 0. Where were you working March l, 1882? A. I don't know whether was working or looking for a job.
 He admitted that he told police at time of arrest he was working a. the Hotel Majestic. He said, he had not been in New Jersey at the time of the kidnap- ing. The last prior date he had been in the state was about October, 1931."
 You are a carpenter?" Wilentz asked.
 "Yes," Hauptmann replied.

 'No."
 "You never built a ladder?"-
 "No, never."
 "Isn't that unusual?"
 "Perhaps," Hauptmann said.

 Under further questioning, Haupt- mann testified he was an employc and customer of the National Lun,- Der Corp, where experts have said the kidnap ladder lumber came from.
 Asked where he got the $20, bill, part of $500 found on him the day of his arrest, Hauptmann ad- mitted his statement to the police that he had got it from a bank was untrue.
 Confronted with the wooden panel on which he had written notations of numbers of ransom certificates, he said that 1t was his handwriting,
 Hauptmann asked to show the size of the revolver found in his garage.
 He spread his thumb and fore- finger.
 II don't know the caliber." he said in reply to- another question.
 Wilentz showed him a reamed 2x4 beam, the one in which $849 and the pistol were found.
 "Is this the. lumber which you caused to be placed in your gar- age?"
 "Yes." the witness replied. his head lowered. A moment later he identified small chromium plated pistol as his.
 ''I don't remember when I put it away" he said. But he added a moment later he had hidden 1t in October 1881.
 Wilentz brought out how Haupt- mann bored holes in the board. and concealed part of the money and pistol in them.
 Hauptnann said he bored the holes in October, 1891. which was before the Kidnapping.
 He said the holes were to hang tools on.
