Remington, ". l., Jan 14-(UF) --Whilo New Jersey today contin. ued presentation of circumstantial evidence tending to show Bruno Richard Hauptmann Kidnapped and murdered the Lindbergh baby, states attorneys assembled Q score or more witnesses who will, they believe, completely shatter Haupt- 1nann's defense.
 The state believes IIauptmann will try to prove that Isidor Fisch' dead German furrier, wrote the ransom notes, and gave him the ransom money found in his pos- session at the time of his arrest. It also was known that Hauptmann would attempt to prove he was no where near Hopewell and the home of the Lindberghs March ], 1932, the night the baby was stolen.
 To Disprove All AIibis
 New Jersey, 1t was said authort- tauveIy, is prepared to disprove beyond question all these alibis. Friends of both Hauptmann and Eisch will testify that Hauptmann met Fisch the first time months af- ter the Kidnapping. Others witnesses will testify that Hauptmann was spending Lindbergh money months after Fisch returned to Germany and months before he says he found the money in a package F'isch had left with him.
 Hauptmann's trial was resumed today with Albert s. Osborn, high est paid hand writing expert in the world, on the stand. He was pre- pared to continue his analysis of the handwriting of Hauptmann 4R proves, he contends, that the for mer German machine gunner was their author. He will be followed by six of his assistants, including his son, and by several other widely recognized experts. The state, 1t was said, would place particular emphasis upon this expert testi- InOny to counteract the testimony of defense experts who will say Hauptmann was not the author. and may say that the author was Fisch.
 Fisch Relatives Arriving
 Arriving in New York on the He de France tomorrow are Pinkus and Hannah Fisch. brother and sister of the deceased furrier. They will testify that Fisch died penni- less. bequeathing. not Lindbergh money, but lengthy list of debts. Two other witnesses arc in the European party chaperonsd by New York City Detective Albert Johnson, but the state guarded their identity. One was believed to be German hospital nurse who attended Fisch on his death bed. Z All were intended to be "surprise' witnesses, but the United Press re- ported their departure from Le Havre, France, last week.
 Nauptmann returned to court from a restless weekend in his cell, He was said to be increasingly nervous with revelation, step by step, of New Jerseys case against him, which was reported much stronger than anticipated by de- feIidant or his counsel. Edward J. Reilly. chief of defense, returned to Bennington late last night after d furious Saturday and Sunday de- voted to a rapid fortification of his case in light of testimony presented to date.
 In World Spotlight
 As the third week of the trial opened, this country town enjoying it's first appearance in the world spotlight, was enlivened by a number of street rumors. One said the state had offered to give Ifauptmann life imprisonment If he would confess and name his accompilces. This gave officials a he9rty laugh.
 The testimony of handwriting ex- perts continuing today was expect ed to last until Wednesday, per haps until Thursday. They will be A<l tx,f rtt, nrt tfNA A a q who will say they can trace the "kidnap ladder" from Hauptmann's workshop in the Bronx to the nursery window of the Lindbergh home.
 Arthur Koehler, Of the United States department of agriculture, who for 30 months used micro scopes, test tubes, and other labor atory equipment to discover the source of lumber used in the ladder will be one of the states most spectacular witnesses.
 Koehier already has been on the witness stand to testify to having had possession of the ladder. His spectacular testimony. which will read like a Scotland Yard mystery story, has been reserved for his second appearance.
 hOtIIeK dUIOus < Koehler, recognized as the finest expert on woods in the United States. has taken the kidnap ladder apart. He decided, by microscopic examinations of wood flores. that its material originated in a forest on the far-west coast-and that the lumber was hewn, sawed and sold only by one concern.
 He will show through the lum- Der company's records. that the wood was shipped east in not more than two lots. One shipment went to the south. The other went to the great National Mill Work & Lumber company of the Bronx.
 For many months just before the Kidnapping, Bruno Richard Hauptmann was dependent upon odd pieces of wood he used in his the Great National company for carpentry work.
 The prosecution today still con cealed its findings regarding Hans Rloppenburg. a friend of Haupt- mann who "because Richard told me something was on his con science" thereafter summed his company.
 It was also evasive about reply ing to questions concerning a chic ken ranch within 100 meters of the Lindbergh farm" which was owned by one of the little group oi friends in which Hauptmann was 8 shining figure.
