 The witness was excused from the lineup platform after ne nao testified that he had owned an automobile since 1881.
 Very Much Frightened
 Hauptmann moved his feet nerV- ously as he answered questions anu obviously was frightened. It was difficult to tell whether he had slopt any since police and federal agents began questioning him on Wednesday,, but it was considered unlikely that he had. He had been facing persons who sought to Identify him as a passer Of the sansom money almost all night.
 Meanwhile, a police emergency souad was sent to Hauptmann's home and began tearing down the garage in search of more money believed hidden there.
 The prisoner, linked by federal agents to the Kidnapping through half a dozen circumstances includ- ing the similarity in his handwrit- ing to that of the ransom notes. was a shaken annd hesitant figure when he mounted the platform at police lineup prior to being ar raigned on extortion charges In the Bronx.
 Apparently, he had rested some since a long ordeal of questioning and he was freshly shaved. But he was nervous and at times slight Iy uncertain as he stared through the glaring lights to the audi sorium where detectives and patrol men watched. An assistant police chief, stand- inx at microphone in the center Of the room, shot questions in clear, booming voice oyer the loud speaker system.
 Clues Point His Way
 He sought to clear up the links of the chain which federal agents say link Hauptmann to the crime -44-the ransom money, the "paruat Identification of the prisoner by pr " F. (Jafsie) Condon, the fact that Hauptmann. carpenter, worked near the Lindbergh home in New Jersey, the fact that . carpenter undoubtedly made the lridnap ladder and the fact that Eauptmann quit work but had more money than ever in the sum- rfler of 1882 after the kidnapping.
 To each question, Hauptmann rave a careful and studied reply which was designed to clear him. self. { Detectives said they had learned q 1t Hauptniann had $24,000 or J,O00 on deposit in a brokerage house. If that should also prove to be a paxt of the ransom it would accoflht for all the $50,000 except about $6,000, the detectives said. About $5,000 in $5, $10, and $20, bills had been passed before Hauptmann's arrest.
 Was Not Identified
 One conflicting development emerged to-day in the efforts of Authorities to complete their case. Manhattan police had said that pr Condon and other persons tden- tified Hauptmann, but after he was removed to the Bronx Foley an- nounced that no one had identified him.
 After sleepless night in the Bronx county courthouse, Haupt- mann was taken to police head quarters in Manhattan and locked in a cell. He will be put into the a. m. lineup.
 Hauptmann's 32-year old wife, Anna, who had been held since last Friday was released early to-day and returned to her home. Police apparently were convinced she did not even know of Hauptmann's wealth. Neighbors had said that Hauptmann kept her on a close al- lowance and she frequently bor- rowed small sums to pay for gro- ceries. sat
