 Bennington, Jan 10.-(UP)- - { Bruno Richard Hauptmann's de- fense to-day introduced "a woman in a green dress" as a mystery exhibit to refute Dr John F. Con- don's melodramatic tale of the Lindbergh ransom negotiations.
 Tho woman, whose name was given simply as Mrs Koeran" had ing to the defense, had been given two letters which were not yet in evidence when noon recess was ordered.
 Attorney General David T. Wi- , lentz demanded that the two let ters be submitted at once to the court. After a wrangle 1t was determined that they would not go into evidence until the defense opens its case:
 Jafsie admitted knowing the wo- man, and that she had, been at his house. He was not sure he had given her any letters, he said.
 The appearance of the woman, who stood directly in front of Jaf- sic while he looked her over and decided he knew her, came as the first big defense surprise.
 He Told Fantastic Tales
 Previously the Garrulous old gentleman admitted he had told all manner of fantastic tales re- garding the Lindbergh Kidnapping to "outsiders''.

 Jafsie admitted he might have made some such remark.
 At the time the body was dis. covered, it was remarked that tele' phone linemen had passed within few feet of the "grave" while lying their cables. only few days previously. Thousands of persons had tramped over the muddy Sourland Hills searching for traces of the baby. State troopers and New Jersey police. the constabulary and hordes of newspapermen had ploughed their way over the hills Yet none of them had come upon the grave.
