bergh whose son was stolen.
Qufzzed on Fisch Deals
The questions were being shot GU,
with increasing speed-in much the
manner Of Monday when the Prose.
cutor wore Hauptmann down, excited
him and reused him to open anger
with queries piled one on the other
to lay background for a climatic
shout OF lilies! ies!" and to bring
from Hauptmann return Of stop
that!" and "you lied tool"
Wilentz plunged back Tuesday into
HauptmannS stock and fur business
dealings with the dead Isador Fisch.
Hauptmann claimed Fisch gave him
the ransom money which was found
in his garage after his arrest; also
that Fisch put up much of the cash
which q government accountant cred
tied to Hauptmann to show that his
and his wife,s assets increased more
than $4,000 after the $4,000 futile
Lindbergh ransom was paid.
The prosecutor made Hauptmann
admit that in 1882, after the ransom
was paid, he bought q 400 radio,
1925 pair Of field glasses, a canoe,
took q trip to Florida and sent his
wife on trip to Germany: also that
that his wife quit work.
Hauptmann explained: II was
working-f made enough money on
the market and on the fur. I did
work. In the market and as q car
penter."
No Particular Reason
But Wilentz brought out that he
earned only q total Of $500 as car
penter after the date Of the ransom,
which was April 1882.
Didn't she CHS wife) say to you,
Richard, why are you quitting your
Job. we have only got q few dollars
in the bank?'"
Il say she was not hollering at me
when I quit the job" Hauptmann
said.
Wilentz asked him why he put the
ransom bills, which Hauptmann had
said Fisch gave him, into circula-
ton; II 1t was because he needed the
money.
'There Is practically no particular
reason why I put 1t In circulation"
Hauptmann replied. II Just as well
put it In the box and leave 1t there.
I don't see really any particular
reason for put 1t in circulation"

Year Already in
Testimony Seized
Upon by Wilentz

for living expenses, and said that he
had intended to send the balance, less
$4,000 Fisch owed him, to Fisch's rela-
tives.
At Loss For Words
He admitted that after the time OF
ransom, which he denied collecting,
he took trip to Florida. his wife
quit her job and took a trip to Ger
many. and he purchased several ex-
pensive articles, such as a canoe. q
radio and pair Of field glasses.
Hauptmann appeared at a loss for
words when Wilentz brought up the
similarity Of his "year already" phrase
with the ransom note phrases.
How can say it otherwise?" asked
Hauptmann.
Wilentz said:
well. you can say, planned for
more than year. planned already
for year. planned a year ago."
How you would say" Hauptmann
retorted.
Edward ]. Reilly, chief defense coun-
sci, leaped to his feet and charged
that Wilentz was trying to leave an
unjust inference with the jury.
Important Rcbuttal Witness
The state indicated it has an Inn
portant rebuttal witness to say that
Bruno Richard Hauptmann was mys-
ferrous and evasive about money kept
In his home.
Hauptmann was made to answer
numerous prying questions about his
home and his habits, and especially
about . photograph in which Attor-
ney general David T. Wilentz limited
