Note Is Similar

Mr.. Wilentz let the matter drop
before doing so, read a phrase
from one of the ransom notes
which said:
This kidnapping was planned
for a year already"
Then the Attorney General
read a question and answer from
Hauptmann's morning testimony
you were planning q trip to
Germany. weren't yOu?"
Hauptmann'S answer was:
"That was planned for year
already"
Mr.. Wilentz quoted Hauptmann
as having said to the police when
he was questioned about going to
the Federal Reserve Bank with
money:
81 was afraid they would
hook me up"
Hauptmann said the police
asked him so many questions he
could not remember having said
that.
Q.-What were you afraid OF
being hooked up to? Al don't
remember saying that.
Q.-You made a mistake when
you first told them you didn't
know where a Federal Reserve
Bank was and then you corrected

VIE Attentive

Mrs. Anna Hauptmann watched
her husband closely as he was
teSt1fylng. She seemed to be
trying to catch his eye as if to
encourage him.
Possibly in anticipation OF
being called as witness today
the wife appeared in court with
her blonde hair tightly marcelled
and curled, under a small black
telt hat. She wore the same black
crepe dress as of yesterday and
black shoes. There was a small
nose veil over her eyes.

end of the month-on March 81,

Shifts to Ransom

Mr.. Wilentz questioned him
about the $14,600 ransom money
found on the Hauptman premises
and asked him:
"Why did you hide the money
In the garage?"
Hauptmann replied blandly:
81 had to hide it some place"
When court reconvened after a
recess, Mr.. Wilentz asked Haupt
mann how much money he had in
May, 1882. Hauptmann did not
remember. He said:
I'm May 1 took out 81, 500 and
put it in furs."
Q.-Then that left you with
$1,000 to 81 500 on June 1, 1882?
A.-Yes.
Q.-And in May you had $2,50O
in that trunk? A.-Yes.
Q.-And few minutes ago you
spoke of your planned trip to
Europe. You said: That is plan
ned for a year already" That's
your method of speech? A.-What

than a year?" A.-That'S how
you would say.

Mr.. Wilentz began quizzing
Hauptmann on his expenditures
On May 1882, you bought a

"The rent money maybe"
Q.-I mean did you ever keep
packages of money there? A.-No
I never had packages.
Q.-Didn't you get $500 from
Isador FiSch in July, 1898? A
Yes, for the brokerage account.
Q.-Isn't it fact that, particu-
larly after April 2, 1882, you
opened the victrola in the pres
ence of Fritz Hahn. the restau-
rant owner, and there were two

ture out glibly, as though lecturing

sort of questioning.
Mr.. Wilentz brought out that
practically all the slips were on the
Mount Vernon Trust Company
Suddenly Mr.. Wilentz said:
Nov. here's one for $40 in
silver deposited on April 16,
1882"
Hauptmann replied:
my wife was a little disguised

was in the habit of taking money
for expenses from his brokerage
account. Hauptmann replied:
Eyes, or my bank account"
Q.-When you needed it for
household expenses, you went to
this gold and took out two or
three at time? A.-Four or five
at a time.

gold? You took them out only
for living expenses? A.-This
money was lying there and was
handy.
The Washington times., 1935-01-29
Took Florida Trip

Hauptmann was asked If he
bought a canoe after April 2,
1882, and he answered yes. He
admitted he had taken a hunting
trip. He was asked if he went
to Florida, and he said he did.
Q.-And your wife went to Ger
many? A.-Yes.
Q.-During that time neither
you or your wife worked? Al
made money in the market.

Q.-So that from April, 1882,

carpenter, and your wife didn't

| Hauptmann said his wife was
not "disgusted" because he had
quit his job as a carpenter, nor
did she "holler at him" because
he quit.
He admitted that on the day
of his arrest he told the authori-
ties he had been circulating gold
certificates part of the ransom
money! for some time.
Q.-Why were you circulating

Al went down to the Central

Q,-Did you deposit it or ex,
change it. Al don't know
whether I exchanged it first
and deposited it after.
Q.-That was March, 1898? A.
When Mr.. Roosevelt called in
the gold.
Mr.. Wilentz was trying to
bring out that Hauptmann de.
posted large sums of silver coins
in his bank accounts after the
ransom payment.
He was attempting to draw
the inference that Hauptmann
cashed in the ransom bills on
small purchases and took the
change to his banks.
Mr.. Wilentz dwelt particularly
on a deposit slip Hautpmann
made out at the Mount Vernon
Trust Company in August, 1882,
He asked:
"Here you made a deposit
of S259.75 in silver, didn't
you?"

is possible.
