The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-01-28


 today in an attempt to stamp him
 Bruno Richard Hauptmann's face as the writer of the Lindbergh ran- som notes.
 One of them contained a rude
 drawing that might have been a
 ladder. It was is a gray-covered book that also contained Haupt-
 mann's accounts, some drawings done by neighbor's child and some card game scores.
 Hauptmann was unshaken by a
 morning of cross examination by
 Attorney General David T. Wilentz He admitted, however, that some of the misspellings in his own
 handwriting also occurred in the Lifidbergh ransom notes. Wiletnz forced the defendant to
 admit that he hid money from his wife and falsified his own account
 books so she would not know the true state of his finances. The book containing the draw ing that might have been a ladder
 was admitted in evidence. Afternoon Session "How are your nerves, Bruno," a
 correspondent asked while he was waiting to go back on the stand
 for the afternoon session.
 Were standing up,' he said, "as
 g. matter of fact you fellows are
 a lot more excited about it than
 am."
 IA moment later he remarked to Hovey Low, his deputy sheriff guard, "I'm innocent-why should
 I be excited?"
 Crowds of excited people damned
 the aisles and stood against the
 walls. The jury had difficult,
 in passing through to its box.
 There are a lot of Broadway
 women here to see you," a spec. tator said to Hauptmann. There are also a lot of news. paper people here," he retorted That's what attracts them." Reilly and Wilentz returned tc the court and stood at the defense table. The bailiffs were ordered to clear the aisles. Hauptmann expressed a wish to see his infant son, Mannfrjed, who
 came here from New York with Mrs Hauptmann yesterday. The prisoner said he could not under stand why his son was not brought to the jail Sunday. Twenty-three minutes after the regular time for converting, Jus tice Trenchrad entered, and the jury was boiled. Hauptmann resumed the stand at 2:09 p. m. Justice Trenchard announced
 that from this time forward, per sons will not be permitted to stand at the rear as they are doing"
