PENNINGTON. N. j., December 81.
Bruno Richard Hauptmann's pocket
notebooks, containing careful accounts
of his expenses, will be used, an OH
cial source disclosed today, in a prose-
cution effort to show that the $4,000
Lindbergh ransom figured In his
income.
To substantiate this evidence, the
prosecution has a woman witness ready
to testify she saw packages of money
secreted in a cabinet in the Haupt-
mann Bronx home.
The State also expects Betty Cow,
Scotch nurse Of the slain Lindbergh
baby, to testify the child was dead or
dying when he was borne past the
spot. q scant 100 yards from his,
home, where she found a thumhguard
stripped brutally from his hand.
State Surveys Case.
These three factors became known
as the State made final survey Of
its case for the trial of Hauptmanrl.
starting Wednesday, for the staying Of
the KIDNAPPED infant.
The patient work Of q Federal sta
tistical expert uncovered traces Of the
ransom money in Hauptmann's note
book accounts, it was learned, and
this expert will explain the carpenters
accounts to the jury.
The identity of the woman witness
Is being guarded carefully. She visited
the Hauptmann home one day while
Hauptmann was absent, the authority
said, and was admiring a new article
OF furniture-a cabinet-of which Mrs.
Hauptmann appeared very proud.
Examining the cabinet closely, the
visitor said she came on q cache of
neatly wrapped currency in one of the
compartments.
The discovery made her exclaim in
surprise, the authority said, but Mrs.
Hauptmann made light of the matter
with the remark:
That is some money Bruno earned
IN stock market transactions.
Blow at Defense Seen.
The State regards this testimony as
a damaging blow at Hauptmann's
contention that the ransom money
found in his possession was given him
IN a shoe box by Isadore Fisch, q
business associate, since deceased.
Hauptmann has maintained he did
not know the contents of the shoe
box until 1t broke open, after it had
become watersoaked from rain. which
leaked into the closet where he put
it for safekeeping.
Hauptmann's expense books and
ledgers were found when his house
was searched after his arrest in Sep
tember. Authorities described them
as exceedingly accurate" saying
they contain itemized accounts of such
trivial expenses as pennies for a box
Of matches and 2-cent stamps.
They show frequent totals. investi-

cial disclosed, that the first evidences
of the ransom money were found.
From this point the Federal expert has
reputeelly traced how the ransom
money crept in and out of the former
German machine gunner's financial
accounts.
Guard Tied to Wrist.
The thumbguard, which Miss Cow
found a few days after the kid
naping, had been tied by tape to the
wrist of the child's sleeping suit.
The tape was still tied when it was
found, and the State will contend, It
was learned, that the sleeping gar
ment vas hastily stripped from the
baby's body by a kidnaper who did not
have time to unite the tape.
