board with the nail holes in the floor
beams where the board was missing
in the attic.
you could push them in pretty
easy" he said of the nails.
The visual demonstration brought
! the jury forward in their seats.
Asked to show where the nails were
pushed through, the rail into the
floor joistS, Enkler said, There's the
nails there now" pointing to a pho
tograph.
He identified nails produced as the
type"
Enkler said he discovered sawdust
on the ceiling plaster beneath the
attic flooring, at the end Of the board
now produced in court. In the ad-
| joining floor board, he said. was a
short saw cut directly above the little
pile of SawduSt.
Pope, opening the cross-examina-
ton, led the witness directly to the
nail experiment.
Q. How far did those cut nails ex-
tend into the floor beam when you put
them through the ladder rail?
A. About a half inch, maybe quar-
ter of an inch, just enough to bind
the boards in place.
Pope. pointing to the photograph
brought from Enkler that at least
one wire nail of different type was
used in the flooring.
O. Did you use much pressure in
putting in the nails?
A. Just the thumb.
Hauptmann Watches
Pictures in Evidence.
The witness illustrated the answer
with an expressive gesture.
AS Pope referred frequently to the
photographs Of the attic. Hauptmann's S
eyes kept on the pictures.
Pope elected from the carpenter
that the rail, if "butted" against the
board. would not fit with the nail holes
in the joistS. Further, he brought out
that only that last board and rail were
face" nailed. Others were nailed at
the edges
Wilentz interrupted to explain the
attic was accessible only to the Haupt-
manns. through linen closet.
Pope objected to the attorney gen.
erals testimony" and Justice Trench
ard overruled him. observing that
there seemed to be lot Of discussion
over trivial point.
| Peacock took the witness on redirect.
He directed the carpenters attention
to knot hole at the end of the piece
of board which the State contends was
cut in half for the ladder upright.
@. Is there any knothole in the lad
der panel?
| A No.
@. How do you account for that?
A. 1t was sawed of.
Pope Fights
| To Block Testimony.
Pope, fighting step by step to pre-
vent admission of the testimony OF
Hauptmann's alleged construction of
the ladder, interrupted repeatedly.
Once he bounded forward to pre-
vent the witness from answering an
objectional question and knocked over
his chair at the counsel table.
AnSelm Cramer, another police car
penter, was the next occupant of the
witness chair. In a deliberate voice
he told the same story as Ehkler had
just completed.
One ironic point in the whole ladder
testimony seemed to escape the ma
jority in court. The upright which
the State is seeking to prove came
from the Hauptmann attic was on thu
third, or top section Of the ladder

ladder" snapped Peacock at one point
in the argument.
"Never Part of Floor"
Declares Defense Attorney.
1T was never part of that floor" !"
retorted the chubby Pope. 1T IS a
false picture"
There's no manipulation, Wilentz
interrupted, I'VE are trying to be help
full The testimony is that this board
and rail 16' were placed on the floor
and the nails dropped into the holes
and they fitted perfectly"
I'VE don't want to agree to any
thing untrue" Pope said, taking up
the argument again.
Justice Trenchard ruled that the
photograph was evidence and he re-
fused to strike it from the case. He
opined the defense would not be
"prejudiced."
The croSS-eXamination resumed
after this wordy interlude.
Pope, who makes a hobby of wood
working and lumber study, tackled the
subject Of the attic wood with gusto.
He started out by establishing the
missing plank had been 8 feet In
length
@. What happened was you took
rail 16," I call it runner, and laid
1t in that vacant space in the floor?
A. Yes.
@. 1t didn't reach completely to
the end of the space, did it?
A. There was a space at the end
of an inch and a quarter.
@. The nail holes in that ladder
were so loose you could push nails in
and out?
A. With thumb pressure you could.
The questioning was on the upright
of the ladder which was made of Caro-
lima pine. All other uprights were
made of fir.
@. Any one ever experiment with
those holes?
A. Not to my knowledge.
Koehler Fitted Nails in
Holes Once Before Test.
Pope drew from the trooper detec-
tive the information that Koehler had
llIcu lIlC IdIS lLlJO bilC IlOlCo OllNC OC-
fore the attic experiment was tried.
@. Only once to your knowledge.
A. Yes. once.
Bornmann told Pope he visited the
attic twice before he took Koehler
there. The New York police, he
added. took charge.
@. The State police rented the
premise after Hauptmann left and re-
fused admission to the defense?
Wilentz objected.
A. 1 rented it.
Bornmann smiled and said he would
give permission to the defense to visit
the place, IF We can get together
on it"
@. Before this trial is over?
A. Yes.
Pope had him describe again the
linen closet through which access to
the attic was gained, and never missed
an opportunity to keep before the
jurors that the Hauptmann home was
infested with police" all during this
time.
He angled for information that all
the police had the run of the attic, but
Bornmann said as far as he knew this
was not SO.
Bornmann was excused.
A f1ve-minute recess was. called
at l1:21.
Police Carpenter
Describes Experiment.
Court resumed at 1881 am.
Charles w. Enkler, a New York
Police Department carpenter, who has
already testified, was recalled for his
story of the attic investigation of the
Bronx mouse.
He said he accompanied Born
mann September 25, 1884, when they
went into the attic.
Enkler said Bornmann drew his
attention to the missing 8-foot Sec
ton in the flooring.
The slow-spoken carpenter laid the
ladder, rail 16" down, on the jury
box rail and showed them how he
had matched the nail holes in that

HITS FORMOSA
Strong Shock Comes Be-
fore That Of April Is
Fully Recovered From

TAIHOKU, Formosa, May 81.
serious earth
quake struck northwestern For
mosa at 3:45 a. m. yesterday
rocking the same area recently
devastated with the loss of thou
sands of lives.
The shocks before dawn today
shattered houses in the towns of
Taichu and Shinchiku, center OF
the terrific quake earlier this
spring.
The terror stricken natives,
mostly Chinese in this Japan
owned island off the coast OF
China, rushed into the open, cow
ering in the darkness. Casualties
were feared high, but at present
are unknown.
Reports from Taichu said there
were no casualties in that city, al
though there was some damage.
Taichu's communications with the
interior were not damaged.
Authorities feared many again
had persisted in the latest disaster.
The quake took more )than 5000
lives last April and injured up
wards of 10000 persons.
The native huts that pass for
houses, made chiefly of mud with
matched roofs. were toppled by
the hundreds, catching the victims
in their sleep. The quake then, rs
now, occurred in the early morn
ing hours.
Relief work was still going on
under Japanese direction, aiding
the Formosan authorities and To-
cal troops, when the renewed trag-
edy. struck this morning, spread
ing destruction in the already
stricken island. The April quake
was the islands worst disaster.
It was the worst earthquake
since the shocks and fire when
killed nearly 100000 persons in
Tokyo and vicinity of September
l, 1923.
Seismologists consider today's
temblor an after-quake of the
April disturbance, destroying all
the weaker structures. However,
heavy damage at present is not in
dicated although the shock was
strong.
