THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO D. C, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23, 1935. ¥» A5 3 Ten Pairs of STATE PLAYS LAST TRUMP- N TRIAL Counts Heavily on Ladder Testimony Against Bruno Hauptmann. By the Assoclated Press. FLEMINGTON, N. J., January 23— New Jersey played the last trump card today in its direct case against Bruno Richard Hauptmann, giving to the jury the account how it traced the kidnap ladder directly into the attic of the alien’s Bronx home. Counting heavily on the effect such final testimony would have on the jury, the State was ready to curtail | sharply its list of witnesses in order to rest its muider case against Haupt- mann before the day's session ends. Once again a heavy snowstorm set in as the court house doors opened, but like yesterday the snowy weather had no effect on the size of the eager crowd which jammed the undersized court Toom to capacity long before convening time. Mrs. James Farley Among Early Arrivals. One of the early comers was Ms. James A. Farley, wife of the United States Postmaster General. With two friends she occupied a pew reserved for State witnesses. - It was well back in the center of the audience. but few realized her presence until mo- tion-picture camera men and news- paper photographers turned their photographic battery on her. The Postmaster General's wife appeared to qualify as one of the best dressed women in court. Hauptmann was brought in, and the photographers switched their atten- tion to him. The pallid ex-convict squinted and blinked in the glare of the Kleig lights. when it was over. Supreme Court Justice Thomas W Trenchard, bundled up in his long black coat, was in chuckling good spirits as he threaded his way through the court to his chambers. Comments on the weather amused him. The opposing legal staffs were on the stage early, maintaining their records for being prompt in bad weather and tardy in good. Attorney General David T. Wilentz, the State chief, and the bulky Edward J. Reilly. head of Hauptmann's legal staff, chat- ted together as they waited for court to convene. v came in and had its picture taken again.

When Kelly first testified, Reilly questioned the effectiveness of his effort to find fingerprints on the ransom note from the Lindbergh nursery. Kelly used a dry powder method.

J., January 23.—Ten pairs of eyes have turned to Bruno Richard Hauptmann in the last 15 days in Hunterdon County Court House. Ten voices have said, in effect: “There is the man.” Six were visual identifications, but the seventh was by voice only. Only once during these identifi- cations did Hauptmann make any comment. Some of the “finger pointing” caused him to redden, WALTER LYLE. but none shook him. The identifiers were: Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, who said it was Hauptmann'’s voice that Eyes That AMANDUS HOCKMUTH. called, “Hey, doctor,” the night the ransom was paid. Dr. John F. (Jafsie) Condon, who said Hauptmann was the MILLARD WHITED. “John” who negotiated for and col- lected the ransom. John Perrone, Bronx