also known by any one who has any
experience with cutting OF logs and
lumber that the butt logs produce
most of the clear grades Of lumber
and the knotty lumber comes from the
top logs. In fact, logs are sometimes
left in the woods. top logs are left
in the woods. simply because they
are too knotty, not because they are
too small"
Koehler said he examined the lad
der rail in 1898, before Hauptmann's
arrest, and saw in it the four nail
holes which he said jibed with nail
holes in the joists Of Hauptmann's
attic. DR.. E M. Hudson, a New York
physician. who testified for the de-
fense, said there was only one nail
hole in the piece when he examined it.
The Federal wood man said he not
only observed the nail holes, but made
a diagram Of them.
Koehler UphoIds Story.
Frederick A. Pope Of defense counsel
directed his cross examination toward
an attempt to weaken Koehlers CAL
culationS. The wood man appeared
at no loss to answer any Of the highly
technical questions.
The questioning became a duel with
caliperS for weapons. Both attorney
and witness drew out each his own
pair and began splitting inches into
the ten-thousandths. Jurors and
spectators listened open-mouthed to
the battle as calipers slipped over
wood for fine measurements.
Pope charged Koehlers whole pre-
mise about the plane marks failed
since he had not established the di-
mensions Of the solids Of the ridges
on the ladder and the dimension Of
the hicks on the plane blade.
Il can measure the distance be-
tween houses in a block without
measuring the size of the houses"
the expert retorted.
Pope insisted it was mere opinion.
No" said Koehler, Il say that I
am expressing a fact. Those plane
marks correspond"
BY Tuesday night. both sides agreed
today, the case should be in the hands
of the eight men and four women
jurors.
Attorney General WilentZ had about
10 witnesses with which to complete
rebuttal, and expected to conclude his
case late IN the afternoon.
Defense Counsel Edward ]. Reilly
expected to call only one sur-rebuttal
witness before closing the door to fur
ther testimony.
Prior to conclusion of the States
rebuttal testimony, there was some
doubt over the advisability Of Reilly's
desired witness, Arch w. Loney, P. W.
A. wood expert, at Washington. from
whom Reilly had planned to adduce
testimony that Hauptmann did not
make the kidnap ladder. and that
wood from the Hsuptmann attic did
not go into its construction.
Loney, IN Washington last night,
wired Reilly he would decline the de-
fense invitation because there was
insufficient time to study the wood.
He indicated, however, he would be
willing to appear if the case was car
ried over until next week to allow him
time to make an examination.
Summation Monday.
Summations were scheduled to begin
Monday, with Anthony NJ Hauck, jr.,
Hunterdon County prosecutor, making
an opening statement to the jury. The
defense will follow.
The summation for the defense
will require full day Monday Reilly
said.
Attorney General Wilentz expected
to take about three hours Tuesday in
summing up for the State. No sus-
pension of the trial will be ordered
for the usual Lincoln birthday ami
versary holiday Tuesday.
Hauptmann watched the concluding
day of testimony today with some
satisfaction.
II think you have done a good job"
he told Defense Attorney Egbert Rose
Grams for the defense staff.
Il am satisfied. think the jury
now has a good chance to see for
themselves that I had nothing to do
with the Lindbergh kidnapping.

less of what comes it will not bother
me-"
DO you mean your conscience Is
clear?" questioned Rosecrans.
That's it," the defendant replied.
