sleeping suit which was sent. 70 COL
onel Lndbergh BY the kidnaper, and
to It's thumbguard which had been
tied over the garment and which Bet
ty Cow, nurse, said she found hum
bred yards from the house 4 month
after the crime
Hid Baby In Woods
"You can equally infer that after
that little curly-headed babyx gar
ment was yanked from the body and
the thumbgua:d was dropped he
(Hauptmann) hurried on to his car,
but It was not until he found the first
safe and convenient place from the
Lindbergh home that he went into the
woods and there hurriedly scooped 4
grave and hurried on to the Bronx.
And that is proof that the baby died
on the premises because II the baby
died elsewhere 1t wouldn't be buried
50 near the Ll,6bergh home"
The state had to prove the murder
was in Hunterdon county where
Hauptmann Is or trial. The body was
found in Mercer county.
II viii say to YOU that Bruno
Richard Hauptmann who sits In this
courtroom did al Of these things" TO
this Hauck added, I'VE have shown
YOU by the evidence that Bruno
Richard Hauptmaun planned this
crime . long time"
Hauck praised the scientific detec-
tive work Of Arthur ]. Koehler, fed
eral wood techn'cian, whose testimony
was Z recital Of . long trail which
carried him to planning mills In North
Carolina. then to = Bronx lumberyard
where Hauptmann once worked. and
finally to Hauptmanns attic In the
Bronx to fit in the last piece OF =
complicated puzzle.
Koehler's Work Before Arrest
The prosecutor emphasized that all
Of Koehler's tracing, excepting that
having to do with the wood from
Hauptmann's attic and Hauptmann's
plane, was done year and q half
before the Bronx carpenter was ar
rested or known.
Silent testimony - testimony that
couldn't lie!" Hauck called this.
But there Is more evidence" he
went on. that spells out the very
word 'Hauptmannl Hauptmannl'"
He was talking about the ransom
notes, and he declared that the EVIL
dence was conclusive that Hauptmann
was the writer Of every one OF them.
There Is another silent witness that
shouts out, and that Is that board that
was taken from the closet Of Bruno
Hauptmann,s hcme, . board on which
Is not only the address Of Dr.. John r.
(Jafsie) Condor, but Dr.. Condon's
original telephone number in the writ
ing Of Bruno Richard Hauptmann
which under oath In the Bronx he
said was his, . board that wasn't out
where the whole world could see it,
but was In the closet Of Bruno
Richard Hauptn1ann's home"
Bruno's Voice Distinctive
Recalling Colonel Lindbergh's testi-
mony that It was Hauptmann'S voice
he heard In . Bronx cemetery when
DR.. Condor paid over the $4,000
ransom for the dead baby, Hauck said
to the jury:
"You who have heard that voice on
the stand here would never forget Il"
AL OF the mute things In the chain
Of circumstances against Hauptmann
were carefully piled up In front Of the
jury for It's silert inspection.
The inanimate witnesses were the
ladder: the panel Of wood on which
the state charges Hauptmann jotted
down the telephone number and adj
dress Of DIR. John F. (Jafsie) Condor,
intermediary: the $4,000 In
ransom gold notes found In Haupt-
mann's garage: the piece Of floor
board from Hauptmann's attic which
the state charges was an upright In
the ladder; the tools with which he
Is alleged to have built the ladder,
and numerous photographs, charts
and maps along with the II ransom
notes which experts said Hauptmann
wrote.