taxicab driver, who said Hauptmann gave Have Accused Hauptmann of Kidnaping Infant CHARLES B. ROSSITER. him $1 to deliver one of the ran- som notes to Condon. Hauptmann muttered, “You're a Mar” as Fer- rone put his hand on his shoulder. | JOHN LYONS, Miss Hildegarde Olga Alexander, dress model, who said Hauptmann was “shadowing” Condon in a railroad station, and Mrs. Cecile Barr, who named him as the man who passed one of the ransom bills to her. John Lyons and Walter Lyle, gasoline filling station attendants, who said he paid them with a ran- som bill. Three men, Amandus Hochmuth, Millard Whited and Charles B. Rossiter, placed him near the Lindbergh estate at Hopewell prior to and on the day of the kidnaping. if there was not another fingerprint system which would bring out old prints. Kelly said there was. He added that he believed Dr. Hudson had used a silver nitrate solution in his test. Q. Did you see Dr. Hudson take be- jand the rest of the ladder? A. I did not. Q. How many prints did he find? A. I saw some markings on the one upright. Reilly made a print on a board he held and asked Kelly to use the silver | nitrate method to bring it out. “It has been found,” Kelly ex- plained, “that the silver nitrate method works better after a lapse of two or three days.” Reilly requested that the board be kept for several days and a test be made. The heavy-set defense counsel en- gaged Kelly in a conversational dis- cussion of Dr. Hudson's test. Kelly !said he had not learned the results. | Dr. Hudson, he explained, made sil- |ver nitrate tests on an upright and the rest of the ladder was examined by the same method by a police de- tective. Lindbergh Whispers To Assistant Attorney General. Lindbergh leaned forward and whis- pered earnestly to Assistant Attor- ney General Robert Peacock as Reilly finished his cross-questioning of the witness. Wilentz took the expert and after a few questions elicited the testi- i | | the kidnap day, and March 14, the date of Dr. Hudson's visit to the home. Q. When you first made tests the silver nitrate method was unknown? A. That's right were there many or few who had handled the ladder? A. A very great number. Q. If a man walked into that nur- sery and took that baby with gloves on, would he leave prints? Reilly objected to the question as hypothetical. I will allow it,” Trenchard ruled. The witness said that a man with gloves would leave no fingerprints. Wilentz elicited from the young, dark-haired expert that motion of hands across surfaces or ruffling of on possible fingerprints. ’lhaL night? A. Idid. ceal anything? A. I did not. you? A. Yes, I did. “Thank you. That is all.” Expert is Made To Raise and Lower Window. Reilly on a brief recross demanded |if fingerprints would show on the nursery window if the child was taken from its nursery and taken away down the back stairs. | “There might be prints from pre- vious handling.” ! Reilly asked Kelly to raise and lower | a window back of the judge’s bench. Q. How many places did you touch that? A. Three. Reilly released the witness and Wi- lentz asked. Q.

