notes received by. Lindbergh. Jafsie and Col Breckinridge, pointing out what he called similarities between i the ransom note handwriting and that done by Hauptmann. Justice Trenchard interrupted the discourse to ask:

 "There are 11ve instances where the IT has been partially dropped from the writer's signature in the request writings. "The same incompleted IF ap- pears in the ransom notes, in many instances" Tyrrell said. | Please don't throw those away" | Frederick Pope of defense counsel said as an attendant rolled up sev- eral sheets torn from Tyrrelfs cas- "They're being faithfully pre- served for you, Mr Pope," the pros- ecution attorney replied. hTe witness said that both lower case and capital "J's" throughout the ransom notes and request writ ings were Strangely alike. Tyrrell demonstrated he could re- produce the handwriting in the ransom notes so closely with his crayon that it could hardly be dis tinguished from the original. Hauptmann folded his arms dur ing Tyrrell's lecture, but seemed in- terested in the intricate reasoning through which the witness was leading the jury. Tyrrelrs testimony corroborated that of Albert s. Osborn and El- bridge Stein, handwriting experts who already have sworn that Hauptmann wrote all the ransom notes.
 Tyrrell drew attention as did the Iother experts, to the mis-spellings in the writings, the "bee" for "be"; {; the mote" for mot" and other ex- amples.
 He then turned to the transposed letters that appeared in the writ

 night, among others. "In the automobile license, under violations, the defendant wrote Passing a red "hhgt"' instead of red light"
 Four persons seated in back of the prosecution table evinced the greatest interest. Colonel Lind bergh, Colonel H.

Tyrrell touched briefly upon the peculiar x of the Hauptmann writings and the ransom notes.-the 'X' made to resemble double .E." There is one other letter I'd like to bring attention to-that is the address on the package deliV- cred to John E. Condon. O.. Is that John D. or John F. Condon?
 hibit.
 Tyrrell called attention to the fact that the name was in both capital letters and lower case on the same line.
 Before he was turned over to cross- examination, however. LaDi- gan asked him brief series of

TyrreIl was turned over to the defense for cross-examination ard five minute recess was ordered by Justice Trenchard. Frederick A. Pope of defense counsel cross-examined Tyrvell. Q. There is no school that teaches handwriting. is there?
