Lindbergh kidnapping.
For the past 20 hours detectives
throughout the metropolitan New
.York-New Jersey area have been
checking every detail of his testi-
mony and the State was expected to
use all the information developed in
these investigations in an attempt
to discredit the witness and his story.
The court room crowd was no.
ticeably smaller and less eager today,
now that Hauptmann and his wife
have testified. The air of suppressed
excitement was absent and the spec
tators were quieter than they have
been for weeks.
Justice Trenchard
First to Arrive.
The principals in the murder trial
drama were slow in taking their ac-
,cuStomed places. Supreme Court JUS
.tice Thomas w. Trenchard was the
first to arrive minute later Haupt-
mann, pale but smiling slightly,
walked in with his guards, Chief De-
fense Counsel Edward J. Reilly; his
opponent, Attorney General David T.
Wilentz, and their legal associates
came in later, one by one.
Col Charles A. Lindbergh, accom-
panied by Col. H. Norman Schwarz-
kopf and Col Henry Breckenridge,
took his accustomed place back of the
prosecution table as court was about
to convene.
Court got under way at 1903 EAST
ern standard time)
cIo
IN his chair as the jury roll was called.
The jurist directed Elvert CarlStrom
to resume the witness stand and a
whispered conference of defense and
State attorneys followed.
The whispered conference was car
ried over to the judges bench and
Trenchard was consulted at length.
Carlstrom sat complacently in the
witness stand as if he were the only
person in the room. 1t could not be
learned Immediately what was the
subject of the lengthy conference.
Whispered Conferences
Held in Court.
During the delay, the whispering in
the court room increased. Hauptmann
and his wife ,llked together and Col.
Lindbergh and Col Schwarzkopf bent
forward together in their chairs for
whispered talk
The conference at the bench began
to break up. Wilentz left the front
of the bench first and the defense
attorneys came next, one by one.
Frederick A. Pope remained and called
WilentZ back.
WilentZ declined to discuss the
conference, as it at last ended. He
said, ASK the justice"
The cross examination Of CarlStrom
finally got under way at 1925.
, @. Now, you testified yesterday you
saw the defendant only once and that
was on the night of March l, 1882,
in the bakery? A. Yes.
@. And you testified you were up
in the Bronx that night to see
young lady who lived near the bakery.
a young lady of whom you were very
fond? A. Yes.
@. Did you see her? A. I didn't.
c. Oh, you didn't? A. 1t was too
late.
@. But you said that was why you
went up there that night? A. Yes.
Noted Time by
Subway Clock.
The witness told Wilentz he fixed
the time that he went to the Bronx
bakery by the subway clock.
After visiting the bakery Carlstrom
said he went to Brooklyn, about !
am.
@. What did you do there.
Carlstrom did not answer for long
time, and Wilentz asked if he under
stood the question.
Reilly interposed, suggesting that
the witness might feel that it might
incriminate him.
you?" WilentZ asked.
Yes" said Carlstrom, and an an
swer was not required
@. Tell me what time you left
Brooklyn? A. About in the morn
Ang.
The bland witness said he finally
got back to Dunellen at $50 am. He
was employed as a caretaker at an
empty house there.
The attorney general then directed
the witness to return to his account
of seeing Hauptmann on the kidnap
night. Carlstrom said the prisoner
was reading paper when he saw him
IN the bake shop where Mrs. Haupt-
mann was counter girl and waitress.
CarlStrom said "as far as he could
see,' Hauptmann was reading a news
paper that night in the bakery.
The witness, prompted by Wilentz,
admitted he had no engagement to
meet Esther" but came to the Bronx
with expectation of meeting her.
Q. Why did you bring her name
into this, then?
Question Withdrawn
BY WilentE.
Wilentz withdrew the question be-
fore an answer was given.
Wilentz asked the witness to iden-
tify Arthur Larsen, with whom he
boarded in the Bronx. Larsen arose
from a chair near the prosecution
table and Carlstrom said he remem-
bered him.
@. Arthur Larsen worked in Dun
ellen with you? A. Yes.
@. He stayed in that house with
you? A. No, he lived in the Bronx
@. But he didn't go home to the
Bronx every day he worked? A. No.
@. He stayed in Dunellen at night?
A. Yes.
Q. Slept in the same house with
you? A. Yes.
@. You never said a word about
Larsen yesterday? A. Because you
never asked me.
@. And you never said anything
about Larsen staying there, sleeping
there? A. I occupied the house.
Wilentz began reading yesterdays
record to show that Carlstrom testi-
fed he lived alone in the house in
Dunellen.
Never Left Week Ends,
He Maintains.
@. The truth is that you never left
Dunellen on any week day night ex-
cept the week end9 A. never left on |
