Q-(By Mr.. Reilly you didn't

Mr.. Reilly seemed to think this
was an important admission. He
smiled with satisfaction.
The witness admitted she had

Mr.. Reilly brusquely wanted to
know if, being so devoted to the
child. she had not put him to
bed at 7:30 p. m. and failed to
visit the baby's nursery until 10
p. m. Miss Cow admitted that
was right.
Shy on Stand
Pale and a trifle nervous, Miss
Cow walked timidly to the stand
at 1910 a. M, shortly after court
opened. She wore a brown dress
and a small, tricky black hat
with a brown feather. Her brown
hair was freshly waved. Her face
was serious as Attorney General
David T. Wilentz began question
ing her.
Hauptmanne had entered tn
courtroom, surrounded by armed
guards at precisely 10 a. m. The
judge had not yet come on the
bench and photographers let loose
O barrage of flashlights. Haupt-
mann blinked. but otherwise his
pale face showed no sign of emo
ton. He wore dark brown suit
and a dark gray shirt.
Col. Charles A. Lindbegm ar
rived an instant later and took
q seat beside Col. H. Norman
Schwarzkopf at the prosecution
table. Colonel Lndbergh was
only a few feet away from Haupt-
mann.
Mrs. Anna Hauptmann. the
prisoners wife, came into the
courtroom few minutes before
Justice Thomas w. Trenchard as
cended the bench. She came in
side the railing for a brief chat
with her husband. Their talk
was quite animated. Hauptmann
favored his wife with several
smiles during their whispered
conversation.
One of the biggest crowds yet
let into the courtroom was pres
ent when court was called to or
der at 10:07 a. m. Many of the
spectators were sitting on the
window sills and standing in the
aisles. A majority of them were
women.
Miss Cow. answering the first
question of Mr.. Wilentz gave her
name as Bessie Mowat Cow, of
Scotland.
"HOw long were you employed
by the Lindberghs prior to
March /, 1892"
In a low voice, she replied:
"Since February rs, 1881"
"Where had you worked be-
fore?"

Special Orders

Miss Cow testified she had

as part of a plot.
She told how she had dressed
the baby at about 2 p. M, and
that his cold seemed pretty
good" at that time.
Then she told how, after his

when Mrs. Lindbergh came into
the nursery, and stayed with me
