strangely resembling the Condor"
| Lanigan closed the direct examina-
tion by asking:
Now. Mr.. Tyrrell, you have ex-
amined all the writings in this case?
A. I have.
Y. From your examination Of the
conceded writings the request writings
and the ransom writings, can you say
positively who wrote the ransom notes.
A. think so.
@. Then state 1t.
| A. The writer Is Identical II Bruno
Richard Hauptmann wrote the Haupt-
mann writings, he also wrote the ran
som notes.
This closed direct examination and
a five-minute recess was taken.
Quizzed on Ability
As Handwriting Expert.
Tyrrell went back to the witness
chair to face cross examination by
Pope, of defense counsel.
@. How long have you been en-
gagged in the examination Of disputed
documents?
A. The difference between 1883 and
1884. My first case was in 1891.
Pope devoted his initial interroga-
ton to how a person becomes q hand
writing expert. The witness told him
that study and experience were the
prime essentials.
Pope then directed the witness to
the first ransom note.
O. Do you think the writer at-
tempted to disguise his hand?
! A. Yes.
Evening star., 1935-01-15

You may be an artist in disguise"
Tyrrell said.
The audience laughed, but neither
tice Trenchard to rap his customary
disapproval.
Difference in Forms
Admitted by Tyrrell.
Pope then went on to similar dis
cusSion on the letters IS" and ~"
He had the witness acknowledge that
there were different forms used when
some instances were referred to.
When other instances were men,
toned, Tyrrell would not agree to
Pope's contentious that the characters
were unlike.
Turning to the I'd" the lawyer
asked:
1T is not an unusual thing for a
writer to make the printed form of

Tyrrell said

ably meaning "every'D. That is diff

A. Well, I wouldn't say that.
@. Well, say diSsimilar?

more "dissimilarities" in the hand
writings.

The expert said he recognized a
dissimilarity. He went to the easel
and, with the defense counsel at his
side, began a lengthy explanation OF
his findings.

quest as to the purpose of defense

@. Would you say it was written

A. couldn't say. Who would
ask.
| Pope sought to bring out that an
or left hand was used, but Tyrrell
baked at making such a statement
He said sometimes it was possible to
tell, but not always.
Difference Is Seen
In Words and Expressions.
@. Did you notice any marked diff
ference between the first ransom note
and those received later by DR..
Condor?
| A. Yes
Q. How were the later ones diff
ferent?
A. They were less violent in ex-
preston, in words and in lines.
| @. Could some of these notes have
been copied?
A. If they were the COPPER had the
same way Of writing.
@. don't mean forgery. tracing or
initiating. refer more to copying

! A. I don't know
| @. What I mean is this: Besides
malformation of letters. what other
forms of handwriting disguise are
used?
A. Well, don't know exactly. 1t
depends on the disguiser.
Pope quietly pressed the expert to
outline the types of subterfuges used
by persons who were trying to dis
guise their writings. Tyrrell replied
patiently that the practice would vary
with individuals.
Pope wanted to know il an edu-
Gated man might be purposely un-
grammatical to disguise his hand.
| The witness said that was possible,
but not absolutely necessary.

Quiz Of Disguise Methods.

ness had not had a chance to answer

ness a chance to answer" said Justice

A. Yes.

to the easel and picked up the crayon,
but this must be illustrated"

@. And in some cases the ID" did
not look like "t?"
A. Yes.

ence in this instance the difficulty
that he seemed to have in forming the
his" exhibited this morning?
A. No.
q. You directed attention to the
word Not" which was spelled
''N-o-t-e?"
A. Yes.
q. Did you notice anything very
singular about that?
A. Yes. The misspelling "n-o-t-e'
instead of hot"
@. Don't you think that might
have been done by the author to
camoufiage his identity?
A. No, don't think so.
@. And what makes you think 1t
(the word "note') was an unconscious
incorrect spelling?
A. Because Of its phonetic value.
Pronounced "Note"
In German.
Pope asked him to explain, and
Tyrrell pointed out that in German
the word mot" would be pronounced
almost as note"
@. Then 1t Is your opinion that the
ransom notes and other exhibits were
probably written by q person Of Ger
man extraction?
A. Yes.
Pope seemed pleased at the answer
and announced "I,l return to that
later"
He turned next to the "e's" appear
ing in the two controverted handwrit-
ingS. and again went into a long,
painstaking comparison Of the various
forms Of the letter as it appeared in
both Hauptmann's and the ransom
writing.
@. Now the letter "e" has the ten
dency to represent the 81" rather than
the "e" in the dictated note. does it
not?
A. In one instance.
@. In one, two, three, four, five, six
instances on this chart?

NEW YORK, January 15.-Louis

Bitter. disclosing the incident to-
day, said Hauptmann exclaimed. on
word OF FiSch's death in Germany:
He has put it over on me!'
Bitter, lodge brother of Fisch,
was visited by Hauptmann and Henry
Uhlig to investigate Fischs financial
matters on June 10, after Fischs lodge
brothers had referred them to Bitter.
1t was the dead Fisch, Hauptmann
claims. who left with him the ransom
bills uncovered in the Hauptmann
home.
Wanted Box Opened.
"They wanted to open a safe de-
posit box belonging to Fisch," Bitter
said, because Hauptmann claimed
FiSch owed him $4,000. / never knew
the box existed until Hauptmann told
me, as well as the fact Fisch owed
him the money.
Il told them the only one to open
it would be the public administrator.
Hauptmann said FiSch had taken
everything to Germany, but to deter
mine If there was anything left he
wanted the safe deposit box opened.
i couldn't do anything for him.

and was found to be empty"
The $4,000 claimed due him from
Fisch was almost the exact amount of
Lindbergh bills found in Hauptmann's
possession at his Bronx home Haupt-
mann did not possess a note or other
papers attesting to the debt, Bitter
said.
"Uhlig who seemed to be a friend
of both Hauptmann and Fisch,"
Bitter said, brought the news Fisch
was dead. Hauptmann appeared to
think Fisch had taken everything back
to Germany and made no provision
to pay the loan. He has put it over
on me- Hauptmann said"
Asked how he construed the visit
and Hauptmann's allegations, Bitter
remarked: Your guess is as good as
mine"
THE prosecution has my state
ment," he said. "and they have inti-
mated that perhaps I would be called
as a State witness.

came to our lodge to report Fisch's
