Gee Whiz
Southern Writing Expert
Brings Laughter to
Bruno's Trial.

BIZ United Press
ELEMINGTON, N. j., Jan. 49,
l. Wisecracks in the lazy South
ern draw of Harry Cassidy, Vir-
ginia handwriting expert, sent the
courtroom into howls of laughter
today.
The prosecution placed him on
the witness stand to swear that
Bruno Richard Hauptmann wrote
the ransom notes. He said he had
testified in several Federal Court
cases down South.
What Federal district was
that?" he was asked.
L don't remember the num-
her," the witness replied. 1T was
the district we're the read-headed
judge presides."
Have you brought any charts
of exhibits with you?"
Yes, 1 have" Mr.. Cassidy re-
piled. But there amt no use
getting them out. I'd just be say
ing the same things theSe orher
experts said. I've been sitting
around court here Tor a couple of
days and these other experts
have shot my testimony full of
holes"
Under cross emination the
~ Dixie expert was asked what
conclusion he reached from the
fact, that in the ransom notes the
word mot" was spelled mote"
sometimes and mot" other times.
"Oh, that's nothing, Cassidy
said, Il spell words three or four
ways myself sometimes. I always
look up the big words in the die
tionary and take a chance on the
little ones"
What would hazardous be-a
little one or a big one?"
"Oh, gee whiz! Hazardous is a
big one. On that one 1 would get
a dictionary and turn to the
HIS Then 1 would go right down
the line until I found out whether
it was spelled has or 'h-a-z. q"
Justice Thomas w. Trenchard
and the opposing counsel Joined in
the laughter.
MIR. CASSIDY was plainly de-
1VI sirous of saving as much
time as possible. He suggested that
much of his testimony would be
repetitious. The state attempted to
excuse him by the provision that
his charts would be accepted for
consideration by the jury. The
defense would have none of it.
Mr.. Cassidy leaned toward the
jury.
Il want to be conservative, but
1 don't want to be mealy-mouthed
I would say that even if all these
notes we're written on the type
writer, I would say they were the
work of one person.
y don't think that it's necessary
to take up time to count all these
comparisons. Imay say, however,
regarding this writer that he
seems to be a conscientious OBJ
jector to crossing his rs Many
persons occasionally forget to cross
their U.s. but he hardly ever
does"
T LLOYD FISHER, defense coun-
IL sci. questioned the witness on
the best time to take request writ
ings from suspect
When you've got a suspect" he
replied.
Gin yotlr opinion would it be
difficult for person who had
Hauptmann's writing to copy his
writing? Aft he had little of
the Hauptmann writing he might
write one letter, but ii letters.

next to impossible.

ent when washington crossed the

idea that he got there.

ALEX MORRISON SAYS:

ALEX MORRISON says:
It's easy enough to see how
dropping the head forward or
throwing il back will put you of
balance. By dropping il forward
YOU throw your weight toward
your toes. BY drawing it back
you throw your weight toward
your heels.
Likewise, fitting your head
toward either side tends 10 keep
most Of your weight on the side
toward which your head is tilted.
Since the weight should shift
smoothly from one foot to the
other without interruption, the
head must remain on an even keel
or in q vertical position.
AS / have often described Il,
the proper head position means
that the head must be kept from
turning, fitting toward either side
or raising or lowering during the
swing. This does not mean that
It must be kept perfectly still. It
should be free to move slightly
from side TO side.