Hauptmann watched the trooper closely as he testified, describing how the shelves of the linen closet had to | be removed before the attic could be | reached. Bornmann, sitting with legs crossed, a worried frown on his face, told of finding one board missing from the | flooring of the attic of Hauptmann's | home. Reilly objected that Bornmann was drawing congJusions, insisting that he | tell only “whit he found” in the attic. | Bornmann told of finding sawdust and saw marks on a board adjoin- ing the vacant space in the flooring. The State sought to show that Hauptmann had cut a piece of the flooring loose to use as an upright in the kidnap ladder. Reilly, alert and commanding, was on his feet frequently as he directed this new battle of the defense to keep as much ladder testimony as possible out of the record. Peacock proceeded as the jurors studied a large photograph which | showed Hauptmann's attic and open- ing in the floor made by the missing board. The remaining section of the board, the witness, in & thin, toneless voice, recited, was taken up by a police car- penter and turned over to Koehler. Checked Nail Holes | With Those in Ladder. Bornmann told how he returned later to the attic with Koehler. Q. What did you do? A. We checked the nail holes with what we know as “rail 16” in the ladder. He pointed out the upright or side piece known as “rail 16.” | Peacock asked the detective to show where the nail holes in “rail 16” coin- cided with holes in the floor joists of the attic. He pointed to the photo- graph. “Those holes and nails fit perfectly, we push the nails in with our fingers,” Bornmann said, explaining the test he and Koehler made at the house. The grain of the wood “appeared to match perfectly” when Koehler ex- amined it, the witness said. To drive home its point, the State produced a large photograph showing how the attic flooring became com- plete again when the kidnap ladder upright was placed in the gap. forward in his chair as Bornmann ladder side and those in the floor beams matched up. gave Koehler a sample of wood from | the garage. | Bornmann ldentifies | Nails Obtained From Carpenter. Peacock next produced a package of | nails, asking Bornmann to identify | them. “These are ‘ten-cut’ nails I obtained | from the police carpenter from the floor board of the attic,” he replied Q. When you first obtained “rail | 16” and this board from the attic, were they the same color? A."Yes, they were. The carpenter on the jury leaned | ladder,” snapped Peacock at one point | in the argument. “Never Part of Floor,” Declares Defense Attorney. “It was never part of that floor,” retorted the chubby Pope. “It is & false picture.” “There’s no manipulation,” Wilentz interrupted, “we are trying to be help- | ful | and ‘rail 16’ were placed on the floor | and the nails dropped into the holes | and they fitted perfectly.” | “We don’'t want to agree to any- thing untrue,” Pope said, taking up the argument again. Justice Trenchard ruled that the | photograph was evidence and he re- | fused to strike it from the case. He | opined the defense would not be “prejudiced.” The cross-examination after this wordy interlude. resumed The testimony is that this board | { o, | | Pope, who makes a hobby of wood working and lumber study, tackled the subject of the attic wood with gusto. | " He started out by establishing the missing plank had been 8 feet in | 1ength. Q. What happened was you tock | “rail 16,” I call it a runner, and laid | it in that vacant space in the floor? ' A. Yes. Q. It didn't reach completely to the end of the space, did it? A. There was a space at the end of an inch and a quarter. Q. The nail holes in that ladder | were 50 loose you could push nails in and out? A. With thumb pressure you could. ‘The questioning was on the upright of the ladder which was made of Caro- lina pine. All other uprights were | made of fir. | Q. Any one ever experiment with those holes? | A. Notto my knowledge. | Koehler Fitted Nails in Holes Once Before Test. | Pope drew from the trooper detec- tive the information that Koehler had fited the nails into the holes once be- fore the attic experiment was tried. Q. Only once to your knowledge. A. Yes, once. Bornmann told Pope he visited the | attic twice before he took Koehle there. The New York police, he | added, took charge. Q. The State police rented the | | | | |ard overruled him, 1 | pushed board with the nail holes in the floor beams where the board was missing in_the attic. “You could push them in pretty | easy,” he said of the nails. | The visual demonstration brought | the jury forward in their seats. Asked to show where the nails were through, the rail into the floor joists, Enkler said, “There's the nails there now,” pointing to a pho-; He identified nails produced as “the | type.” | Enkler said he discovered sawdust | on the ceiling plaster beneath the | attic flooring, at the end of the board, | now produced in court. In the ad-| joining floor board, he said. was a | short saw cut directly above the little pile of sawdust | Pope, opening the cross-examina- tion, led the witness directly to the nail experiment. Q. How far did those cut nails ex- tend into the floor beam when you put them through the ladder rail? | A. About a half inch, maybe a quar- ter of an inch, just enough to bind the boards in place. Pope, pointing to the photograph brought from Enkler that at least one wire nail of a different type was used in the flooring. | . Q Did you use much pressure in putting in the nails? A. Just the thumb. Hauptmann Watches Pictures in Evidence. The witness illustrated the answer with an expressive gesture. As Pope referred frequently to the photographs of the attice Hauptmann's eyes kept on the pictures. Pope elicited from the carpenter that the rail, if “butted” against the | board, would not fit with the nail holes in the joists. Further, he brought out that only that last board and rail were “face” nailed. Others were nailed at the edges. Wilentz interrupted to explain the attic was accessible only to the Haupt- manns, through a linen closet. | Pope objected to the attorney gen- | al’s “testimony™ and Justice Trench- observing that there seemed to be a lot of discussion er; r | Over a trivial point.

