Case May Not Go
To Jurors Until
Early Wednesday
Some Of the women jurors gazed at II
and swallowed.
Hauptmann Remains Quiet
Hauptmann listened with tight lips
He was under admonition from the
court to make no outcry.
The attorney general emphasized
the cruelty OF the futile searches Col.
onel Lindbergh was forced to make
for his baby, which then lay dead
and llnnoticed In . shallow grave. He
said Of Hauptmann:
why, he would cut your throat
honestly, with razor and think
nothing Of it and go upstairs and eat
That's how cold-blooded this murder
er IS"
He pointed to Hauptmann's habit
Of placing the dollar sign 90 after
an amount, instead Of before, and
held up one Of Hauptmann's own
documents to show that in this wise
1t compared with the ransom notes.
Defends DR.. Condor
He defended the aged DR.. Condor
from the defense insinuations.
AS to Isador Fisch, Hauptmann's
alibi for the money found In his gar
age and the target Of the defense
who charged he, not Hauptmann
was the receiver Of the ransom, WI
lentz said the defense didn't prove
anything except that Tsch was q
poor man, that he never owned an
automobile. had the cheapest room,
that Fisch gave Hauptmann every
thing he had before he left and that
Hauptmann supplied him with money
for the trip Ito Germany where Fisch
died Of tuberculosis"
This murder Of the Lindbergh
child" cried Attorney General David
T. Wilentz, would shrink into alb.
solute insignificance in comparison ia
the crime that would be committed II
this man were freed. That would be
the crime Of the century.
ITO let him roam the streets Of this
country and make every woman In her
home shudder again, that would be q
real tragedy, an American tragedy"
Condon's Testimony Enough
The attorney general characterized
the Bronx carpenter, who Is accused
Of kidnapping and numbering baby
Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr.. an animal
lower than the lowest form In the
animal kingdom"
He contended the testimony Of DR..
John F. (Jafsie) Condor, ransom in
termediary who said he paid Haupt-
man the money. was enough In itself
to convict Hauptmann Of first degree
murder.
"why. II that was the only thing
the state had" he said, III We didn't
have another thing, except this man
Condor saying there Is the fellow
gave the money to- that would be all
we would need to convict him Of
murder in the first degree"
He also answered the charge Of Ed
ward J. Reilly, who said the state was
trying to make Hauptmann out az
both q master mind and q fool, by
saying the accused man was an ego
maniac. Only Hauptmann's egotism,
the attorney general argued, would
cause him to think he could talk to
Condor without . mask.
Defends Parents Testimony
The prosecutor defended vigorously
lindbergh's Identification Of Haupt-
mann's voice In the cemetery rendez-
vous.
"Lindy. whose ears were trained ia
the hum and whirr Of every littls
wheel in that motor that went across
the ocean, Lindy whose very life has
been built up by that keen intellect
and keen training and keen mind and
keen hearing, Lindbergh with that
keen hearing when he was out In that
plot, the greatest moment In his life,
he could almost touch him; then that
voice comes out hey dok-tor, hey
dok-tor.' God! Gould you ever forget
It.! Would anybody ever forget It?
"Why. II that man said one word In
this room above whisper wouldn't
have to look around, I could tell you
It was Hauptmann. There Is . differ
ent quality. There is something
weird about 1t. Why, that voice!
God! I can't sleep nights after I hear
/: myself"
Not Finished ct Recess
The attorney general had not fin
ished his summation when court re-
cessed for luncheon Of 1880 p. m.
If you get the feeling that this
case is what Mr.. edward j. Reilly
says, . perfect case, It Is your solemn
duty to find . verdict Of murder ID
the first degree"
'There may be some questions you
can't answer" He gestured toward
Hauptmann. "But there sits q mar
who can answer them. He will b(
thawed out, he Is cold, yes, he will b(
thawed out when he hears that switch
that's the time he viii talk"
At WilentS's request the court ad.
monished Hauptmann and his wife Il
make no outcry at anything he said
WilentS swept his hand toward
Hauptmann defense staff.
There Is nobody at that table who
doesn't feel he Is guilty. don't cart
what you say"
Guilty II Only Participant
He denied Reilly's contention thai
the state had to prove Hauptuaanr
was alone in the crime.
HE could have had 50 help him
II he participated In this murdel
that's oil you've got to deal with*s
Wilents asked himself what type O
