Suspects Pal Missing
No, he had not yet found out
who the man was who accom-
panied Hauptmann to the lumber
yard in New York city when a
Lindbergh ransom bill was Of
fered in payment for a panel and
then pulled back when the yard
superintendent scrutinized 1t
closely. The unidentified man
with the supposed Hauptmann
paid 40 cents cash for the panel
when he got the bill back.
Earlier in the day, Mrs. Ami
Hauptnann held a 15-n1inute con-
ference with her husband in the
district attorneys office in the
Bronx. After the conference she
said:
81 stil believe my husband is
innocent"
Makes Trip in Rain
In a drizzling rain, Mrs. Haupt-
mann came to the Bronx county
courthouse to see him. The pris-
oner, in whose home and garage
$14,59O of the $4,000 ransom
was found, seemed disappointed
because she didn't bring her baby
boy, Manfred, along.
Mrs. Hauptmann explained:
1.-THE baby has a cold
Manacled to a detective, Haupt-
mann was brought from his cell
in the county Jail to the district
attorneys office for the meeting
with his wife. She had tried hard
to see him late yesterday, but
couldn't because alienists were
giving him mental test. Four
psychiatrists representing Bronx
county IN. " and the State of
New Jersey reported that they
believed he is sane.
Prisoner Still Silent
En- route to the district attor.
ney's office Hauptmann was as
cold-eyed and inflexible as ever.
He ignored reporters and photo
graphers and had nothing to say
to his guard.
Hauptmann and his wife en-
braced. They chatted for about
Is minutes.
While they were conversing,
district attorney Samuel j. Foley
Of the Bronx, talked with re-
porters and absolved Isidor Fisch
of any connection with the
Lindbergh case.
Mr.. Foley said:
"Fisch had nothing to do
with it,"
Fisch was used by Hauptmann
as a defense in his explanation
of how he happened to be in
possession of the ransom money.
Hauptmann claimed Fisch, before
leaving for Germany last De-
cember, left a shoe box in his
keeping. Fisch died in Leipzig,
Germany, of tuberculosis last
March. According to Haupt-
mann when he opened the shoe
box he found, to his surprise,
that it contained bills.
Declares Him Innocent
Emerging from the conference
with her husband, Mrs. Haupt-
mann was questioned briefly by
reporters. She said:
II believe my husband is innO-
cent, as I always have believed.
Nothing / have heard since his
arrest has changed my feelings
toward him."
Asked if she could remember
where her husband was the night
of April 2, 1882, when the ransom
was paid by the Lindbergh inter
nediary, DR.. John F. Condor, she
replied:
"If / could only remember
everything that happened every
day for the last three years 1t
would be a big help to both Of
u.s."
She said Hauptmann had told
her he was comfortable in the
Jail and that he liked the food,
which he described as nearly as
good as home cooking"
Denies Theater Trip
Mrs. Hauptmann was asked if
she had ever been in Loew'S Sheri-
dan Square Theater, in Greenwich
Village, where the woman cashier
said her husband (Hauptmann}
passed one of the Lindbergh ran
som bills. She replied:
mo, no, absolutely no. I
do not know where the theater
is. A year ago my baby was
born and was always at homo.
It's funny how people can re-
member customers so long
afterward."
"What does your husband
talk about when you visit him?''
