Q. On March /, 1882, were you in
that bakery?
A. Yes, was.
@. What time were you there2
A About quarter to 2.
Q. Did you see Mrs. Hauptmann
there?
A. Yes, she waited on me.
@. See any one else there who Is IN
the court room?
A. Yes, Mr.. Hauptmann.
Q. Where was he?
A. In the front of the bakery.
Reilly brought out that Manley
arose from sick bed" to come to
court and released him for cross
examination.
Wilentz asked II Manley knew the
Hauptmanns. He said he did not, but
had seen the defendants picture In
the paper.
Manley said Hauptmann was drink
ing a cup Of coffee when he was in
the bakery.
@. Was it so much coffee he would
still be drinking it at $50?
A. I don't know.
@. Are you very sick man?
A. am, yes.
"All right, Mr.. Manley, that Is all"
the attorney general said, and the
witness stepped weakly down from the
stand.

made a mark by a nail hole on the
LADDER.
@. If that's the hole then that's the
board?
A. Yes
@. And if that board matches the
board in Hauptmann' attic, than
you would say that it came from
there?
A. Yes.
A. You're sure that board was there
on that ladder, in March, 1882?
A. Yes.
A. And If Government men, from
Washington and Wisconsin, police in
New Jersey. and other officials, re-
ported in March, 1882, there were four
nail holes, then you say they are
mistaken?
The question was excluded on de-
fense objection.
DR.. Hudson testified that prints did
not sink into painted surfaces and
his process would be Ineffective.
@. So that Hauptmann might have
had his hands on the window ledge,
morning, noon and night, and your
process wouldn't show 1t?
A. No.
The silver-nitrate process would
not work on the beer stein, either,
the witness said.
"On a non-absorbing surface" he
explained. "the process is not used"
Believed Wood
In Ladder Came From Crate.
Pope, on redirect examination,
asked why DR.. Hudson remembered
only one nail hole.
The doctor explained that his ex-
animation led him to believe the
square nail had been driven through
the board into cleat. He believed,
he said, the wood came from crate.
@. If one flngerprint was super
imposed on another, could both be
identified?
A. II sufficient ridges Of both ap-
peared.
DR.. Hudson explained he entered
the case merely with "the hope" he
could find fingerprints but not. to
identify any.
@. You testified that this board (al-
legged Hauptmann attic board) was
there when you examined the ladder?
A. Yes. 4.
@. If you saw one nail hole then
and there are more now, would you
still say so?
Wilentz objected, asserting that DR..
Hudson had already testified that it
was the board and had identified the
square nail hole in it.
Dr.. Hudson was excused and court
recessed for five minutes at 1885 am
Hauck, during the recess, said the
photographs shown DR.. Hudson
showed four square nail holes and were
taken March 8, 1882. DR.. Hudson first
saw the ladder March IS, 1882.
When court resumed William White
head, q middle-aged man, was called
by the defense.
The defense planned to use the wit
ness to attack the credibility of Mil
lard Whited, the State witness who
placed Hauptmann twice near the
Lindbergh home prior to the crime.
The roughly-dressed witness said he
was 81 years old and had known Mil
lard Whited all his life. The questions
were put by c. Lloyd Fisher, co-coun-
sci for defense.
Witness Admits Whited
Never Was in Prison.
@. What's the reputation Of Millard
Whited for veracity?
A. No good.
Fisher released the witness and
Wilentz asked II Millard Whited had
ever been In jail.
Whitehead said no.
"Have you ever been In 1ail2"
wilentz asked.
II were." Whitehead replied.

As the answer was being made the
prosecution objected and was sus-
tanned.
Reilly then began inquiries rs to a
fur cutter friend of Fisch named Kern.
Reilly asked Uhlig to name the
places where Kern" lived in Brooklyn.
Uhlig could not say where the man
lived March 4, 1882.
Reilly exhibited an envelope mailed
March 4, 1882.
Q. Does that resemble Fisch's print
ing?
Wilentz objected but Justice Trench
ard allowed an answer.
Uhlig said he did not know.
Reilly took new slant.
@. Where did Hauptmann live In
March, 1882?
A. don't know.
@. Where did he live in the Fall
of 1882?
A. don't know. I met him at
Henkei's house.
Justice Trenchard interrupted to
announce that complaint OF "condl-
tions" in the balcony had been re-
ceived from the press. He said he
could not determine what was wrong
from the bench and advised that fu-
ture complaints be addressed to the
sheriff.
The attorney general asked Uhlig
one question in cross-examination.
@. Mr.. Fisch was an American ciu-
zen, was he not?
A. Yes sir.
Uhlig was excused.
Painter Identifies
Man in Bakery as Bruno.
Walter Manley, a painter from the
Bronx, was then called.
Reilly asked him II he were familiar
with the Fredericksen Bakery, where
Hauptmann said he had been on the
kidnap night.
Manley said he was.

A. have no idea.
Jersey State Police
Glad to Hear of Process.
@. On March l, 1882, your process
was not being used by the police de-
partments?
A. AS far as I know, they were not

police did not know about your
! process?
A. They were very glad to hear
about it.
@. So far as you know no police
department in the country used your
method?
A. Not as far as ! know.
The witness next was led through
an explanation of the effect of his
silver nitrate process on wood. Dis
coloration, he said, resulted.
@. How long would it last?
A. That diScoloration would con-
tinue and the wood grow darker.
Wilentz then showed him a large
photograph and asked him if the
piece of wood showed any signs of
being treated with his silver nitrate
method. The witness parried for
several minutes before finally de-
claring he could not say it had or
had not been processed.
The attorney general, pursuing his
interrogation, showed the witness q
picture of nail holes in the ladder.
@. Assuming that this picture were
taken in March, 1882, would you
agree that possibly you were mistaken
yesterday in your testimony?
A. Well, under your premise would
say yes.
@. If this piece of wood were ex-
amined in March, April, May, 1882.
by persons other than the State police
and they saw those four nail holes
and filed reports on their finding,
would that induce you to believe you
! had been mistaken?
A. No, it would not.
@. If United States Government
experts found those nail holes and
so reported, would that induce you
to change your opinion?
A. No, sir, it would not.
Pope popped up with an objection
and Wilentz began to test the ply
.sicians knowledge on other features
of the ladder.
Saw What He
Believed Were Saw Cuts.
@. You found saw cuts in addition
to those necessary to build the ladder?
"A. I saw what thought were saw
cuts.
@. And you made a notation OF
| them?
A. don't recall.
Wilentz took Dr. Hudson's charts. ia
look, apparently without success. for
any designation of saw cuts.
Wilentz, exhibiting another ladder
picture, asked If DR.. Hudson could
note any discoloration.
The witness said he couldn't tell
from the photograph
The interrogation turned back to
possible notations of saw cuts in DR.,
Hudson's data. He indicated the
words saw cut seven-eighths of an
inch"
The witness, after urging by JUS
tice Trenchard, agreed that the note
was his.
Hostility was marked in the atti-
tude of both the attorney general and
the witness.
Lindbergh and Col. Breckenridge
followed the duel with much atten-
ton.
! At one time Breckenridge leaned
over and whispered suggestion to
an attorney at the prosecution table
| The cross-examination went back
again to discoloration of the ladder
wood by the chemical.
