out, that the baby died instantly.
Reillys voice had risen to an ora
torical pitch. His face grew redder
as he warmed to his task. Hauptmann
watched Reillys broad back and
blinked occasionally as the chief coun-
sells big hand smacked the table to
emphasize a point Lindbergh, too,
fixed his gaze on Reilly.
He reminded the attentive jurors
that man is presumed to be inno-
cent until proven guilty.
I'm this case it is very apparent
that since the defendant was arrested
the burden of proving his innocence
shifted to him."
His fist smote the table.
This is the crime of the century.
You'll have that howled into your
ears by the gentlemen who will reply
to my words.
There is no doubt it was the crime
Of the century. I'm not here to

This is the crime of the century"
he went on, 1.-The worst crime, the
lowest crime that the books hold. But
the defendant is not guilty"
Reilly said he admired and sympa-

Reilly pointed to the diagrams of
the Lindbergh home, built for his
wife and baby"
Bruno Richard Hauptmann never
drove a nail in that house." Reilly
said. He never stopped near Prince
ton Airport. He never went on that
estate"
They would have you believe"
Reilly went on, that Hauptmann was
q master mind, in one breath, and
in the next that he was the worst
fool in the world.
They want YOU to believe he wore
gloves when making the ladder and

AS the recital continued, Haupt-
mann's eyes blinked rapidly and he
raised a finger to cheek as though
brushing away tear.
Col. Lindbergh
Listens With Set Face.
Col. Lindbergh sat listening with
interest, his face set. Col. Schwarz-
kopf and Col Breckenridge listened,
chins resting on hands
Reilly mentioned Charles B. RoSsi-
ter the man who said he saw Haupt-
mann near the Princeton airport the
Saturday before the kidnapping.
"Shifty-eyed," Reilly snapped. as he
spoke of RoSsiter on the stand. He |
left this court without me knowing |

He said Rossiter was a typical |

"This wonderful scenario" he re-
peated loudly, but it's not founded
on honest facts"
II don't believe Rossiter, any more
than believe Whited, because Haupt-
mann was never near Hopewell."
He permitted his voice to drop
slightly.
There are certain concrete facts
in this case which stand out like sore
thumbs.

ask yourself when you enter the jury
room is:

mann in the Bronx know anything
about the Lindbergh house"
Col. Lndbergh was stabbed in the

ct say this to you: Nobody in Gods

Lindbergh's expression never chang
