PENNINGTON. N. j.. January S.
The fuse leading to the bomb of
promised sensations in the Hauptmann
trial sputtered with new life tonight.
The explosion, according to Haupt-
mann's counsel, will occur next Thurs
day.
The announcement of Edward j.
Reilly, chief defense counsel for Bruno
Richard Hauptmann, that he would
name four persons then as the actual
kidnapers" of the baby Lindbergh,
evoked from Prosecutor Anthony M
Hauck, jr., a challenge to name the
persons Immediately.
Reilly. in New York for the week
end recess of the Hauptmann trial on
a charge of numbering Charles Angus
tus Lindbergh. jr.. announced he would
disclose the names of the four per-
sons, probably on Thursday.
Silent on Betty Cow.
Hauptmann, he said, was not one of
them. He would not comment when
asked directly if Betty Cow, the
baby's nurse, was one of the four he
intended to name.
IF Mr.. Reilly knows any other per-
sons connected with this case, as
member of the bar and as an officer
of the court. he should disclose their
identity to the prosecution authorities
of Hunterdon County Immediately"
Hauck said.
Hauck stated further that if Reilly
can produce the persons he believes
are actually the kidnapers. ne can
not understand why the defense at
torney desires to wait until the
prosecution advances its case further.
He added he was glad to hear that
the defense intends to put Hauptmann
on the witness stand, and indicated
cross oss-examination of the German
carpenter would be thorough.
Condor to be Called.
DR.. John F.. Condor. the Bronx
pedagog who offered to negotiate with
the kidnaper and whose aid was en-
listed by Lindbergh. probably will take
the witness stand Tuesday to tell of his
connection with the $4,000 ransom
money, Attorney General David T.
Wilentz said.
Condor, a retired school teacher
who advertised his notes to the kid
naper under the name of "JafSie,"
will go to Trenton Sunday night for
conference with prosecution counsel,
Wilentz said.
The State will produce early wom-
an witness, friend of the Hauptmann
family who will testify. prosecutors
said, that she examined the S400 radio
that Hauptmann bought in May, 1882,
shortly after the kidnapping. The
radio also will be brought into court.
Testimony on Radio.
The woman will testify, it was said,
that she and Mrs. Anna Hauptmann
found a large roll of bills when they
opened the radio
When she turned to Mrs. Haupt-
mann in surprise for an explanation,
she was told:
Just some money my husband
made in the stock market and put
there for safe-keeping. He thinks
it's safer than banks"
State authorities have been investi-
eating reports that three defense
handwriting experts have been pre-
pairing notes in handwriting similar
to Hauptmanns in an effort to show
it is easily duplicated, it was learned.
The State believes the defense will
try to prove that gang kidnapped
the child and then tried to make
Hauptmann the scrapegoat of the
crime. State police had shadowed
the handwriting experts.
Reilly Outlines Plan.

day until Monday, Reilly called press
conference at his Brooklyn, N. Y,
Offices today and announced:

four persons, and I shall charge them
