BRUNO APPEAL
PAPERS FILED
Attorneys Cite 1913 Reasons
Why Penalty Should
Be Reversed

TRENTON. N. j., May 10. Up
Bruno Richard Hauptmann's coun-
sci. assigning 1913 reasons for re-
versal OF his convection Of the
Lindbergh baby killing, stressed
Friday the states varying theories"
of how the child was killed and the
states 'inflammatory summation
to the jury.
Egbert Rosecrans. counsel for
Hauptmann. filed Friday with the
clerk Of the court Of errors and
appeals, the defense arguments for
reversal. The court will hear the
appeal June 20.
The grounds parallel the charges
OF error in the trial, which were
filed several weeks ago, and include
the allegations that the trial vas a
circus maximum" that a "hys-
terical mob spirit" prevailed, and
that Col. Charles A. Lindbergh's
daily presence "unduly influenced"
the Jury.
After citing so excerpts from the
summation OF Attorney General
David T. Wilentz in which he call
ed Hauptmann public enemy num-
her ] of this world" and said he
was "the inspiration for the great
est series OF the meanest crimes In
the history Of the world" the de-
Tense said:
The attorney general over
stepped the bounds OF propriety and
fairness which should character
lie the conduct Of such an officer
and because said summation con-
tanned improper insinuations. asser-
lions, expressions Of personal opin-
ion and comments upon facts not
In evidence, all Of which calculated
TO mislead the jury to the prejudice
Of the defendant and involved q
question Of public policy"
The court Of errors and appeals
last week granted the defense per-
mission TO include WilentZ's open
ing remarks to the jury and his
summation in the trial record
Rosecrans said Friday his complaint
against the summation was IN line
with a recent decision Of the United
States supreme court in which thu

Betty Cow
Tells Story
OF kidnapping

PENNINGTON, N. j., Jan. T.
Betty Cow, the last person to see
Charts Augustus Lindbergh, Jr.
alive with the exception of the
person who actually killed the child,
was subjected to searching cross
examination today by chief defense
attorney Edward j. Reilly in the
trial Of Bruno Richard Hauptmann
here.
The defense. which last week had
promised startling revelations about
servants within the Lindbergil
home and had intimated strongly
that it would disclose material that
would shift suspicion away from
Hauptmann and onto members of
the Lindbergh household did not
get very far with Miss Cow.
Under the direct examination of
Attorney General David T. Wilentz.
Miss Cow, who had been tie
nursemaid of the murdered child
from the time that he was only a
few weeks old, identified the child's
sleeping garment and the thumb
guard he was wearing on the night
of the kidnapping.
Background Searched
Reilly was particularly keen on
finding out the details of the pretty
nurses background. He asked uues-
ton after question about her boy
