court recessed for lunch at 12:32 pm., with Frank still under cross- examination. Say Defense Omitted Number of Transactions. The State said redirect examination of Frank would clarify some of the testimony adduced by Reilly.

FLEMINGTON, January 21.—For many days, as damning evidence has piled up against him until it has be- come a cumulative deluge of accusa- tion, Brmno Richard Hauptmann has promised his wife, Anna, that when his time comes he will take the stand and vindicate himself in the eyes of the world. Bruno, in the brief moments of pri- vacy allowed him by the clanking | guards, who anticipate his unantici- | pated move, has told his wife that he |can “explain everything.” Within the next few hours the | Bronx carpenter will have the oppor- tunity of making good his boast. His adoring wife, who, as the typical German mate, enjoys only such frag- ments of confidence as her husband chooses to toss her, awaits that dra- matic moment when Chief of Defense | Counsel Reilly calls her husband to | the stand. Testimony Means Much. It means far more to her than it does to the greedy public which will pack the court room. She has taken the stand, flinging her defy and her confidence forth, that her “Richard” will give the lie to the long parade of witnesses who have passed through the ancient court room here to paint him as the most despicable infanticide | since the sin of Herod. Bruno Richard Hauptmann spent | Sunday talking to the unsparing walls |'of his cell—pacing, pacing—rehears- |ing over and over the story he will tell the jury one day this week in a desperate effort to save himself trom the electric chair where the State of New Jersey is determined to put him for the murder of the Lindbergh baby. Hauptmann has been at work on his testimony for se direction of Edward J. Reilly, chief of | defense counsel. Through Reilly he said yesterday: has not been told. Only a pack of lies, lies, lies. I will tell the truth * * * and I will be be- lieved. I can explain everything that has been said against me, and 4 jury will know T am telling the truth I can hardly wait. It is torture to sit there day after day and hear them tell such lies. My time will come, when I will prove all of them have made up stories.” Looks Forward to Taking Stand. Hauptmann is looking forward eagerly to taking the stand in his own behalf. Indications were today that | his chance will come either late to- morrow or Wednesday. On one of those days Attorney General David T. Wilentz is expected to announce to the court “If court pleases, the State Then dramatic will come one of the most moments of this Reilly will turn to his client and his words will electrify the court room, which now promises to be loaded be- yond capacity by the worst crush of human bodies it ever has known. He will say: Bruno Richard Hauptmann, | the stand.” It will be the moment for which the world has been waiting. Col. and Mrs. Cha A.

Hauptmann, who seemed to enjoy his testimony role of a Wall Street | plunger and a man of finance, smiled confidently as he chatted with his at- torneys before court convened.

Frank was back in the witness chair as Reilly, a sheaf of brokerage state ments in his hands, stalked slow! some confusion in Mrs. Elsie Whateley, Lindbergh housekeeper, returned to the court room, preparatory to resuming the wit- | ness stand to attempt to refute a de- | fense implication that lights in the Sourland Mcuntain home were flashed the night of the crime as a signal to the kidnaper.
