off, as court convened at 1904
for another day of Hauptmanns muir
der trial.
The educator from the BroLx was
back in the witness chair and the
defense launched its thrusts at his
story CT his role in the Lindbergh
ransom negotiations.
Hauptmann was the first principal
of the court drama to appear. His
face seemed even paler than usual.
There was drawn, tired look on his
countenance as if he had not slept
we'll.
When the former German Army
machine gunner arrived in court
full Is minutes before Justice Tren-
chard took the bench, the room was
already we'll filled and more specta-
tors were constantly arriving. a
steady chatter of conversation made
a sibilant buzz as photographers TOOK
the regular Gaily pictures OF the jury.
Mrs Hauptmann
Confers With Husband.
Mrs. Hauptmann came in few
INMATES before the trial resumed ana
held her regular morning conversa-
ton with the prisoner. 1t was orleler
than usual, however, for neither
seemed in the mood for a lengthy
talk.
Reilly with his legal associates, G.
Ilovd Fisher, Frederick A. Pope and
Egbert Rosecrans, were con1errlng at
the defense table as the State legal
staff. headed by Attorney General
David T. Wilentz arrived.

bv AL Reich. Col Charles A. Lindbergh
and Col. H Norman Schwarzkop1'
entered.

friend and legal adviser, was with the
group.

baegy black suit, the same cellulolo
collar. the same heavy gold watcn
chain and fob. He had changed his
customary red knitted tie for nne
dark one.

told him to resume the witness stand.
He looked kindly at the jurors.

tourned yesterday we we're discussing
a note found under rock.
