That's where I live" Reich ex-
planned.
Reich said he did not remember DR..
Condor coming to City Island during
ransom negotiations in March. 1882.
Who Suggested Payment?
Reilly swung abruptly to the mat
ter of the ransom payment.
"At whose suggestion was the S70.-
900 brought to DR.. Condon's home?"
Anything that was done at the
time was done with the consent of
Col. Lindbergh Col. Breckenridge, and
DR.. Condon."
Did you hear DR.. Condor suggest
it would be a good idea to have the
money in the Bronx"
No"
who knew the money was to be in
the Bronx that night?"
Col. Lindbergh. Col. Breckenridge,
DR.. Condor and myself"
so after the money was there in
the Bronx. there comes the instruc-
tion to pay the money in 80 minutes"
"Yes."
Reich said the police knew the pay
off was to be made, but were not aware
| OF at what place.
Reilly pressed Reich to explain why
he did not follow the doctor and the
flying colonel to protect them, and
why he did not take more important
role in the proceedings.
Il wasn't an executive in this;
was just a dot on the eye" the ex-
pugilist replied. and the court laughed
heartily.

TEMINGTON, N. j., January g.
Behold Mrs. Verna Snyder, seated in
chair No. 3 in the Hauptmann jury
box-yawning.
That's how she regards the dra-
matte murder trial at times, especially
when the attorneys begin to argue
over such legal technicalities as ad-
instability of the kidnap ladder.
Her stout legs swing in unison, the
feet lifted slightly from the floor, and
sometimes her fingers drum on the
chair arm. One sees Mrs. Snyder,
who weighs $50, also nodding her
head.
Mrs. Snyder did drop her listless
demeanor when 87-year -old Amandus
Hochmuth identified Bruno Haupt-
mann. Her massive form leaned for
ward, and she looked at Hochmuth.
She was interested.
Wears Coat in Court.
She is as puzzling as the Lindbergh
case itself. She sits through oppres-
sive heat with her beige coat on, its
striped fiat fur lying about her neck.
But at dinner, in the Union Hotels
cooler dining room. she is seen coat
less, In handsome black dress.
As the trial progresses, this jury's
characteristic attitudes are stamping
themselves on the public mind. The

At Mystery of the Century

Mrs. Rosie Pill in her poppy printed
dress and Mrs. Mary Brelsford, the
former lodge matron, sitting under
the American nag.
Mrs. Brelsford chewed gum at one
session, and so did many in the court
room.
Mrs. Pill, who Is heavier than Mrs
Snyder but doesn't look 1t, holds the
same position day after day-a grand
motherly figure in spectacles. She
sits well back in her chair, her hands
on the arms, and apparently follows
every word. Mrs. Pill Is the Califon
widow who does bead work.
Take Duty Gravely.
Three others who seem to take the
duty gravely are Mrs. Ethel Stockton,
the youngest woman on the Jury, who
has followed the testimony with un-
wavering attention: Charles Walton,
ST., the gray-haired jury foreman, and
George Voorhees,, . Clinton township
farmer who has an open, serious face.
Eleven of the twelve jurors are
parents, and q few are grandparents.
Often Mrs. Stockton leans far
forward to miss no detail, and some
times she props her chin on her hand.
She is slender, has red-brown bobbed
hair and regular features. and wears
no makeup.
Robert Cravatt, the one bachelor on
the Jury, Is another close listener. He
wears glasses. and appears to weigh
the testimony with Q scholarly air.

FLEMINGTON, N. j., January e.
At the prosecution and defense tables
in the Hauptmann murder trial sit
legal aides to the principals, schooled
by long study and experience in the
grim business before them.
The associates of Attorney General
David T. Wilentz at the prosecution
table, who rarely address the court,
but who follow his development of the
States case with unabating attention,
include three men frcm his office at
the State Capitol
They are Joseph Lanigan, whose
activities during his many years con-
nection with the State legal depart
ment have made him familiar with
crime prosecution in many a New
Jersey county: Richard Stockton, Sd.
descendant of an old family. whose
knowledge Of legal precedent makes
him useful in conforming the evidence
to the rules. and Robert Peacock,
whose interviews with many of the
witnesses have placed the evidence and
exhibits to be produced at his 1inger-
tips.
Prosecutor Present.
With these are the prosecutor OF
Hunterdon County, youthful Anthony
M. Hauck, Jr., N whose jurisdiction
the crime was allegedly committed,
and the county's leading lawyer,
former Judge George K. Large. who
knows law and criminal trial procedure
from long practice.
Edward j. Reilly, the Brooklyn GRIM
inal lawyer who seeks to free Haupt-
mann of the murder charge. has as
sistance from three attorneys, trained
by experience to give a defendant the
utmost during his day in court.
c. Lloyd Fisher of Pennington al
| though a young man, has been en-
gagged in active practice in the county
| for more than 10 years. giving atten-
tion to much criminal work. His con-
nection with the Lindbergh crime is
not new, for he defended John Hughes
Curtis, the Norfolk boatbuilder who
was convicted two years ago of OBJ
structing justice in the case.
Watches WilentZ.
In similar capacity. Frederick A.
Pope of Scmerville assists the defense.
Pope not only is thoroughly familiar
with the rules of evidence and pro-
notes many of the objections to the
States methods, but he has had per-
;onal experience in litigation with At
torney General Wilentz. He is able
to foretell with considerable accuracy
the course the State counsel will
pursue.
Fourth at the defense table IS Eg-
bert RoSecrans of Blairstown. known
in Western Jersey for his success in
obtaining acquitals in homicide cases.
His advice in defense attack on the
States case as it unfoldS is often fol-
lowed by Reilly.

IF it doesn't, I'll be very much
surprised he replied.
Reilly Promises Long Quiz.
Reilly said of his cross s-examination
plans We'll take all of the rest of
the afternoon. oh. yes. Well 60 over
all the ground very thoroughly.
"Our cross examination will prob
ably take a full day and half" he
estimated
Mrs. Ralph Hacker. Condon's daugh-
ter, entered the court near the end of
the noon recess.
Hauptmann. with wan smile on
his ashen face, talked quietly with his
| counsel in the minutes before court
| convened. He seemed to be little
tired.
Court resumed at 1:46 pm.
lJafsie took the stand again.
Wilentz picked up the questioning
from where he left off-the trip of
Jafsie and Lindbergh to st. Raymonds
Cemetery to pay the $4,000 ransom.
There followed a long descriptive
narrative of the geography of ST.
Raymond's Cemetery.
Lindbergh followed closely the doc
tors description of the route he took
after he had left him to pay the
ransom.
The flyer nodded in apparent un-
conscious agreement at times.
Il showed him (Col. Lindbergh) the
note" related Jafsie, describing his
actions after getting the note at the
greenhouse.
Followed Note Directions.
II then walked across the street
following the directions of the note.
Il then walked along the east side
of fremont avenue past the entrance
of the gate of the cemetery"
He said he saw no one and was re-
tracing his steps to report to the
colonel when he heard himself hailed
In loud voice.
Then, all of a sudden, heard be-
hind me q voice calling:
Hey, doctor. Over here!'" Con-
don said.
DR.. Condor heightened the 20" and
rolled the "r" in doctor" to give 1t
slight foreign accent.
Then I walked back toward the
voice, which seemed to come from a
mound in st. Raymonds cemetery.
1T was very dark. But I stood in
the light of the street lamp" he
continued.
There was a hedge fence about
feet tall" he said, describing the spot
whence came the voice.
@. Is that q continuation Of the
cemetery?
A. Yes, sir.
@. How far did you 60?
Heard Voice Again.
A. went about 10 feet, and there
again heard the same voice as I
heard when I was up on the corner
when he called Hey, doktor."
Q. Then what?
A. He said, Have you got the
money!" the same. as he said the
night met him at Woodlawn Gene
terry.
Il said, Col. Lindbergh has it,"
Condor continued.
"He said, Is he on?'
IT said, I don't know
HE said, Give me the money
II said, not till you give me re-
ceipt-beg pardon--a note, saying

Ransom Reduction Asked.
st said, Col. Lindbergh is not so
rich. Why don't you be decent to
him?' .... '..
"'Well, I suppose If We can't get
10 we'll take so. In 10 minutes ! get
the note and come back"
He told how he returned to Col.
Lindbergh and got the box containing
$4,000, Lindbergh first removing the
additional $4,000 which had been
brought along.
He returned to the rendezvous at
the hedge. he said.
q. What happened then?
A. He was crouched down under
the hedge. said, Come on, stand
up like q man; have the money"
I said. Come on, give me the note"
He put his hand in q coat pocket.

once he has to come to us anyway
but If he keeps on waiting We will

lutte no fear about the child. 1t Is

Wilentz gave Condor still another
note-a ransom note enclosed in the
usual transparent envelope used by
the State to preserve these documents.
Says He Received Letter.
Eyes, sir; I received that letter." he
replied after inspecting it carefully.
The note was admitted in evidence
and once again Wilentz read to the
jury.
1t said:
Dear sir: Have the money ready by
Saturday eve we will inform you
where and how to deliver it. Have
the money in one bundle We want you

Identifies Ad in Paper.
The retired teacher then identified
the ad he placed in the paper, follow
ing his receipt of that note.
Il accept Money is ready" said
the ad which appeared April 2.
1t was on that day the ransom
money was brought to Condon's Bronx
home. Jafsie said.
1t was on this day. too, he went on,
that note from John was delivered
at his home.
The jurors seemed even more tense
as they leaned forward to hear
Wilentz read this note, the next to last
in the Inflated ransom negotiations.
The note said:

Relates Story Of Ride.
Jafsie then, in his pedagogical way.
began the tale of the ride he and the
flying colonel took to the ransom pay
ment rendezvous.
Following the kidnapers' instruc-
ton, the doctor said, they drove to a
greenhouse. where he found another
note beneath q stone under q table
In front of the place.
Wilentz showed him a piece Of

Condor identified the note as "the

Wilentz read the note:

Proponents of the program said
they were confident the House will

legislation provided:
1, An embargo prohibiting
shipment of American arms or
munitions to any belligerentS.
2. A law prohibiting Amer
lean ships from carrying arms
or munitions to belligerents
from other countries.
3. A provision prohibiting
American citizens from travel
