Remington, N. j., Jan. 15-A third
state expert, identifying Bruno Rich
hard Hauptmann's handwriting rs
that Of the II Lindbergh ransom
notes, Tuesday declared Hauptmann
failed in an affort to disguise his
hand in either the notes or In speci-
mems which had been dictated to him
by police.
The witness was John r. Tyrrell of
Milwaukee, Wis.
Adding his opinion to that already
given by two other experts, Albert s.
Osborn, Jr., and Ebridge w. Stein,
he said he found that sections of
Hauptmann's dictated writings were
pictorially dissimilar to other SEC
ttons and added:
There is pictorially a greater diff
ference between specimens Of these
dictated writings than there Is be-
tween the ransom writings ana some
OF the dictated writings"
Disguise Tripped writef
Earlier in his testimony he told the
court, where Hauptmann Is on trial
tor his life as the accused kidnaper
and murderer Of Baby Charles A.
Lndbergh, Jr.. that In disguised writ
ing lone cannot always duplicate his
own figures
He intimated Hauptmann tripped
himself by attempting to maintain q
disguised hand throughout the many
Many characteristics of the notes
and of the specimens were detailed by
Tyrrell in long recital In which he
explained his reasons for concluding
that Hauptmann wrote every one of
the ransom notes.
The recital appeared TO bore the
defendant and many in the court, but
not the bereaved father, Colonel
Lndbergh. The latter was alert, lis
tening intently to every detail.
The state wound up its direct exam
ination Of Tyrreu with Assistant At
torney General Joseph A. Lanigan
asking:
Can you say positively who wrote
the ransom notes?"
II think So" Tyrrell replied.
Then state it,"
Accuses Hauptm2nn
THE writer is identical. II Bruno
Richard Hauptmann wrote the Haupt-
mann writings. he also wrote the ran
som notes."
The defense again brought the dead
Isador Fisch inferentially into the
murder trial with questions pointed
toward the possible thesis that
Hauptmann's handwriting was forged
to the IL Lindbergh ransom notes.
Frederick A. Pope Of Hauptmann,s
defense staff asked Ty1rell II there
Is nothing that you could discover as
q handwriting expert that would tell
you that the author Of the ransom
note probably copied It from another
writing?"
Falls to Shake Expert
Tyrrell replied:
mo, there are too many OF those
little intimacies in this writing that
are reflected in the ransom notes
that the forger wouldn't think Of"
Il am not speaking Of forgery.
SIR
"Imitator?"
Nor Of imitators; I am merely
talking Of copying from . sample"
Later Pope asked:
An educated man desiring to dis
guise or camouflage his handwriting
would use words that would hardly
be attributed to an educated man
sometimes, wouldn't he?"
Tyrrell replied that in such cases
they overlook something else that
Is far more significant"