Cold air was flowing | iri through the cracks around the win- dows behind the bench. Kelly worked industriously with his brush and fingerprint powder to de- velop the impressions left on the paper. No one seemed much interested in the technical interlude, except Col. Lind- bergh, who watched Kelly with in- terest. ‘When Kelly had finished examining| the first half of the paper, Reilly in-| quired if he found any prints. “On the half I have brushed over I find the ridge markings of fingers.” He scrutinized them carefully before adding, “I would say they are of no| value.” “Take your time, Mr. Kelly,” Wilentz fnjected. Reilly elicited from Kelly that a| single smudged print on one half of the sheet was all he could discover,| after several of defense counsel} handled the paper several days ago. Q. What would remove fingerprints, & cloth? A. An object touching them. Q. If that note had been gone| over with a cloth, a washrag or a| towel, the prints would be removed? A. Yes sir. Pescribes Search For Prints in Nursery, Reilly turned the witness back to a description of how he searched for fingerprints in the kidnap nursery. Q You found no fingerprints on the window? A. No fingerprints of value. Q. What do you mean “of value”? iA. Where there is complete ridge formations enough to make an iden- tification. ‘Q Isn't it a fact that you can| tompare a print if you have even two ridges? | A. 1It's a pretty hard thing to do. Reilly recalled that Mrs. Lindbergh and Betty Gow both sought to close the warped shutter in the nursery| window. Q. Did you find their finger prints? A. No. Kelly said there was a greasy area along the side of the crib which might have been from hands or a rubbing! medication which had been put on the baby’s chest. Q. When did you first meet Dr. Hudson? A. I first met him at Col. Lind- bergh's, March 12 or 14, 1932. Reilly was referring to the New York fingerprint authority who was called into the case and examined the kid- nap ladder. Dr, Hudson took photographs of the fadder and said he found more than 600 readable prints thereon. He used » system which he said brought out the prints which had been made on the 1adder long before the experiment. §ilver Nitrate Method Used to Bring Out Prints. Reilly persisting in his attempt to taise doubt of Kelly's methods, asked [ Kelly was excused. Inspector John J. Lyons, New York detective, was called to tell of finding on the day of his arrest. Wilentz handed the inspector & piece of paper, and asked him where it came from. “At a small desk in the defendant’s home in the defendant’s presence.” The paper is of the same make used by the ransom-note writer. Reilly Questions Detective About Paper. Wilentz offered the paper as evi- dence but Reilly objected pending time to cross-examine the gray-haired de- tective on the subject. Reilly began the questioning. Q. I assume, inspector, this is ordi- nary cheap writing paper? A. Yes. Q. Did you ever purchase any of this paper in the 5-and-10-cent store or any other store in New York? A. No. The sleek, gray-haired officer ex- plained that six police detectives were present when he found the sheet. “Now I press the objection,” Reilly said as he finished his questioning, arguing that it had not been con- nected with the defendant. Justice Trenchard admitted the sheet of paper, allowing Reilly an ex- ception, and Lyons was excused. Detective Lewis Bornmann of the New Jersey State police was then called to the stand. Justice Trenchard interrupted the proceedings to insist that the aisle at the front of the room used by the court stenographers, scurrying in and out to relieve one another at short intervals, be kept clear. Peacock, who has handled most of the ladder testimony, opened the di- rect examination. Q. Did you make a search of the de- fendant’s home for evidence? A. Idid. Q. Did you search the attic? A. Idid. a sheet of paper in Hauptmann's home | Peacock explained, “We propose to show ‘rail 16’ and the board are of the same piece.” “I will admit the board,” said the Jjustice. The wood testimony seemed to be holding the crowd rapt. Glances at Hauptmann were frequent, but his features were immobile. the others in the audience as the testimony progressed. Peacock interrupted cross-examina- tion by Pope to ask for admission of a photograph of the board and “rail” lying allegedly in original relation to the floor in the attic. Pope objected to the photograph as “manufactured” by the police. “That board was ‘rail 16’ of the Made New $5 and up Are you restless at night? Maybe your mattress is no longer comfort- able!

