The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-02-06

David T. Wilentz brought out the states theory that the kidnapeI wore gloves.
 A process which will bring oui finger pronts on wood, "manS years after they have been made. was not used by the police. But it was shown, the process was not perfected until long after the Lindbergh Kidnapping, and mean. while the ladder had been "proc. essed" for finger prints by the old fashioned method.
 In the interval between the find ing of the ladder on the Lindbergt estate, on the morning of March 2, 1892, until it was carefully pho, tographed on March 21, many hun. dred handse touched it, and the flngerprint results were inconclu- sive.
 The strange fact that no finger prints were found fin the nursery even of servants or members of the Lndbergh household, was also forcefully brought out.
 Admits Insanity
 James Streppone, who admitted an insanity record, today joined the gallery of characters coming to the aid of Hauptmann.
 A mysterious package, which the late Isidor Fisch appears to have carriedt all over the Bronx in 1883 re-entered the case through Strep. pone's testimony.
 The witness, who said he owned a radio repair shop, swore that Fisch left the package, about the size of shoe box, in his shop one afternoon in May, 1883.
 The Hauptmann defense was at. tempting to prove that Fisch tried to conceal the Lindbergh ransom money by leaving it with numerous friends. Mrs Bertha Hoff testified yesterday that Hauptmann's friend wanted to leave package witi her, but that she refused to take care of it.
