 Office December 3l

' A total of 13,198 motorists had registered their cars for 1885 al the local motor vehicle office on or before Dec 31st, according to sta tisitcs released today by the state department of motor vehicles at Hartford. This figure Is the largest total recorded here in several years and compares more than favorably with the other cities of the state which have branch offices. In sad- dition, many sets of plates have been issued since the motor vehicle office opened again for business on Wednesday morning.
 Registrations for the entire state at the close of business on the 3lsi totaIed 2O8,679, a large gain over the 19G,403 total of the last day of 1883. Hartford again leads the list in number of registrations taken out with it's totals being 32,570 re- ceived and 37.440 issued.
 New Haven's total of 26.91f ranked second In the state, fol- lowed by the Bridgeport offices to- tai of 20,507. Next came Stam- ford, the latter city's figure being 15,797, then Waterbury with its 1S198 registrations. New London Dahbury, Norwich, Norwalk and New Britain come next in that or der. The Torrington branch office had total figure of 4.137 registra' tons, also marking big gain.
 The state totals will be added tc greatly during the early months oi the year, but the next big rush for plates will take place April l! when thousands of motorists will take theirscars out of storage foi use in the spring, summer and fall months. .p.

A calm, decisive witness at the second day of Hauptmann's trial on charges of murdering the fac nous flyers baby, Colonel Lind- bergh declared confidently that the prisoners voice was that of the man he heard call out Hey doctor, over here," when the ran- som money was paid in Q Bronx cemetery.
 Then, turned over to Haupt. manns' counsel for ss-examfna- ton, he vigorously combitted Eug- gestions that members of his own household could have been inc volved in the kidnap plot; that gangsters had stolen the baby; that supposed "enemies" in the aviation field were responsible and finally that Dr Condon himself was not above suspicion.
 Attack on Dr Condon
 The attack by Edward J. Reilly chief defense counsel, on the grcy@ haired, vigorous Dr Condon came as Q climax to the defense strategy of attempting to remove suspicion from Hauptmann.
 The prisoner, his arms folded. sat like a man of stone while Lind~ bergh identified his voice and while Reilly swung into the most important phase of his exaInina- ton of the fiier. Once--as Lind. bergh said Tt was Hauptmann'e voice"-the eyes of the witness and the prisoner met for an sn- stant, both cold and unblinking. Reilly brought out in his cues- tioning that Lindbergh had nOE known Dr Condon prior to the kid~ Iaping, that the educator was one of few persons who knew that the ransom money was ready: that he received . ransom demand for immediate payment without any one else seeing the messenger; ana then asked:-- Master Mind Tinted "Did 1t ever strike you that the Master Mind" might insert an ad in the newspapers and then an- swer 1t himself?"
 "It is inconceivable," Ltndbergh replied with the same Conviction with which he had dismissed Reil- ly's earlier questions including an indirect attack on the work of the New Jersey. State police and a suggestion that Lindbergh had lAHulCdPpCu thC ,aSbANAty VA SsshttN% States Government agents In the case. The witness met most of Reiliy's questions calmly, speaking with confidence and willingness even when Reilly asked him if he was carrying a pistol. But on several occasions, Lindbergh's voice rose sharply and he replied with unuh~ ual firmness to inferential attacks on members of his household. Again, the flyer smiled slightly as he replied and twice the aud- fence applauded his answers, draw ing sharp rebukes from the pre- siding justice.
 Charles l.. Williamson, Hopewell policeman, and one of the first officials to reach the Lindbergh home after the Kidnapping, was call- ed when Lindbergh was excused. Wilentz decided after recess not to submit the flyer to redirect ex- animation.
 Cross exa imitation of Col Lind- bergh was resumed after the luncheon recess.
