day when it resumes its chronological

Betty Cow Is Next.
Miss Cow was listed as the first
witness the State will call when Su-
preme Court Justice Thomas W.
Trenchard reconvenes court for the
second week of the trial. Once be-
fore she was called. but so shaken was
she by Anne Lindbergh's own story
of her last day with her baby that
she was spared temporarily.
The Hopewell police chief, Harry
Wolf, who arrived at the Lindbergh
Sourland Mountain estate soon after
the kidnapping was discovered, probably
will follow her. The first State trooper
to reach the estate after the kidnap
alarm, Corp Harry Wolfe, has also
been ordered to be in court to tell
his story.
There are indications. too. that the
Monday session may bring out def
nitely whether any fngerprints were
found in the Lindbergh nursery after
the kidnapping. or whether the ransom
notes carried any tell-tale marks.
Despite official denials that finger
prints were found, reports to the con-
trary have persisted.
Corp. Frank A. Kelly, the State
police fingerprint expert, is the man
who examined the nursery and the
ransom notes for flngerprints, and the
States hopes to reach him some time
Monday, unless the defense examina-
ton of Betty Cow is too long.
Jafsie to Go on Stand.
Inspector Harry Walsh. Jersey City
detective who worked on the Ndnap-
ing investigation is the fourth police
officer on the tentative witness list.
Prosecution sources limited strongly
that DR.. Condor. enigma of the case.
will take the witness stand some time
early in the week.
Jafsie will tell the Hauptmann jury,
it was understood, not only the bizarre
narrative of his contacts with the kid
naper, but also identify Hauptmann
as the mysterious John" he met on
his nocturnal rendezvous.
The defense case, as sketched in
cross examinations of State wit
nesses so far. is apparently that Miss
Cow, DR.. Condor, Ollie Whately,
Henry C"Red'D Johnson, friend of
Miss Cow, and Violet Sharpe, the
maid at Next Day Hill, the Morrow
estate in Englewood-all or any Of
them-might have had a part in the
kidnapping.
Reilly tried repeatedly to thrust this
theory forcefully before the jury in
his penetrating cross-examination OF
Lindbergh.
Faith in Servants.
The colonel turned aside all Reilly's
questions with replies that he had
implicit faith in the servants and in
DR.. Condor, and expressed his disbe-
lief that some one within the house
stole the baby.
Mrs. Whately also proved a witness,
the State thought, who gave no testi-
mony to bolster Reilly's hypothesis OF
the crime.
She made an indignant denial of
defense insinuation that her husband
had been attentive to violet Sharpe
and was equally determined in her
mo" to Reilly's charge that her hus-
band had become acquainted with DR..
Condor in New Rochelle years before
the kidnapping.
Reilly's attempt to develop his case
was oyershadowed by Lindbergh's
confident Identification of Haupt-
mans voice as that of the John" to
whom "Jafsie" paid the $50,000 ran
som in Bronx cemetery April 2.
Reilly never challenged it.
Lindberg followed up this important
evidence by asserting bluntly he was
satisfied that the German ex-convict
was the man who kidnapped his first
born son.
Believes Bruno Guilty.
Reilly asked him if he believed
Hauptmann was guilty of the kid
naping.
Il do," the aviator responded.
The flying colonel was equally
straightforward in reafirming his
faith in DR.. Condor when Reilly
pressed him with queries on the un-
usual aspect of the elderly educators
interest and activities in the case.
I'VE realized" Lindbergh said pa.
tiently, that after this circumstance
had originally happened, the sequence
of events would probably be peculiar,
not according to the ordinary logic
Of life"
BY this circumstance" the colonel
apparently meant the designation Of
Condor as the ransom intermediary
by the kidnaper.
Lindbergh was the star witness of
the day. He spent three and half
hours on the stand-two and o half
hours of it under Reilly's searching
cross-examination. He, Mrs. Whately,
and Charles Williamson, deputy chief
of the Hopewell police, were the only
witnesses of the day.
Both prosecution and defense ex-
pressed their satisfaction with the
trial developments when the day end
ed. but the prosecution appeared ap-
