Pope asked Souder if he hac studied handwriting at the col leges he attended. He replied that he was interested in handwriting and after taking a doctors degree in physics at the University of Chi- cago, had gone to the Bureau of Standards.
 Pope's request that the answer be stricken from the record as not respohsive, was denied.
 Justice Trenchard repeatedly overruled the defense which ob- jected to the type of answers Souder was making.
 c. You were employed in this case to identify the writer of the request writing as the writer of the ransom notes?
 A. I was employed to study and make a report and not ordered to do. anything.
 Q. How many documents did you examine? 4. Thirty.
 0. You were not present when police obtained samples of the de- fendant's handwriting? A. No.

 After a few more questions Souder was excused and Albert D. Osborn, son of Albert s. Osborn, previous witness, was called to the stand.
 Lanigan questioned Osborn on his qualifications. He said he had been in the business of examining disputed documents for 13 years.
 O Have you seen these ransom letters? A. Yes. the original notes on two occasions and copies several times since.
 c. You have been engaged in this examination since 1es2? A. Yes.
 Q. Have you reached a conclu- sion on the ransom notes? A. Yes.
 Q. What is 1t? A. That all were written by the same hand.
 Osborn said he had examined the notes, the request writings, and the admitted Hauptmann speci- mens.
 Q. You have reached a corr clusion? A. Yes. { Q. What is it3 A. That Bruno Richard Hauptmann wrote all the ransom notes. Osborn presented q photographic exhibit of the writing on the wrap per in which the sleeping suit was returned to Dr John Y. Condcn.

Lost Of Handwriting Experts To Testify
This Will Clear the Decks for Witnesses Who Will
 Show Much More of the Spectacular

Although Attorney General David T. WIlentz said the German wit nesses would not be used unless the Hauptmann defense tries to pin the crime on Isidor Fisch. the utmost precautions were taken to guard them.
 "They will be taken to a safe place." said WiIentz, "and where that place Is. is nobody's business. They will be kept away from the press"
 It is, therefore, unlikely that the name of the dead man will be brought except indirectly - into the trial until after Bruno Richard Hauptmann goes on the stand and declares his former friend was the man from whom he received the ransom money.
 When that happens, the entire friendship, the intimate personal life, the habits. customs. lendlngs and borrowings, the quarrels and jealousies of Bruno Hauptmann's small group of Yorkville and Bronx companions will be dragged into the light.
 The prosecution says that when that happens, the name of the man now lying in a grave in Germany. will be cleared.

 Osborn said there were two ad- dresses on the paper. Lloyd Fisher of Defene, objected on the ground that Dr J. F. Condon had testified that he believed there was but one address on the wrapping paper.
 The objection was overruled with the remark that the defense might bring out its point in cross s-exam- ination.
 Osborn produced another chart. which showed enlarged script that Hauptmann wrote In Jail at the re- quest of police.
 Osborn said that in the first i've lines of the writing .Hauptmann tried to disguise his hand but save up the attempt then and reverted to his natural script.
 He said Hauptmann spelled the word ''our" in the request writing 'ouer'' the same spelling as used in the ransom notes.
 '.'I think this request writing shows Hauptmann's guilt" Osborn said.

GERMANY FAILS
 TO MAKE CHANCE

Washington, Oct. 10-(UP) --Sec- ret conversations to break the im- passe between Germany and Amer ica over trade policies have been held between secretary of state Cor dell Hull and Karl Ritter, chief of the economic section of the Reich foreign office. A high source dis closed today that important clarifi- cations of policy had. occurred but that the two nations still remain far apart.
 The talks failed to prevent Ger many being placed on the tariff Black List" beginning October 15, by which her traders will have to pay higher rates than other coun- tries on goods shipped into the United States. Ritter had extensive talks with mnay other officials here and with New York exporters and importers. He discussed the possi- bility of Germany alloting more foreign exchange for the purchase of American goods, but found that officials here would not remove Germany from the Black list unless she gave America equal treatment with other nations.
