Mr.. Osborn explained there are
two classes of the handwriting ex-

planning:
"The graphOlogists infer from
handwriting the individuality Of
the writer-anything from his
health to whether, let us say, he
likes dogs"
1t was indicated by Mr.. Osborn's
answers that the State probably
will challenge the "expertnesS" OF
some of the graphologist witnesses

perts.

began to rise.
She simply didn't answer.
Mr.. Reilly went back to the
night the girl said she saw
Hauptmann watching DR.. Condor
in the station.
Q.-And when you saw DR..
Condor in the station what was
he doing? Ale was directly
in profile to me. He was excited
and he was talking to the tele.

Yes.

A.-Neither. I am neither doctor

then I'll call you Judge.
Even Justice Thomas w. Tren-
chard joined in the laughter
which followed.
Mr.. Osborn then explained, he
did not think the holes in the
ransom notes were made by any
kind Of a punch, but rather by a
nail, or some similar instrument.
Q.-Dosen't the writing on the

After Mr.. Stein said he had
studied the ransom notes closely
and had also examined Haupt-
mann's penmanship, Assistant At
torney General Lanigan asked
him.
And what did you decide
from this study as to who was
the writer of the ransom nOteS?"
He replied:
II decided that the writer Of
the ransom notes was Bruno
Richard Hauptmann."
Like Albert S. Osborn, the
States handwriting expert, who
had testified earlier in the day,
Mr.. Stein said he had reached
this conclusion because of peculi-
arities of penmanShip. spelling.
and use of words which he said
occur both in the ransome notes
and the Hauptmann handwriting
specimens.
Mr.. Stein hauled out a stack
of photographs of handwriting
studies and the defense lawyers
went into a huddle over it to de-
eide whether they would admit it
to evidence by stipulation.
Court was adjourned at 1926 p.
m. for the luncheon recess until
las p. m. Spectators we're asked
not to leave their seats until after
the jury had filed out. There was
a buzz of conversation in the
court room at adjournment over
the appearance on the stand of
Miss Alexander, the mystery wit
ness"
Mr.. Osborn, the States chief
handwriting expert, weathered a
blistering cross-examination by
the defense today and stepped
from the stand at 1888 a. m.
without having made any impor-
tant concessions.
The defense failed to break
down his contention that Haupt-
mann wrote the IA Lindbergh ran
som notes.

utely by Defense Counsel Reilly.
denied that the late 1sador Fisch
wrote the ransom notes.
Fisch is the man Hauptmann
claims left the ransom money in
his possession before he left in
1888 for Germany, where he died.
Mr.. Reilly demanded that Mr..
Osborn produce samples of Fisch's
handwriting which the expert said
he had studied. The samples, it
was indicated, will be produced
later and Mr.. Osborn may be re-
called.

Over hundred.
Q.-Where did the specimens

The name of the late Isidor
Fisch, furrier friend of Haupt-

testimony. According to Haupt-
mann, it was Fisch who left the
Lindbergh ransom money in his
possession.
A total of $14,600 in ransom
money was found in Hauptmann's
home. Fisch went to Germany in
1888 and died in Leipzig of tuber'
culosis.

is white-haired, red-faced, slender,
and wore a gray suit.
He said he had studied hand
writing for 80 years and that he
figured in the recent Vanderbilt
and Wendell cases in New York.
Mr.. Stein said he made his
first examination of the Lind
bergh ransom notes in July, 1882.
He examined them again a cou-
pie of months ago. He said he
examined the conceded request
writing" of Hauptmann.
He testified his offices are in
New York. He said he had testi-
fled in cases in q States, includ-
ing some in Canada and Alaska.
He mentioned among these the
Bert Gambel case in Saginaw,

cago, the Schafter case in New

Q.-Where was the station

Q.-Don't you know there is no

the young lady with a barrage OF
questions about her knowledge OF
the railroad, the trains, and the
station.
When Mr.. Wilentz objected, JUS
tice Thomas w. Trenchard asked:
What is the purpose of this line

Mr.. Reilly said:

The Pennington dispatch drew
the inference that study of the

reaching the same conclusion as
did Mr.. Osborn-that the ransom

that it directed attention to the

and directed Mr.. Osborn's atten'
ton to the charts on the wall.
Q.-Note the breaks in the lines
on those letters? Ayes.
Q.-Don't those breaks indicate
those letters were copied from
something else. A.-No. There

Q.-Have you ever lived in

white-haired witness closely about

Then he asked:

Justice Trenchard raped for

warning the court did not wish

again."
Compares Writing
Mr.. Reilly hammered away al
what he insistantly termed dis

writing and that of the ransom
notes and Of some of the notes with
others. It was the first intima'
ton the defense had given that
