 withdrew His Witness
 Reilly withdrew his witness af- ter making no headway on his promise and then called Special Agent John E. Seykora, of the di- wision of Investigation, through whom he tried to show that Dr John r. Condon had been exam. ined by alienisis, and that "a rec port on his mental condition Is on nie."
 Eeykora insisted he had no such repart and that the man known as "Jafeie" had not been examined by mnysmen in his department.
 Previously, Mrs Maria Muller ana Mrs Louise Wolienburg, ma trong in the Hauptmanns' little group in the Bronx, testified to be- ing present at gatherings on No- vember 26, 1883, at 6 time when the Bronx carpenter is accused of passing a ransom note in Green. a HF.fE EnH a fhGO said, was at home throughout the evening.
 Moment of Farce
 A moment of farce was injected into grim proceedings at Bruno Richard Hauptmann's trial today with the testimony of Philip Noses amateur comedian, taxi driver. Wal Street runner and Jack or many other trades.
 Testifying for the defense. Moses told about three men who hailed his taxicab near tho scene of the LinAbergh ransom payment.
 The witness told a vague story of three men who went into a huddle" at St Raymond's cemetery. and who then had him drive them through the region where the Lindbergh ransom was passed. He brought gusts of laughter to the court room under the smiling cross examination of Attorney General David T. WilentZ.
 He did his favorite impersona- fions of Will Rogers, told how he had "broadcast" from Remington over wires which he found later didn't exist, and admitted he had signed autograph books as "Thr Defense's star Witness'.
 Moses had said confidently be- fore he went on the stand that he would "break this case in two or three days.
 Are you an adagio dancer. too7" wilentz asked the witness.
 Moses mo dest disclaimer brought roars of laughter, and even Jus4ice Thomas ". Trenchard smiled.
 The second of the days witness ses, Mrs Maria Muller, q niece Of Mrs Anna Schieffler Hauptmann, was called to testify that she at- tended a party at the HauptmannS home on November 2G, 1883. the date Hauptmann is accused Of paesing ransom note In q Green svich Village theater.
 The state frustrated the defense attempts to show that Mrs Cecile Barr, cashier at the Loew Sheri- dan Square theater, who testified Hauptn,ann passed a ransom bill through her wicket, occasionally made mistakes in giving change.
 Joseph J. TarteIl. a defense witt ness, had been called to testify to these mistakes. Objections by the state that his testimony was irrel- evant were sustained by Justice Trehchard and the witness was withdrawn.
