 never m ew he had 1t until a month before his arrest.
 His coolness under fire was re- markable. Although he came close to the breaking point on more than one occasion, and charged the attorney general with lying to him, he never lost the natural cunning that enabled him to escape the traps that were being set for him.
 Fisch Correspondence
 Hauptmann today spread corre- spondence from lsidor F'isch on the court record to support the story he has told of his strange fi- nanclal arrangements with the late fur cutter.
 He tried to make good the chal. lenge he uttered yesterday, when he accused the police of hiding his correspondence, and shouted that letters from FIsch would prove his previous testimony.
 The first communication, an in. nocuous card speaking of q Christmas party" was read to the jury by the prisoner, in his high, metallic voice. It had nothing to do with the involved financial transactions in which Hauptmann aserts, he and his friend engaged.
 Objection by the state to intro- duction of the letters, on the grounds that they were hearsay evidence, was compromised by Justice Thomas W. Trenchard, who agreed that Hauptmann might testify to such parts of the com- munications as referred to their joint transactions on the IS t o c k market or in their fur deals.
 Hauptmann then declared that Fisch had many times" written about the furs he had in storage and had frequently mentioned the stock deals.
 At that point, he demonstrated his spelling of the word boat as written in one communication.
 How do you spell 'Boat'?" he was asked.
 Boat" he shouted.
 The question was directed to show Hauptmann would not have writ ten the word "B-o-a-d" in the ram som notes.
 At the outset of the session, Hauptmann defended his honor as a husband. denying the states in- situation that there was anything improper in his friendship for Mrs Gerta Henkel, a friend of the family and q possible witness for him, with whom he frequently had coffee in the morning after taking his wife to work at Frederiksen'a 'a bakery.
 "No," he shouted, in reply to Reilly's question as to whether there was lever anything improp- CT in your relationship with Mrs Henkel."
 Mrs Hauptmann watching the prisoner steadily. flushed and smil- ed.
 His Story of Tools Hauptmann today declared that 1928 was the last time he had used the carpenters plane with which the government declared he fash
 The Bronx German declared he used two other planes, which were not found by the police, in his tool box, when they removed 1t from his garage in the Bronx.
 q don't know where those planes are," he said. "I can't re- member when I saw them last"
 The state had previously pre-. scented evidence to show that im- perfections in Hauptmann's plane caused unmistakable ridges in the kidnap ladder.
 The prisoner stepped from the witness stand and rummaged through his tool chest, one of the states exhibits, hunting for his chisels.
 "There are three standard chis- els missing" he declared.
 That was his answer to the gov- ernment's charge that out of his tools there was one chisel missing "a three-quarter inch chisel sim- liar to the ono picked up on the Lindbergh grounds the morning after the Kidnapping.
 It was also m accusation against the Government--that 1t had hid den some of the tools, for it's own prosecution purposes.
 The prisoner was then turned over to Attorney General David T.. Wilentz for re-cross examination.
 JUROR VERY ILL Remington, N. J., Jan 30. (UP) The condition of Liscom Case, Juror No. II in the Hauptmann murder trial. gave court officials concern to-day. Case Is suffering rom heart trouble, ana yesteroay had to be assisted up the long flight of stairs to the court room, by a constable.
