@. show you a deposit of $728.
A. This time ! was working very
hard, mostly evenings, Sundays and
I opened an account at
White Plains avenue. In couple
of months I closed the account about
S728.
The account, Reilly brought out,
was opened in September, 1927, with
$3.50.
Hauptmann studied the bank record
With a slight frown, as Reilly went
from item to item, deposits and with
drawals.
@. Now, there were Withdrawals In
the account of Richard and Anna in
1928, 30th of November, 29th of De-
cember and 31st of December. You
made three Withdrawals totaling $485.
Can you explain the Withdrawals.
A. really can't explain. They were
probably loans to friends.
Another withdrawal of 1923, he said,
was used in stock trading with Carle-
ton & Mott.
@. And in 1929 you were doing
business with Steiner Rouse, weren't
you?
A. No, it was
@. Or with Carleton g. Mott, was it?
A. Yes.
@. Now here is a withdrawal in
1880 of $500 on June IA and 5000
June IS. Can you tell what they
were for?
A guess I put the money in the
stock market. I can't remember.
Reilly Seeks to Explain
Hauptmann Prosperity.
Reilly was slowly leading up to his
announced intention of explaining
away the Hauptmann l9321934 pros
perity, which the State contends came
from the ransom money.
Q. After these two Withdrawals

pay for his car in July, 1881.
@. Here is a withdrawal of $3.50
July 3?
A guess that was the trip to
California
Reilly finally reached 1882 and he
questioned Hauptmann on the de-
posits and Withdrawals. Some of the
Withdrawals the witness said were for
the fur business which he conducted
with Fisch.
