Reilly asked then if Hauptmann
was always kind to his wife.
"A very nice man." she replied. "I
mean good to his family, a very re-
spectacle man."
Wilentz objected and the answer
was ordered stricken out.
Reilly objected and argued that the
State had injected an inference Of
improper relation between Hauptmann
and Mrs. Greta Henckel.
Justice Trenchard modified his or
der to eliminate only Mrs. Mueller's
statement that Hauptmann was re
spectacle"
Q. Did Mr. Hauptmann treat his
wife with respect and affection? A.
Yes.
Reilly ended his examination and
WilentZ taxed the witness on her
memory Of the time the party broke
up.
She insisted that the visitors left
between $50 and 10 pm. and not
earlier.
Wilentz sought to elicit from the
witness the information that she
might have left the Hauptmann house
earlier on the birthday night.
That's Lie" Says
Mrs. Mueller.
@. Isn't 1t fact that you came
home at o'clock and got supper for
your husband? A. My husband, he
sometimes works until midnight.
@. But that night he was home at
6 o'clock, wasn't he, and you came
home from Hauptmann's and got his
supper? A. Oh, no.
@. Do you remember telling the
Bronx police that nobody drove you
home that night? A. Oh, that's a
lie.
The witness said Hauptmann had
taken her home alone.
Reilly took the timid little witness
for redirect. He brought out the great
distance between her home and the
Greenwich Village Theater. where the
ransom bill was passed. He was obvi-
ously seeking to show the jurors 1t
would be impossible for Hauptmann
to drive her home and then speed
southwark to cash the bill.
Mrs. Mueller said that she had
talked to various police officers in the
Bronx after the arrest.
@. Did you suggest the name for
the Hauptmann baby? A. Yes, be-
cause my cousins baby on the other
side was named Mannfried.
Joseph ]. Tartell, a New Yorker who
identified himself as patron Of
Loew's Theater in Sheridan Square,
was the next witness called
Associate Defense Counsel Frederick
A. Pope questioned the dark young
man. It became Immediately apparent
the defense planned to use him to
attack the testimony Of Mrs. Cecile
Barr, the theater ticket taker who
said Huptmann passed a ransom bill
at her window.
Tartell said he was frequent Wis
itor at the Sheridan Square theater,
sometimes twice a week."
He said he knew Mrs. Cecile Barr,
the theater ticket seller.
@. What personal experience have
you had with Mrs. Barr with reference
to making change during the past two
years?
wilentz objected to the question as
immaterial.
Pope rephrased it to inquire "just
how good was Mrs. Bars recollection
Of faces and remembrance of people?"
Cashiers Recollection
Topic Of Questions.
Wilentz objected again and Pope
continued his effort to assail the
woman's recollection Of making
change for q ransom bill allegedly
tossed to her by Hauptmann.
Wilentz asked the justice to in
struct the defense attorney to aban-
don the line of questioning.
81 will see how far It goes" Trench
ard said, land I'll deal with it later" :"
@. ask you If on one occasion
you handed Mrs. Barr q S. bill?
Another prosecution objection
choked of the answer.
Pope pressed the question, stating
II was the defense's purpose to bring
out that on an occasion similar to
that on which she identified Haupt-
