SEES AID
FROM DEFENSE
BY LEIGH MATTESON

PENNINGTON. N. j., Jan
5 0.N.SO. - Attorney General
Wilentz plans to object as seldom
as possible to the defense counsels
conduct in the Hauptmann trial
it was disclosed today.
The prosecutions belief is that
Chief Defense Counsel Edward j
Reilly actually is aiding the State
in it's efforts to convince the jury
that Bruno Richard Hauptmann
was the lone slayer of the Lind
bergh baby and the collector Of
the $4,000 ransom.
This belief is based on an al
legged working knowledge of the
psychology of the individuals max.
ing up the jury in the case. All
the jurors are small town or coun-
try folk. And they are astonish'
ingly able to detect any slightest
inference that they can be sWayed
this or that way by cleverness on
the part of counsel for either side
The prosecution believes that
the jury already has become con-
vinced that Mr.. Reilly is "piling
things on too thickly."
Representatives at the States
table professed to have discerned
expressions of acute skepticism on
the faces of several of the jurors
as Mr.. Reilly's cross-examination
of the witnesses indicated his in.

The tradespeople Of Hopewel
and surrounding points.
An Insurance Agent
An insurance agent who may
or may not have called upon
Betty Cow for weekly payments
on her policy.
Violet Sharpe, because she did
commit suicide and was maid
in the Morrow household.
Red johnson, who called upon
her and has returned to Europe
to live.
The workmen who built the
Lindbergh home.
And last, but not least, the
Lindbergh dog, who didn't bark
the night of the kidnapping and
was therefore presumably in Ca
hootS' with the kidnapers.
Oh yes-and the Purple Gang
of Detroit, which didn't exist in
1882. all Of them being dead or
in Jail or retired, as everyone
knows.
Now that may seem quite a
list of suspects but it wasn't any
too big for Mr.. Reilly and in
fact I would like to wager a
small sum that it isn't big enough
and that he will increase and
amplify it considerably before the
trial is many days older.
Scatters Doubt
One presumes that the good
Mister Reilly's objective in thus
scattering insect powder over al
most everybody who ever met
the LindberghS or had any con-
nection with them is to plant a
measure of doubt in the minds of
the jurors.
Personally, I would feel more
doubtful if he didn't take in
quite such wide field.
1t was probably the most excit-
ing day ever spent in an Ameri
can courtroom, the day of Colonel
Lindbergh'S crosS-examination.
Colonel Lindbergh, a witness
who electrified the courtroom
who startled his non-partisans in
the newspaper field, said a very
true thing.
He said it during Mr.. Reilly's
brutal cross-examination. And
Mr.. Reilly succeeded as few peo
pie have ever done in making a
witness popular-in making him a
hero-in giving him a chance to
show himself at his best. Too
bad it wasn't Mr.. Reilly's own wit,
ness, but the star witness for the
prosecution.

Impressed Jury

Mrs. Lindbergh identified the
sleeping garments of her baby
which were handed to her on the
stand. The impression left in the
minds of the jury when she took
those garments in her hand and
bravely fought off any showing OF
emotion was unquestionably a
lasting one.
It was a hard blow at Haupt'
mann when Mr.. Reilly, in croSS-eX
Amining Col. Lindbergh, asked the
famous flier pointblank:

} Mr.. Reilly wanted to know the

Lindbergh nurse, the night the
baby was found missing. He
asked:
"Was she hystericaI?"
Colonel Lindbergh said:
"NO."
Mr.. Reilly asked if she was

Lindbergh did not think so.
When the trial is resumed next

direction of George F. Kortzen'
born.
From the opening prophecy by
Elijah, there shall not be dew
nor rain these years." the chorus
and soloistS sang through in q
spirited manner to the end. Al
times the chorus was led at a
speed that caused a tumble OF
pronunciation as in the "Baal
We cry to thee" chorus.
But for the most part the chorus
responded we'll to the baton of the
leader. The bass section seemed
to lack several good lead voices
to introduce it in pick-ups with
the result that several beats were
lost at times waiting for the BASES
to start.
There were a number Of cuts
made in the work, beginning with
the overture, and including the
choruses, "Woe To Him." "He
That Shall Endure" "Holy, Holy
Holy" recitative, For the Noun
tains," Behold God Hath Sent
Elijah" and the choruses, but

one That ThirSteth."
The soloiSts each sang in good
oratorio style and frequently there
was a stir in the audience which
gave evidence that they wished to
applaud but were restrained by
the request voiced on the program
Florence Sindell, soprano, sang
the part of the widow with feeling
and especially clear tones in the
upper register.

Louis L. Annis, tenor, sang the

While Robert Frederick Freund

list, his voice did not seem to fit
in with the conception of Elijah
His voice is of the lighter lyric
type, whereas Elijah should be
taken by a heavy basso profundo
On several occasions the low
effective tones of the Elijah airs
were not attempted and the
dramatic effect of 1T Is Enough, .
was lost to a large extent by the
lack of a robust voice to properly
interpret it.

AIDE RAPS
RED ACTIVITY
IN SCHOOLS

The Importance Of maintaining
the sanctity Of American schools
as a part Of our national defense
was emphasized by Assistant Sec
rotary of War Harry H. Wood
ring, addressing the banquet of
the National Council Of Reserve
Officers Association here last
night.
StreSSing the necessity Of pro,
tecting the school systems from
the assaults of foreign agitators,
Secretary Woodring said:
"Our schools must not be de-
based by un-American influ-
enceS. Our schools must not be
the ground where the seeds of
national defenSeleSSneSS can be
planted. Instead, our educa-
tionaI institutions should be our
national sculptOrS. They should
fashion the characters Of our
youth out of the rock of Amer
lean tradition and ideals. They
should model the national
thought and guide it toward a
greater faith in the stability
and justice of the American
form of government. They
should inStill in the hearts of
our youths a greater determine
ton to be loyal and useful citi-
zenS like their fOrefathers, who,
by unselfiSh service to their
country, fought for their prin-
ciples and built America-tO-
day, the admiration of the
world and the pride of all true
Americans"
Admitting the purpose of those
who sought to abolish war was
commendable, Secretary wood
ring warned not all of this &C
tivity was sincere and that agita-
tors were busy at work attack,
ing our basic beliefs regarding
ones obligation to his country.
Characterizing the Officers Re
serve Corps as "a boon to our
national Defense" Secretary
Woodring expressed hope that
they will use their influence to
see that their organization is
kept at its highest point of eff
cheney, that it is given the maxi
mum of training, and that it's
membership is always recruited
from the best of the manhood
of the country.
