The whereabouts of Hanna and Pin
Gus Fisch, brother and sister of Isidore
Fisch, reputed to have been before his
death an associate Of Bruno Richard
Hauptmann, were shrouded in mys-
terry today.
A scrubwoman employed in the
office Of Pincus Fisch said Hanna
took two months vacation and told
me to look after her house"
She said Fisch also had left the
city, but explained he was attending
to business in Czechoslovakia.
The charwoman said she believed
Hanna had gone to the United States,
but members of the Fisch family still
in the city refused to comment.
The American consulate here would
neither affirm nor deny rumors that
the pair were among those who sailed
for New York from LIE Harve on board

case might have been arranged by the
State Department in Washington di-
rectly with German authorities.

Curbstone lawyers today were trying

The North Dakota House refuses to
recognize Gov. Thomas H. Noodle
and has failed to notify him officially
it is in session.
1t nevertheless, in resolution in
troduced today, asked Noodle to pro-
duce proof Of his citizenship.
The ever-present sidewalk observers
pointed out Noodle might retort that
he possessed no official knowledge that
the House is meeting.
Walter Wexford, Lieutenant Gov

also is demanded, similarly has no Of

notify the Senate, over which Wexford
presides, that it Is convened, the same

The witness also identified the $14,-

the Bronx as part Of the money and
he related the full story Of Haupt-
mann's arrest and the subsequent in
vestigation.
For the fifth time in the trial the
prisoner heard his name pronounced
with emphasis by q witness.

The pronouncement was Wilson's
answer to the question Of who is
the man you are talking about?"
Tart cross-examination on possible
appearance Of any ransom bills since
Hauptmann's incarceration climaxed
with:
But you would not want to say
under oath in this court, as you sit
there now, that not a single ransom
bill has appeared since the arrest Of
Hauptmann would you?"

Won't Extend Statement.
''Will you say that not a ransom
bill has appeared anywhere in the
world since the arrest Of Haupt-
mann?"
II don't know what has happened
throughout the world"
"Of course you DON'T" smacked the
cross-examiner, c. Lloyd Fisher of the
defense staff.
Questions about Wilson'S testimony
given in the trial Of John Hughes
Curtis, Norfolk shipbuilder, who was
convicted of obstructing justice in the
Lindbergh case, were ruled out on
State objections.
Wilson told his cross s-examiner that
the first ransom bill after the ran
som payment appeared at a New York
bank on Broadway near Seventy-sec-
ond street.
"The second was taken in and came
to light in a lower Broadway res
taurant," he testified.
He knew Of none appearing any
where in Connecticut and he had no
knowledge Of any outside Of the
United States.
He was likewise without knowledge
Of an alleged deposit Of $4,000 Of the
money by Max Schlang, who was

BRUNO INTERESTED
IN HANDWRITING.
Follows Closely Testimony
on Specimens Produced in
Evidence by Police.
BY the Associated Press.

PENNINGTON, N. j., January Ii
Bruno Richard Hauptmann, fianked
by three guards, followed intently
today the States attempts to prove
that he wrote the Lindbergh ransom
notes.
As specimens of his hand were
introduced for comparison with the
writing of the ransom notes, he
leaned forward to talk earnestly with
his attorneys, telling them how the
specimens were obtained.
His chief counsel, Edward j.
Reilly, said that when Hauptmann
takes the stand to defend himself
against the charge he killed the kid
naped Lindbergh baby, he will tes-
tify that the handwriting examples
were made under duress.
Interested in Handwriting.
"If Hauptmann had not written the
samples for the police" Reilly quoted
one of his associates as saying, 'of
course, the officers would have sent
out and got him great big mince
pie and a quart of ice cream and
said, all right Bruno, eat these and
60 to bed and have nice Sleep"
Hauptmann's interest in the hand
writing evidence contrasted sharply
with his apparent indifference to the
testimony yesterday of DR.. John F.
Condor, the Lindbergh ransom inter-
Once he remarked in German to
his wife: IT never saw the man in
my life" Beyond that, he kept to
himself his reaction to "JafSie's" iden-
tiflcation of him as the John" who
received the ransom.
Gives Evidence Of Anger.
He gave evidences of anger when he
was led into court with guards clasp
ing him tightly by each wrist. Until
then he had been as free as any spec
tator in the court room.
Sheriff John H. Curtiss, however.
became alarmed for the safekeeping
of his prisoner after Hauptmann had
been separated from his guards by the
crowds in the cramped little room,
and ordered his wrists held to prevent
any object being passed to him.
After talking to her husband, Mrs.
Anna Hauptmann elaborated on his
reactions to DR.. Condon's testimony,
"Jafsie might be telling the truth,
but it is about some one else. He

his arrest"

C0NDON'S LETTER
GIFTS EXPLAINED
Son.in!Law Says Mystery
Worhan' Requested
Samples.
BY the Associated Press.


PENNINGTON, N. j., January IL
The mystery of the woman In green,
whose appearance at the Hauptmann
murder trial created sudden stir.
was explained today by Ralph Hacker,
son-in-law bf DR.. John F. Condor.
Hacker said the woman. identified
as Mrs. J1ermina Koren, came to the
Condor nome during the investigation
of the Lindbergh kidnapping with an
other who was certain she could solve
the case; the incident was reported
to the Department of Justice, but
nothing came of it.
The woman in green" rose dra-
matically from her seat among the
witnesses yesterday at the bidding of
Defense Counsel Edward j. Reilly, who
asked DR.. Condor If he had ever seen
her before.
The 74-year-old "Jafsie" of the
Bronx said he had seen her with a
Mrs. Busch. Reilly passed swiftly to
other angles of questioning and the
State made light of the incident.
Hacker recalled today that late in
1888 or early in 1884, when DR.. Con-
don was receiving scores of letters
and calls from persons who wanted to
help solve the crime, Mrs. Koren &C
companied Mrs. Busch to the Condor
home.
Insisted on Seeing Condor.
After the incident was reported to
the Department of Justice, Hacker
said, Mrs. Busch came again to the
Bronx home Of the CondonS and in
sisted that she see DR.. Condor. He
called his father-in-law, who listened
to her story and her demand that she
be given a sample Of the handwriting
OF the ransom notes.
Hacker said DR.. Condor called him
aside and suggested that to mollify
her he give her a couple of old letters
picked at random from pile on his
desk. He said that if she actually
were in touch with the kidnapers she
would know Immediately that the
handwriting was not theirs.
Hacker said he followed instructions
and gave her two loosely folded
sheets Of paper, but said nothing
about what they contained. Mrs
Busch went her way.
one sheet was a note from tenant
dDOUV 1Cpduo, llc dSScIUtQ, dQClIlR
the subject matter of the other was
about as remotely removed from the
Lindbergh kidnapping case. They now
are introduced as evidence and await
explanation from defense counsel as
to what they have to do with the
case. The State may call Hacker
to explain how they passed from the
possession of DR.. Condon
Confusion" Cited.
Reilly said today he believes con-
fusion in the record of the testimony
of DR.. Condor would remove much
of the effect from "Jafsie's" state
ment that john (Who received the
Lindbergh ransom) is Bruno Richard
Hauptmann."
The chief defense counsel said he
would attempt to discount DR.. Con-
don's testimony as the work of the
imagination of 74-year- man
His parting shot at DR.. Condor yes
terday, after two days of spirited
give-and-take, was:
You have rotten memory, doctor"
The defense declared Jafsie's de-
scription of John" appeared con-
fused. DR.. Condor described the
man variously as one with a cough
"as though the beginning of a pull
monary affliction" and, again. as q
very active, athletic" person.
