Comment on the testimony OF
Bruno Hauptmann in the Lind
bergh case came reluctantly from
police, prosecutors, criminologists
and Identification experts today,
as The Washington Times sought
local opinions on the subject.
Some of those interrogated felt
they were too close to the case to
comment. Others pleaded that
they had not followed it closely
enough. Police officials generally
pursued their customary policy Of
silence.
It was nevertheless evident that
the case has been followed in
official circles here more closely
than any other criminal proSecu-
ton in many years. The DEPART
ment Of Justice and the Bureau
Of Standards particularly have
been actively identified with it
the former department from the
beginning, in running down clues
in the Staying of the Lindbergh
baby, and the Bureau of S and.
alds more recently in connection
with the Identification of various
articles introduced in evidence at
the trial.
Parents Popular
Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh are
