 other Testimony
 Hauptmann and his wife talked together for five minutes before court re-convened. Mrs Hnupt- mann looked somewhat sheepish and i'll at ease when she took het accustomed seat at the defense table.
 The kidnap ladder was brought into court once more, and placed against the wall. News of Mrs Hguptmann's outburst brought the largest crowd of the week to the trial room.
 At the resumption of the trial, wiIentz told the court the state proposed to present the banking and brokerage accounts of the defendant.
 "We have many witnesses in the courtroom and we will require q truck load of records" fe said.
 He said the defense had agreed to the introduction of photo- static copies of such evidence.
 This would eliminate all but two witnesses-those who would cer-' fify the accounts.
 'sIn view of that, the defense and the state ask that we have to- morrow off," Wilentz said, adding that two days testimony would be saved.
 Reilly then explained that If the original records were brought from New York, 1t would require two days recess to study them. He concurred in the recess.
 'I am inclined to grant this mo- ton proposed by both sides,' Jus tice Trenchard said.
 "I can assure the Jury that this procedure agreed upon will save time.
 "At this moment want to say another word to the jury. Last Saturday you enjoyed little relax atfon with a bus ride, and perhaps you'd like to go again over the same route.
 My suggestion is not to go un- lens it's q fair day-and If you do wear enough wraps and bundle up warm"
