James M. Fawcett, counsel for Hauptmann. forced the portly. white-haired osborne to make minute explanations and compari- sons to show wty-~in Osborne's $ opinioh--the ransom notes were the same as Hauptmann's hand writing.
 Osborne, wearing an apparatus to aid his hearing explained the lines and the errors in the writing which he said made him "reason- ably certain"
 Special emphasis was placed on the handwriting testimony because the notes referred to the writer having gone into the Lindbergh nursery.
 New Jerseys greatest difficulty in evidence against Hauptmanif has been in proving that he was at or near the scene of the crime on March 1, 1899.
 By proving Hauptmann wrote these notes New Jersey Attorney General David Wilentz seeks to es- tablish a confession" that the sus- pect was at the scene.
 Didn't Have to Shout
 Fawcett shouted at the witness until Osborne said:
 "You don't have to shout. I'm wearing one of those things" and pointed to his ear phone.
 Fawcett had the expert attempt to select from a sheaf of automo- bile license applications. the six he had utilized in his study of the ransom notes.
 He selected three--two applica- tions by Hauptmann in 1931--and another and said these were used in his studies.
 Fawcett then sought to have the witness select characteristic mis- takes or handwriting signs of similar nature from any two of the license applications.
 Contents of Exhibits
 Wilentz explained contents of ex- hibits.
 "Did you send the package to Mir Lindbergh? They contained the sleeping suit of the baby" one note read.
 We contend" wilentz said, 'that they are proof Hauptmann was in the baby's room on the night of the Kidnapping"
 Osborne told Fawcett he had un- QeIIuhell lO Stuuy lnS TduBOIH HUtGS at request of Col Schwarzkopf.
 T called attention to various ex- pr ressions in the letters which a general way summarizes my re- port" Osborne said.
 (Fawcett asked:)
 Q. Can you tell us to. whom you rendered reports? A. To Col Schwarzkopf.
 Q. When did you render 1t? A. A few weeks after the kidnapping.
 o. What was in your report A. The writer wrote as if he was German; he was illiterate and wrote in what is known as Latin script. It is very similar to our old round hand in English.
 An exhibit introduced was the first ransom note a trooper found in Lindbergh's home on the night
 The note said: .-why did you ig- nore note we left in the room ?"
 0. From the handwriting. could you tell the nationality?. A. Yes, but part of the surrounding coun. tries have German or other lan- guages. chara cteristics or occupation? A.. Not from the form of script.
 What would you say was in any of these letters that showed the oc- cupation of the relator (Haupt' mannl?
 A. There is nothing about that in my report.
 Osborne said his report was the same as his testimony today.

 Covered by guns, the disarmed guard and the three women dared not touch buzzer, almost within reach, which would have spread the alarm to police headquarters across the street. As the robbers were gathering the loot, girl employe in the city clerks office, directly across the corridor, saw what was happen ing and telephoned police. But so swiftly did the raiders | work that they were safely away in their automobile, with an ac- complice presumably at the wheel, before officers who rushed from headquarters could intercept them. The car, variously described as a blue sedan and a maroon sedan, sped eastward on East Elm street, then swung into Montello street, toward Boston, Alarm Sent Everywhere

 The break came soon after mid night, when the miners had had a chance to discuss the peace terms which were sent down. to them by the Socialist leader Karl Peyer and Johan Esctergalyos, miner and a member of parliament.
 First 300 men in the Thoman pit ascended, Seven hundred men in St Stephens pit remained below. It was not until just before a. m. that their leaders on the sur face were able to induce them to ascend.
 Last Man Came Out
 It was an hour later before the men in the St Stephens pit start ed to crowd into the shaft eleva- tor, and 1t was a. m. before the last man had left.
 Several of the miners had to be half carried to the elevator. All were grimy. unshaven and hollow eyed. They walked blinking out into the sunlight and, smiling, met their weeping wives.
 They ate sandwiches ravenOus. ly and drank coffee awaiting thcm.

The characteristic are of many de- l grees of significance and indicate the two sets of writing are by the l same writer" Osborne said.
 Osborne picked one of the ap- plicatioils as having character istic error of this writer"---
 That was, he said, the answer to the written auestion:--"Nature of each offense."
 The applicant had written: ":Past red iihgt." This showed a transposition of the HI" and "Gn which had been before observed, Osborne said. Osborne squinted as he read the ransom notes.
 "There is the letter "H'' which | is used throughout these letters i it is written peculiarly-as 1t IS spoken in German" he said. Hauptmann, seated 15 feet away from the witness, watched intently. Wilentx sthen received the wit ness. Justice Hammer warned the spectators against talking. Fawcett again took up the ques- tioning after wilentz introduced additional letters.
 There was some pickering over comparisons made in use of the letter "H." M
 osborne testified that in one ran som note the word right" was spelled "rihgt" similar trans position to the one used in the pre- vious error--''lihgt" for light"
 Q-Do you find any similiarities in handwriting of the auto regis traton card and the alleged ransom notes?
 Al think there are simiiiarities in numerous particulars, but not enough to base an opinion. Their value could only be taken in con- nection with others.

 in command of five men sent to
 France to conduct the Marseilles
 assassinations, was said by police to-day to have confessed that Egon
 Kvaternik, supp esed to be leader. sent him here from Budapest, Hungary.
 The admission was calculated to make more bitter the feling in Ju-
 goslavia against Hungary, which Jugoslavia has complained against for harboring croatian terrorists.
 Malny was captured yesterday as he walked toward Paris from Fontainebleau Forest, 30 miles away. in which he had hidden himself since Saturday despite ef- forts of 1000 police and soldiers to find him.
 He was questioned throughout the night at Melun by General Simomevitch, chief of the JugO- slavian police. He admitted that he was sent on "mission' which was to be excuted either here or at Marsellles ana that he met Viogak Georgieff, the actual assassin, at Lausanne. Switzerland. Georgeien used the name of Petrus Kelamen:
