Explaining the meaning or CIT cumstantiaI evidence, Wilentz said:
 ''Some circumstantial evidence screams much louder than other evidence"
 .'Somctimes bear fin Yellow stone Park goes native. What do they do? They shoot him. because he Is menace.
 '"The cIrcumstantial evidence in this case is sufficient to prove HnuptmanD committed the murder.
 But in this case we have more than that. We have Dr Condon's Identification; Perrone's ideDtifica- ton is not circumstantial; nor is Col Lindbergh's.
 "Thc $I5,O00 In the garage, the sleeping garment are not circum- stantial.
 ''col and Mrs Lindbcrgh can't go into public places. They can't go into the theater; the movies like you and me. They can't even walk the streets of Bennington.
 They're cursed because of the glory of their fame"
 Wllentz traced brie. the return of Col Lindbergh to Hopewell on the night of the Kidnapping.
 ''Millions of people all over the world were praying the next day for the return of the child"
 He portrayed to the jury the crowds that flocked to Hopewell after the news of the kidnapiD,; went out.
 "What did the police have They have a note and they had ladder When they had the ladder everyone knew 1t. When they found the note everyone knew it. When they found the chisel on the Lindbergh estate-everyone knew it. It wasn't planted on Hauptmann. 1t was Hauptmann's tool.
 There was one thing about this fellow that committed that crime.
 "He had Something on that note so Col Lindbergh would know If he got another note.
 "So he put down 'Ouer stngna- ture'."
 As Wilentz took the ransom notes and displaying them, he shouted:
 "Bruno Richard Hauptmann wrote these notes. No one else but he could have written them.
 "Heres the 'singnature-"B for the blue, R for the red in the sym bol and IF for the holes in the note.
 "BR H-Bruno Richard Haupt- mann.
 Wilentz pointed out that in the ransom notes the dollar sign for lowed the figures everytime 1t was used.
 "The first ransom note Is dis guised a little bit more than the second. The second note was on the same paper as the first"
 Wilentz explained that inactivity by the Lindberghs prompcd the neyt ransom note.
 Wilentz took up Dr Condon.
 "Eyeryone wanted to help in this case to return the baby. Even the president of the United States offered himself.
 ''Is 1t any wonder that Dr John E. Condon, at 75, offered himself.
 "Why a man over 40 couldn't walk in this courtroom without being branded eccentric.
 "What did Condon do? He wrote a letter to his paper offer ing his services as a go between.
 "They accuse this man Condon they who brought unto court man who said he witnessed things at Il CSU1eLeTy Whcl III i"Nh HO was involved at the very moment in an automobile accident miles away---a perjurer who stank to the heavens!
 "Condon riskod his life for Col. . Lindbergh, just as millions would. Lindbergh thinks he's all right. Col. Breclsinridgc believed in him.
 sThe kidnaper trusted him.
 ''Did you see him on the stand?
 "Did you see what he wore on his coat? An American flag, the same as he has worn every day Of his life"
 WiIentz told, in an impassiOned voice, of Dr Condon's efforts 10 get Col. Lndbcrgh on the telephone. The police were blocked. WilentZ said, because Lindbergh still want ed his child back.
 "Did you see the delightful old soul? As sweet as sugar and thoroughly delightful.
 "Where did Condon sleep tha: night? In the baby's nursery-in the nursery where that night pr Condon prayed for the safe return of the baby--to return that infant to It's mothers arms.
 "You know, one of the favorite tricks of New York lawyers is to shout plant a trick to help criminals escape justice.
 "Now ask you did Perronc plant the description of this de- fendant in 1892"
 Perrone wrote down the descrlp- tion of IIauptmann in 1892, Wi 1entz said. He gave the description fo the man.
 U e. I,a I Nf,Il brown hair. Of German extraction, Thirty-fve or 3G. Why it fitted Hauptmann to n t."
 note after another reviewed the entire ransom negotiations of the Bronx educator.
 He told of COndon's meeting with Hauptmann In Woodlawn cemetery where the two men talked for one hour and 20 minutes.
 "So Condon sits there on an i'm portant mission. We have the dcs- cription of the man from Condon. Five feet 9, muddy blonde. Ger man or Scandinavian"
 WilentZ,' holding up the sleep ing suit for the jury to see, told of its return to the child's parents.
 Jurors. you know the man who nao the SieepIHB buII was III lHc nursery"
 That man knew the desire of the parents for tho return of the child
 Wilentz ripped into the testi Tnony of Benjamin Hcicr, who said he had sen a man resembling Ftsch at the cemetery.
 Earlier WilentZ characterized Heier as "perjurer whose testi- Inony stunk 10 heaven"
 Then he turned to his cXcorcia- ation of the stolid prisoner.
 "He not only murdered this child he not only crushed inc heart of Colonel Lindbergh and Anne Nor row Lindbcrgh, he wanted to steal their money. That's the kind of an animal! that's the kind of q mur- derer we've got to deal with.'
 He'd cut your heart with q ra zor. wipe 1t on his sleeve and 70 upstairs and eat; that's the kind of
