HUN ERDON COUNTy
COURT HOUSE, BENNINGTON,
N. j., Feb. IL. (UP).-The voice
of "Big Ed" Reilly-no longer a
heavy ,listless lawyer, but bril-
liant advocate in the midst of the
legal battle of his life-dinneG
into the ears of a jury yesterday
a powerful plea that Bruno Rich
rad Hauptmann is innocent.
There have been moments in
this trial when the defense fun
bled and faltered; when squabbles
Slapped their strength; and when
Hauptmann himself shook his
head in despair, over the division
in his own ranks.
Reilly wiped it all away yester-
day with what certainly will go
down as one of the great legal
pleas of our time.
He came into this rural court
room more than month ago with
the reputatio nof being New
York's shrewdest homicide lawyer
with 1000 acquittals to his cred
it. But not until Monday-when
the case went racing toward
verdict-did Reilly begin to live
up to his reputation.
He talked from mid-morning
until dusk. Talked without once
consulting notes, documents or
the transcript of testimony. Never
once did he depart from the
straight line he had set for NM
self and never once did ne grope
for a word or a fact. His BRAIN
spinning like a dynamo, went
through the one million words OF
testimony spoken here, and TOOK
from them everything that could
be construed in Hauptmann's de-

Wilentz, demanding Bruno Rich

clared that the characters of the
witnesses with whom he had linked
Hauptmann to the trial rose one

were pointed out as ideal Ameri-

He demanded that the jury must
not be weak, and that it must

WASHINGTON, Feb. ~. (UP)
Hammering persistently through
the reluctance of a munitions wit
ness, Senator Arthur Vandenburg,

George B. Yard. Jr., the admission
that the "big three" of the ship
building world invariably consult

bids on navy construction.
After Senator Bennett Champ

that the navy department wanted
private shipbuilders TO "get to-

Nye, R., N. D., charged it made
the navy "a party to the collu-
sion." To this another witness.
William M. Flock, refused to
agree.
The big three of shipbuilding
are the New York Ship, Bethle-
hem, and Newport News Ship

eight years was assistant to Gin