One ironic point in the whole ladder testimony seemed to escape the ma- jority in court. The upright which from the Hauptmann attic was on the third, or top section of the ladder.

Pope pubnaciously continued to question the connection of Haupt- mann to the attic boards. Q. These boards are not alike in colors? A. No, sir. Pope called attention to the small space between the floor board and the rail as they lay on the joists. “The piece that was sawed off” Cramer began, s cut crooked.” Pope sought to bring out that the end of the rail, showing in the pho- tographs was “pretty straight.” Cramer, suddenly, disrupted the | train of questions with the assertion the photograph showed the rail end lay op top of the other board.

Koehler, star witness in the State's wood case, was then called to the stand. Speaking in a clear, resonant voice he said he lived in Madison, Wis, where he worked in the United States Forest Products Laboratory there. Wilentz was examining him. Q. Are you the Federal Govern-l ment’s wood expert” A. I am the expert on the identifi- cation of wood for the Government. Q. For how many years have you done this work? A. Twenty-one years. Bald, studious in Koehler had an attentive audience. The witness in slow tones explained he examined 2,000 to 3,000 samples of wood each year for the Government. He read from a paper the list of im- portant cases in which he testified since 1924, The list included murder cases, as well as trade mark and commerce, Q. Did you come into the Lind- ernment? A I did. Koehler said he made his first in- vestigation of “Rail 16" October 9, 1934, “I found.” he said, “the nail holes the grain of the wood was the same as the board there.

Pope Challenges | Koehler’s Qualification. Fighting the defense’s losing battle on the wood evidence, Pope leaped to his feet and surprised the court by | challenging Koehler’s qualification as | wood expert. | “He is not qualified.” Pope said. | “We say there is no such animal known among men as a wood expert. | The bald-headed technologist sat , with a sphinx-like expression on his face, while Pope questioned his qualifi- | cations to determine wood grain simi- larities. “This man,” said Pope, “is experi- | enced, but he is not a scientist as is { a physician. “I take a different Justice Trenchard. ness is qualified.” Pope was given permission to cross- examine Koehler on his qualifications. Pope asked that he be allowed to view,” said “I think the wit- and Justice Trenchard approved.

By the Associated Press ATHENS, Greece, January 23.—Re- ports from unofficial sources last night | said Italian warships were en route to Kalymnos, one of the Dodecanese | group of islands, after an uprising of the populace there. ‘The reports, which gave few details, said martial law had been proclaimed | as result of several clashes and no one was being allowed to leave the island. ROME, January 23 (#).—A govern- | ment spokesman officially denied to- day reports of disturbances on the Island of Kalymnos. He said no naval | detachments had been sent there. Together with the 12 other islands of the group, Kalymnos was occupied in 1912 as retaliation for Turkey's hostile maneuvers in Lybia. Ten years later Italy's full sovereignty was recog- nized. 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY SALE WOOD LIFE STUDY OF TRIAL WITNESS No. 1 Technologist in U. S. Forest Laboratory Traces Ladder’s History. By the Associated Press. MADISON, Wis,, January 23.—The hobby of a lifetime has led Arthur Koehler to the witness stand in the Lindbergh kidnaping trial with the distinction of being the Government's ace wood technologist. The study of wood has fascinated Koehler since youth and from it he has carved a career that climaxes in his work on the Lindbergh case. Criminal trials are not new to Koehler. the 49-year-old member of the United States Forest Laboratery staffl here. In his 20 years at the laboratory he has been called in on scores of cases to ferret out clues buried in the grain of strange woods. His experience and his findings led C. P. Winsiow, director of the lab- oratory, to title Koehler the “No. 1 wood technologist in the Government service.” The prosecution in the Hauptmann trial has today called upon that ex- perience to trace the course of a few pieces of wood from the forest to the ladder used in the Lindbergh kid- naping. Since his 'teens the stories hidden in the hearts of trees have held the prime interest in Koehler's life, A native of Manitowoc, Wis., he at- tended Lawrence College at Appleton. one of the many Wisconsin lumbe: centers, and the Universities of Mich- igan and Wisconsin. His only hobby—cabinet-making projects—retains his interest in woods even to his spare time. EDUCATIONAL. BOYD Irnins ra Business. Seere Review Courses. 210 Months. ari Position zuaranteed Daily.
