@. You knew Fisch was dead when |
you found that money?
A. Yes.
@. After drying this money, what
did you do with 1t?
A. I took 1t down and put two or
three of them in circulation.
@. Were you down at the Sheridan
Square Theater November 26, 1888,
with a ransom bill. and did you toss
it in, folded in eight parts, to the
ticket seller, that young woman who
testified here the other day?
A. I have an idea about where the
theater is. In Greenwich Village.
@. And you live how many miles
away in the Bronx?
A. About 1915 miles.
@. Were you ever In that theater In
your life?
A. No, was not.
Hauptmann, answering the last
question before the recess, denied he
had tossed the bill to the ticket seller.
Recess for lunch came at 1928 pm.
Court convened at 1:42.
If anything, the tiny court room
was more crowded than ever for the
afternoon session.
This morning it seemed impossible
that any more people could squirm
their way into the tight-packed crush.
But for the afternoon session the i'm
possible was accomplished. The crowd
was compressed and condensed into
an unbelievably small-room space.
Dox,,.n.
With Guards at 1889.
Hauptmann returned to the court
room at 1889 with his guards.
Mrs. H. Norman Schwarzkopf sat
in one of the defense counsel seats
and he stared at her in surprise. His
face was expresSionless as he looked
about at the crowd showing about in
search of seats
The opening of court before the
time the justice had set for con-
vening found half the press benches
empty and the room in tumultuous
murmur of conversation.
Trenchard had to rap vigorously a
number of times to restore quiet. He
instructed attendants to escort" the
people making the noise Ito the
street"
He likewise ordered the court aisles
kept open.
Again and again the gavel raped
sharply to keep order as Hauptmann
went back quickly to the stand.
Reilly said he wanted to ask about
November 26, 1888, when Hauptmann
was alleged to have tossed "Lindy"
bill to a theater ticket taker
Hauptmann said the date was his
birthday and a party was held at his
home.
The defendant named several of
his Bronx friends who attended He
did not know the last names of one
or two.
Reilly presented Hauptmann a
thick sheaf of memoranda which
the pallid Hauptmann made last week
after studying records Of his finan-
cial transactions.
Hauptmann took them and coined
them with the studious intent OF a
schoolboy poring over multiplication
tables
Stock Transactions
For Schedule First.
Reilly was apparently going to de-
vote the first part of his questioning
to the young carpenters stock market
transactions
Mrs Hauptmann was looking en-
couragingly at her husband. Lind
bergh again fixed him with that un-
Wavering look and the jury sat back
to listen to what the defendant said.
@. Bruno will you tell us what
number your sheet starts from so We
can check here?
Have you August 8?
A. Yes. I got it in my hand.
@. Do you recall when you pur-
chased that Warner Brothers?
A. There we're 81 Of Warner Pic
lures three quarters of year ago.
@. Do you mean before August g.?
Hauptmann fumbled through the
| copies of his account for several min
utes without answering.
Reilly rephrased his question and
Hauptmann said it was while he was
carrying another account.
@. Now you traded in the market
back and forth, is that right?
A. Right

in Steiner Rouse. You sought his

| in my home at that time.
