 Under cross examination, she said she had not seen Condon pre- viously since 1926. She could not remember the exact date of the railroad station scene, but declared 1t was som time in March of 1882.
 Three days after that incident, she said, she saw the man she identified as Hauptmann, walking along Fordham road. Hauptmann turned to 8 United Press correspondent and said:
 "I was never in that station. guessed the lady was looking for a movie contract" He smiled and guards escorted him to his cell, again with pinion- ed wrists.
