ed today after a three ee-and-one-halt
hour grand jury session that the case
against Bruno Richard Hauptmann,

money, had been completely broken" ="

fore the grand jury that two closet
panels had been found in the Haupt-
man home which bore the address and
telephone number of DR.. John F.

$4,000 Lindbergh ransom to sup

On the other. according to Foley.
were serial numbers. one of which has
been found to be the number on one
of the ransom bills
Foley said the boards were proof to
him that Hauptmann was in COM
munication with "Jafsie" regarding
the negotiations and "Hauptmann is
undoubtedly the man who received
the s5O,000 from DR.. Condor"
Foley said the boards constituted a
clever bit of carpentry and it was
recalled that at the time of his arrest
last week Hauptmann described him
self as a carpenter, now out of work
but who had followed his craft both
in Germany and in this country.
The prosecutor said that when the
panel bearing DR.. Condons address
was shown to the prisoner he
acknowledged he had written it and
the telephone number because he was
interested in the case. However,
Foley did not state whether he ex-
planned the nature Of this interest.
Several exhibits were taken today
before the Bronx County grand jury
hearing the extortion case against
Hauptmann. These included the
Sl3.750 in ransom bills found in
Hauptmann's Bronx garage. a can
which contained the money and a
box containing pair of shoes Haupt-
mann bought for his wife and al
legedly paid for with one of the ran
som notes. The ransom notes also
were taken before the jury.
Expert Is Witness.
During the time the money and
notes we're before the Jury, Albert S.
Osborn, handwriting expert, was a
witness and he was kept in the grand
jury room for al. hour After he had
oeen sent out of the room. he made
the statement that. without breaking
grand jury condolences he could state
that Hauptmann was the man who
wrote the ransom notes Osborn said
he based this conclusion on his study
OF the ransom notes and Hauptmann S
signature on his automobile registra-
ton card. Osborn was accompanied
to the grand jury room by his son.
Albert D. Osborn.
Another of the days important wit
nesses was Col. Henry Breckinridge
personal counsel to Col. Lindbergh and
one of the principals in the search for
the kidnapped baby Col. Breckinridge
accompanied Col. Lindbergh on some
OF his visits to the Condor home
during the ransom negotiations.
Col. Breckenridge. called back from

session, declined to discuss his ap-
pearance, nor would he say anything
about his prospective meeting with
Col. Lindbergh when the flyer and
his wife return from the West Coast

phatically today that no indictment
