J., January 22.— Prosecutors struck a double blow yes- terday at Bruno Richard Hauptmann, on trial for the kidnap-murder of the Lindbergh baby, with the testimony of & woman witness. ! Mrs. Cecile Barr, little cashier of a Sheridan square, New York, movie| theater, not only Wwas positive that the carpenter “threw” a carefully| folded Lindbergh ransom bill into her cage, but she fixed the date in a way| that hit hard at the prisoner’s alibi. She said it was the night of No- vember 26, 1933, some time before | Isador Fisch, Hauptmann's frail fur-: rier friend, went to Germany. | Hauptmann has claimed that he first saw the ranscm money after Fisch's death, when he opened a shoe- box the furrier left in his keeping.
