The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-01-19

tho last two of the states witnesses at yesterdays sossicn--the first it has received during the two weeks the state has presented one damn ing clrcumstance after another.
 Edward C.. Mulligan, Wall street customers man, who had dealt with Hauptmann since 1880, admit- ted under cross examination that he mad seen Hauptmann with 1si- dor. Fisch, dead German furrier, five Of six times"
 Figcli, however, never had an ac- count with his firm, while HAupt- mann did, and Fisch never gave him any money, Mulligan testified.
 Hauptmann said after his arrest that he received some e14,0O0 in raFibof1 money found in his posses sion from Ftsch and the defense will attempt to show that Fisch, not Hauptmann, was the kidnaper.
 Hauptmann Deposits
 Herman Rtedrich, teller at the city. testified Mrs Hauptmann had an account of several thousand dollars in 1929, three years before the kidnaping. He said this under ross-examination In direct exam. ination, he said Hauptmanrf's ace count showed indications of sudden affiuence soon after the ransom was paid in April, 1882.
 Hauptmann, he testified, often made deposits with quantities of silver = once el80 in nickels dimes and quarters. The state charged thus by inference that Hauptmann then was passing Lindbergh ransom bills by pur- chasing small items, such as cigar. cites, receiving silver in change.
 State Feels Confident
 Attorney General David T. Wi- lentz and his staff will do little wok over the weekend, feeling that they could wrest the states case at any time and obtain a murder conviction. The last of the states witnesses will number some 70, many friends of the Haupt4 manns' will tell of his aff1uence immediately after the ransom was paid. Some technical witnesses re- main who will, 1t was said, offer proof that Hauptmann made the ladder the kidnaper used to steal the baby.
 When these witnesses are heard, the state will rest. Then c. Lloyd Fisher, "home-town" boy who de- tended the hoaxer, John Hughes Curtis, will make the opening de- fense presentation to the jury. Fisher has been in disagreement with Reilly more often than the other defense attorneys: This as. signment was believed Reil1y's peace offering to his associates.
 Hauptmann First Witness
 EIn vNt c VHt1 xut1I hh fhM Hv,af ts5ft. ness in his own defense. His law yers already have revealed that they will ask him seven questions as soon as he Is sworn in.
 The first six will deal with whether he was in New Jersey on the night of the Kidnapping and whether he climbed the ladder and abducted the baby. The seventh question will be:
 Where did you get the ransom money found in your home and garage?"
 And Hauptmann will reply:
 T got 1t from IMdor F'iech."
 Bisch is dead, but his brother and sister are in Trenton, waiting to so to defend the reputation of their kin.
 Mrs Hauptmann Second
 Mrs Hauptmafin will be the sec 0nd witness.
 Defense lawyers admitted today that there was disagreement over the strategy they will use in their attempt to save Hauptmann from the electric chair. Reilly appar- ently wants to stake everything on a final oratorical plea to the jury. Fisher and his local associates prefer to build up a slow, palms. taking case, filling in chink by chink, the aiibis for their client.
 How tho Case Stands
 As the case stood today, the prosecution has linked Haupt- mann to the Kidnapping and mur- der in g number of ways. The most important are:
