TO them than to the roll call Of the
jury, or any other function Of court
routine. But as Wilentz ended his
breath-taking speech tbs noon, and
the mor1ent came for the Judge TO
dismiss Hauptmann, his deep gaze
penetrated the defendant with a sort
OF profound wonder, as he said in a
voice which We have never heard be-
fore, THE prisoner" and here he
paused with his eyes still fixed upon
him, lis now remanded to the custody
of the sheriff" Almost it was as
though he had added land may God
have mercy on his soul"
This was not the mild, impartial,
sometimes smiling Trenchard whom
we have all grown to know with fond
familiarity; this was a man who was
probing into another mans heart; this
was a man who felt upon his bowed
shoulders the burden of dreadful re-
sponSibility. The very verdict rem
dered by the jury may depend upon
the judges charge, and he knew it well
as his still, solemn eyes followed
Hauptmann to the door of the library.
Troopers Guard Hotel.
I think that no one could have left
that room in the same mood in which
he entered it. Verna Snyder, juror
No. 3, oppressed by the tenseness of
the courtroom scene, the milling
crowds, and no doubt by the sense Of
responsibility which must weigh upon
them all, was unable to finish her
lunch in the crowded hotel dining
room, where the jury's only privacy
is afforded by f1imsy screen, and
retired to her room for brief rest
She returned to the box white and
shaken, and last night troopers were
assigned to the second and third floors
of the hotel to prevent invasion by
the curiosity seekers who thronged
Pennington like milling, malicious in
sects. Small wonder If the entire jury
was shaken by the cries of the harpies
in the streets as these ~ passed from
the court house to the hotel, Kill
Hauptmann! Kill Hauptmann!"
Tomorrow they will be locked in a
room, which has not yet been des-
ignated for fear of dictaphones and
other such dishonest devices, and there
they will remain in one of the most
solemn conclaves ever held over a
man. They will not sleep, they will
not eat, save by the clemency of JUS
tice Trenchard; they will bare their
hearts and minds to each other, who
have sat silent so long listening to
the words Of others, and when they
emerge from hat room and file be-

could not have identified that voice,
and that it is unlikely that the de-
PENDANT would have talked with Con-
don. Well, those questions are for the
determination Of this jury. after
having patiently listened to the evil
dence bearing upon those topics. II
you find that the defendant was the
man to whom the ransom money was
delivered, as a result of the directions
in the ransom notes, bearing symbols
like those on the original ransom note,
the question is pertinent: Was not
the defendant the man who left the
ransom note on the window sill Of the
nursery and who took the child from
its crib, after opening the closed WIN
dow?
1t is argued by defendants coun-
sci that the kidnapping and murder
was done by gang, and not by the
defendant, and that the defendant
was in no wise concerned therein. The
argument was to the effect that it was
done by a gang, with the help or
connivance of some one or more
servants of the Lindbergh or Morrow
households.
Now, do you believe that? Is there
any evidence in this case whatsoever
to support any such conclusion?
| A very important question in the
| case is, did the defendant Hauptmann
write the original ransom note found
| on the window sill, and the other ram
som notes which followed? Numerous
| experts testified that the defendant
/ Hauptmann wrote every one OF the
ransom notes and Mr.. Osborn. ST., said
| that that conclusion was irresistible,
unanswerable and overwhelming On
the other hand, the defendant denies
that he wrote them and handwriting
expert, called by him, so testified.
And so the fact becomes one for your
determination. The weight Of the evil
dence to prove the genuineness Of
handwriting is wholly for the jury.
AS bearing upon the question
whether or not the defendant was the
man to whom was paid the ransom
money in the cemetery, you will Of
course, consider the evidence to the
effect that the defendant had written
the address and telephone number Of
DR.. Condor on the door jamb Of his
closet; and if you believe that he did,
although he now denies it, you may
conclude that it throws light upon the
question whether or not he was deal
ing with DR.. Condor.
AS have said, the defendant denies
that he was the man who was paid the
ransom money, and there is other
testimony which, if credible and be-
| lieved by you, supports his statement.
You will consider as bearing upon
| that question, the fact that record
of the serial numbers of the ransom
money was retained. Now, does it not
appear that many Of the ransom bills
were traced to the possession Of the
defendant? Does it not appear that
many thousands of dollars Of ransom
bills were found in his garage, hidden
In the walls or under the floor, that
others were found on his person when
he was arrested and others passed by
him from time to time?
No One Testified
On Seeing Cash Box.
You may also consider in this con-
nection the evidence to the effect that
shortly after the delivery of the ram
som money the defendant began to
purchase stocks in a much larger way
and to spend money more freely than
he had before.
The defendant says that these ran
som bills, moneys, were left with him

dence tends to prove that the defend
ant was elsewhere at the time the
crime was committed, at the same
time tends to contradict the fact that
the crime was committed by the de-
PENDANT. whereas here, the presence
Of the defendant is essential to guilt,
and If q reasonable doubt Of guilt is
raised, even by inconclusive evidence
Of an alibi. the defendant is entitled
to the benefit Of that doubt.
AS bearing upon the question Of
whether or not the defendant was
present at the Lindbergh home on
March l, 1882, you, Of course, should
consider the testimony Of Mr.. Hoch-
muth, along with that Of other wit
nesses. Mr.. Hochmuth lives at or
about the entrance of the lane that
goes up TO the Lindbergh house.
He testified that on the forenoon
of that day, March l, 1882, he saw
the defendant at that point, driving
rapidly from the direction OF Hope
we'll; that he got in the ditch or
dangerously near the ditch, and that he
had a ladder in the car, which car
was a dirty green
This testimony, if true, is highly
significant. Do you think that there
is any reason upon the whole, TO
doubt the truth Of the old mans testi-
mony? May he not have we'll and
easily remembered the circumstance,
in view Of the fact that that very
night the child was carried away?
Consider Credibility
of Witnesses.
The defendant, as I have said,
denies that he was there or ever in
the neighborhood; but, as bearing
upon that question, you should con-
slider the testimony Of other witnesses,
that the defendant was seen in the
neighborhood not long before March
l, 1882, and give 1t such weight as
you think it is entitled to, after con-
sidering the credibility of the wit
nesses, as disclosed by the evidence.
The defendant has produced some
testimony, besides his own, that he
was in New York on the day and eve
ming of March /. 1882, and some tes-
timony besides his own, that on the
evening of April 2, 1882, when the
ransom money was delivered, he was
at his home
This testimony produced by the de-
PENDANT I shall not attempt to recite
in greater detail. It should be given
consideration by you and given such
weight as you think it is entitled to.
after considering it in connection with
all of the other evidence in the case,
bearing upon these questions and all
other questions in the case, determi-
nation of which would tend to throw
light upon the case.
You should consider the fact, where
it is the fact, that several Of the wit
nesses have been convicted of crime,
and to determine whether or not their
credibility has been affected thereby;
and where it appears that witnesses
have made contradictory statements,
you should consider that fact and de-
termine their credibility as affected
thereby.
The evidence produced by the State
is largely circumstantial in character.
In order to justify the conviction Of
the defendant upon circumstantial
evidence, it is necessary not only that
all Of the circumstances concur to
show that he committed the crime
charged, but that they are incon-
sistent with any other rational con-
clusion.
It is not sufficient that the circum-
stances proved coincide with, account

murder in the first degree, coupled
with imprisonment for life. then you
must so put it in your verdict, be-
cause the law reads that every per-
son convicted Of murder in the first
degree. its aiders, abettors. counselors
and procurers, shall suffer death un-
less the jury shall, by their verdict
and as a part thereof, upon and after
consideration of all the evidence,
recommend imprisonment at hard
labor for life, In which case this and
no greater punishment shall be i'm
posed.
The clerk may swear these con-
stables to safely keep the jury until
they have agreed upon their verdict.

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1935-02-13

By one Fisch, a man now dead. Do
you believe that?
He says that he found them in a
shoe box which had been reposing on
the top shelf Of his closet several
months after the box had been left
with him, and that he then, With
out telling anybody, secretly hid them,
or most OF them, in the garage, where
they were found by the police. Do
you believe his testimony that the
money was left with him in shoe
box, and that it rested on the top
shelf in his closet for several months?
His wife, as l recall it, said that
she never saw the box; and I do not
recall that any witness excepting the
defendant testified that they ever saw
the shoe box there.
AS bearing upon the question
whether or not the defendant was
the man who took the child and LETT
the ransom letter on the window SILL
you should, Of course. consider the
evidence with respect to the ladder,
If you find, as seems likely, that 1t was
used in reaching the nursery. That
the ladder was there seems to be I'M
questioned. II it was not there for
the purpose Of reaching that nursery
window, for what purpose was II
there? There is evidence from which
you may conclude, il you see MT, that
the defendant built the ladder, al
though he denies it. Does not the
evidence satisfy you that at least a
part of the wood from which the
ladder was built came out Of the floor
ing of the attic of the defendant?
In this connection you should con-
slider the marks upon the wood, and
give the evidence in respect thereto
such weight as you think 1t entitled
to, after a consideration Of the credi-
blity Of the witnesses who testified IN
respect thereto.
The defendant has offered himself
as a witness in his own behalf, AND
the law makes him a competent wit
ness, Notwithstanding his very deer
interest in the event OF the trial.
Brunos Own Story
May Be Considered.
His evidence is not to be rejected
merely for the reason that he Is In
terested, but his interest in the result
NAV be taken into consideration by
YOU as an important circumstance
upon the question Of his credibility
the question whether he is telling the
truth.
You should also consider his testi-
mony in view of its inherent prob
ability or improbability, in the light
of all of the facts and circumstances
as disclosed by the evidence.
It appeared on the examination o.
the defendant here In court that hi
has heretofore been convicted Of
crime. That testimony may be given
consideration by you as affecting his
credit as a witness, and for that pur-
pose only.
The defendant denies that he was
ever on the Lndbergh premises, de-
MES that he was present at the time
that the child was seized and carried
away. He teStifles that he was in New
York at that time.
He denies that he received the ran
som money In the cemetery and says
that he was at his home at that time
on the evening Of April 2, 1892.
